HCG...Day 5

Today started off normal...however I did have an idea that I would eat breakfast a little later than I usually do so that I don't have as much time in between eating.  Considering last night...that was rough for me.

So it was time to weigh and considering that I had "cheated" last night I didn't anticipate losing any...actually I was hoping to not have gained. 

I lost 1 pound...totaling 6 pounds!!  Thank you Jesus!

So I ate a 1/2 of a grapefruit and drank some water.

Oddly, I can tell you that I was not feeling hungry today.

Lunch consisted of a turkey burger patty (with sea salt which has to be included in my diet every day) along with a sliced tomato.  Seriously, I almost couldn't finish the turkey burger patty. 

So things were going much better today.

I had 9 strawberries for my snack and that carried me until I had made dinner for a large group of our friends.  We had homemade tacos with those phenomenal tortillas from Costco that are like they are raw and you put them in a heated pan and they puff up like home made tortillas...aye yai yai...this is a down fall for me.  I made about 12-15 of those tacos and didn't have a desire to have one.  Of course I know how delicious they would have been but was not starving.

Also...NO LIGHT HEADED tonight!  No headache either. 

Tonight was awesome. 
Going in to dinner I had eaten a total of 220 calories...now understand that if you tried to do this without the HCG, your body would starve.  But my body is releasing about 2000 to 4000 calories from fat a day because of the HCG.  This allows my body to take calories where it needs them so we are distributing the stored fat. 

So for dinner I had crab with a K (imitation crab) and haven't had my vegetable yet.  Hmmm...what to have, what to have.

I can already tell you that I can tell a difference in my belly...it has gone down. 

Can't wait to weigh in the morning...no cheating tonight.  Thank you Jesus!  36 days to go!  LOL

HCG...Day 3

Today was the first day that I had to cut my calories to around 500 calories for the day.  With HCG, your body is actually releasing fat and redistributing fat that is stored, so your body is actually living on more than 500 calories, but that is all I am able to consume for the next 42 DAYS!!!

So here's how it went...
HCG are drops that I put under my tongue before breakfast, lunch and dinner. 

For breakfast:  I had a 1/2 a grapefruit and water...feeling just fine.  Not any hunger.

For Lunch:  I had 1/2 of a turkey burger that I made by the George Foreman grill with Sea Salt sprinkled on it and a sliced tomato with a glass of water.

After lunch I was still feeling fine but then in the early afternoon really started to feel light headed and a bit fatigued.  The HCG guidebook actually said that I could feel light headed and fatigued on days 3 through 6.  So knowing that it was normal, made me feel better, however I didn't care for the feeling.

For Snack: I had an apple and a glass of water

Around 4pm I was able to lay down for about an hour and then had to head off to a meeting about an hour away (one way). 

What I have found so far today is that eating is actually a habit for me.  I find that there are certain times of the day that I am accustomed to eating and I find myself walking in to the pantry and out of habit going for a handful of animal crackers or maybe some kettlecorn.

Getting home from my meeting at around 10pm, I found myself feeling like I was super hungry.  I realized that this is my normal routine of coming home from a meeting and eating a bowl of cereal or something of the likes regardless of the time of night. 
Perhaps I eat for comfort...LOL  It's funny that I'm just realzing these things at 34  years old.

I went to bed hungry and made it without a problem!!  Thank you Jesus!

HCG Weightloss Journey - Day 1 & 2

For those of you who don't know what HCG is...it's a natural horomone that is turning in to a weight loss cure...not a diet.  I have researched the hilt out of it.  Holistic doctors are prescribing this for weight loss...here's how it works.

This is actually straight off of the website where I bought it:

Homeopathic HCG oral drops now available to you at a price that is affordable. This is the exact same type of kit and product that sells at the weight loss/ wellness/chiropractor clinics for $250 +, you will actually get more with this kit than what most of them offer. I am selling these kits in 21 days ( 3 weeks) and 42 days (6 weeks) plans which includes everything you would need to get started (except for the fresh food of course!). Lose up to 1-2 pounds a day safely and learn how to keep it off successfully. This program is based off of Dr. Simeons "Pounds and Inches" HCG is claimed to mobilize stored fat, suppress appetite and redistribute fat from hard to lose places like waist, hips and thighs. It breaks down abnormal fat and releases it into the bloodstream, therefore loosing inches as well as pounds. It is also believed to reset your entire endocrine system which your metabolism is a part of and allows you to keep the weight off.


This Diet is not gender specific and works great for both men and women.

Some other additional benefits that most clients have experienced: Balancing of hormones, lowered blood pressure, lower cholestrol, better more relaxed sleep, less joint pain, this only names a few!
There is NO mixing or daily shots required. People are having close to the exact same results with these oral drops as they are with the shots. All of my clients who have done both have all said after they did these drops that they would never go back to to shots! Save yourself the mixing and measuring headache as well as the pain of daily injections. This kit will also save you quite a bit of money over paying for the hcg shots which could cost you up to $1500 +.


Below:  Me and my girls about 1 week ago.

So here I go...I started HCG on Sunday, June 13th and here is my record of my journey...

You put the HCG drops under your tongue and then wait 15 min before you eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Due to the fact that your body will be releasing fat over the next (42-days for me), the first 2 days are what they call "fat filling" days.  I know this sounds crazy but when you understand how it works, it makes perfect sense. 

So basically for all day Sunday and Monday (Day 1 & 2), I have to eat a ton of good and bad fats.  Avacados, cheese, etc.  including french fries, donuts, ice cream, etc.

So that's what I have done for the last two days.

Day 1- was very easy to eat all of the fat.  I ate bisquits and gravy for breakfast, a hot dog from costco with a berry sundae for lunch and pizza for dinner with a piece of coconut cream pie.  (I am not a fan of greasy food or red meat or I could have eaten a heck of a lot more fat.)

Day 2- was a little harder to eat because I just didn't really have as much of an appetite.  I ate pizza for breakfast and a piece of coconut cream pie.  Pizza for lunch and some cashews.  Along with a mexican pizza from Taco Bell for dinner. 

So after being on this for 2 days I have felt ABSOLUTELY no different what so ever! 

I am excited to start the "Weight loss" part of the diet on Day 3!

Stay tuned through my 42-day weight loss journey!!

HCG...follow my journey!

"I've got to lose a kilogram Me buttonholes are stretching And when I bend down in me shorts Me rear end aint so fetching ..."  ~Tess Rowley

So after much consideration and after talking to many people who have lost a TON of weight on HCG...I decided that I was going to jump in and get losing!!

I understand that there are mixed feelings on HCG...which is a horomone that Holistic doctors are giving to patients to help them lose weight.  100% natural, the results are unbelieveable.

Whether you agree or disagree...none the less, I am going to track my progress and my daily experiences with HCG.  So for those of you debating whether it is or is not for you...this could help you in your decision.

I will be completely honest and up front about everything that I am experiencing on my weight loss journey.

I should be receiving it in the mail tomorrow...and then the story begins.

For now...Happy Sunday!

Random Tuesday Thoughts...Oprah, G-strings, Twin Skin

Tuesday again...here we go!

This is one of my favorite days in the blog world because this is the time that you are encouraged to write about your most random thoughts...link up with Keely over at The Un Mom and get down with your randomness.

Don't you think it's funny how things that started affecting you when you were pregnant never go away...for example...when I was pregnant and would hear a loud applauses, they would make me very emotional and I would cry.  Don't ask!  So every day my husband would get off work at 4pm...get home around 4:10pm and I would be crying...he would look at the TV and I would be watching Oprah.  He would say, "did Oprah come out on her own show again babe?"  I would cry and look at him and say yes...you see when they applauded for Oprah, I was overwhelmed and would cry.  The crazy thing is that applauses still greatly choke me up today...remember you wanted random...well you're getting it.

G-string underwear...I have to wear them with dress pants (so basically every single day)...otherwise you will see the "panty line" and that's a fashion no no...so I have heard.  There are two funny things that I have found with this...

1) they actually make you feel sexy (as sexy as an oversized mother of twins with a lot of left over "twin skin" in the front can feel) and

2) they don't feel like they are going up your butt. 

Again...remember the topic...random tuesday!  Hello!

As for my "twin skin" what is that all about?  For all of you who had twins or more out there...you totally know what I am talking about.  Twin skin is what is left of your belly/body after having the babies.  It's just never the same.  Do you know that when looking at my belly which is not a pretty site there is one side of my belly that is a different shape than the other side.  Oh my...and people think it's wrong to get plastic surgery...trust me ladies...when you were blown up like a helium balloon while pregnant and now you are a helium balloon that has the air let out of it...but not all the way, you can see why we would seek a doctors help.  Don't make me post pictures!!!  LOL

Controlling...I just am.  I try not to be, but then I am trying to control not controlling.  It really is a losing battle...how does someone who is controlling stop...without controlling how they are stopping?  What to do, what to do?

*

Party planning...I am a HUGE party planner.  My girls' birthday is April 29th and I start planning it on January 1st.  This year we are doing a Luau!  Any ideas for a 7 yr old birthday Luau?

Get random...get crazy..let your hair down...just do it...you'll love it.  Hop on over to The Un Mom and get on down with your randomness.
