Finally

It's been over a month! Crazy. And amazingly I've lost 50 pounds!!!!

......

Just kidding!!

It's pretty obvious I fell off the band wagon...again, but at least I am admitting it. I am finally being honest with myself about my weight, my goals, and my life. I am tired of hiding behind the lies I tell myself.  I had a really great conversation with a co worker and I am ready to do this! I am ready to be healthy and keep track of my life. This last week I downloaded this great app on my phone called My Fitness Pal. It shows me how much calories I should eat everyday and it makes it SUPER easy to track what I am eating right down the to grams of sugar, carbs, fats, and salt! It's awesome! Buttt I am starting my "extreme" diet this week!

Yesterday I started the HCG diet. Yesterday and today I get to eat whatever I want. The hubby knows that I crave sweets ALOT, so he bought me a ton of sweets, and I think I might puke.  I have eaten SO much candy and junk in just 1 day. I never want to eat it again...ok well for now.

After today I am on a strict diet. For lunch and dinner I will eat 2 cups of veggies and 4oz of low fat meat. For breakfast and snacks I can have 1 serving of fruit and I can drink lots and lots of black coffee and water.

This is an extreme diet and is not meant for a lot of people. I have been doing research and this diet can be very dangerous if not taken appropriately or with other medications. This one gal at my work said she had a woman come into her other job as a nurse with renal failure because of this diet! Lucky for me I am not pregnant and have no preexisiting conditions or medications. Though I did learn that if I were to concieve while on this diet I would probably have twins, triplets, or quints! NUTS! Definately no love this month!

After 21 days of the strict diet I get to start adding in moderate amounts of the foods I like. Hubby has been on this diet and it has worked well for him. After I can start eating what I like (in MODERATION is the key word), I can start my workout routine to keep off the weight and lose more!

I am really excited to tone up after I lose a few lbs these next few weeks.

My weight yesterday was 183 pounds! Yikes! I will try to update every day to see if it works. If this doesn't work, oh well, but at least I am going to try! I will NOT just quit because it's hard. I can do this! Here we go!
