It's Tuesday

Is it weird that I am writing a blog that like 3 people read????? I was just wondering.

So it's Tuesday. I hate Tuesdays, they are almost more difficult than Mondays. Anyways, it is Tuesday April 26th. Time has flown since I did my first cycle of hcg. Those of you who are reading this probably already heard the story but I am going to document it on my blog.

I started the hcg at the tail end of March. I was on the diet for a little over 2 weeks. I lost 11 pounds. It was an amzing 11 pounds too! I bought some clothes at work that didn't fit, knowing I was losing pounds a day, and they fit 3 days later! It was the coolest!

Unfortunately hcg is a very strict diet in the sense that you can't over eat OR under eat or you'll get gain weight or become really ill. I started the diet while I was on spring break so it was SUPER easy to eat at home and at work. I could take cooked chicken to work and stash it in the fridge for a lunch or dinner. However, once school started, I did not have the room to carry around a bulky lunch box with an ice pack and silverware, and try to hunt down a microwave everday. I started not eating the right ratio of protein, fruit, and vegtables. I started to feel weak and dizzy. This is not good, and most definitately not healthy. My weight was also very crazy. I would gain 1 pounds, lose 1.5 pounds, and then lose no weight. It was up and down and up and down.

I decided to stop the diet. After you stop the diet you are supposed to eat a diet of the same foods but a daily calorie count of 1200. It didn't happen. I have gained about half the weight back, and I know this is my own fault. But my husband and I have talked and we are restarting the diet on May 5th. This time we are doing the whole diet together, making our lives much easier. May 6th is the last day of instruction at school and I only have a final Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoon. SO! We are going to try again!!

I found a ton of great recipes that I can use now instead of eating the same thing every day. I am also thinking about increasing my daily calorie count and do mild workouts while doing this new round. However, if I do that I will HAVE to work out. I can't say, "Oh I'll go..." and then fall asleep, or read a book, or blow it off for shopping. So I am on the fence about this. What do you guys think??

I also need to be more religious about this blog. It's not going to help me if I don't keep it updated more often. I don't want it to become another way I lie to myself and I don't want to give up. I guess all I can do is try, and hope that people read.
