hCG Phase2 Day6

I have been on the hCG diet, pills not shots or drops. I bought hCG Activator at the Vitamin Store. Here is what I am using.



I started this diet 6 days ago with a 2 day gorge. The gorge was kinda fun, I had what I wanted when I wanted it. I lost weight even during those 2 days, it was minimal but still progress. Though the variety of food that is aloud what you can do with it is pretty vast. I am not left feeling hungry at all in fact I can hardly finish my meals which consist of 100grams of protein and 100grams of veggie. You can have fruit for a snack twice a day.
By day 2 of the actual dieting phase I had a massive headache that lasted about a day and a half, but I just figured it was because I quit drinking 6 cans of caffeinated soda a day. Once that was all cleared up all is good; no more headaches. No bad side affects at all actually, just the weight falling off.
As of today, day 6, I have lost a total of 8.60 pounds. As I said I am not hungry feeling and do not desire to munch. For dinner tonight I had a lemon garlic shrimp salad.


Tiffany’s Lemon Garlic Shrimp Salad

100grams of shrimp, peeled and deveined
½ teaspoon garlic minced
8ish tablespoons lemon juice
1 cup lettuce
*Use no butter or oil* cook garlic for 2 mins in a skillet
Add shrimp
4 tablespoons lemon juice
Sautee until, shrimp is cooked
Add 4 more tablespoons lemon juice
Let reduce a few minutes
Pour over 1 cup lettuce
Enjoy!

I am excited about the weight loss as well as motivated. Seeing it come off like that makes it so much easier to stick to the diet and not want to down an entire chocolate cake!!!! More updates to come.

Looking into new Diet ~ hCG

One of my best friends was telling me today about a diet that she has started and wanted me to get in on it with her, since it is always easier and more fun to diet with a friend. So I spent the day looking into this diet, and I have to say that I am kind of excited; lord knows that I have tried a million different diets over the years and never was able to get over losing more than 10 pds at a time.

What happens?
You take 2 pills in the morning and 2 pills in-between lunch and dinner, while maintaining a 500 calorie diet, from a specific list of allowable food. hCG stands for Human Choriogonadotropin, “the hormone that is produced by pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy.” Some more technical jargon goes here, but since I have been reading this shit all day my eyes have glazed over. Basically what it does is take the bad fats in your body and eats it. I know there is more to it than that but that is the jist. Many people feel that the 500 calories could be very dangerous, and where I do agree it is a risk I am willing to take, though I do plan to take a Women’s one a day as well as some B12.

Allowable Foods include:
Chicken
Apples
Coffee, tea, and water, no sugar, all day all you want
Lean Ground Beef
Cube Steak
Veal
Cod and other fish
Crab
Shrimp
Asparagus
Broccoli
Lettuce – all varieties
Raw Spinach
Grissini Bread Stick or Melba toast
There is more to the list this is just a short version.

Example of a Day:
Breakfast:
Coffee or Tea and 6 strawberries
Lunch:
Grilled Tilapia and asparagus
Snack:
Medium Apple and Melba Toast
Dinner:
Grilled Steak and Spinach
Orange and Bread Stick

I have read the reviews of this product, hCG activator, which can be bought at places like GNC all day. Pursuing forums till my eyes bleed, there were a few people that said that they lost nothing, but I suspect that they did not follow the diet, because the raves outweighed these negatives by like 100 to 1.
I look forward to giving it a try and bringing my Sexy back!!! Will update you as I go!! Lord knows the menu looks boring, but I could do with more fruit and veggies in my diet!

Apologies

I know I have not been around a lot lately, and that is because I have had a lot going on, but I am in the process of trying to line up some exciting stuff for you all. This diet that I am on is taking a lot of time out of my life, I am already pretty busy, and usually spent 1.5-2 hours a day blogging, but now my workouts are everyday and 1.5-2 hours long. So I am currently trying to restructure my day to give me my blogging time that I so long for. Bear with me and wait and see the awesome things to come. I hope that everything falls into place soon.

I have lost a total of 13 pounds already, and am feeling great! I think I can do it!

Losing it Weight or Sanity

Ok I have been on a diet for a week and 3 days now! I am doing really well, but I have to tell you, I am dying for something really yummie to eat! McDonald's French Fries are calling my name, oh the sweet nector of Salty Greasy Fries! I have been working out everyday, doing the P90X workouts. That Horton guy is INSANE! I am not so bad at the strength training, but the cardio workouts are killers, I think I am dying before the stretch is even finished! Its NUTS! And yoga, OMG I love yoga mostly, but the P90X yoga is a killer, even with the modifications, I am in agony! I have been living on Special K and chicken breast, my stomach feels like my throat has been cut!
Anyway, back to this P90X insanity, my body has been in pain glorious pain, since day one! I am not exaggerating in the least when I say that I am sweating like a pig and shaking by the end of the warm up. These workouts are 7 days a week, working a new part each day, and they are totally INTENSE!

The Good news is I lost 6 pounds!

The results are driving me forward, and I am hoping that I can look fab for summer! I am so tired of being over weight and out of shape!

New Year's Resoulution and New Year's Day Confessions

I have been very heavy for 4 years, since my youngest was born. I have tried many times to lose the weight and with no effect. My New Years Resolution this year is to lose the weight and get fit and healthy. My fitness level is horrible, I cant even check the mail with out being completely winded by the time I get back to the house. I new it was bad, and I avoid mirrors and scales at all costs. Its sad. I actually covered the mirror in my bedroom and cover the mirror in the bathroom whenever I am in there.
I pains me to tell you all this but I feel that it must be said and gotten out there, and what better people than my mommy blogger friends. I went to Walmart on the 1st and bought a scale, so that I could see where I was starting at. Hubby is on the diet with me, so we both went into the bathroom and stripped down to get our starting weight. Hubby hopped on the scale without any issue, he knows hes fat and he embraces it. He is only on the diet cause of his heath, it does not bother him to be over weight.
Anyway on with my confession, when it came time for me to get on the scale, I had a complete nervous breakdown, I mean I was crying and shaking and freaking out. I could hardly breath! My husband is a very supportive man and was trying to calm me down and tell me it was ok. Eventually he decided that I needed to be alone with the scale and my fears, so he left me alone int he bathroom with the scale. OH my GOD!!! I saw that scale like it was in a horror movie, my bathroom is not very big but what I saw was a long scary hall with the scale at the end of it. I continued to cry and hyperventilate over getting on this scale, but I really wanted to know where I was starting at! It took me about 30 minutes it get on the scale, and when I did it was horrifying! The scale read 213!!! OMG that is the heaviest I have ever been, I wasn't even that heavy when I was 9 months pregnant!!!
I have started with the Special K challenge and am really enjoying the cereals and bars and I like that I can eat my usual meal for dinner, just smaller portions. I have also gotten the P90X workout system and will be starting that tomorrow, as I wanted to give my body a few days to adjust to the food intake change before I thru it into a workout routine like P90X.  I will be posting alot all thru this and hope that you will follow along with me.

Losing Weight

I have gained a lot of weight over the last 4 years since my little one was born. I am currently 5 foot 5 inches and weigh 200 pds. That is just nasty, I feel nasty to. So both DH and I have gone on a diet he needs to lose 60 pds and I aim to lose atleast 55 pds. My biggest problem is going to be watching what I eat, I am a picker. I cook and I pick, that is the worst i know. If the kids dont finish it, I eat it. You know the drill. I am also hoping to go for a walk everyday now that it is nice out. So we shall see. Gotta run bust day today trying to get everything in order back at the camper. I miss the hotel already and just wish the damn house was done already. this is getting rediclous.
If anyone knows of someone that hosts a weigh in wed please let me know, I havent seen one in atleast a year.
