It's Day 6!

Hello!

I am happy to report that I am now under the 180 lb threshold! I weighed in this morning at 179.8! That is a total of 7 pounds lost!!!
I'm not really feeling or seeing a huge difference in my body yet. But to see the scale going down is so encouraging!  I hope you all are seeing the scale go down as well!

My mom is going to be starting this diet soon. I'm so happy for her and pray she does really, really well! I also have a coworker who has just finished her load days and starts the "real" diet today! I also hope that she has a positive experience with this!

Please leave me some comments about what you are doing to stay active and healthy on these hot summer days! Remember, I hope we can all encourage and inspire one another!!

'Til next time...

Inspire!!

Hey! It's just me...


Since this blogs debut, I have had several ladies tell me that I may be motivating them to shed those unwanted pounds. I hope that I truly can give you the inspiration that you need.

It truly is a lifestyle change that must be made if we want to stay thin! A book that seriously changed my life is "Skinny Bitch" by Kim and Roxy ( I've forgotten their last names, but surely you've heard of this book?).

That book is an eye opener!! If you haven't read it head to the library or book store now! It's a fairly quick read and can explain everything you need to know. The basics.

I'm not telling you have to BELIEVE everything they say, heck, even they tell you that in the book- but I promise you they will give you the inspiration to research things for yourself!

But this post wasn't sponsored by them, nor is it any attempt to get you to buy the book. :0)

I just want you to be empowered to get healthy!! My goal after this jump-started weight loss is to begin eating nutritious, non-processed foods again regularly. To come up with better ideas of what to feed my family. Maybe even quit eating meat, or become a pescatarian.

Well that's my two cents for this afternoon. Share with me your goals in the comments! Let's inspire each other!!

The first day.

Greetings!

Where do I begin?

oh... I know-    I've recently decided to try the Hcg diet.  Many things factored into this decision. Probably the number one reason being my pants are too tight!  :0)  I hope to be brave enough soon give all the details of my past yo-yo dieting and weight loss, but right now I just want to give the details of the day.

So, as I mentioned I decided to try this (new to me) diet. As it turns out, I have two "load-days" before I start the Hcg. These two days I am supposed to basically force feed myself foods high in fat. Dairy, fried food, pizza, etc. I ate very unhealthy today, and still feel like I under performed! Ha!!

I had Cap'n Crunch Berries and 2% milk and a Caramel Frappe for breakfast. Then we enjoyed Cici's Pizza for lunch a few hours later.  Then I went by Braum's and bought 3 pints of chocolate almond ice cream and made myself a cone when I returned home. Why do I feel like I should have eaten more than that?  How many calories is that anyway?!?!?!?!   I suppose it doesn't matter too much, considering Monday I will be limited to 500 calories a day.

Honestly, what I am hoping to gain from this experience is to lose a few pounds and clear my body of the processed foods that I feel I eat way too many of! I will be sharing this experience with you as the days pass.
 I don't know how I feel about posting before and after pictures, But I will leave you today with a starting weight- as I will be weighing daily. I also hope this will help motivate me if I have you all watching!

Starting weight: 186 (I'm 5'9")

Have YOU had an experience with this diet? Please share in the comment section!

Thanks for reading!
