How Far I've Come

It's hard for me to believe that I'm down to the weight I was when I joined the USAF and met my husband. I was 18, nearly 1/2 my life ago - WOW!! I'm about half way through my second round of the hcg diet and I LOVE the new me. It's amazing that I was able to make this lifestyle change and it's only been since mid-February, just 3-1/2 months. Can't wait to see where I am by the end of the summer.

OMG... I'm In My Goal Jeans!!!

I'm in my size 6 Lucky Brand Jeans!!! I bought them 1 month before I found out I was pregnant with Sean (he's 6 now). Those people who KNOW me, know that I don't spend (at the time) $80 on a pair of jeans. I allowed myself that splurge and maybe wore them half a dozen times before my little baby bump prevented me from doing so any longer. 25# down over the last 40-something days and I CAN GET INTO THEM - comfortably!!! I have another 10-15 I want to lose, but I'm already thrilled.

Post HCG...

Okay I lost 24.something when I took my last dose of HCG Tuesday morning. I'm actually down an additional 2lbs since then, and it looks like I'm still losing - YEAH!!! Since phase 3 requires eating no carbs or sugar and I planned on doing the Eat Right 4 Your Type eating lifestyle it meshes with my O type. Apparently all these years my body isn't a fan of carbs (other than rice and oats) or dairy.

In celebration of feeling attractive again, I got a manicure and pedicure. Nothing girly... I love my black nail polish!!! Thursday I get my hair done. Can't wait for Anthony to do something funky with my hair!!!

HCG Progress

Okay I've been horrible about writing, but hey life is crazy that way... so I have 8 days left of taking the hcg supplement, then 3 additional days after that before I go to phase 2 of the diet. So where do I stand right now? I've lost 20.6#. I should lose about another 7-10 over the next 11 days. I'm in LA right now and my clothes are falling off. When I get back home it's time to move down to the next size in all of my skinny clothes. I'm 5# away from my pre-pregnancy weight (that was 7 years ago - YIKES!!!)

HCG Food I Get To Eat!!!!

Okay... so here's a run down on what I've been eating. Keep in mind I'm doing 42 days and eliminating the foods that aren't for Opos blood type:

Meats (3.5oz) - Beef (extra lean), Buffalo, Veal, Chicken Breast (boneless/skinless), Wild Chilean Sea Bass, Wild Flounder, Wild Sole, Wild Halibut

Vegetables (2 cups NO MIXING) - Lettuce (any kind), Spinach, Asparagus, Tomotoes

Fruits - Apple (medium), Grapefruit (1/2 of a med), Strawberries (handful)

Grain - Grissini Breadstick (1), Melba Toast (2 small round or 1 rectangular)

I eat 1 from each group twice a day. Walden Farms has a line of sauces, dressings, and dips that are okay in small quantities.

I know this doesn't look like alot, but once I got through the first two days of carb/chocolate withdrawl, I was good.

Fuzzy Bunny Getting Fit

Okay... this blog was supposed to be my online journal for crazy. Really got distracted over the last year with ALOT of "stuff". So I decided to start today. Why? Well, I decided to do this hcg diet thing. Kind of tired of being a little fluffy (LOL, get it? Bunny, fluffy. Seriously - not as funny if I have to explain it to you)

Anyway, so I'm going on day 12. How has it been? Well I'm down 10lbs. Before we go any further I need to lose about 30-40, so don't get this idea that I'm the size of a house. However, lets be honest, I could stand to get in better shape. So... I was 10.8lbs down, but for some ungodly reason I gained back .8 - no bueno. Hopefully I just have too much hcg and cutting back this evening and tomorrow will get me back on track. God I hope so, because this morning when it went up again I was like WTF!!!

Well I'll check in tomorrow (or sooner if the voices feel like they have something to say LOL)
