Day 1 phase 2

Today is my first day of the low calorie diet. I thought it would be so much harder to do than it is. I dont normally eat breakfast so that part was easy :) I took in about a half a gallon of water today. I am not normally a water drinker. I hope in the morning when I weigh myself I will see the results like they say I should. For lunch I had grilled chicken and asparagus it was delish. I think I will post a new approved recipe once a day as well as an update.

I have decided to make today the day!!! Why wait?? Today is the first of two "loading" days. I am supposed to do the drops three times a day without anything to eat or drink 15 min. before or after.


I did the first set of drops when I got up this morning. It recommends to put them under your tongue and do so in front of a mirror to make sure you got the proper number. I expected them to have a gross flavor. I was pleasantly surprised that there was NO flavor to them. Then I wasn't sure what was supposed to happen to them once you put them under your tongue, but they just disappeared!  So, so far so good!!

Today on the menu I am thinking French Toast for breakfast and pizza for lunch and not sure about dinner.  I really want to get my favorites in before I cant eat them any more for a long time LOL.

It Came, It Came!!!!

So I went out to check the mail and to my surprise it came! I am so excited to finally get started. I think I will start this weekend. The first two days are loading days where I eat as many calories and fat as possible. I know...lucky right? Well we shall see!!! I will post when I start. 

This is the part I dread!!!

So here we go.....I am still waiting on my order to get here, but from the tracking info I have it should be here by Friday (tomorrow). Today I am going to post my current weight, inches and pics.

I am 5'1
Current weight : 156lbs : ( (YUCK)
 Current waist inches: 40 (again YUCK)
For those that know me I have never struggled with my weight til I started having a thyroid issue. After my first son was born I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. Basically my thyroid is under active and my metabolism doesn't work.  I have tried every diet out there.  I have tried going to the gym.  I went faithfully 3-5 days a week for an hour for almost a yar and got a whopping 0 results (thanks to my lovely thyroid).  So when I came upon the HcG diet I thought I would give it a try because it is supposed to shock your metabolism back into shape. So here is to hoping it works. Thanks for following me on my journey.

Waiting for my order

Yesterday I made the leap into the HcG world.  I purchased my first bottle of the natural remedy used for weight loss and improving your metabolism. I purchased it from www.hcgcompany.com it is shipping from California and should be here this week!!!

Today I searched for some recipes and looked up what I could and couldn't eat.  I went and purchased enough meat for the first 20 days!!! I didn't realize that is how much I bought til I got it home and weighed out the portions.

I will be posting pictures along the way. Stay Tuned!!!
