Starting 7 weeks

Okay...so I made it through Christmas..well kinda! Okay so I cheated a little! okay a lot..But you know what I'm okay with it! I have been so good and strict with myself for 6 weeks! I wanted to enjoy a meal!!!! So I might have gone a little overboard, but I'm taking a break from HCG and doing a detox right now, so I guess that took away some of the guilt..So whats on the menu, you ask..VEGGIES! All week long! No meat! This makes me real sad! But I've kinda hit a platue with the weight loss and need to detoxify my body then I will start next week with my second cycle of HCG. But I lost another 2.5 inches and I'm at the same weight! Not bad for eating like fat cow this past weekend!! Later folks! Wish me luck with this detox!

6 weeks in 12/21

So I've made it 6 weeks..wow that went pretty quick..I wish I could say that I did it without incident..but then I would be lying! I CHEATED on Saturday and Sunday..I know I know! But I didn't gain any weight! So I've lost 33lbs and 28.5 inches..so I say not bad my friend. I'm going to do a detox next week and then start my second cycle with HCG! So..let's see how this detox goes! Until then folks

5 weeks in 12/14

So it's been 5 weeks!! I've made it..there were times that I thought that I wasn't going to make it..just think..giving up your best friend that has been there for you for so long! It was the worst break up I've ever been through..BUT I MADE IT! And man it has gotten so easy..I like the way I feel now..I can't imagine going back to the way I ate before, it's discusting!! So I've lost a total of 24inches and 28lbs..a lot more to go! But man I'm well on my way! If I can do this..anybody can! I'm a true believer of the HCG diet! Seriously guys..it's worth it! My relationship has improved ten fold..I'm happy!

Tuesday 12/8

So it's now week four since I've started the HCG diet..I've had my ups and downs..like when my friend (also on the diet) came in and said He had pizza and Jack in the Box and has still lost more weight, fat and inches then I have!! But..he's a guy what can you do. So I'm just gonna stay motivated and NOT CHEAT..and it will eventually fall off faster. I've lost 26lbs so far so I don't have that much to complain about..So I will check back in tomorrow and let you know if I'm feeling any better about ME..

Thursday 12/3

Sorry I was gone for a couple of days..well I'm back..I know..just breath..So what I've decided to do now is just weigh in once a week along with my measurements..that way, I don't discourage myself..cause you don't always drop weight everyday! Besides I'm working out more..so I'm trying not to look at weight loss, but fat and inches..so I'm learning that I need to stop worrying about this weight loss and focus on just living a healthy lifestyle..I've always been a little stressed out on things that I can't control 100%. So I guess I've learned a little bit more. This change of lifestyle is not only physical but mental. I'm excited to see what happens in a few months..maybe I'll write a book! lol probably not..but it's a thought! Till tomorrow my friends!!

Monday 11/30 Week 3

So I weighed in today..I've lost a total of 20lbs in 3 weeks..It's been rough..I was sick last week so it hindered my weightloss a little therefore I haven't dropped any weight since Friday..This week will be better for sure. I plan on losing 10lbs this week so...let's see! Later dudes!

Friday 11/27

I MADE it through Thanksgiving!!! I'm so proud of myself!!! At one point I thought that I may cheat, but then I realized that the only person I'm cheating is myself..I want to lose this weight! I want to be healthy..So instead of Turkey and stuffing etc. I had a nice piece of Halibut and really good salad..You know what I was okay..I didn't even feel sorry for myself(until the pies were served) kinda sad about that..aint gonna lie. But I weighed myself this morning and I lost 2lbs!! So I'm down 20lbs! So to sum it all up, I'm really happy!! Till next time folks!!

Monday 11/23

Well it's been 2 weeks on the diet...I've lost 16lbs and 10.5 inches off my body so happy day!! Check back tomorrow!

Friday 11/20

YAY me! I've lost another pound! So I'm at 15lbs down!! I'm just looking forward to seeing the results now..some of my friends have noticed..so that's good! The dreaded weekend! I made it last weekend I can do it this weekend!

Thursday

Well I haven't lost any weight today...but my fat % has gone down as well as my inches. So I decided that I'm not gonna focus on the weight loss but fat loss. Besides I started working out everyday, so as everyone knows muscle weighs more then fat! So positive thoughts people! Oh, I've also set a goal for myself..I am going to run (or walk) a half marathon next year with my sister!! So hold me to it!

So I'm bummed today..I gained a pound back! So there is something I'm doing wrong...I will make sure that I get back on track..Let you know tomorrow.

Tuesday 11/17

So today I lost another 2lbs!! I'm so excited right now..Still struggling a little with making sure I go to the gym and eat. So it's only been a week so it will get easier I'm sure. I'm happy and excited about my new healthy lifestyle. Thank you GOD for giving me this oppertunity to better myself..Until tomorrow folks!

Week 1 on HCG

Monday 11/9) Today was rough!! My first day on the HCG diet. My worst fear had come true! NO MORE YUMMY FOOD!! I felt very emotional..I thought I was going to bust out crying at any moment. I had such high anxiety, about the loss of my best friend, my confidant, my happiness! I thought at that moment I was going to starve for the rest of my life..just so I can be thin! I was hungry, tired and emotional...but hey this is for the greater good. To be healthy once again!

Tuesday (11/10) So it was just a tinsy winsy bit better I lost 3lbs, so of course that makes me feel a lot better!! But I was still hungry and a little depressed! I keep randomly thinking about food!! I swear I could smell a peanut butter and jelly sand which from across the street. But it has gotten a little bit better.

Wednesday (11/11) Lost 2 more pounds..MARIA'S BACK!! I'm feeling more like myself! I'm in a better mood! Found out I wasn't starving, just craving! I just created the greatest meal ever..doesn't seem like I'm suffering that bad anymore......except when I pass by Krispie Creme on my way home and I can smell it in my car!! OHHHHH the torture!

Thursday (11/12) Lost 2lbs!! Okay so I'm in heaven right now! The meals aren't bad! I now believe that those Top Chef contestants have nothing on me!!! I made the most delicious herb halibut! Yummy! I'm no longer starving! Night time is a little hard still....I miss my bowl of ice cream!! But green tea ain't bad!

Friday (11/13) Wow I made it through the week!! Now comes the biggest test!! The WEEKEND! No alcohol no restaurants! Not eating because I'm bored..Friday so far so good!

Saturday (11/14) I kept myself busy today! Worked for a few hours, worked out in the gym for an hour with my mom. Really didn't think about the things I couldn't have! I'm really excited to make cabbage rolls!

Sunday (11/15) The biggest test of them all!! Sunday family dinner! I made cabbage rolls for my family, so they got a chance to eat like me for a day! It was super tasty! Mom has decided to jump on the ban wagon! She is gonna start HCG on the 1st of December! Yay! Oh I tried on a pair of jean that have been hanging out there since 2007, and they fit! I'm freaking ecstatic!

Today (11/16) I feel amazing, no aches and pains waking up this morning! I've lost 12lbs! I know I can't believe it myself!! I've stuck with it..no cheating! I'm looking forward to working out tonight (unbelievable) I'm excited about this new healthy Maria...just waiting now to see the changes in my body..I feel it!
