H.C.G.

So I started the H.C.G. diet with 2 of my friends from work. It's approximately 30 days long and today is my 5th day. It's worked pretty well considering the first 3 days we were instructed to consume as much fatty foods as possible. hahaha I've lost 5lbs. I'm going off my weight from before the 3 gorge days. A guy from our work did it and has lost 42lbs. I know guys loose weight differently then girls but we're pretty excited. We get teased a lot during our lunch break b/c we're only allotted 500 calories a day. Our 3 ounces of chicken and celery and grapefruit apparently dont look too appetizing to everyone else. and we have to take a shot in the leg of H.C.G. It's a lot easier to do it with friends then on my own. I thought I'd blog about it instead of keeping it to myself so that I can be held accountable if I cheat or quit which I almost did today when Jr. and the boys were having pizza for dinner :-(

Since Jr. and I first started dating I have gained over 70 pounds. He thinks I looked like a 12 year old when I was that weight so my goal is to loose 45 to 50 pounds. After the 30 days of H.C.G. we are supposed to transtion into a high protein diet and then eventually we can eat normally in moderation with diet and excercise and should be able to maintain the weight we've lost. I'm hoping to loose 25-30 pounds on the H.C.G. then when it's up, kick off the rest with exercise. Of course this is my whole year goal but I'm hoping this diet will jump start me. My other goal is to run the 5k on 4th of July. I ran it 2 years ago (well you can say I walked it) but I really want to improve my time this year and just my overall health. That's my # 1 goal this year. I feel like I've gone too long with out doing something. It's time to get moving!!

Kristina and Kayla motivate me so much, I love these girls. Wish me luck because I'm going to need it!!! Oh and a side note, co-ed softball starts in April! We've been playing the last 2 seasons with our friends and family. It has been so dang fun. Cant wait. Another great reason to get in shape now.
