Diet diary part 2

Two posts in one day...I'm awesome...and getting a little lightheaded. Yes, it is my first day on the 500 cal diet and although I don't feel hungry at all I just started getting really lightheaded. The whole day has gone really good though no hunger really and the food was alright. For lunch and dinner I had 100g of chicken that I food processerized (yes processerized! I had 500 cal today give me a break!) and put some of that Weber grill mates season stuff in (which my little boy tells me makes his poop come out just so you know). I then wrapped it in romaine lettuce, yes I ate lettuce, you can all pick your jaws up off the floor now, I know it is quite shocking. I had a melba toast and a honeycrisp apple which I have to say is now my favorite food in the whole entire world! Have you tried those things? YUMMY!! Sprinkle some Truvia fake sugar and cinnamon on it and WOW!! Anyways day 3 down, 20 more to go.

Diet Diary

Today is the day! I started the hCG diet today, so hopefully 23 days from now I will be at or closer to my goal weight. I thought I would be a dork and blog it so that it would be a little more added pressure for me to do well and also, so that if there is anyone out there who is considering hCG they can decide whether to do it or not from my experience.

I got the hCG from a website that my sis in law ordered it from, I will get details if anyone wants it. It was a whopping $39.00. Don't ever get it from a clinic! I took my hCG to a friend who works at a clinic that does hCG and she said it was the exact same stuff. Granted with their program they help you every step of the way and give you recipies and a counselor to guide you through it so I'm sure it is just a little easier, but you can find all the info on the internet so for those of us who don't want to drop $1000 for it--this is definatly the way to go!

I mixed it all this morning which was pretty easy and injected it. (Which for those of you who know me well this is a major accomplishment for me!) It didn't hurt at all to put the needle in. It took awhile to work up the courage, but that was really the worst part--the anticipation. It stung a little bit going in but not bad at all! Today and tomorrow are going to be easy as they are my loading days. I need to eat as much as I can, staying away from sweets obviously, but I am supposed to eat all the greasy food I want. (Brookside fries anyone?) So that is it for now, I will post more on Wed. when the actual dreaded 500 calorie a day diet begins *gulp* wish me luck!

Grayson

How cute is he!! This little guy was the best sleeper ever, let us do pretty much what we wanted with him. Well, I take that back, I could not for the life of me get him to bend his legs. Both me and his mom were trying to get him all nice and posed so as to not show off certain parts and his little legs were just so strong, there was no way he was going to give. I think Cassie that this little guy is going to be walking early :)

Leighton

I can't get over how cute your kids are Jessica! Leighton was an angel (of course it wasn't me she pooped all over :) and Landon was so cute with my boys, he kept saying "come over here kid" to my nephew, so funny!
