My New Journey

Let me just start out by saying I had all of this first post written out, but as I went to save and post the blog something happened with my computer and it was gone, just like that! Grrr!!!
What a great analogy that I think that was. Just like eating healthy and exercsing everyone still has those Grrr days! Our bodies are amazing!
So, why are you here? Let me start out by telling you why I am here. After having my son Brighton I was feeling good about myself, feeling alright in my body, and somehow the lbs started shedding off because I was nursing Brighton. It was awesome! I did not love the fact that we had a rough go when we first started breastfeeding Brighton because he was tongue tied, and so that caused some major soreness on my end of things. From day one, I was struggling with breastfeeding. As Brighton grew my milk supply was lowering. He would drain me in about five minutes. When Brighton was six months old, I stopped nursing him, but continued to eat the way I had while I was nursing. Hence the reason the new lifesyle that I needed to start immediately.
I decided to go on HCG I know that this is a major conterversy issue for some. I had tried HCG previously about two years ago, and had success. So when I decided to do it again. Now, this is my personal opinion, you can have different opinions, or issues about this weight loss aide, but for me, it works. We are all entitled to our own choices, right?
On October 4th 2010, I started HCG the best part about the diet LOADING!!!! For three days straight, I ate, ate, and ate. It rocked! Then the hard part came but I made it through, and here I am today. I took my last dose of HCG on Tuesday October 26th around 11 am. For the next two days I would do the Low Calorie Diet without the HCG. Easy Peasy!! The next phase of the diet is no sugar and no startch. I could of easily continued doing this but I decided before starting the hcg that I was going to continue the next phase of my "lifestyle" by myself. I would do it without the aide of anything. I would do it myself. Friday I was successful and didn't eat much. Saturday and Sunday were a different story. I indulged BIG TIME! It felt good. I like food, what can I say??
So, here I am starting today to start that lifestlye that I have wanted for years now. This journey is going to be good. It is going to be fun, theraputic, and hard. But, I know I can do hard things. We all can do hard things!! Just Remember that and you'll be fine in life :)
I will try and post at the end of the nights. That way I can journal what I eat, what exercise I did that, and other random things you may want to know about my very interesting life ;)
11/01/2010-Started the morning out with a big yummy bowl of cantaloupe. It was delicious I seriously love that fruit. I was preoccupied during the day with Brighton, cleaning our messy house, and grocery shopping for healthier items. By the time I got done with all of those chores. I decided I wanted a big salad. Unfortunately I knew it was too close to dinner time so I couldn't have a salad so I settled for a few Nalley Pickles. Yummy! For dinner I quickly made some store bought stir fry, and cooked up some brown rice and just like that, dinner was made. We had some left over pineapple so we enjoyed that with our stir fry.
Brighton has gone down for the night, so tonight marks the first night Ben and I will be attempting to workout together. Tonight we will do Tae-bo amped. My husband might not like me much anymore after I do this workout because I will sweat like a pig  ;)
Have a great night!
