so far so good

With hcg alternative, got down to about 192. When i switched to low fat diet, i went up to 195 right away. Its sunday morning and ive weighed myself...back to 192. So ive lost 3 lbs this week with just diet and 2 sessions of my sauna suit. I should probably do one more session tonight. As for right now, my grandma and i are going to plant a fruit n veggie garden.

changing it up

So the hcg drops were giving me massive migranes and making me very moody. Guess it was from STARVING the whole time. Ive gone back to taking my size 0 and bp pills. Already starting to feel like myself. Im eating healthy still but more and n smaller portions.

Poor Stoley

My dog Stoley has had a bad skin problem ever since we moved back home. I'm not exactly sure what it is and I just hate putting frontline on her with her skin so bad. She literally scratches her skin until it bleeds. Her hair is falling out and I just don't know what to do. I wish I wasn't fixing to get laid off so that I could take her to the vet to see what the deal is. I just hate her suffering. I'm almost positive that its allergies but not really sure what to do about it. I was thinking about getting her hypoallergenic food, organic. But really, do the prices need to be that outrageous. A small bag for over $20! Geeze, I'd rather make her veggies and chicken myself. I did some research online for homeopathic ways to help with her skin problems. I found a small company from Austin, TX on ebay called Enchanted Waters. I ordered her a $7 bar of organic soap that is supposed to help with the fleas and hopefully calm her skin. I've also been using Aveeno oatmeal soak. Instead of making a bath, I add a small amount of water to make it into a paste, lather it on her skin and wrap her up in a blanket. I leave it on for about 10 minutes and then rinse. That is helping with the itching. I also got her the oatmeal body wash.

hcg diet day 4

Shit. So this diet has been screwing me up. Ive been dizzy, light headed. And had massive headaches all week. Not to mention stomach pains. I got so sick of it yesterday that i was like fuck it. I cant take the hunger any more so i ate 2 pieces of pizza for dinner and share a bag of popcorn w my lil cousin later n the evening. Oh and i had 2 mini pickles w my popcorn. in turn, all of this gave me the runs. I weighed myself this morning for the hell of it! And i am 192.4, down a little over 5 lbs. I think the 500 cals is a little too extereme. I do want to work out and there is no way n hell that i could if i did 500 cals. I think im going to experiment this week. With the drops and more food comined w workout. I want to add snacks in between meals such as an apple or veggie. Cuz i do not think that starving myself is helping. I might add in some beef jerky too and jus try to still stay away from oils and sugars but .not starve myself. Needless to say from thursday to today, in 3 days, ive lost a little over 5 lbs. I hope that tweeking this diet will still help me to continue n my weightloss. Oh its mothers day and my moms outta town. I have my little cousin and have no idea when his dad is picking him up. Guess ill cook this freek breakfast.

Day 2 so far...

Lost 3 lbs? Yea buddy! Not as hungry today. I think Mike wants to start the diet with me but he's taking aderol? so I'm not sure how that will react with meds. I dont want him all cracked out. Supposed to be going to the movies tonight to watch THOR. I will eat a pickle, while watching and listening to people eat buttered popcorn and nachos. MMMmmm

OMG 1st day of Phase 2

Its my first day of phase 2 and I have a massive head ache. I'm drinking some black coffee (UGH) to try and get rid of it but I'll have to see how it goes. I think I need to get some sleeping meds b/c I'm having a hard time falling asleep. I was feeling really hungry this morning, not so much this afternoon. I just saw a couple posts on "new" diet protocols. Which includes a 800 calorie instead of 500. I think I will stick to the original plan. I am hoping to see some results tomorrow because I am getting hungry again!

Breakfast: Black tea, peach flavor
Lunch: Chicken Breast, Spinach w/ a drab of strawberry vinaigrette dressing

Strawberry Vinaigrette Dressing
Ingredients
6 Strawberries
1 T. apple cider vinegar
1 T. lemon juice
Dash of salt
black pepper

I used true lemon packets instead of actual lemon juice and nu salt which is a salt alternative. I added a lot more than 1 t of apple cider. It made enough for a couple of days??

Snack: Apple slices

Starting a new diet and other things

Well its been a while since i've been on here. I've taken a small break from knitting since winter is over! I picked back up on sewing and crafting. I've made a couple of flower clips for spring. Posted them on etsy but not much sold...Damn the luck. I started a new diet yesterday called the HCG diet. I got these drops from Amazon which had a decent rating.

http://www.amazon.com/TGL-Nutrition-Homeopathic-Diet-Drops/dp/B004QTT29Q/ref=sr_1_2?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1304531365&sr=1-2

4 star rating...Also joined a forum to get in depth info.
http://hcgdietinfo.com/hcgdietforums/forum.php

Of course I didn't realize it wasn't just a diet, specific food and drops. NO NO NO, it's alot more. WTF? Really? UGH. I guess I'm going to stick with it and see what happens. OH and no alcohol, no beer either. FML. We'll see how that goes because I'm used to drinking every weekend. BUT weight loss is more important for me right now. It also calls for no oil or alcohol in any personal products that you use. I already use mineral make up but no mascara?? I ordered some mineral mascara.

The drops I got have alcohol in them. I read several things AFTER I got my drops in. A couple of sites said that anything with alcohol is fake. Which there are 22 reviews on amazon of the product working. I've also read that homeopathic drops are a fluke but again, 18 positive reviews on amazon.

I picked up some b12 drops from HEB for like $5. Right now I'm on day 2 of the loading stage of the diet. I can't wait to be off. Rarely do I eat alot so it's been really hard. The more I eat the more tired I get. SO red bull has been a help. Not really sure what I'll do once I cant drink those anymore. Usual weight loss is .5 to 2 lbs a day. Once off the stage 2 of the diet, you have a no carb or starch diet for a couple of weeks. I plan on going back to my Size 0 pills during that stage. I think I will take my BP pills while one stage 2 of the low calorie diet since apparently its hard for people to poo and if you've take BP, you know the poo flows freely.

http://www.tonic-life-products.com/

I get the Size 0 and BP from a women in town that sells them. The website seems more steep. My dealer (LOL) sells Size 0 for $30 and BP for $20. She said that a month on the pills, you will not see results until your body gets totally cleansed. But I lost I think, 5 or 6 lbs in my first month and then stopped the pills because I got really sick. Never got back into them after I felt better. I'm looking for a more rapid weight loss and using the pills to keep it up.

I also got a sauna suit! lmfao! It looks crazy but I think it'll aid in my overall loss along with sea clay wrap.
http://www.privatesauna.com/

It's no longer sold on that site but you can get in on ebay for $39.99. I got the sea clay off ebay a while back and I can't find the seller online anymore. The clay works really well. Just haven't used it in a while because it gets really messy. Its better to do in the garage where the clean up is easy. Unles you want to sit in the tub for 30 minutes. I plan on posting my progress on this whole diet journey. I have 3 weddings to attend in the fall. I am a brides maid in one of them. AND I also have my 10 year class reunion. I've gained about 60 lbs since high school and I hope to have at least 20 to 30 lost by october.

I am at 197 and I want to be at around 140, I would really like to be less but i'm trying to be realistic! FUR REALS. A couple of years ago I got down to somewhere in the 170s and back into a size 12. I'd really like to get back into those size 12s again...I bought a LaRoq skirt I'd like to wear because I could barely get into it when I bought it. Thinking it would give me motivation to loose a little more weight. OH WELL.

Tomorrow I start phase 2 of the diet. 500 calories...Hopefully I will be able to stay wake all day!
