Helllllooooo Again!
It's been about 2 weeks since my last post SO sorry! =-(
Let me catch you up on my EXCITING journey. I have learned a lot from this experience and all the research I have been doing. So first things first.....
The Diet:
I have not cheated! Yeah really pretty amazing huh? I have had days when I didn't drink enough water or took my drops incorrectly. For the ladies, I didn't know that it is beneficial to start the protocol just after your menstrual cycle ends. I began my menstrual cycle a week and a half into phase 1, day 11 to be exact. Well I can at least tell you what to expect should you find yourself in this same predicament. My cycle usually last 7 days. During that time I had 3 days in which I stalled, then on day 4, I gained 1 pound. On day 5 I released that pound and I didn't begin losing again until the day after my cycle ended. Up until that point I had lost 17 pounds. The day after my menstrual cycle ended was Day 18 and I released 1 lb, on Day 19 I releases 1 lb and then today Day 20 I released 2 MORE POUNDS!!!!! YAY!
This is a big day for me, I have lost 10% of my weight and I have hit my first goal of 20 pounds, 21 pounds to be exact. I'm very proud of myself and thankful for God's help in keeping me disciplined.
I still cook everyday for my family and for myself. THIS is one of my greatest challenges ESPECIALLY since I love food and I love to cook! I taste as I go and so it can be hard to put dinner out there when I'm not sure if I have seasoned it correctly. BUT I have used this time to bring my kids into the kitchen more than ever before. This not only keeps me accountable but it teaches them how to cook too!
I can honestly say that at this point I am kinda bored with cooking the same ingredients. Even though I have become very creative and really do enjoy most of what I prepare I am just bored with the same limited ingredients. I DO NOT MIX VEGETABLES AT ALL!!! I say that because many protocols out there allow mixing. They even allow salsa. I really want to finish well and without doubt that I have done everything to the best of my ability.
Another reason I want to stay true is that I have decided to open my own Homeopathic HCG website. I will offer mentoring, recipes, tips, and HCG! This whole opportunity just fell into my lap. I have begun selling bottles and it's flying off the shelves! I am my own walking billboard and so are my clients, sooooo wish me well! You can find me at www.HCGDirectConnection.com.
Having said that, you can all see why I have been so busy but I promise I will be blogging more steadily from now on!
See ya later,
Misty
