Finally. . . I have completed my 40 days of HCG.
I am now able to do something different for 6 weeks before I do a second round. Some days were extremely difficult but I powered through them. My goal was 25 pounds and I am down TWENTY FOUR. So close. I think this next plan will be a peice of cake because I can have Yogurt, Cheese, Eggs, sliced Turkey, Tuna Fish, chocolate Protein Bars and even some low carb Salad Dressings - HEAVEN! It's a high protein plan, so lots of meat. I am a little concerned that I will gain some weight back. I think my mom lost 15 pounds in a month doing this plan so cross your fingers that I will be as lucky.
So, I went shopping on Friday and stepped into Buckle at the mall. . . only to find that my butt actually fit in their jeans and my boobs actually fit in their shirts. SHOCK! It was so nice for a change.
I'm proud of myself, but I've still got a long way to go.
It's slower than I thought it would be. The last nine days have been very difficult. Still sticking to it - and perfectly I might add (okay - I had a 1/2 cup of corn flakes yesterday). Doing another apple day today. This is a great way to lose about 1.5 lbs of water and catch up to where you should be with your weight loss. I would love to hit the 25 lb mark by next Thurday which will be 40 days, but that is nearly impossible.
About every other day I say I'm done and starting something else. And then I seem to get a second wind the next morning. Afterall, I only have a week left. I'm just taking it one day at a time. Noticing my clothes are feeling baggy but still nothing drastic in my appearance. I had to buy a new bra - of course, I would lose the 19 lbs off my boobs. Not suprising!
I still want this bad but miss going out to dinner with the family. That day will come soon enough. For now, I just need to focus. TTYS!
Bo sure gets a lot of compliments on his helmet from fellow shredders on the slopes. He's becoming quite the snowboarder so I guess he has to look the part.
It's "BAD" alright! 
Savannah had her first performance this year for the show MOVE - a production that is directed by Rick Robinson from Vibe, her dance studio.
It is amazing!
The show includes dancers that are professional and company team dancers from Vibe. Several famous faces joined the show; Mark Ballas, Chelsie Hightower, Thayne Jasperson. Derek Hough flew in from London and said that he was there for Rick Robinson who taught him everything he knew and who introduced him to dance. It was fun to watch and I can't wait to see more dances to come. I can't wait for Savannah to take lessons from him as she gets older.
I'm down 13.5 lbs in 16 days. I've hit a wall though that I can't seem to pass. The plan is much easier than I expected. The food is beginning to taste good to me and the cravings have completely gone away. Still miss my Diet Coke - that will never go away. I begin the last leg of my diet on Sunday. . .another 17 days. After that I start the traditional plan which will seem like Heaven. I can do it. We are headed to St. George the end of March and I am determined to be down at least 35-40 pounds. Stay Posted.
