I have found that blogging is sort of therapetic in a way. It helps me write things that I think of, want to do, am doing and so on. It is also alot better than having a thousand journals laying around writing something I met regret and hiding them in various places so they wont get read! Don't like that. I started this new blog today for a couple of reasons. One, is I want to loose weight. I have been about 100 pounds overweight for the last 2 years. I have tried everything that there is out there! Weight Watchers, South Beach Diet, Calorie Counting. Granted these did work at first and I gave up because the weight wasn't coming off fast enough for me and I would get discouraged and quit! It seems that in many things that I do I quit if I get discouraged or its not working and I am not getting the results that I want or need. I am going to change that!! Not only is this blog going to be about getting fit and loosing weight but it is goin to be about changing my life as a whole and finding myself. I know who I am, Im a wife of a pipeline welder, I am overweight. I want to finish college...there's a lot of things I want myself to be...but is that really who I am? I am starting the oral HCG plan on Saturday March 12, 2011! I am starting it then so that I have Saturday and Sunday as my "load" days to eat all and anything I want, then starting my very low calorie diet on Monday. I seem to do better with things when I start it with the start of the week! I plan on following Phase I until April 12, 2011; that will be 30 days. Then I move into Phase II of Round 1. Phase II is where I up my caloric intake to 1,500-2,000 calories a day for 3 weeks. I double my protein, eat any vegetables, reintroduce dairy products, 2 fruit servings a day. No pasta, bread, sugar. I still weigh myself daily along with measuring.
Knowing that I will not meet my goal after this I will begin a 2nd Round of HCG. I will continue this process until I meet my goal of 125 pounds! I know that I can do this! I have felt so embarrassed and uncomfortable for 2 years and I am over this, I want a change and I am taking it now!
I will be back Saturday March 12, 2011; to let you know weigh in, measurments, etc.!
