HCG Diet Day 6

Started HCG Diet last Friday and within 6 days I have lost 11 lbs. Of the 11 lbs, 9.86 lbs were from fat. Hunger pain left within 2 - 3 days. I am under doctor supervision and taking HCG everyday and am only eating 500 calories. My craving for starches has disappeared and looking forward to waking up every morning to see what the weight loss is going to be. I have added Apple Cider Vinegar to boost the weight loss. I'll tell you if it worked. I am still continuing to exercise at least 30 minutes at the gym.

Challenges of a skinnygirl.

Recently I watch Gwyneth Paltrow on Ophrah. She confessed to working out 2 hours a day for 6 days of week in order to look as good as she does. I realize we complain how good Hollywood looks, and it's not fair, but if we really think about it, they worked hard to get that way.

Stop complaining and just do it!

I'm getting there.....

You Should Weigh 145

If you weigh less than this, you either have a fast metabolism or are about to gain weight. If you weigh more than this, you may be losing a few pounds soon!

How Much Do You Weigh?

Wow...It's been awhile....

It's been awhile since I last updated. I've been busy with my life and just recently had a death in my family. Since my last update, I have lost 27 lbs, and now weight 171lb. I am closer to my goal weight.

Basically...CUT out the carbs, and eat more often!

Taking care of myself...

I have made a pledge couple past days ago and it's been helping me.
Maybe it'll help others...

I will give to myself as I give to others.
I will value my health as I value the health of my loved ones.
I won't ask, "Should I or shouldn't I?" about matters of self-care.
I will just do it.
I humbly accept that I must work to be the best me I can be.
I will choose to work for myself, rather than abandon myself.
I will embrace adversity as an opportunity to test my mental and physical strength.

Since I have made and determined to honor this pledge, my physical and emotional health has taken a dramatic turn for the better.
I encourage others do the same.

Taking it one day at a time....

I realize that all too often we think about the end result and don't really think about the journey.
For example, my goal to lose the 50lbs. I think about the 50 lbs and don't really comprehend how difficult it will be to get there. Instead I make these goals of going to the gym three times of week, eating healthy, etc and of course fail because I'm not thinking about day to day. I make excuses of ..." I'll make it up tomorrow." But Tomorrow becomes the next day and the next.
This year, I'm going to think only one day at a time and that's this moment.

It's one of the most difficult task to be present in the moment and enjoy and feel all emotions and be aware of your enviroment. That is my goal for this year. Taking it one day at a time...

It's the New Year

So...It's a new year and we have a clean slate to shape up our diet, exercise, personal life, career, and of course our play life.
My goal: To be back on phase 1 of South Beach Diet for the next 4 weeks.
Exercise: To run the 5K run in March, so start to train running 20 minutes a day and increase that to 3 miles by March.
Personal life: Need to date more people...To at least go on one date every two weeks. That's good...right?
Career: Work smarter, not harder.
Play Life: To go on 3 vacation this year. I have the skiing trip in March, spring fling trip w/ girlfriends in April and Family vacation trip in August.

Brain Goal: Read more books.

New Year's Eve

Ok...maybe I didn't accomplished my goal for year 2006 to lose 50lbs...but I did lose 15 lbs....so I will continue to lose weight to 2007. I have a goal... I'm going away in March for a week on vacation and I want to look great!
