First time for everything

I decided to try the new (old) HCG diet.  For a few reasons:

1)    I’m fat

2)  Okay, not nearly as fat as I used to be, but I have gained 25 lbs in the past 2 years.

3)  I really (really) want to be closer (or under) 200 lbs before I get pregnant

4)  I want to get pregnant

So I saved up some money and placed my order last Friday morning, lucky for me they had a BOGO sale going on!  I got 2 months worth of the stuff for the price of 1! And if you must know, the cost of that “weight loss in a bottle” was a whooping $99. 

I got my order in today, so I will begin on Saturday.  I know, a funny day to start a diet huh? Well, the first two days of this diet are “high fat” days.  So I figured I would have those over the weekend so Ken and I can eat out a few times (ya know, pizza, chinese, etc).  Then it is on to 500 calorie diet, 1 piece of fruit for breakfast, lunch is 3.5oz of lean meat, reasonable portion of certain veggies, and a piece of Melba toast, and supper is 3.5oz of a different type of lean meat, reasonable portion of certain veggies, a piece of fruit, and a piece of Melba toast, for the next 23 days.  After that, for the next 21 days (3 weeks) I will be on a low carb, no sugar 1,500 calorie diet to maintain, then I can start again.  You are supposed to lose around 25lbs during the 26 days, so if all goes as planned, I should shed 50 lbs, and hopefully keep it off.  If I can manage that I will be under 200 for the first time in FOREVER!

I will keep this up during this time, and let you know how it goes.  I just need to remember the voice in my head telling me I can’t do this is a LIAR!
