Eating CLEAN.

First thing's first.

I have lost 29 pounds so far. 

Which means i have TWELVE more to go 

until my first major goal.

The super groovy part is that i haven't been this weight since before i

had my FIRST kid.

Almost three years ago. 

Anywho. 

I want to talk about how my mom was in town staying with me this week.

My mother is a type TWO diabetic with arthritis and a heap of other 

health problems. She happened to be my biggest motivation to

start treating my self better. I really don't want to end up like

that.. and i was close.

She drinks diet coke from sun up to sun down. Never ingests a single bit of water

and usually only eats food that comes from a box or a bag.

Suicide, right?

So I showed her some studies that were done and linked diet soda 

to joint pain, depression, and obesity.

It finally convinced her to put them down. After she's been drinking them 

since the seventies.. it's taken me a while to convince her.

I made her lunch and dinner while she was here, but she ate what i ate.

She lost six pounds while being in my house.

There was a few nights where she didn't even have to take her insulin. 

I really want this to be a wake up call for  her. We need to keep her around.

Side Note:

I've been receiving a lot of negative feedback

for doing the HCG diet. If you

happen to be one of those people

please know that i AM under a doctors

care, and my DR thinks i'm doing 

fantastic. 

But since some people don't like to keep their negativity

to themselves, i don't currently talk about 

my progress on my FB or twitter anymore.

I have a separate PAGE on FB that i post updates and 

talk to others who are going through the same things

for those who would like to 

see how the diet is going.

Dear, NAY sayers.

Its down time at my house. 

Kids are in bed. 

Watching The Voice. 

I'm trying to steer clear of all social networking so nobody spoils

the season finale to my favorite show because i can't watch

until tomorrow :(

What a great time to update.

As of today i am down 21 pounds. 

I have 20 more to go until i meet my first 'mini goal' and i

really think i can do it by the end of this round.

Lately i've been getting flack about using this diet

Some people think we are 'starving' because we only have 500 calories. 

I truly recommend to any of you to do your research.

HCG acts on the hypothalamus, signaling the body to release stored fat

into the bloodstream where it is then available to be used by the cells for 

nourishment. This forces the body to use mobilized fat from the the bloodstream. 

HCG causes the release of abnormal fat without affecting structural fat and muscle tissue.

Which basically means, its fucking awesome.

Nobody is malnourished. Nobody gets cancer. 

HUNDREDS and thousands of people have been successful with this

diet and it has literally changed their lives. Including myself, and i'm just a

beginner. 

Think about it.. what's worse

Obesity, High-cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease, 

diabetes, heart attacks...

OR 

an ALL natural hormone that isn't FDA approved?

The FDA would approve us to eat our own FECES if they 

thought it would keep us dependent on manufacturers.

SO-STOP googling reasons why you shouldn't do it.. and ask someone who HAS.

Look up some before and after photos. 

Read how it changed lives.

That is all.

HCG Day 5.

And i've already lost 13 pounds.

I hope you know how much this excites me.

A few people have messaged me wanting to know more about it.

Here's the short version.

HCG is a hormone found in pregnant women that somehow causes your body to burn 

an abnormal amount of fat. It curbs your appetite so  you won't be hungry on 

this very low calorie diet...and the pounds just melt away. I've averaged 

a loss of 2.2 pounds a day.

And really. I'm not hungry.

I actually feel like most of my eating was habitual and its habits that 

i'm struggling to break.  Like late night snacks

while my shows are on. Eating simply because i'm bored 

or something tastes good. 

I knooooow it's only been 5 days, but i feel like i've used an 

enormous amount of discipline this week, and i'm proud of myself.

The instant results are motivation enough for me.

A friend of mine even made a group on facebook where 

we all support each other and help answer questions. 

My only question is.. why am i just now hearing about HCG? 

I would have started this shit years ago.

Mind Over Matter.

And today was DAY THREE.

Today i feel FULL of energy. 

Happy.

Excitable.

Encouraged.

Motivated.

I woke up this morning to another TWO pounds gone.

So that's a total of 8 pounds since loading.

pause.

(happy dancing)

unpause.

I'm not hungry at all. As a matter of fact, i haven't eaten my second fruit yet. 

I was waiting for The Voice to come on ;)

I laughed at myself a little today while making my lunch.

It was a raw spinach and chicken salad..

but my brain told me if i cut the pieces of chicken up into iddle widdle slivers, 

it will last longer. LOL

So it took me almost an HOUR to eat this little bit of food!

i did the same with my apple. 

because if it takes up a lot of room, it must be 

a lot of food, right?

I'm still really excited about dinner. Keep in mind ALL meat is to be weighed at

100g or 3.5oz so i was more than pleased to find out

i got to eat 7 pieces of shrimp!!

So i made lemon-garlic shrimp and asparagus.

Success. 

xoxo.

Fantastic 500.

SO.
I want to tell you how my first 500 cal day went before i tell you the result. 

Basically this is going to be a routine for the next 30+ days.

Breakfast is coffee or tea and a HCG drop.
i chose coffee because i'm not english.

The only sweetener option for anything is Stevia.

I am not a fan.

So i drink my coffee black. 

Lunch is HCG and 100 grams of protein and 100 grams of a LIMITED

choice of vegetables.

Yesterday i had spinach and chicken with an apple.

SN: (i cut some celery to eat also, but it was after i took the photo that i learned

that we can't 'mix' our veg intake. So i didn't eat it.)

I'm not going to lie and say i wasn't hungry between lunch and dinner, because i definitely was.

Dinner is EXACTLY the same, only you have to use a different protein, veg and fruit.

I had steak and cabbage.

And because i'm used to staying up so late, i knew i would be hungry at some

point after dinner, so i saved my orange and ate it about 7 o'clock.

ALSO.. throughout the day i killed about a gallon of water. 

I don't know how i'm going to do this everyday.. but you're supposed to.

So my first day was tricky. Trying to establish a pattern and convince my brain

that i'm not starving.

The good news is, i woke up and 

was SIX pounds lighter.

Omfg.

I gained TWO pounds during loading days, so if you include those, it was a total of 6. 

If you want to count from my 'start' weight, that its 4 pounds.

Either way. Amazing.

So IMO, that's well worth the first day hunger pains.

Today has been SOOO much better. I'm definitely not as hungry and i'm

much more confident in the diet.

So far, so good.

Fully Loaded.

So I started my HCG yesterday. 

The first phase is loading. 

Which means you ingest as much fat possible for the first two days.

Sounds cray crazy, right?

It's basically to stock normal fat cells and prepare the body to burn abnormal fat, 

resulting in fast weight loss. 

Its the part of the reason you aren't starving on a 500 cal diet.

I'm currently loaded with everything i could cram in my fat face.

I feel like poo.

Anywhooooo, 

I'm going to start blogging my stats everyday again 

and keeping track of my food.

I'm nervous though because the 'menu' is soooo limited.

4oz of chicken, lean beef or shrimp.

spinach, celery, asparagus or green leaf. 

oranges, strawberries, apples or grapefruit.

There are a FEW other choices, but i don't fucking eat fish, fennel, chard, chicory or beets.

(0_o)

Yeah.. 500 cals a day. 

Goodbye food.

goodbye diet coke.

Goodbye poptarts

and

goodbye smoke.

Goodbye chips.

goodbye dips.

Goodbye sprees

and 

goodbye cheese.

That was my ode to fat. Inspired by goodnight moon. HA. 

See, all this food loading has made me irrational. Time to hit the hay with a

massive food coma. Tomorrow is a big day. 

xoxo

Where's The Beef?

Oh HAI. 

Have we met?

I know, I know. I've truly been avoiding this moment.
What had happened was...

(._.)

The only excuse i have is that i got super discouraged.
It happens, right?
I guess after the problems with my back, i just gave up.

For the moment. 

But here's the real deal. For the past few weeks, i've been doing a massive

amount of research on a natural weight loss supplement called HCG.

I'm sure a lot of you have heard of it and are already against 

any kind of 'help' during diets.. but this shit is different.

Take a second and look at the thousands of positive results on 

their facebook page.

YES, 

i know that 500 calories a day is starving myself.

but this is also prescribed by doctors and is 100% natural.

SO i'm doing it. 

Ordering it Monday and i'll start updating on how that is working.

I'm really excited to start.

SO Thats all for now. 

xoxo Kelley.
