Getting ready for the 1st Hurdle

Well the first week and a half has passed by and I find myself down 8 pounds. I feel great and and am glad to say that it seems like my diabetes is improving. I feel as though I should be losing more but I think it will come. I know I did not put all this weight on overnight and nor do I expect to shed it overnight. I find that major weight loss is a journey. In my case a very long journey. But I feel that as long as I keep my eyes on the prize I will get back to an acceptable size. To tell you the truth I am tired of shopping at the big and tall stores. No offense to anyone that is associated with any of these types of stores. I would love to get back to my high school weight, of 225. That was a good weight for my body because I was able to maintain my weight and my joints weren't sore from lugging around and obese body. Well I am a little tired plus I don't want to make this too long either. I want to thank you for reading and until next time ... Peace.

Hit the Ground Running

Well I have been on ph2 for about a week now and I have noticed that my belly looks like it is starting to deflate! I went to the movies the other night and for the first time in a long time I did not have to raise the armrest on the stadium seats. Some of my clothes that I kinda looked stuffed in are fitting like they should and my energy level is beginning to go up. I find myself not being so tired at the end of a busy day now. I am so excited and the best thing is that I have just begun

Finally!!

Yesterday I finally got my HCG! I have been waiting patiently for it. I realized as I opened the brown wrapper that today is the first day of the rest of my life. I take the second phase of the diet. I am confident that the weight will start shredding off me. I mixed up my injections last night and took my first shot today. I am so anxious to get through the first phase so that my haters can see the effects of a cure!

Cleansing!!

Since I got the word that I was one of the 25 selected participants I have been trying to cleanse my whole body. I have taken I don't know how many different detox agents preparing myself for the HCG. It has felt like my body kinda went through a major change. I seen my pee go from light yellow to lime green to gold then back to almost clear. I tell you that was an experience that made me ask a lot of questions! I have noticed that my skin is clearing up and getting more toned. Not that my skin was bad, but it used to have a few bumps where I shaved and i had a dark spot on each cheek. Now the bumps are gone and the dark spots have cleared up. I thought that KT was crazy when he said to not use lotion. I said to myself, " I am an African American and a diabetic, after I shower I need lotion. Now I use coconut oil on my face, hands, legs and arms; and coco butter on my knees and elbows. I find that these natural moisturizers work better, and overall are cheater by volume. I have also started using natural soaps on my body, and cleaners around my house. I go to bed earlier and rise earlier. Just doing phase 1 I am beginning to feel better. That is all I have to say today ... oh yeah, thanks for reading!!! your input is highly appreciated.

Cheat Days!!

Well this weekend I was kinda laxed on the diet because I thought I was doing so well. Well I relies that I cannot afford to really have any cheat days. I had one this past weekend and I didn't think that I over did it but to my surprise when I stepped on the scale today I was 5 lbs heavier. Maybe it was my choices in my cheats but I was very astonished at my weight fluctuating the 5 lbs. So I think that in the future if I have any other cheat days it would will just be for 1 meal and those instances will be far and few between. My HCG is on its way and I am patiently awaiting to begin phase 2 round 1. I am steadily finding recipes that I can eat while on phase 2 and I hope I have enough to keep things interesting and not to burn myself out on any particular meals. I think that is all for now ... Thank You for reading!
