Day #1 VLCD

Well, let me just say this sucks :( I've been hungry all day and not to mention moody too. This morning I woke up and took Samantha to school at 8:10 and then I came back to the house to pick up Shaun to take him to the doctor to have his weekly INR check (to test how thick his blood is) We go back to Boise the 1st week of November to see Shaun's cardio doctor to see if he needs another mitral valve replacement yet. Most likely it will be when he's 1 1/2 - 2 years old but they have to keep an eye on him just in case we have to do it earlier. Then came back to have my apple snack and then left to go do some grocery shopping for lunch and dinner. I had lunch, a spinach salad with turkey and some water with a splash of lemon. Cantaloupe for my other snack and  a steak for dinner with green beans. My husband ate his stuff and asked where was the main course? I replied you had it,hun LOL. Made it through the day without cheating though. Now I'm watching some t.v. before I head to bed but wait here come a McDonalds commercial and Outback Steak House and Pillsburry Doughboy cookies oh yeah my higher power isn't laughing in my face now is he. Hopefully tomorrow is better and maybe it can show on the scale :)

Day #2 Load Day

Today not too bad of a day compared to yesterday for loading up on food. About half way through the day I felt sick. :( I don't know if I didn't eat enough or if I ate to much at one time. So I waited an hour ate some cottage cheese with mandarin oranges slices and my tummy settled down and I went on with my day. I have my menu planned out for the week with the calories all counted for so if I get too busy with the kids I'm not running around like a chicken with my head cut off. So far hubby is loving the loading days, lets see how he does with the rest of the 1st week,lol. Time to get some last minute eating in before it's too late. Going grocery shopping tomorrow morning after I drop off Samantha at school. Good luck to everyone on their diet tomorrow.

Day #1 Load Day

Well, so far today wasn't to bad. I thought I would eat more than I did. Hopefully tomorrow I can do better. Shortly after taking the drops it seemed like I was more hungry than but maybe it's just in my head. The drops have a weird taste at first but that went away fast. Is anybody else taking coral calcium with this diet? Some say they do some don't and I would like to know if I should start taking this anytime soon. Will post pictures most likely by the end of the first week.  Not much went on today so I'll see what goes on tomorrow.

Pre-Diet Day

A little about me...Well I married my husband in October 2003 in Indiana. We wanted to start a family and had our first little girl Samantha August of 2004. I gained the normal amount of weight for the pregnancy and lost most of the weight after she was born but started to eat poorly shortly after and slowly started to put back on the pounds. Then in June 2008 we had our second little girl Tabitha. I gained 30 pounds with her and I lost about half of that weight. Again I didn't eat well after she was born and gained it slowly back. My husband and I decided we wanted to have 1 more child to complete our family. Well to our surprise came our biggest "Surprise" ...TWINS! Yes, twins and I knew then things wouldn't be the same. I had a normal pregnancy with Shaun and Lea and went full term and gained 45-50 with them. They were born December of 2009. Again I lost some weight but most stayed. I found it hard to find time to myself taking care of twins a 2 year old and an autistic 6 year old and so starts my struggle with the weight gain.
My husband and I decided we needed to make ach ange before it got way out of hand and didn't want to do any changes for our health.

So I been doing some research on the HCG diet for a little while now and I finally decided I need to take conrol and just do it.
Getting last minute things together so we can start out diet tomorrow. Yes,gorging for 2 days sound like fun :)
