The Journey Continues...

So I finished my first round of HCG towards the end of January and I lost a total of 26 pounds! Yay Me!!! I decided to go through the stabilization period because I knew there were some up coming events that I just couldn't resist not eating some of the yummy food. I start my second round this weekend and will probably do two rounds back to back. During the last couple of weeks during the stablization period I've kept the weight off that I had already lost and only go up and down between a pound or two. People can tell that I've lost some weight by my face I guess, but I haven't noticed too big off a difference, other then all my pants look like they are 3 sizes too big, lol. So this weekend is my first shopping trip since I've lost weight, but I figure I'm only going to buy 1 pair of pants because I know I'm going to keep losing weight. That's about it for now... more updates to come when I lose more weight!



Down 26 Pounds And Counting...



The Journey Begins!!!

*So Here Is A Picture Of Me After I Cut My Hair And Before I Started HCG*

I have decided that this year is going to be my year of change! I am changing the way I think about everything by being more positive, changing my eating habits, and changing my home to be how I want it.
I have been reading the book "You Can Heal Your Life" by Louise Hays for the last year and for Christmas my older brother got me the whole kit that goes along with the book. Some things have already changed for the better since reading the book... My main problem that I had for a long time was finiancial problems, but this last year some of my blessings were met and took away some of the stress of money.
Also, I had been having problems with my car since the day I got it and after having my car finally break down for the last time, I put out to the universe to please help me with a car, that I just couldn't handle it anymore. A week later I drove my new PT Cruiser off the lot! (Special Thanks To My Wonderful Step-Dad Who Helped Me With That)
One of my main changes that I'm doing is to lose weight, ALOT of weight! I am at the heaviest weight I have ever been. I use to love getting my pictures taken and now, I literally want to run and hide from the camera. I still love and accept myself for the beautiful person I am inside and out, but I want to feel better about myself when I look in the mirror or see pictures of myself. It's not that I want to get down to a size 0, which I will never be, at least not in this lifetime. I want to feel healthy and in shape... I want to be able to be an active mom and not just sit on the sidelines.
So begins my new adventure on the HCG Diet! I started taking the drops on Monday and as of today, day 4, I am already down 10 pounds! Of course with me, my weight goes up and down all the time, so I haven't really noticed a difference with just 10 pounds. I'm still hesitant to admit my full weight right now, but I think once I lose some more, then I won't be ashamed to admit what it was at. I took some before pictures and after I'm done with my first round I'll take some after pictures. If I'm brave enough I'll post them for everyone to see. I plan on doing at least 3 rounds to get down to a healthy weight.

Where Did The Time Go?!?!?

Really... It's already been a year? I can't believe how fast time goes by now that I'm all grown up. I remember being a little kid and thinking to myself that time moved by so slow and when would Christmas or my birthday be here again? I still remember one day when I was around the age of 15 watching a couple holding hands in the park and wondering where I would be in life in 10 years or so.

Well 10 years later here I am with a beautiful little boy and so much to look forward too! I hate how fast time is going by now because I feel like I'm not getting enough time to enjoy Korbyn being young. This last week while I was off work and home with him, he was amazing! He has started to grow into such a respectful little guy. I have always told him to say please and thank you, but when someone offered him something and he said, "No Thank You" I was so proud! How often do you hear a 3 1/2 year old say that? He is also the sweetest and most honest person I know. When I cut my hair this last weekend (Pictures Soon To Follow) he ran up to me, took me in the kitchen to see my hair and told me that I was the prettiest person he had ever seen. He tells me at least 5 times a day that I'm beautiful and 100 times a day that he loves me so so so so so so much and that he is really really really really happy! I can honestly say that I didn't know what love truly was until I held him in my arms. And now every morning when I get to go in and wake him up and he wants me to hold him for 2.5 minutes, I fall in love all over again. I cherish each and everyday I get to spend with him and wish I could freeze time so that I could hold him in my arms forever.

First Blog Ever!!!

Hmmm... Okay I guess we will see how this goes. I've been working on trying to get a cute background for a couple of hours now with all hope lost! I have even watched YouTube videos and here I am supposedly a computer whiz! So if anyone reading this knows what the heck a 'minima' is and how I go about changing it to that so these backgrounds will work, PLEASE let me know, lol. I think I need to take a mini-course on blogging so that I'm up to date with all this. I think once I get a background and cute little things that go with it I will feel like it has some of my personality. So for now... if anyone has any advice on how to upload pictures and get it all together, feel free to let me know because it's all a foreign language to me right now!
