Out in Left Field

I feel like I am out in left field in life anymore. I have two completely neglected blogs and a neglected house but hey the kids are happy and healthy right? WRONG! I have completely forgotten about me. And that old addage that says, "If momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy" is beginning to fall true at my house. I completely fell off the weight loss wagon. I've gained nearly 20 pounds in the last year. I've been to the gym off and on but I can't seem to make it a habit. Something always comes up and off I go again. I have six months to prepare for my first formal ball as well as my 10 year wedding anniversary. The idea for the last few years was that we were going to renew our vows with a big to do ceremony but after looking at pictures of myself recently there is no way I am spending my hard earned money on a gorgeous wedding dress at this size. It just isn't happening. I have a hard enough time wrapping my head around having to wear a ball gown so.... Back on the wagon I go. This time I am dragging the husband with me. We've now been to the gym for two days. It is so hard to get up and go so early when we are running so much each night we barely make it to the bed before we can pass out. But once we get there it works out fine. Luckily softball and soccer season are almost over with. Then that means just a couple of months of baseball season and I can actually get some rest and allow my body to heal and lose weight. Be on the lookout for more posts to come. Like I said, I am dragging the husband with me this time and he's not happy about it.

Day 3`

Yesterday was a pretty rough day. I felt awful all day long and ended the horrid day with a bad migraine. My eating was absolutely no good and I forgot to do the HCG drops at lunch time. I didn't do much physical activity either as it felt much better laying on the couch reading for most of the day. Today won't be that way. I feel much better today after a good night's sleep and the rest from yesterday so I am back on top of my game. Here is this morning's weigh in. Not much of a loss but still some loss.

Day 2

Yesterday wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I didn't eat much in excess although I didn't eat only what is on the approved list either. I haven't had time to go to the grocery store so I tried to wing it with a few of the healthy foods we have here. Today since I am busy will most likely be the same way.

Here is this morning's weigh in. It isn't a large number but it is a loss. I will take it. This is how I lost the weight last time, in small increments so it works with me.

Day 1- The first day of the rest of my life

I am overweight. I have known this for years and I have tried many different ways to lose the excess pounds. Anything that has ever worked has only worked for a couple of pounds and then I would always put those pounds right back on and most likely some more. This stopped in the fall when I found HCG drops. It is the hormone that women make while pregnant. It is used in non-pregnant people to reset the hypothalamus. And so far, it is the only thing that has worked for me! It is of course a very strict diet that I have a hard time following but I do my best and still lose weight. I have not taken the HCG in 2 mths and have maintained the weight I lost. So today, I start again. No planning because for me that's like planning for failure. Instead I woke up this morning and just decided today was the day.

I always weigh myself every morning while on this diet. So I will be sharing those pics here. This of course will cause my blog to be private until I am on a lighter side of the scale. So here is today's weigh in picture.
