Finally Finished

I'm finally finished with the HCG diet!!!!! Hooray!!!!! I actually had to stop a little earlier, day 34, due to being on edge a little to much. (My husband couldn't take the mood swings) I don't know if it was the hormone or not, but after taking my last shot last Saturday and then letting the HCG run out of my body I found that I wasn't on edge like I was and I was feeling much better. I don't want to worry anyone because everyone reacts differently to hormone, but towards the end of the diet I just became really on edge and knew I needed to get off of it. In all honesty if I ever have to do this again I would only do a 20 day cycle, do to how I felt at the end of the 40 day cycle.

The great news of being on the diet for 34 days is I lost 23lbs total and feel like a new woman. My new body is a birthday present to myself and I love it. I feel so much lighter now when I run, imagine that. With hormones raging (towards the end), no sugar(except on a rare occasion), and none of my favorite carbs, it was totally worth it. Now that I'm completely off the diet and doing the maintenance part, I can already see that my metabolism is running smoother. I will post before and after pictures hopefully this weekend, I need my husband home to take a picture, so you can see for yourself the success I have had. Thank you everyone who followed me during my adventure and supported me, it was long and at times hard, but with your support and the support of family and friends I pulled through and was successful. Thanks again everyone!!!!!

Day 30 but actually only Day 26

Since I haven't blogged in a while it looks like I've fallen off the wagon, but I can say for sure that I have not and I'm still going strong. Truthfully... with being crazy busy and going out of town, the last two weeks have been difficult ( DO NOT GO ANY WHERE while doing the HCG diet) I'm not where I had planned on being but I'm 9lbs away from my goal weight.

My title of this blog says I should be on day 30, however starting tomorrow I will only be on day 26 do to my monthly cycle. Yes..... I know that sounds weird but when your on your cycle your not suppose to take any injections until your done then you can continue with your your 40 day injection cycle. I was slightly nervous that I would be ravenous hungry and eat everything in sight, but I've stuck to my 500 calorie diet and haven't felt starved.

This whole cycle has been long and hard at times (especially on birthdays and at family events), but I'm so proud of my results. I look forward to the end of this when I will post my before and after pictures and also celebrating my 35Th birthday this month with my new body.

I have to do a shout out to my husband who just finished a 23 day cycle and lost 19lbs. Hubba, hubba..... you look awesome honey!!!!!!
