Oh happy days!

I'm on a roll!!! I'm getting caught up with my school work (there's only 3 weeks left!!!), my house has been tidied and I lost 3.8 pounds this morning on my weigh-in!!! Whoo-hoo!

What am I doing, you ask? I'm on the HCG diet. You can get shots administered by a doctor or sublingual drops (you put under your tongue). I did a lot of research on this before jumping into it and I also asked my doctor about it, to make sure it's safe. Not only is it safe but it is FDA approved. Wonder how all the rich and famous lose weight so quick - and keep it off? HCG!

Yesterday I woke up early and had my orientation at Clayton State, which I am starting in the Fall. I was so nervous that I didn't sleep well the night before. Once I got there, I was really excited though!!

What a beautiful campus and oh-so BIG!! I got lost a few times when I was by myself (like, looking for my car! LOL). Because the HCG diet is so strict, I went to school prepared: herbal tea to drink on the way, melba toast for a mid-morning snack and my fruit (an apple) on the way home. Once home, I made my protein (3 ounces of cooked chicken with no oil) and my veggie - cooked cabbage, with no oil. I felt so much better once I ate this! I did good with my drops and taking in my 100+ ounces of water during the day. Dinner was good - lean ground beef wrapped in lettuce and an orange! I went to bed with a slight headache but they say that is normal the first couple of days.

Today I had 3 ounces cooked chicken, cooked cabbage, melba toast and an apple for lunch. It looks really boring on the plate but was delish!

The only real down side to this diet is no Diet Coke and no wine while on the drops. I'm in Phase 2 right now (Phase 1 is a cleanse which I opted out of) and will be for about 35 more days. I will then go into Phase 3 to get my body set at that weight for about 3 weeks and then back on the drops for the next round of weight loss. While on Phase 3, you can eat and drink what you want as long as it's low carb. After losing 3.8 pounds this morning, I feel it is so worth it!!

If you want to look up the details on the program, go to www.theskinnytrain.com for the "skinny" on it! LOL Stacie, a sorority sister of mine, is the Skinny Train Girl! She went from a size 12 to a 4 and has maintained that weight loss! Her mom has maintained her weight loss for 2+ years!

Well, I have to do some prep work for dinner tonight. The bestie and I are hanging out by the pool with a cold glass of ice water, cooking out (fish - yum!) and enjoying the cool weather of the evening while the kiddos play with their new wiffle ball set! Have a great evening!

Stay true to you!

Hugs,
