In all my years of searching for solutions that made sense, my answer was HCG and Beachbody for maintaining. I am so grateful to have found both tools and it is now going into 6 years that i have been involved in both and have kept a healthy weight, I never went back to my 183 (hcg start weight was 168). This was so wonderful to see this news so I wanted to share... Beachbody's 21 Day Ultimate Reset was published last month in a Scientific Medical Journal and is getting some much deserved attention for what it can do for your health both physically and medically, in just 3 weeks. Get it at Ultimate Reset Now
Ok so I haven't posted in a while and usually this blog has been really only about the hcg journey.. I just have to share some wonderful news! Its no secret that I used my beach body products to maintain my weight over the years since 2008. However I have always told people, if you wanna get rid of fat do HCG! Even though I am a free coach with Beachbody and I would probably get yelled at for saying this out loud.. Its better to jump in, bang out a round of hcg and get rid of most of your fat than to do a weight loss/workout program killing your self week after week and not seeing much happen, I personally had experienced that before hcg. its not fun and it became discouraging really fast.
Ok so after years of mostly keeping a low carb diet, though I was able to eat moderate enough carbs but I always shad to curb that back with a steak day and days of extremely low carbs... I didn't really mind because I found a way to make that work for me... What did start to happen after November is for some reason my body started having issues with meat. I loved the taste of meat so why was it making me sick? I really tried to push through that for as long as I could but it became unbearable. I finally gave up cold turkey and felt much much better! However I realized that just eating low carb veggies became a problem also, my stomach would go into cramps but then I would have some carbs and felt much much better... So here I was back to carb state of mind again and freaking out about what that would mean for maintenance.
My best friend had been more involved in beach body than I have been recently and I was shocked to see how much starch she was having, looking great and wasn't just maintaining her weight she was actually LOSING! It inspired me, us really, to start eating according to the ultimate reset program. the point was to get the body back to eating carbohydrates and not suffering weight gain as a result.
I am happy to say, HOW wonderful it is to have breakfast eating some oatmeal and berries... fresh fruit and veggies and some bread and some pasta and root vegetables! Ah I am in love all over again! After so many years of eating such a heavy meat diet I am really happy to have a change and the weird thing is, I dont get as hungry and dont eat as much anymore.... I would say almost 90 Vegan most of the time, but I do still LOVE my eggs!!!! Weirdly my mom and brother even started eating this way too and they are HCG fanatics and meat lovers... And if I am out once in a while I do some sushi (but only raw) and it taste wonderful.. Its like I have regained my senses and taste buds all over again.

I have been so busy.. none stop editing this book.. haven't been able to check in.. things are good, few days more though I am not even really sure, havent had time to check.. looks like this round will be a 16 or 17 pounder..
Down 3 and a half pounds since starting back 2 days ago.. I feel also a massive BM coming on heeeeee which is great as that means so more los that didnt get reflected due to waste in y system. As i was only guessing I lost 1 pound yesterday, i guess it doesn't matter hehe because between then and now is an dditional 1.5 pounds. I have done really well sprinkling coconut powder on just about everything, it makes things so tasty and creamy and is truly my life savior.
I lost 2 pounds the first day back and I have no idea what I lost today.. completely forgot to check the scale and I had tea and such. But i feel superskinny heeeeeeeeeeeeee so I am guessing t least another pound off.. had stomach cramping again today... solved that with some hot water and baking soda..
Lovely to start back today.. So far so good, lots fo peeing and miraculously already lost a pound haha and its not even the end of the day yet.. cant wait to see the scales tomorrow. I am so lost in space and time these days I don't even know how many days I have left to do.. I suspect around 2 weeks? I will have to count back...
Enjoy your night my lovies.. here is some Karsh Kale to relax to.

Finally can start back on HCG.. after having this allergic food reaction and the hives. I decided to start back last Wed and then what do you know? TOM. I decided not to stress my body too much with what i was healing from and then this. I am glad I didn't it was a heavy and painful one.
had ot pause hcg on sunday havent lost or gained. getting over ptomaine poisoning and serious case of hive breakout. i think i am ready to go back today but i may tomorrow. i haven quite decided yet.
Kinda funny, 10 0z seems to be the magical number these days. I did do some coconut oil yesterday, made a wonderful coconut curry shrimp with miracle noodles spaghetti. All I can report is it didn't make me stall. Happy to be down another 10 today again. Though its quite funny to me when I think about it

Down another 10oz! Booooooooooooooo HCG! but at least it wasn't 0 heeeeeeeeeee!
On Monday was a bit of a hectic day. I wasn't really stressed but had a lot to do. I totally forgot and brushed my teeth with peppermint, ahhhh but it was so wonderful hahahah. Big oooops! I, in that moment decided to not stress it and go about my day as usual. I also had a lot of stomach cramping, which didn't make sense because i was not hungry..
Trader Joes low sodium fat free chicken stock (add water to lower sodium) Strips of chicken or ground beef (I use the trader joes soy mince beef, fresh scallion and thyme and add veggies of your choice. I also put 1/2 teaspoon of coconut powder for creaminess (less than .5gr of fat) 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of psylliumm husk powder for thickening! I have seen others using coconut oil and having good results. I haven't used that yet. Maybe I will try it later in the round so i can report on how it goes.

Day 1 after VLCD I lost exactly 2 pounds.. I have to say it was disappointing! In the past it was usually 2.8-3.5 pounds. I was feeling yesterday like my body had betrayed me! I really had to go into my head and do some releasing and clearing. What were the facts? It then dawned on me that while I had a perfect VLCD
Holy Crap! Pre-load 136 after load eh ehm 140! I didn't stress it thought because I knew I had to go to the bathroom from all that food I ATE during the load and that everything is going to be awesome in this round.. I definitely have a detox headache... but so far so good. My front looks pretty decent and realizing after taking the back photos I noticed where all that extra weight went to, some back fat and whatttt I am sporting a ghetto booty! Awesome LOL! Its all good, really excited!

Nothing to report today other than feeling really full in my tummy and sooo uncomfortable! Lost of peeing. So far so good with the inter-mountain HCG. I want load day to be over already!

Giving myself a little higher love today! It is after all Load Day #1
Go ahead dare your self to think about all the awesome things about you! Its your day, Its your time! Release all the noise that tells you otherwise.
There are so many things I have fallen in love with about myself over the last couple of years. For me, this whole new round will be yes HCG, but its a fall in love with the process too. Those of us who have battled with our weight knows what it feels like to battle loathing and discouragement. I am encouraging you my darlings to fall in love with you! No one deserves your love more than you, it is a process of peeling away the layers that you believe define you. All those moments you experienced that was so difficult. I am in no delusion/illusion as to how difficult that may be. I after all have gone through it. You do not have to wait for your perfect body to fall in love. Start now, start today. Each day is first about you. Look in the mirror and tell your self you are beautiful. Even if you are tempted to look away, or it brings up painful things, tell your self 3 times a day, eventually you will get there, I promise.
