Well, I weighed in at 214.6 this morning. Awesome, right? That's another 2 pounds down... It should have been enough to keep me going, but I ended up pulling the plug on the good ol' Hcg thing.
I even felt better this morning than the last two days! So why did I quit? To be honest with you, I just wasn't strong enough mentally. Maybe I'll try it again another day (more realistically not...) but the difference between this time and last time is probably the amount of weight to lose (an extra 30) and having a baby in the home.
It was too much for me to ask my husband to do everything because I couldn't touch my daughter's baby wipes, soap, or lotion for fear of stalling... And being too tired, cranky, and lightheaded to take care of her. I realize I might have started to feel better eventually, but doing this diet again kind of showed me that it's not the right fit for me now that I'm at a different point in my life.
So! What did I do today then? Well, I went to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch. I know, horrible! But afterwards, I went to Walmart and bought some Lean Cuisines for the week and I'm going to finish off my healthy Hcg food and diet at about 1100 calories a day plus morning and evening workouts.
After my baby went to sleep, I did a 40 minute Tae Bo workout (Billy Blanks) AND 30 minutes walking on the treadmill at 2.0-3.0 speed. The reason I had decided to do Hcg in the first place is that after giving birth, working out was HARD and...different. So I thought I needed to lose weight so I could workout at a lighter weight. However, working out tonight showed me that I just needed to give myself an extra month of healing before working out. It felt amazing tonight to sweat, not painful. I could actually do the moves and push myself.
So, in summary, in 24 hours I have quit Hcg and started working out. I don't consider this a failure but an enlightenment of what's right for me.
