LAST LITTLE BIT...!

145.6 lbs.

Okay, so Looong time since I've blogged! I am now an HCG WHOLE Life Coach and have 15 clients across the country! Hallelujah! I am so stunned and blessed for this awesome opportunity and responsibility God has so blessed me with!

I take each and every person so seriously because they are made in the image of God and their life COUNTS!

I wanted to go back on HCG for a bit to always stay "in touch" with what my clients-my friends, are feeling and to be at my own goal of 140! That would really be nice. So, that's my goal-140.

So funny getting a pair of jeans the other day...unless they're in normal sizes, I don't know what a 28, 29, etc. is. Normal sizes, please. So, I'm leaving Nordstrom Rack with a pair of Joe's jeans (a true designer jean) so I know there will be no "fudging" on the size. Whatever they are will really be what they are-no stretching or spandex involved. The girl at the counter was a friend of mine and as I was leaving, I called out to her on my way out the door,"So what does a size 27 translate to in a normal size?" Without hesitation, she called out, "That's a size 4!"

I about ran into the glass door! A 4!!! Honey, the only time a 4 has been involved in my jeans has been with a 1 in front of it! I just couldn't believe it! Even now, as a coach, it is still hard to believe!

So for those of you reading this-it is SO WORTH IT! Don't cheat. Every day you stay consistent you are getting closer to your own "jean testimony!"

STAY STRONG! When your strength runs out-ask God for His! He promises we can trade Him our weakness for HIS Strength!

160 lbs.

156.4 lbs. LOAD DAY

A few days at once...

Okay, so like my last entry said, I did come off a few days to be on phase 3 awhile because because I was feeling weak & hungry despite still taking the HCG. The HCG coaching manual says this may happen if your body is done losing abnormal fat or if you're developing an immunity to the HCG. It's better to come off for a while. Also, anyone who may be reading this, learn from my mistake and be a DAILY WEIGHER! Also, I put on a few because I didn't stay on the VLCD for the 3 days after taking my last dose. I have learned my mistake and won't do it again this time when I come off because the gain is not worth it! Here's my weighs:
Wednesday, March 31, 2010-157.2 lbs.
Thursday, April 1, 2010-154.6 lbs.
Friday, April 2, 2010- 153.2 lbs.
Yesterday, I had the HCG cookbook recipe for French Onion soup and it was so yummy! Can't believe I've been missing it all this time! I used liquid smoke in place of the Worchestire sauce b/c mine had sugar in it. Feel fine, no real hunger pains. Like my friend, Bonnie Shores, told me a long time ago (and I have never forgotten it), you must know the difference between a genuine hunger pang or just your tummy feeling a bit empty. Drink some hot coffee or tea if it's the latter or some chicken broth w/ a bit of minced onion & seasonings.

DAY 14: 153.6 lbs.

Hallelujah! I am happy there was not a huge gain. I wanted to write this Scripture down from Hebrews 10:36 which says,"For you have need of endurance..." This word endurance in the Greek is so powerful. It means constancy, perseverance, continuance, bearing up, steadfastness, holding out, patient endurance. The word combines "under" and "to remain." It describes the capacity to continue to bear up under difficult circumstances, not with a passive complacency, but with a hopeful fortitude that actively resists weariness and defeat. I claim that to resist weariness!!

DAY 13: 153.4 lbs.

Yes! I was happy with this almost pound loss. I am so close and don't want to quit now but with me being so hungry and feeling weak yesterday, I did something a bit different today. In a manual that drugdelivery.ca sent me, it gives some tips for the HCG-er. It says you can occasionally add an egg or a few raw almonds if you're feeling weak. Well, I admit, I probably overhauled it today. I had 2 scrambled eggs this morning w/ 2 veggie protein (Morningstar) "sausage" patties. Haven't had anything else all day. We'll see in the morning. Awww, forget it. I had some difficulty tonight in a meeting regarding some personal financial decisions. I must have been upset b/c the next thing I know, I'm eating a bowl of pasta which was my kids & hubby's dinner! Oh, God, like Hebrews 10, yes! I need endurance!! Grant me your endurance. With your help, I shall not be moved! I pray crop failure in my body tonight and the fresh mercy and grace of God to show on the scale in the morning! Yes, I'm crazy enough to pray it!

DAY 12: 154.2 lbs.

I will say I was disappointed with this number today. I have felt hungry all day and according to my research, I could be feeling this way because I need more protein or need a break from the hcg. Every body is different and according to the manual, HCG will stop working when it's pulled all the fat from your stores it's going to pull. Yes, I have a number stuck in my head of 147 but I'm a size 6ish:) right now and I'm fine with it. I think, of course, being my own worst critic, I certainly see where more fat can go. We'll just see what the scale says tomorrow. I am believing for a big drop!!!
