FYI

Just thought you all should know that this:



does NOT equal this:



I have started another change in my life. Three weeks ago I started the HCG hormoane diet. I am almost done. I think it went really well. I had a goal to lose 15 pounds, but in the end only lost 10. I was a little bummed. I plan to work real hard and get the other 20 off.

It did instill some good habits for me. I don't eat past six and don't crave much junk anymore ( Is till crave Doritos though, melba toast just ain't cuttin' it). I didn't exercise while on this diet, so I need to get back into the habit. I was running at 6 in the morning and plan to start back up on Monday.

This was a hard change for me. I love food! Well, junk food anyway. I will say I learned that when I get stressed, I turn to my pantry for what can give me those instant "feel goods." I'm working at turning my attention to something else in moments of crisis. I'm getting better at relaxing and just really thinking about what I'm really doing, being conciuos of my choices.

I still have 2/3 of the way to go, but I'm excited for the challenge. I can almost smell the ocean from the cruiseliner.
