All Done!

So I finally finished round two of HCG... ugh, that was definitely tougher! I think the problems was I didn't really plan and prep for it. Not that I regret doing it, because it was definitely a learning experience, I just wish I would have taken it more seriously, and done it like I did the first round. I ended up losing another 5 lbs, and a couple more inches, so I can't complain about that. But now I am on stabilization, and this is where I had a hard time the first round. But now I have all the info I need, and I should be good to go. Today, I went to Chili's for lunch with some friends, and just had the Fajita Trio, minus the tortillas. It is possible to go out to eat! High protein, low carb, and good fats. But the best part about today was I started working out again, and enjoyed a protein shake!!! It felt wonderful!!! We go to Hawaii in 2 weeks, so I'm going to hit it really hard with cardio, weights, and 3x a week - P90X Ab Ripper X! And a low carb, high protein diet! We'll see what 2 weeks can really do...

Now back to HCG... I'm kinda sad about my little bro... after he did really well and stabilized, he totally went on a food binge, and has gained most of his weight back!!! This is NOT what HCG is for! If you go back to what your original diet was, you'll gain it all back! Not that you can't enjoy your favorite treats occasionally, just be smart about it! So frustrating to see that... And for all of you out there that read this, part of why I do this is because I too need accountability, so if you notice that I start putting weight back on - LET ME KNOW!!!! I won't be offended - I haven't come this far, or worked this hard to just throw it away, but sometimes it slowly starts creeping back up on you. And the holidays are coming, which is a very difficult time of year for many of us, so don't let me let it go!!! I hope you are all doing well, and are achieving your goals - Happy Losing! :)
