Day 28

Okay it's Day 28th! 


Skip a few days was very sick :( Nothing to do with the diet... the diet is great! I have 2 little germy girls that brought me home a cold for Mother's Day :( It's not their fault I'm just joking!!! Anyways, I'm starting to feel much better! 


So Friday I had a little cheat day before I went to see The Blue Man Group at the Fisher which was pretty good. Our seats weren't the greatest but they were okay for the price we paid. 


On Saturday I started my Mother's Day Weekend not being on the diet so much. I was doing well until my nephew's birthday party and had a bite of icecream cake and a Brat... Oh well I got weak! 


On Sunday I knew all diets were off but I still remained on the good side until the taco salad and burger :) I also drank coffee in the morning :) 


I figured I'd get it over with and step on the scale this morning... I gained 2 lbs... I was expecting 5 so 2 was a blessing! So I lost 4 last week then gained 2 so I still lost 2 so far. I don't think Andre will be happy on Friday but what can I say it was Mother's Day! 


Now here we go again on the strict diet... today is Milk day... So far just tea and honey... not so bad :) I'm glad to be back on track. I know it's going to be a struggle for a couple days to resist temptation since it's always bad after a "cheat" day. 


I'm trying to lose 10 lbs this next weight in so I need to lose 8 in 4-1/2 days... my appt is Friday at 3:30. Not sure it's do-able but I will sure try. 


My total so far:


First 12 days: 12 lbs
Next 10 days: 3 lbs


Total = 15 lbs in 22 days


Not too shabby!

Day 23

Okay so I can't count today is actually Day 23... 


I have a bit of a head cold or maybe it's allergies :( I haven't been good about drinking my tea and honey today... been in a lot of meetings plus I ran out of honey here at work :( 


Today I ate cucumbers and watermelon for lunch... I know how boring is that! I'm loving the sea salt though :) Yesterday was pretty boring too... 


So I plan on going out to dinner with my mom and my girls on Sunday for Mother's Day. I was already informed by my Mother that I will not be on my diet that day... we are taking a break for Mother's Day. I'm a little nervous about that since I only lost 3 lbs the last 10 days which included my cheat day. Maybe if I schedule more exercise in there it won't be so bad! LOL.


I'm overall feeling very well on this diet! No more getting sleepy during the day and I have a lot of energy :) I do think I can manage to keep eating this way more fruits and veggie no more starch! 


I haven't tried any of the recipes yet but I'm going to next week! The milk, ice, honey, Cinnamon and vanilla sounds really good all blended up! Maybe I will try that tomorrow.


Back to milk days for 2 days... those milk days are getting easier and easier! It's so nice not having to think about what to eat!!!

Day 21

Yesterday was weigh in day... I started off with eating a mango and cucumbers for lunch at about 11:30ish. At 3:30 I weighed in and only lost 3 lbs :( Kind of a bummer but he said he was only expecting 5 lbs so that wasn't so bad. I really didn't like the position of my balls that time so hopefully that one I don't get for a while again. This new position is pretty awesome right away I did feel different... it's amazing these little balls and the many different pressure points! Anyways, went home walked the dog... took a bike ride to turn in a movie at Red Box... walked the dog some more then went home to drink more tea and NOT think about eating :( 

Today I woke up with a sore throat :( Today is veggie day and I don't even feel like eating :( I have an avocado, onions and tomatoes to make guacamole. YUM. Oh and I'll put it on lettuce like a wrap... very delicious and light :) Nothing new and exciting to report...

So far it's been 21 days and I lost a total of 15 lbs... not too shabby :) 

Day 18

Okay it's Day 18 and I kindda feel bummed. Jumped on the scale this morning and I think I only lost 4 lbs... I was hoping for a little more :( I weight in on Monday but I don't think I lost that much... I guess my clothes do feel a little looser but not such a big difference. I still should be happy but it's been that kind of week for me. 


So I woke up late this morning and was a little hungry because I didn't do my rotation right when I got up like I usually do. Now I feel fine after a couple rotations and tea with honey.


The spaghetti squash turned about really good! I put the tomato sauce on it but I could of ate it just with the spinach on it instead... very tasty even plain! I am definitely going to make that again!


So it's another milk day... I really don't feel like drinking milk today. I put some in my tea this morning which is always a plus but the thought of drinking 16 oz at lunch just doesn't sound good to me today. 


I suppose I just feel a little under the weather... I woke up with a very sore throat... I hope I'm not getting sick :( I'm hoping it's just allergies from the weather getting warn again. Sucks because when I don't feel well all I want to do is eat! 

Day 17

Thursday Day17...

I made spaghetti squash last night for lunch today... So I put it in the microwave first after trying to cut it since it was so hard. A few minutes on high and it was easy to cut, so I cut it in half and then half again. I cooked it in the oven on 375 for about an hour. For the sauce I used spicy J8 juice and spinach... I hope it's good! 

Yesterday for lunch I had guacamole (avocado, tomatoes, onion and cilantro) wrapped in lettuce. It was really good! I won't lie I do miss the greasy tortilla chips! 

Today I'm not really that hungry at all. I just have no desire to eat which is good :) I can't wait to try the spaghetti squash! It looked really good and was very easy to make! 

Well I stepped on the scale this morning again... I don't know why I like to torture myself so early in the morning... looks like from last weigh in I only lost 4 lbs :( Probably because I cheated on Saturday :( Well I guess it's better than nothing! I don't weigh in till Monday so I'm trying to be perfect until then so I can make up for it!!! 

Back to milk tomorrow and Saturday! Saturday will be he first weekend milk day for me... I'm kind of nervous about that! I might just have to get creative and blend some milk with vanilla, honey and cinnamon. Maybe throw in some ice and make it like a vanilla smoothie. Or I can brew some decaf coffee and make a vanilla latte. Okay maybe this won't be that bad!

Day 16

Day 16 already :) Well it really doesn't seem like I've been on this diet for that long! The scale is deceiving me lately... this morning at first it said I gained 1 pound then it said I lost 3... 


Opps forgot to finish this yesterday :) 

Day 15

So Friday (Day 11) went very well!!! I am officially weighted in 12 lbs lighter!!! Whoo hoo. I got new placement for my balls so this time he said I might not lose as much weight but should see inches instead :) Can't wait to fit into my clothes again!

I am so loving this diet! It's awesome. 

Saturday (Day 12) was a little difficult but I made it through without too bad of a cheat. I had a charity function so I had to do a scheduled cheat day :) No it's not part of the diet but I wrote it in :)

Sunday (Day 13) I was paying for the cheat! My stomach was not happy (if you know what I mean).  But again made it through the day :) A little tired today but I think it was from my cheat day yesterday... 

Monday (Day 14) was back to work... milk day... boring. I figured I would be hungrier after my cheat but it hasn't been too bad. Sunday I was craving more food than today. I'm not as tired as I was yesterday... it's been really rainy so I think it's more mood than actually being tired. 

So here we are Tuesday (Day 15). Wow half way done with a 30 day cycle... I'm pretty sure I will need more than 30 days to be at my goal weight. I stepped on the scale for the first time since my cheat day and I lost 3 lbs! So if that's right I will be closer to 15 lbs lighter!!! My clothes are fitting  little looser so that's always a plus. 

Really loving this diet! It's awesome and really it's not hard to do. After seeing the results you get motivated!!!

Day 11

Here we are at Day 11! Time to weight in today at 3:30 plus it's another milk day...

Yesterday was a tempting evening... the girls had a school function which they had Little Caesar's pizza! OMG did it smell so good! plus my kids don't eat the crust so it was just sitting there right in front of me! It took all of my resistance but I managed to get up and throw it away as soon as they were done!!! Watching everyone eat pizza and not eat anything myself (it was after 6:00) was pure torture! But I did it and I'm happy for it today!

I'm hoping for a good result today at the weight in... I think it's somewhere between 10-15 lbs which is great for 11 days!!! I was shooting for 19 lbs which would be 10% but under the circumstances (TOM) I will be happy with 5 to 8%.

So far on Veggies days I was eating Cabbage, tomatoes and carrots. This weekend I think I will switch it up a little and go for a salad. Maybe Lettuce, avocado and pears... kind of like a lettuce wrap...

Day 10

Wow! I can't believe it's been 10 days already :) It's really getting easier every day. I don't feel hungry at all anymore... and I stopped having the urge to eat even though I wasn't hungry. I never thought that would happen... I always wanted to eat or at least always thought about eating. 

Yesterday I had cabbage soup again after work and guess what's for lunch??? LOL, yep cabbage soup :) This weekend I will change it up a little. 

So tomorrow I will go for my new ball placement and find out the true amount I lost! I'm excited to see how much... I think so far it's around 12-13 lbs. I was trying for around 15 lbs but I don't think it will be that much. 

This weekend will be the true test of willpower... I have a charity casino trip to help with on Saturday and my nieces b-day party Sunday. I'm planning the events in my head so I don't cheat :) At least it will be veggie days so I can eat something and have red wine! 

Day 9

I made it to Day 9 without one cheat! So far I lost about 13 lbs... the real results will come Friday.


Yesterday was extremely hard... it was a milk day... after work my girls made pizzas for dinner and it took all of me not to take one little bite but I resisted! With the help of the rotations plus the tea & honey I was able to get through it :) Then of course a pizza hut commercial came on with the cheese bite pizza which almost made me cry. I love cheese, that's my addiction! But I'm being strong... the longer on the diet the easier with the temptations... at least that's what a good friend of mine keeps saying. I hope she wouldn't lie to me :) lol.


So here I am Day 9... veggie day! I can eat today!!! YEAH. Of course I brought left over cabbage soup from the weekend. Next week I promised myself to mix it up a little with different fruits and veggies. 


I've found some really delicious green and white tea's from Lipton too that has helped a lot. I get sick of drinking just plan green tea so I found Pineapple, mango, and tangerine flavors. They taste great with the honey especially... gives it just enough sweetness. 


Still haven't felt tired or extremely hungry. I get a little hungry around rotation times which is a good reminder but as soon as I rotate them I feel fine. The hunger is never unbearable like I've experienced before. 

Day 8

Here we are at day 8! 


Milk day went well yesterday... was a little hungry when I got home but I had some tea with honey and felt better. I had to cook dinner for my kids which is getting easier every time I do. I don't really get the urge to cheat anymore... no more cravings :) I have so much more energy too! we walked to the pond to feed the ducks and even went for a bike ride. I love how much energy I have... I just feel so much better. 


Woke up this morning and can't get over the fact I'm not hungry! Wow it just amazes me how this really does work like they said it would. I really do love it. So I'm down I think around 12 lbs total... my scale isn't very reliable but should be somewhere around that... we will see Friday. 


Milk day again so today at lunch I had my 16 oz. I can have the other 4 oz at home later... whoo hoo. Girls are making pizzas tonight for their dinner so lets see how much torture I can handle :) 


Tomorrow back to veggie and fruit day so more cabbage soup for me! Yum. Can't wait to actually eat something again... I like milk days but I love to eat! 


So far this diet has been great... I feel so much better on it then I did on the HCG diet. I have so much more willpower but I owe alot to not being hungry and tired. It's really affordable and really easy to follow... I'm really liking it :) 

Day 7

It's Day 7! It's been a week :) I'm down 10 lbs so far!!!! YEAH!

A little recap...

Friday was a little hard, 2nd milk day and my stomach wasn't too happy :( I think I need to get use to the whole milk... I made some onion soup Friday night which helped. (I think that was okay with the diet????) Still not hungry :)

Saturday morning woke up feeling great! I decided to make cabbage soup since I was out in the cold watching my girls soccer game. First I sauteed the onions then put in the tomatoes... let that simmer for awhile then the cabbage and water... plus as many spices I could find... it was really tasty. I had to work Saturday night at Mt Brighton (or the Jackal in the summer) so that was a little hard to see all that yummy food I wouldn't think twice about eating before. The hardest was the cheese platter! I love cheese... of everything that is what I miss the most!!! I thankfully resisted... I did have a half a cup of coffee which would have been okay if it was decaf. Overall a good day and not hungry at all! I don't even have the urge to cheat which is wonderful.

Sunday was a good morning... got up had tea... at noon I had some of the yummy left over soup. Cleaned house... still not hungry... didn't have any desire to eat anything :) Awesome! Even when I wasn't doing anything but sitting watching TV all I needed was the tea and I was fine. I ended the day with a glass of red wine to celebrate my success... my first weekend without cheating!

Now it's Monday Day 7... milk day again... kind of wearing on how my stomach will react :( So far I'm still not hungry and I pretty much don't have any overpowering cravings.

This diet is truly amazing! I feel great, full of energy too! I am really impressed... I'm liking it for sure!

Day 3

Day 3!!! First milk day!


First of all yesterday went well... I had my cabbage, carrots and green apple salad. I came to a conclusion I don't really care for raw cabbage so next veggie day I am going to make boiled cabbage. I don't really have to stick with cabbage, carrots and green apples but I friend told me, who's been on the diet, it's best for the first 10 days. It's also best to eat raw fruits and veggies but I figured cooking one out of three shouldn't be too bad!

Anyways, energy level wasn't too bad considering lack of sleep... today is much better :) 


So here we are day 3! I woke up not feeling hungry one bit also went to bed not feeling hungry! YES! I got a little rumble in the tummy earlier today but after the rotations plus some tea and honey I feel great. The best part of this diet I don't even want to cheat! It's amazing what the brain can do. I brought 10 oz of milk in for lunch and have about 10 oz at home to make a milk and honey smoothie when I get home... the other 2 oz I have been adding to my tea... 


So far I'm so liking the milk day :) It's easy and I seriously don't have the desire to eat. 


Anyone debating on trying this diet really should... it's amazing! I usually don't have much will-power but I'm determined to make this work. Not being hungry is the key to making this a success otherwise I would be stopping at Taco Bell after work :) 


BTW, I stepped on the scale this morning I lost 5 lbs in 3 days! That is truly the motivation there!

Day 2

Good morning! 


Yesterday was okay... I had some hunger but nothing that was horrible... no hunger pains which I appreciate! I didn't get home from work till after 6pm so I wasn't able to eat dinner :( Not that big of a deal I think I just missed eating more than being hungry. 


Now it's DAY 2! I woke up this morning around 5:30... a little tired but it's expected when you stay up to watch the RedWings lose :( 


So today for lunch I'm sticking with the cabbage, carrots and green apples. (I know boring!) but I want to be super good for the first week! I can't wait for milk day tomorrow... lol. 


Tomorrow should be no hunger at all or at least that's what I hear... I'll be the judge of that!!! Right now felling a little bit hungry... time for some more tea... I have to admit kindda getting sick of tea!!! 

Day 1

Okay it's officially day 1! 


The appt went well yesterday... first I watched a video then I got my balls... I was a little hungry when I went since it was after work and usually I grab a small snack before dinner... after that no more eating for the rest of the day except tea & honey. We got out of there around 4ish and I had my first rotation at 5:00. I decided I better go shopping to keep my mind off eating... it was a good idea until I got around all the food!!! So I ventured home and started preparing food for the next day.  Rotated balls again at 7:00 then took the dog for a short walk. Felt a little hungry but nothing I couldn't bear. The worst part was thinking about eating... I don't think I was that hungry just wanted to eat! I had another rotation at 9:00 and was feeling hungry but again nothing to unbearable. I went to bed around 10:30... a little hungry but stomach wasn't growling... 


So here we are Tuesday DAY ONE :) 


Well, I woke up around 6:30 not hungry at all! Wow that's amazing! I started drinking tea with honey right away afraid the hunger would start but it really didn't. I rotated again around 7:00... still not very hungry... now it's 9:30 I just rotated them at 9:00 and now I'm feeling a little hunger. Not horrible hunger but enough that I would normally eat a snack like an apple or something. I'm thinking about lunch! Time for some more tea... 


Now it's 10:30... 1/2 hour till my next rotation and I am feeling hungry but not really hunger pains... I'm going to drink more tea & honey until lunchtime. Lunch today is cabbage, carrots and green apples. Kind of like coleslaw but with lemon & honey as the dressing plus a little Ms Dash for some seasoning. 


To my amazement I'm not tired at all! I usually wake up tired until I drink a couple cups of coffee but today was different. I tried the HCG diet and felt tired all the time so I was waiting to have the same feeling return but it isn't. I actually have energy :) 


So far I am very impressed...  

Starting day!

A little about myself... I'm a mother of two awesome girls ages 6 and 8... I'm 5'5" and 190 lbs... wow that's the first time I wrote it and it hurts :( My goal is to lose 50 lbs so it might take a couple months but I'm ready!

I'm starting the Sadkhin complex today after many other attempts with "fad" diets that have failed! I need a change! I have been feeling run down and just not motivated so here goes... wish me luck :)

My apt is at 3:30 where I get little balls placed behind my ear... I'm very nervous but very excited too!!!
