I confess, I really miss my butt. I think it has been declining for a while now, but this diet has really emphasized just how much. And by declining I don’t mean going away – I mean sinking. Oh yes, it’s still there – just lower and flatter than before. I hate aging! Yes, I know – how self-absorbed can I get? So this is my last HCG Diet post for the year and then I’ll start obsessing over education for my brainiac boy (more on that later).
HCG Diet Update: OK, so I’m one day short of 2 months since I finished Phase 1 of the HCG diet. I was 130.8 on that day and this morning I was 131.6. I’ve bounced back as high as 135 (for maybe a day), but for the most part I’ve stayed within a 3 pound range of my low. I’m exercising again and back to feeling strong during my workouts (I was a little weak when I first started back). So I’m going to call the diet a success.
My only regret is that I didn’t stay on it a little longer and lose the rest of the weight I wanted to get off – 5 more pounds would have made a huge difference. My plan is to run in a half marathon this winter and if I still haven’t taken those last few pounds (well, body fat really) off by the time I complete the race, I’ll go back on the diet for a couple of weeks.
So that’s it on the HCG diet for the year unless anyone has any questions. My latest obsession is education for my sons. The oldest is in his last year at his current school (5th grade) so we have to go through the stress of finding a new one for middle school. And my youngest is showing signs of being freakishly smart so I think he may need a new school too. I know these don’t sound like real problems, but I’ve seen how bad educational decisions can affect kids later in life – especially if they are not challenged enough. So, coming soon will be a series of posts on adventures in choosing the right school – stay tuned….
