Working out on the HCG Diet

According to the USPS tracker online, my shipment should be in the mail waiting for me this afternoon. Yay, so excited!  I'm still planning for a Feb 1st start date though.

I felt like I needed to do something today though so I decided to spend some time on the elliptical. I am so out of shape; its pathetic! But I did it and I'm proud of myself.

I actually plan on doing light exercise while taking HCG as well.

In my last attempt of the HCG diet, I did 30 minutes of light cardio (walking, slow elliptical, leisure bike ride) 5 times a week, but sometimes switching it up with some toning exercises (squats, crunches, push-ups). If I was hungry on the days I worked out, I would add egg whites for additional protein. That worked for me and didn't get me off track so that's what I am planning again. 

My ultimate goal is to start getting into running again so I think its really important to begin a work-out regimen and slowly build myself back up. You definitely don't want to do any heavy cardio or weights while on HCG and a 500 calorie diet though! So keep it light and listen to your body.

Xoxo,
Crystal
