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.

Gettin Skinny with HCG

I've been dealing with my weight for about 7 or 8 years. In 2010 I exercised my fat butt off, lost a ton of weight and felt fabulous. But being in a relationship, being lazy and just never making the time for the gym has caused me to nearly gain back double the pounds that I originally lost. These past months my weight has spiraled out of control and I've gained another 15 pounds!

I don't even recognize myself anymore. I look in the mirror and can't believe its even me looking back. I see pictures of myself and I'm so disgusted. None of my clothes fit, I feel gross and lately I've been having health problems that I'm sure are related to my weight.

I'm ready to kick my butt into gear and lose this weight for good. I'm ready to get my sexy back, my sparkle and just be the real me.

I've tried HCG before, but never finished through. This time I am promising myself to finish. My goal is to complete 2 rounds of HCG and hopefully lose at least 25-30 pounds with it. That will give me great motivation to lose the remaining pounds by making a lifestyle change of eating healthy and exercising.

I'm excited and ready to start this! I still haven't received my HCG but I'm really hoping it comes soon! So for now I have a start date as of Feb 1st.

I hope to share my story, tips for getting through, recipes and find friends along the way. Let's lose this weight together and become the new and fabulous selves we know we can be!
