It’s the 4th. One day closer. My goal today is to get a new scale and make sure I can find my food scale. This will be a very important part of this process. I’ve been thinking about what I want to do for my birthday, the 8th. I’m eating light until then. Then I will enjoy the day.
Waiting for the call from the doctors office about when to come in and get my kit. Excited.
Today and tomorrow I will work on meal planning. Saturday I will do my grocery shopping.
I also need to have Spencer take some photos of me so that I can have a before and after. They won’t be pretty, but they need to be done.
Signing off for now.
Well hell. I went and bought a scale. And it doesn’t work. Says I weigh 174. I wish. So, tomorrow I will have to go return it. Dayum.
It’s 11:00 pm and I’m just home from work. Bought an organizer today, with big enough date pages to put my menues and extra stuff. Got it filled out as much as possible.
I need to call the doctors office in the am and see when I can get my kit? Yay. Can’t wait.
I was going to keep this secret, but decided to go public. If folks know that I’m doing this, I think that I will be less tempted to stray from the protocol. And this way, people can feel free to support me. Night~Night

Okay, so I went to my appointment this morning. Absolutely adore the staff and the doctor. She is very sweet and easy to talk to. The office is very spa/zen like. Not only does Dr Bardisa practice family medicine, but she specializes in total well being and longevity.
I went in and paid the $250 for the consultation. They weighed and took measurement. GAWD…..254 and I didn’t even ask about my measurements. Then they drew blood, lots of it. The bloodwork will check everything, vitamins, nutrients, hormones, sugar, etc. A complete profile. They also took a urine sample.
Next, I was put in a room to wait for the Dr. Dr. Bardisa came in and introduced herself. Very pleasant, down to earth.
She discussed my habits, lifestyle, things I like, what I do. It was very personal and I like that.
She then explained the diet in detail. And I asked questions about the diet and my diabetes and celiac. She actually said that this is the perfect diet for me as it have little carbs.
Day 1 load-eat whatever I want as much as I want plus 1 HCG injection
After that:
1 HCG self-injection in the am and a very low calorie diet (VLCD) only 500 calories. That’s not very much, but I am so ready and so committed. I’m going to give it 500%.
Back to the reception desk to pay the balance of the $695. But, it just so happened, that they were running a 10% off new year sale. YAY for me. I was given a grocery/food list to get an idea of what I need. The list is sparse, but I actually prefer a diet with very little options. I was told that on Thursday, I will return to the office to receive my “kit” which includes instructions and the HCG injections. There is also a class available that day. This weekend will be my loading weekend. On Sunday, along with loading I will administer my first shot. I’m so excited and cant wait to get started. This is my year.
My plan later this evening is to look up all the calories on the items so that I can make menu options.
Til later……….
Okay, it’ midnight and I have just finished attaching calorie counts to all of the menu items. Happy there aren’t that many. Now I can start to make some menues. I want to be fully prepared for this programs. I’m dedicated. Whoohoo. Can’t wait to find my waist!

It’sd Monday morning and I just made my consultation appointment with the doctor, Rosalind Bardisa. 830am tomorrow. I was informed of the cost of the 2 programs, 21 day is $395, 40day is $695. It’s all good and I’m worth it. I figure that I don’t go out to get mani/pedis . I don’t go out. I don’t buy clothes (because I get frustrated in dressing rooms) I don’t carry around purses that cost as much as my mortgage. So this is where I have decided to spend my money (but thank God for good jewelry sales over the holidays) So I think I will do the 42 day plan. I have a lot to lose and if this works, it will be a great jump start and motivator for me.
Excited about tomorrow.
Off to do more research.

Well it’s a new year and, of course, I have resolutions. I also turn 50 this week. A major milestone for anyone. I have decided after a half a century of giving, I was going to take a few things back and focus on myself. First order of business is to remove myself from a very toxic relationship. I did that. That already beng done, my priority is to lose weight and be healthy. I have been heavy all my life. Sometimes a lot heavier sometimes thinner, but NEVER thin. I’m there right now and I don’t like it. Having all this extra weight on me affects the way people look at me and treat me. I also affects the way I look at myself. The slam dunk for me was getting ready for a New Years Eve party. I was standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, applying my makeup. This adage kept scrolling through my head. “YOU CAN PUT LIPSTICK ON A PIG, BUT IT’S STILL A PIG. That’s how I felt. Needless to say, I didn’t go out on New Years Eve. No amount of makeup, hair gel and black clothing was going to make me look good. That…..was my breaking point. Tired of people judging me. Tired of being told, “you have such a pretty face” or “you have the greatest personality” All those statements really mean is YOUR FAT. There are 1000 wonderful things about me as a woman. I’m tired of men not taking the time to look beyond “the package” which is my chubby self.
I’m taking control. Starting today. This blog started as a personal journal on my pc. But I decided to share this with others. Besides, it's much harder to fail when the whole world is watching.
A coworker of mine walked by me. WOW. She looked amazing. I asked her how she did it and she told me the HCG diet. I’d heard of it before, even considered it. But seeing her results. I’m stoked. I will be calling the Doctor she recommended tomorrow. (it’s Sunday or I would have called today) off to do research.
It’s a new dawn…It’s a new day….It’s a new life. And I’m feeling Good!
