So I am still on my P90X trip, and can't wait to begin my journey with it and get into shape. Esp. after I have my beautiful son. And i mentioned in one of my previous blogs how i was introduced to HCG diet and look forward to exploring it. well you can't do HCG while breast feeding, which I have every intention to do for my son. However, I don't think P90X will not be enough on it's on to hit some of the goals I have, with the baby weight and the previous weight. the good thing is I am still decently under my heaviest weight from when I started the journey.
My current short term goal is to loose 30 pounds in the first 3 months post pregnancy. Then to loose another 30 pounds by the end of the year 2011, making my total lost 60 pounds lost by new years. then loose another 10 pounds by my birthday, which hopefully that will get me to the 170's or less by my b-day. Then i will have 51 pounds left to tackle thereafter to reach my ultimate goal, that i will also set up in short-term goals. I know P90X can give amazing results dropping anywhere from 15-30 pounds lost in the 90 day program, but i will also be battlling baby weight and bad eating habbits.
So P90X new friend will be Lishou, an amazing chinese weight-loss capsule that can aid you to loose 20 pounds in 1 month. I am not looking for that much of a dramatic drop in that short of time, but i believe it will help me get where I need to be.........Wish Me Luck!! :)

a little sad, but it's best
Today was my doctors appointment, as of march 23, 2011 I am 241. i gained 6 pounds since my last vist 2 weeks ago at 235. im a little sad, but i know it's all in my belly, and healthy for the baby.For those who think, " your pregnant stop stressing over the weight, this is when you can cut loose". I completely disagree, and i am still in the mind set of when i first found out i was pregnant and was motivated on my weight loss journey. i made a concious decision to not let myself get to the point of no return. plus I didn't want my son coming out addictied to this crap. Also my eating habbits weren't the best these last couple weeks. I wasn't taking in as much water as I should, my veggi intake was nonexistant, i barely had any good protiens like fish and chicken. My portion sizes have been fluxuating. sometimes i eat more than i thought i would and others i got full off a nibble. It is what it is and i am close to my due date and will be focusing on my upcoming birth and just making sure my sons healthy.

Current Plans HCG and P90X
Okay as the title says this will be all about my plans with P90Xed with and HCG Protocol. I am super excited with my upcoming future with P90X. and through my constant youtubeing i discovered a diet by the name of HCG
Now HCG is mostly known as a hormone that increases during pregnancy, but many don't know how it exactly works besided showing up on pregnancy test. from what i read so far this hormone actually act as a back up for you and your baby to activate stored fat for more energy and health. The basic weight loss knowledge is eat more loose more. take in a certain amount of calories per day, and eat 5-6 times a day your metabolism will increase and burn faster. the faster your metabolism the less fat stored. The HCG diet is almost an opposite and contradiction to the rules. while taking the HCG you take no more than 500 calories ,per day for an extended period of time. but before that time you are suppose to load up on fat and there are 3phases for each round. this is my understanding so far, I still have to purchase the book and everything else before i know exactly how it works. but basically you could loose anywhere from .5 lbs to 5lbs per day. 1-3 pounds being the average.
However, as awsome as this diet sounds and have proven to be for those who have done it i wont be doing it for a while. Reason being you can't do it while pregnant, which i wouldn't either way, and you can't do it while breastfeeding. To me the health of my son is the most important thing and with breastfeeding I can give him the best nutients and health. so i wouldn't be looking at the HCG for at least 8 months after my son is born. That being the case I figured i will utilize P90X during those months to reach my first goal weight, which is 160 pounds. and then use the HCG to knock out the last 40 pounds out. Hopefully to reach my final goal my weight loss will go through 5 phases.
Phase 1
Phase 2
-weight loss expectation 50-45 pounds lost

UPdate It's been a while
so it's been quite some time and of course a lot has changed. Therefore, all of my prior plans will be altered. Even though I am pregnant that hasn't put a complete hault to my weight-loss as I thought it would. As you know I was originally 264 pounds my heaviest I have ever been in my life. the first heaviest I had toped was 209 and that was in highschool my junior year I believe. I quickly dropped from that weight which was a size 16 slightly snug, to an forsure size 12, snug size 10. I stayed at that weight until i finished highschool. i went up to a 15/16 for a good 2 years and before i knew i couldn't fit any of my clothes i purchase in the the winter of 2009 in the winter/summer of 2010. I wieghed myself for the first time in 2 years and discly aover i was 264lbs, and that was in summer of 2010.
I am currently at 235 as of last week, and i have a doctors appointment tomorrow march 23rd and i will know my official current weight. thats a total weight loss of 29 pounds,and it was all through the change of healthier eating. I am super motivated to work the rest off and hit my goal of 120 pounds, 115 pounds to go.
