New diet

10/18/06

So, I’m starting a week long diet. Yeah, I know that usually people gain back all the weight after a rapid weight loss diet, but it sure would be nice to have that weight taken away. I am trying to loose the last of my baby weight. It would be great to loose it before I got pregnant again. I hope to get pregnant in the next few months, but for now I’ll work hard at loosing weight. Today was day one (of seven) and I was supposed to eat only fruits. I had an avocado for lunch to help me get through the day. I have been hungry almost all day, but it will be good if this works. Tomorrow is only veggies. I’ll start the day with a baked potato. We’ll see how that one goes too. Should be interesting.

My nose ring is out already by the way. It just didn't feel right for me. I liked it though. I had it in for a few days before my boss pulled me aside and asked about it. I thought this was kind of silly because there are several people, one in the same department as I am with nose piercings, but of course I get called out. I should have known better. I can't get away with anything...that's just the way it is for me.

Acupuncture has done nothing for me yet in the way of making ovulation happen. Unfortunately it can take up to six months to regulate someone. I’ll probably just have to go back to that after I have my next child. I don’t want to wait that long. I’d rather get the ball rolling by taking good ole Clomid. I have an appointment in a few weeks with my doctor, so I’ll be asking for this process to commence. I really do enjoy acupuncture though and have an appointment weekly until I have my MD appointment. I have also asked for pressure points to be put in my ear for weight loss. I did loose two pounds in the second week that I had them in. I was told that they help to speed up metabolism. That’s always good.

I was feeling pretty down on Sunday because my sister was talking about her latest (fourth) pregnancy. She is 15 weeks along and thinks the baby might be a boy. She will know for sure in a few weeks. She was telling me the names she has chosen and all that pregnancy excitement stuff and it made me a little jealous. I want those things again.

Day two of my diet and I had a potato for breakfast. That is what the diet said to do, so that’s what I’m doing. For the remainder of the day I am only allowed to eat vegetables. Last night was difficult because at my part time job they had free pizza, chips, cake, etc out on the tables in the break room. I just put my nose in the book I’m reading and ate my watermelon and cantaloupe. I hope today will be a bit easier. I feel a lot better already since I’ve started the day with a potato. I feel pretty full. I am very interested to see if I do loose the weight the diet claims a person should loose while on this diet. I feel like a science project. If the diet does work I’ll take a few days off and then start another week. I am working out in the evenings after my second job to help the process along. I also just feel better after a good work out. I wish I had more time to work out, but I just can’t get myself out of bed earlier in the morning. Oh well, at least I am squeezing some in. It will be nice when I go back to one full time job and I dream of the day I have a child and a part time job. That will be so great.
