Why Working Out Isn’t Making You Skinny
The prevailing notion has long been that regular exercise ramps up our metabolism, helping us to shed pounds faster. At the very least, our metabolism should stay put when we’re exercising, right? Bad news from two new studies. In one, anthropologists studied the Hadza tribe, a hunter-gatherer tribe in Tanzania, to compare their metabolic rate [...]
Learning From the Pros
Today was a clinic day. SOOO amazing! I learned a lot because I came in with several questions. Everyone at the SlimXpress clinic in Glendale is so passionate and excited about all of the options for weight loss that they offer and they have so much knowledge to share. Looking foward to another great week!
Back On Track (Day 15)
It was a little touch and go for me the past few days but I am back on track and ready to rock! Day 15 was wonderful! I didn’t cheat, I stayed focused and really reminded myself that the times I did cheat…I wasn’t even hungry!! Besides losing weight this diet is amazing for helping [...]
Day 14…Confessions
It was sooo tempting to post today that I did great and just skip over the fact that I chose to cheat again today, but my conscious got the best of me. When I started the HCG Diet at the SlimXpress clinic in Glendale I was worried that once I lost my first chunk of [...]
Days 12 & 13
The weekends kick my butt sometimes. I had one of those weekends that was S-L-O-W…where I stayed home all weekend and where my husband cooked the most yummy food. I didn’t stick with it this weekend. My justification (there always seems to be justification…am I right?!) was that my husband got laid off by his [...]
Not Eating IS Cheating
So how often, before the amazing HCG diet, have you looked for a diet where you could/should eat? It is so important to follow the eating schedule that the consultants at the clinic give you. What happens when you dont eat is that you lose weight, but you are losing/burning the wrong kind of fat [...]
Day 10- Testing
I decided to do a little test today to see how I would look if I filmed my tv follow up today by going to film with Extra. I am going to find out when it will be on and post that here later, and if I can find it online I will post a [...]
Day 8
Woo Hoo! Another pound down this morning. One of my absolute favorite things about this diet is the instant gratification! To wake up in the morning after working hard to stay on track all day it is AMAZING to get on the scale and see results! I am super tired today and REALLY battling the [...]
Week 1=Success!
I was by no means perfect this week, but I tried so hard and was REALLY active, which is the only reason I feel like I got the results that I did. Today we headed back from Palo Alto. We stopped for breakfast on the way home and I had an egg, but I was [...]
Day 6
I was determined to do well on this trip but failed right out the gate…not a huge failure…but enough that I am disappointed in myself. This morning was the day of our big event. My company had a booth at a children’s festival. I didn’t bring my shake mix so this morning I had 2 [...]
