Getting There

This month, so far, has been trying. My grandmother passing has really affected me. I lost 5 pounds last week because I wasn't able to eat much. Things have been very stressful.

Moving on. A woman I work with and I were chatting this morning (our internet was down and we had to wait an hour for IT to get us up again) about dieting. I was telling her that my hair stylist is on the HCG diet. We were talking about it and neither of us think it's a very healthy way to lose weight. I mean, how healthy can it be for a person to gorge themselves for 2 days and then limit themselves to 500 calories for a few weeks and repeat? I'm looking into it more to see if there's something I'm missing. I'll keep you posted.

Anyway, our conversation turned to the Mediterranean diet and it prompted me to purchase a book for my kindle. My co-worker already has the book on her iPad (who isn't reading without a kindle or iPad these days?) and she was showing me some of the recipes. So, while we were waiting for an internet connection, I hopped on my cell and purchased it for my kindle. It was $7.99. I haven't really started reading it yet because things have been so chaotic today. If you're interested in reading this book, you can order it from Amazon.com from this post.

Now that I've downloaded the book, my co-worker and I are going to read it together and follow it to see how successful we can be. It's always great to diet with a buddy so you're not bored and you have someone to hold you accountable. Plus, you're always motivated to do your best! If you're interested in purchasing the book, you can do so below.

Well, it's getting on that time when I have to start settling down for the night. 5 am comes too quick these days especially since I've been jumping out of bed at 4:30 thinking I've overslept! If you have any information, thoughts, or opinions you'd like to share with me about the HCG diet, don't hesitate to comment or email me. I'd love to hear from you! Have a great night!
