hCG Day 14

As mentioned yesterday, tomorrow will be a hard day and yes, today was a very hard day. I did fine all day long with my diet, except for dinner wie went to the big yellow M. We just surprised the children by doing something they like very much and it does not happen so often.
 
I ordered a Caesar Salad, which I thought was the best choice that I could make. Well, I actually don't know, the kcal was fine, except that there war parmesan cheese in and the 2 pieces of chicken were fried. But as I did not eat till to 4 p.m. o'clock. Had some plain sausages with some mustard and 3-4 bites of watermelon. So I quess, even I had not much I probably had a little more that 500 kcal.

There is something that was very, very good today. I was able to wear a dress to the funeral, that I have never worn before. It is in my closet for the last, a little more than, 5 years. It is from Hugo Boss and Meneer van Duin bought it for me in Alkmaar. Now I truly fit it, even better when I tried it the first time. The occasion was sad, but it was beautiful to wear something special for Jethro, I even pressed my hurt foot in red patent leather shoes, that I ones got from Italy.

 
By the way our Wii broke, and without a scale ( my sister in Vienna got me a nice one Juchuuu)we will see tomorrow, how the results will be and how I will get them.
 
I am tired from all the emotions that ran through me the last 7 days. I am tired from being strong.
 
Tomorrow is always fresh.....

hCG Day 13

I took this morning some time to get motivated again, so I chose to watch and read a little about hCG users! Yes, it worked and I had a good morning and for lunch like so often salad (cucumber, radish, little bit of ham, grüner salad, thymian and salt)  and vitamins, supplements, lots, and lots to drink. My ability to walk is limited and so I had the pleasure to rest int he early afternoon.


I thought about making a video and like so many others to place it on YouTube. The thought is very interesting.

This time the afternoon was very hard for me. I do not know why, but I wanted to eat something so I decided to eat some cottage cheese. In some of the information I read it was considered as OK.
 
Dinner, I am sorry no pic again we had fisch with spinach. Mhmmmmmm very, very good and filling.
 
My feelings are so mixed at the Moment. Sadness, grief also happiness. Tomorrow will be a hard day and I hope I will do fine. We will attend a farwell and funeral, very touchy and special.

So good night, A.-Alexandra

hCG Day 12

I could not weigh myself, so I do not how I stand at the moment. Walking with crutches  and having pain takes much energy. My mood is not the best!
 
For lunch I had a very nice salad again, like almost every day, but this time I ate "again" with my little baby girl a piece fo cake. I am being honest, but I can't say why. after some couple bites, I did not like it and stopped. I took a very, very long nap and felt a little better, than in the evening. Had no appetite the rest of the day and so I just had a little cup of plain soup.

One thing made me very happy today, I got a very nice compliment, about my weight loss! More important I can feel and see that I am on a very good way.

I need to get on track again, otherwise this whole project has no use.

hCG Day 11

A black day for me! I did everything fine all day long till I become very upset with myself! Do you have that? Sometimes we just get upset and then we are finding comfort in food, which is just a grip away.
 
Let me explain. I sprained my left foot, had to drive two hours with the car back home, could not cool it and was overwhelmed by the pain AND I did not eat till late in the afternoon! One other point was, that I did not like my weight in the morning, even I did fine the day before I had more. I wish it would be truly less every single day!
 
As the whole day went different as thought and planned and my husband got us food, a very nice salad with couscous, knowing that i like couscous, I just ate it and as dessert I had a little piece of Birthday cake leftover. The salad was so yummy!

 
 
I got crutches the end of the evening and that made me calm down. I have so much to do for next week, the thought that I am not able to fulfill my chores as I can't walk made me feel so helpless.
 
Tomorrow is always fresh......

hCG Day 10

I am very happy about the compliments I started to get, about my weight loss! Compliments are so important and I treasure them and they keep me going!
 
My scale is a little funny and I do not like it. As you know I weigh myself on the Wii board and on some days it is just way to much, or my loss is way too high. As long I see on my clothing and in the mirror my Body is losing, I am not so worried. But, I have to admit, I do not like it!!!

Some more kg to loose!

hCG Day 9

My daughter's Birthday! She is 1. I did good, when I think about it, because it was hard to keep doing what I am supposed to do with all the ice cream and sweets around me. Swimming was my sport today! I miss swimming and today I got the chance and took it happily!

Dinner was a little hard, my husband cooked and that is always delicious. But there I always did quiet fine with a nice salad. I love salads!


As dinner times are sometimes hard times, I always feed my little girl first. Than the rest of the family is almost finished, that makes it a little easier. ( not always though)
 
Taking the globules got very natural. I do not even have to think about it too much anymore. Just sometimes I forget my vitamins and other supplements.
 
I was not perfect following my hCG diet, but almost! (had a little bit of the birthdaycake and two spoons of the macaroni :))
 
Live is beautiful!

hCG Day 8

After a very restless night, I was a little bit afraid to weigh myself , because of yesterday's sins. To my surprise my weight was fine, I lot again a little and so I was very happy about it. Today one week ago I started with my "filling up days".
 
The measurements from today were good. I actually, like always, expected more. I am doing fine and will go on.
 
 
Because of yesterday's news , organizing help and being there for my friends, I did not had the urge to eat^at all. So I had an apple&orange - day. For dinner, like so often, some salad.


Later this evening a little bowl of champion soup and some nuts. I brought dinner to the mourning parents. And to get them to eat, they have not eaten all day, I ate with them. But, I have to admit, that every single spoon I was feeling a little uncomfortable.
 
I am a little afraid, that I will not succed with my project!

hCG Day 7

I did not write for the last past days, a tragedy happend very close to me. I try to give you all a view about every single day I missed till today!
 
Day 7 was again a very busy day, my wedding anniversary. I woke up with the thought," I need to be strong and eat well!". And I did, till to dinner.
 
Had lot of different things to do, run errands for our vacation which is coming up soon, groceries, finishing a gift for my husband, being a mom and keeping the children busy, happy and at the same time clean, cook etc. It all went well, I drank enough, ate fine, took my globules and vitamins.


Dinner was delicious, but I stole some of french fries with a bit ketchup, had a little tiny bit of if ice, while feeding our baby. So far over the amount of kcal that I should have.



The funny thing is, that in the morning I was writing with my "hCG-friend" about that I always did well so far and never eat more than I should, or different, than it is good. Hahahaha
 
After dinner some terrible news broke into our happy evening. We spend the rest of the time in the hospital with friends that lost their only child through drowning in a lake that afternoon. A sweet little boy was taking with only six years of age.

After a long, long night and finally in bed around 2 a.m. I was happy that I "sinned" and ate more than I should. With only a light small meal I would not have been able to be strong.

Montag, 21. Juli 2014

hCG Day 6

Cancelling dinner yesterday, was not a good idea! Now I know and will never do it again! I lost some more weight, but did not feel so fit this morning. After a "Caro" and my plain yogurt - much better.Today I asked on a hCG-Forum, what they eat for breakfast, or just drink a coffee or tea. One answered saying, an apple and her vitamins. Well, a nice suggestion. Running some errands with my bike and having an apple was good. I felt fine all day long.
 
Japanese salad, was my lunch today, very yummy!
 
 
And I got my favorite turkish drink.
 
 
Courgette and a tiny bit of chicken with salt, thyme and pepper for dinner.


In my role as mother I felt a little easily irritated. I have my 5 children not since yesterday, but it felt like it somehow.
 
Today was also the first day, where I missed to be able to talk to a "hCG fellow"! I am doing this all alone, so I think I have to make some friends!
 
Till tomorrow my invisible readers, A.-Alexandra

hCG Day 5

my first thought this morning was "I am hungry, I need to eat!" it was 6 a.m. and not time to get up, or to eat. It all went well, I took my 5 globules, drank later some water and had a little plain yogurt with my psyllium seeds and not to forget all the vitamins and  supplements. After that I was all fine again. On facebook I found out that there are a lot of hCG groups, most of them are closed ones. Found that very interesting and on two I knocked on!
 
Sundays are somehow heavy days for me, as I am a person who likes to eat and celebrate. Sunday is a celebration for me and than not to have cake, ice-cream or something different yummy or much, is hard. So today the 500 kcal were hard for me. So I thought I celebrate my sunday-lunch with chicken, tomatoes, cucumber and a little tiny bit of feta. Mhmmmm
 
 
 
It was actually too much, so decided to not really eat for dinner. Wasn't hungry either, so I had a tomato. Not to eat is not smart at all, even if you are not hungry. I need to change that and I also need to get myself a digital scale, so I can truly see how many grams each apple, tomatoe, meat etc. has. Tomorrow, is good for that! And I will order "Das hCG Kochbuch"!
 
I still wonder why I feel so good and why I am not extremly hungry? Does that truly come from 5 globules? 

Samstag, 19. Juli 2014

hCG Day 4

I am only 4 days busy with my new "Happy 30 Day's" and I can feel a difference. Amazing!
 
Yesterday, I just needed to sleep after such a hot day and so I wrote "yesterday" today. Which I don't like so much, as I am experiencing already a new day.
 
After weighing myself this morning, I had fun on my Wii board for some time. Happy to see my amount of kg and to feel so fresh. I had 10 g less that on my Day 1. (If that is the reason, why you can eat the first 2 days so much, super!)
 
A sort of routine is starting to kick in by taking globules etc. I am still reading a lot (Anne Hild, Die hCG Diät) at the moment and searching the internet. I can find much in the german speaking sector. in the english sector not so much at the moment, but who knows!
 
I found lovely recipes and read that there is a new cooking book from the author Anne Hild, I think I will get that and try it out. The food that I found so far is always super yummy and actually does not seem to be "diet food" When I think about diet food, I think about "Knäckebrot mit nix" - "Crispbread with nothing"!
 
Hot again, very hot, so for lunch I decided to have a nice fruit salad (two oranges and an apple). I read later this evening that there is a limit to fruit, one or two a day. I had 3, but probably I had 2, because I shared with my litte daughter who loves to eat healthy.


In the afternoon, I spoiled myself with two small tomatoes from my terrace. and some hour later a bigger on, after shopping.
 
Not to forget the loads of water vitamins etc. and an extremly good dinner that Meneer van Duin made. Again, later I found out that for veggies, only one kind at the time and not to mix veggies and salad, sorry. So I had little of veggies, with chicken and salad (cucumber and iceberg lettuce).
 
 
As I was taking a walk today I thought about, what this hCG does and how I feel. I felt my collarbone, it is more out than usual. I love that. I remember when I was still dancing, how I always loved to feel it how it is sticking out a little. Than I thought it is only my second day, how can that be?

We will see, I will see, but for now it is bedtime, A.-Alexandra

hCG Day 3

I felt so good without any headache or other discomfort! Surprising after a hot day with only 500 kcal. Not tired or anything, except I had a little hard time to concentrate in the afternoon. I was not hungry the whole day, actually after the last two days of eating so much, I felt relieved.

This is what I do now for the coming 20 more days.

1. dose of 5 hCG globules
 
weigh myself (which I will do on my Wii every morning in the hope and wish, to train a little bit)
 
For breakfast coffee or tea (for me my "Caro") that's actually it, but it does not seem right for me to not have a real breakfast so I will eat some plain yoghurt to it, I can put my psyllium seed in, or I will drink a little protein shake, if I have no time.
To start the day with an empty tummy, for me a no go!
 
Taking my vitamins, msm, omega3 and psyllium seed (which I do not know, if I will continue as I am a constant guest on the toilet for some time)
 
as a snack in between 100g fruit like an apple, orange or some strawberries
 
2. dose of 5 hCG globules
 
Lunchtime is fun time!
 lovely salad with some chicken, or fish, everything that the sea brings. 
There are so many varieties and they are soooo yummy!
 
in the afternoon again a fruit if wanted or needed
 
3. dose of 5 hCG globules
 
Dinner before 7 p.m. is suggested (mostly not for me)
 
veggies and  100g of meat, or fish, etc. to it. As a desert vitamins, msm and omega 3
 
4. dose of 5 hCG globules (before bedtime)
 
 
So, that is the theory, let me report how I did it today. I started like suggested 5 globules, weight myself, had a little shock, my weight changed so much in 2 days but on the other hand, I truly was sinning. (71,30 kg). But ok, 1 or 2 kg more is fine.
 
As I was working on two shirts and not at all hungry I just had an apple for lunch. It is still so very hot. I had lots and lots of water and felt very fine. In between the amount of globules like suggested.
 
For dinner er had this lovely salad (cucumber, tomatoes, iceberg lettuce and some Beef, seasoned with salt) it was so delicious.
 
 
I did not eat enough I conclude, but I felt fine, so fine and after that package of "Maltesers" yesterday, oh boy, I will not have that for years again.
 
Still I need to get used to, what I can eat in between, but hey, that was my first actual day!
 

I am reading a lot at the moment about the history of the hCG diet. Extremly interesting, I have to say. It all started in the 1930's in Germany at the Heidelberg University with a british endocrinologist named Albert TW Simeons (1900-1970).
 
Day 1 of 500 kcal accomplished. 20 more to go!

hCG Day 2

My night was not peaceful, remember we have a little baby girl and so I had the pleasure to get up some couple times. In the morning she slept peacefully and me too. So I was late and had to rush all morning long, which was not good at all.

I took my 5 globules went to weigh myself and was not hungry. As I had to hurry, I took two nectarines on the way and lots of water and my "bakfiets" with two children to run errands. For lunch I had this
 
 
 
and than we rushed to a wedding reception (more about that on Feel like a Princess) took 5 globules and enjoyed some lovely finger food and lots of water again. Boy, it was sooooo hot, today.
On the way back home I started to not feel good and thought I should eat. I did not eat so much so far. And I did not take my vitamins, which I added after dinner as a desert.
 
Spaghetti Carbonara and cucumber salad for Dinner. Mhmm, the last time carbs for I while I thought and went for a nice walk with the baby and our dog. I got myself something I have not eaten in years "Maltesers". Oh, I had the whole package and did not even feel guilty about it. Weird, not at all guilty!
 
Tomorrow will be the first day with 500 kcal. I found today some lovely recipes on Pinterest and actually I am looking forward to it. This morning I was a little worried and asked myself some questions like:
 
"How will I do with so less food?" "How will my body react to it?" "How will my mood be?" "How will it affect my motherhood?" "Will I be a grumpy wife?" etc.
 
Facebook Friends share their worries, which I appreciate. I am not worried now and I will take good care and see in those 21 very strict days how it will go, how I will feel and will report.
 
So till tomorrow and lovely dreams, A.-Alexandra

hCG Day 1

it is truly starting and I am a little nervous!

My day started by taking the first time 5 of the Gonadotropin C30 homeopathic globules. Leaving them on my tongue as long as possible. My thought was "I am starting a new journey!"
 
As my scale is not working properly, I put on my Wii board and weight myself. Usually it always shows a little more than my scale, but that one is for sure not correct anymore after all the water it was standing in (the boys had a tub-party).
 
These are the results of today's measurements:


Somehow my hCG Day 1 was weird! Weird in that way, as I could eat whatever I wanted - I did not know what I wanted to eat, because I was not hungry at all.

So I started with a kind of breakfast that I did not eat for very, very long. Cereal, oatmeal, banana, nuts, raisins and psyllium with milk. It was yummy but I did not really like it. Mhmmmm


With, or after breakfast like every day my vitamin supplies and in These 30 days they will be very important.

 
In between I snacked nectarines and I tried some of the chocolate, that we got weeks ago. (tasted not good)


Before lunch I took again 5 globuli and about 30 min. later I had a sandwich. I was not hungry again. Not at all, but as I read it is very important to eat lots and lots the first two days, so I do it!


I had to run some errands in the afternoon and took my bike. I did not take it for almost a week. (My achilles heel inflammation was to bad the last days, but today I could not do any different after eating and eating so much.)
 
It was very hot today and I was having the feeling to be a little bit out of balance. On the bicycle I could feel that very strong. Something in me was different, there's something going on.
 
Much water all day, I tried Juice but again did not like it, way to sweet, so water, water, water.
 
Dinner was fun time. We had "Bratwurst" got it from a german store with potato wedges, mustard and ketchup and cheese fondue with Baguette. Before dinner again 5 globuli.
 
And as a desert something I really like, varieties of nuts covered with chocolate. But guess what? It was not yummy, not at all.
 
I am truly questioning myself, what is going on? I do like the food that I chose to eat. Sometimes I am even grieving for it, but today I did not like anything.

Let me shortly explain what is hcg? Hcg stands for human chorionic gonadotropin. The hormone hCG is formed by every person in small amounts in the pituitary and in males in the testes. During pregnancy, the placenta is building it an it is very important for the maintenance of pregnancy.
 
By taking hCG globuli I am actually telling my body a sort of lie. What does natural hCG do. It helps the child to get whatever it needs to survive. So if needed an early unborn will use all the fat cells of the mother to survive. It started in the US States for the "rich and beautiful" by injecting the real hormon to get their figure back again. In Germany the way of homeopathic globules was found where there is no actual hCG hormone in, only the information.
 
And it works, men and women are losing their fat in problem zones. By taking 23 days 3 till 4 times a day 5 hCG globuli eat 2 days very much, to fill the fat reservoirs and have than 21 lean-days with only 500 kcal per day.
 
I heard about it 4-5 months ago and was very sceptical. Got more and more information was still sceptical till a friend of mine started it and I saw how it is working. How she is doing good and truly loosing fat where it is wished. Belly, thighs, hips, upper arms! Amazing!!
 
We will see in the next 29 days how it will be, A.-Alexandra
 

Mittwoch, 16. Juli 2014

Another 30 Days start tomorrow!


 
A package from Germany arrived today and I was so happy that I threw it in the air laughing out loud. I was waiting for that package and thinking if I really, really want to do it and write about it? Yes, I will and I want to let you all know about, what it does to me, how I feel and that again for the next 30 Days!
 
Tomorrow is only 8 more minutes away and I am nervous already. Day 1 and 2 I am allowed to actually eat whatever and how much I like. Much fat and carbs. Ladies and Gentlemen, I am not feeling so good about it, as I was working hard the last 30 Days to loose weight, but I have to. I have to, to lose efficient weight in the coming weeks.
 
So I will get some "sinful food", enjoy and eat with much delight.
 
Tomorrow, I will let you know more about it.
 
Good night, A.-Alexandra

Day 30

is already gone! Like so often it took me some days to write. I truly need to work on my diciplin!

Day 30 was somehow a very weird day. I had incredible pain in my Achilles' tendon and I am still very much in pain. So much that I even avoid using my bike if possible. It was also pouring water the last days and to that I was extremely busy.
 
 

What did I learn from this experiment?

1. I am not truly good in keeping up with an Internet - Group. After the first week I was mostly too late to read the assignments for the day, so I was always a little to late and than did not report as it should be. I also did quickly my own thing.

2. To write in english was somehow difficult, but I learned again a lot. and I am very thankful for that.

3. It worked. I lost weight, my clothes fit better and I lost some cm around my waist. I will definitely do some more.

4. To watch and report what I eat was very helpful, so in that case the group was a big help for me as also you my reader's, whoever you are.

5. With everyday a little - can be changed so much! I always said that to my clients back in my other life in Vienna, as training was so very natural to me and coaching the "Princesses" around me. Now I saw it from another side - the doing-side. Which was very interesting.

6. I definitely learned and got used to drink more, which is very helpful, so thanks!

No more day's to go in this Project, but I have already another one in my mind.
 
There will be some more Happy 30 Day's just wait and see!

Day 29

my tummy was still full from that delicious broccoli soup and so my scale did not show the same weight like the day before. Not amused I must say, not at all amused! But went I went to measure, my smile grew and grew bigger and bigger!
 
Here they are. let's go back to day one, when I took my measurements:




See the diffrence? Incredible! I did good, with all those little sins sometimes and not able to run every day, which I still dislike very much.

Here are some left overs from my lunch, that I could not finish.


In the afternoon, I had some fruit and lots of water during the whole day. Also my bicycle was used like always and so I am in good form.

I had a wonderful day and celebrated healthy a little, in the evening I went out and ate delicious and very light chinese food with Meneer van Duin.

Happy 1 Day to go

Montag, 7. Juli 2014

Day 28

in the early sunny morning I had a little bit of time for myself.



As I got ready for church - what a big surprise as I looked at the scale this morning! I stepped on and of some couple times. It showed a very lovely number under 70 kg. I reached my goal!

After church I am always sooooooo very hungry, so I had some melon, some cooked corn and some more of my lovely nut-bread.
 
I was in such an euphoria, that in the afternoon, I took a little bit of chips and cookies, even some sweets came into my mouth. I should not do that, not at all.
 
Sunday, the day of rest, so no sport and somehow truly relaxing.
 
Dinner served homemade broccoli soup with some nice baguette with herb-butter, but no pic.
 
I need to be careful!

Happy 2 Day's to go

Day 27

what a day was that? I was grumpy all day long! Poor family of mine that dealt with me like that. Grumpy, grumpy, grumpy!!! Why? I do not know, I really don't know!
 
Breakfast went totally fine.


Lunch was not so good anymore. I started healthy, but than I saw those lovely "Semmeln" and I just had to eat one, a little bite of a raisin bread, which became a whole one. That made me even more grumpy. If I do not eat right than I somehow get in trouble with myself. Like to much sugar and also white flour products. That Semmel (roll) was whole wheat but still.
Dinner was fine again.


Inbetween I had a nice skype with my middle sister. And I was starting to feel better, that's truly what sisters are for and I very much appreciate the time she took, so we could talk.

Sport, I took a very long walk with my baby-girl and our dog. That also helped!

On days like that I am thankful for the night, because "tomorrow is always fresh" Anne of Green Gables!

Happy 3 Day's to go

Samstag, 5. Juli 2014

Day 26

I did it, I did it! I did yoga and I felt so fine! Hurra!!!!
 
My day was full and hot. Very hot! When it is that hot I do not really like to eat, except watermelon, but there was none. So I drank two protein shakes, ne for breakfast and one for late lunch. Had some cherries and with my little girl I shared one soft ice after the long shopping tour in the city. In between water, water and more water. I do not know how hot it was, but very hot!
 
 
 
For dinner I made something Austrian. "Faschierte Laibchen mit Tomatensauce und Erdäpfelpüree. Of course with some salad to it. (Minced meat loaf with tomato sauce and mashed potatoes). I do not cook like that very often, so it was a special treat.
 
After bringing the children to bed (till they sleep it is always late) I felt that I had enough energy, so I decided to roll out my yoga mat, take an exercise movie from the internet and get started.
 
Even though I felt inflexible and stiff. It was good and I will do it again!

Happy 4 Days to go

Freitag, 4. Juli 2014

Day 25


my Happy 30 Days are soon over and I am busy with so many other things than myself. I did not do once Yoga, like I wanted. I started to read in a very funny book. Susanne Fröhlich "Der Hund, die Krähe, das Om.... und ich"!  A Yoga-Journal. Will I start tomorrow?

 
Scrambled eggs for breakfast and 2 or 3 spoons of Cornflakes (I truly miss them).

I made a very nice oat flakes-nuts bread. Yummy, very good. A teacher of Elias told me two das ago a very lovely recipe.

 
250 gram oat
3 eggs
200ml milk
nuts a smany you wish
cinnamon
in a cake form
50 min / 170°
in addition a banana or an apple in small pieces to it.
 
Sport was like so many other days B I C Y C L I N G ! About 12 km. Like every Thursday going to the market. You all know know how much I love fruit and veggies. Very, very much!

 
 
For my Thursday-i,pßßLunch with my german-neighbor-girlfriend I brought some very nice salad. Delicious! And we took some of the bread that I made today with some butter. Hmm, but I am not allowed to eat to much. Carbs!!!!!!
 
Dinner went different than planned. A handful of french fries half of a soft ice and later a little bit of the inside of a kebab. I did not like it. Took no bread, shared with my babygirl and gave the rest to my oldest daughter. For desert I took some cherries from the market.
 
Not to forget water, water, water and again water.
 
Happy 5 Days to go!

Day 24


a very long day, nope no 8 hours sleep! About 25 km on my bike today - tired and very good!
 
I had today a doctors appointment about m left heel. The conclusion was that my achilles tendon is inflamed, so no running for me.
 
Breakfast was like the other day leftover mhmm, Lunch as usual, corn waffles, ham, tomatoes, cucumber, cooked egg etc. And I had next to carrots in the afternoon, also 3 or 4 chippies.

 
I made a lovely dinner, but had no time to eat it, so I had a little bowl of cucumber salad with seasonings and a spoon yogurt, oh I almost forgot 2 fish sticks and 2 of  these lovely grid - potatoes.
 

For me was the fish all on top with Feta cheese and spinach. Schade!

I am planning to make an oak-nut-bread.


 
Happy 6 Days to go

Day 23

my feet feel so lovely! Wonderful! I love to have nice smooth feet.

For breakfast I had left over from yesterday. I thought carbs in the morning is better than at lunch time. I am reading a nice book that I got to my 40ies birthday not long ago.
 
Christine Kaufmann, Lebenslust. I fell in love with her and her books when I was 17. Reading about Beauty and how to love your Body......


One topic in her book is about (Flohsamen) psyllium seeds. How they help to clean the intestines. My "Losing weight friend" brought me some from germany last week and I am trying it out. Yes I need to go more often to the toilet, but somehow I feel better. I will keep on doing it.
 
For Dinner I had salad. Just plain salad. I did not want to cook for dinner, so we had chicken, salad and tomato soup with noodles.I did not want to eat the soup. I really would like to lose more weight.
As always I drink much and that helps not to eat so much!

Happy 7 Days to go

Day 22

my scale is broken, or I like to think that! After the very lovely dinner yesterday I did not lose any weight, but actually I do not know. When I step on it, there is always another number displayed. It became wet yesterday night very, very wet (the boys had a water-party) The water run out, so I truly think it is broken. I do not like that, I need a scale!

 
Breakfast did not turn out good. Burned-Dukan-Pancakes. Good Morning! I never thought what BREAKFAST means. Break the fast, in the night we are fasting and as we eat in the morning, than we break the fasting. Aha.
 
 
 
Lunch was that yummy Lasagna than meneer van Duin made. Oh, how I love that. My smallest son and I had all the rest. So for Dinner I was not truly so hungry, so we had Chicken with Rice and a bigger kind of green beans. Liked it, just a little heavy, so I know what I will have tomorrow for lunch.
 
 
 
Workout: Not really just a little, to school and back, but I had a wonderful evening with my pedicure. One hour of relaxation. Well treated feet and nicely painted toenails. Lovely!
 
Happy 8 Days to go

Day 21

I fit one of my favorite dresses. Lalalalala I fit my dress, I fit my dress! Unbelievable! I am so happy, can't say how much! What a week this one was for me and now this!

 
Did not made it to eat in the morning, but took some fruit to church. Which is very helpful! But as I was so happy, nothing mattered!
 
Lunch was wonderful and refeshing.




In between watermelon. Oh, how much I love watermelon. it reminds me of my childhood with my hungarian family. Every summer, I would almost only eat watermelon and play outside.




We had guests tonight and so Meneer van Duin made "Sicilian Lasagna". Without bechamel sauce, but with much cheese, corn, meat, lots ot tomatoes and herbs. Since I know it, it is my favorite!


Our guest from China, brought some chocolate. They of course did not no how tempting that is for me. Very, very, very tempting. I like chocolate, but histamine is not good for me at all. I had a piece of "Apfelstrudel".

Happy 9 Days to go

Day 20

Sun, sun, sun shine on me! Started the day very healthy. Strawberry-Banana Shake. Feel better! Ramadan started today for all my muslim friends.
 


Today I had the chance to work out. Oh, I am so happy when I truly do it. No kids around. Baby sleeping and I have some quiet time for myself. Did not think to take a Picture. 40 min step and boxing, very good for me.
 
Salad for lunch with tuna, olives, almond and much more.


Dinner was so lovely and enjoyable that I forgot to take a pic. We had delicious meet and garnalen from the butcher with again salad, salad, salad.
 
Somehow it was difficult to drink today. Why I don't know, to I made a big can of tea to help me to get my fluid down.
 
Happy 10 Days to go
