Oddly enough, I'm SO excited my period has arrived right on time!! This means, I can start my HCG injections in a few days. Wow. There IS an end in sight! Yes, I'm super happy right now.
Tomorrow afternoon I meet with Dr. Purcell for the first time. I am really looking forward to getting the entire low down on what my life will be like for the next 21-28 days on my journey. For some reason, I'm not freaking out about the minimal amount of food I will be consuming. I am freaking out more about the fact that I cannot wear ANY lotion on my body- anywhere!! The thought of dry skin, well, makes my skin crawl.
I really, truly am beyond ready to get this extra "junk" off my body, once and for all. Again, not a huge amount, but if I can lose 20 pounds, and then from there start back up with my half marathon training. Get back into yoga once a week. Even try one of the new classes I learned about from Treva- I will be good to go, and then some. I feel then, I won't want to put the occasional "white" bread back into my "clean", and lean body. I'm also looking forward to getting my energy back. It's pretty life-sucking to be in a constant state of "I'm completely grossed out by my body".
I will officially weight myself tomorrow morning, first thing. Take a few photos for the typical "before" and "after" images. And away we go.
Deep breath... I can do this!!!
Go Jody! I think you look wonderful now....but if you will be happier 20lbs lighter, then go for it.I am excited to hear all about it.
