Going Private

Ok, so I'm slow on this thing, but I'm about to get better.
And if you want to read our juicy life stories, send an email to gileswhanau@gmail.com because we are going private !

HCG Week 3

Well, yesterday was my last day actually taking the HCG, but I still have to do the 500 calorie no fat, carbs or sugar thing for 3 days just til all the HCG is out of my system.


So I lost a total of 25 pounds .. a bunch of inches everywhere.

I am by no means skinny, but I feel a TON (literally) better.


I've had more energy, and enjoyed watching the scales go down each morning.


For the next 3 weeks I am on Atkins, and supposedly I am going to learn how to be able to eat whatever I want, without gaining weight, but we will test that theory I'm sure.

For now though, I'm excited to use lotion, my skin is disgustingly dry and cracked.
Definitely worth it though ..23 days, 25 pounds down ... sweet.

Week 2 HCG

Down 19.5 pounds .. I think most of it is the baby weight coz its pretty hard to lose some of that stomach weight after a C-Section ..

Feeling good, any-one who decides to do it, do it.
Its well worth it!

One more week to go

Week 1 on HCG

Only 1 week has passed and this diet is alot easier than I thought it would be.
I can eat 3.5 oz of chicken or steak twice a day, load up on greens and I can have strawberries, apples, grapefruit.
I've noticed that sometimes when I think I'm hungry, I'll have a hot drink and then I'm not hungry.
I wonder how many times I've thought I was hungry and a hot drink would have been enough .. curious.
I'm down 13 pounds, and lost a bunch of inches, only 50 pounds to go !
2 more weeks to go, hopefully it will go the same.

HCG and me

Okay, so after much deliberation, I started the HCG diet.
For those of you who dont know what it is .. google it.

I am doing a 23 day diet, and I'm not doing the shots, I'm doing it sublingually .. which means I take .5 mls under my tongue in the morning and at night.

Today is day number two and its the day I have to eat as much as physically possible.
I have to say, it is one of the hardest things to do, and I feel sick !
The diet says to eat as much as you can, carbs, sugars, high fat content, you name it.
Its hard though, to eat that much.

Starting Monday, I am on a pretty strict 500 calorie diet for the next 21 days.

So I am going to try and blog about it.

Yesterday I ate pretty much everything in sight, today, I'm trying .. we will see how it goes.

Koa Bear

Koa is our sweet smiley little boy.

He has a bit of a sensitive stomach and throws up quite a bit, Uncle Harris likes to call him PUKE-KANA ...

He is always smiling, mostly happy, and Mana loves him.

We havent had any issues with Mana being jealous of Koa .. yet.

Koa can't sit up yet, but he rolls like a maniac.

He falls asleep when hes tired, hes a big sleeper.

Koa is a Metekingi .. he sleeps with his eyes slightly open .. Stephen thinks its creepy, I'm used to it and I think its hilarious.

He eats a ton and hes a solid round little boy.

He is a big thumb sucker.

I love my baby boy.

Nasty Ear Infection

A couple of weeks ago Mana got a pretty nasty ear infection.

It looked alot worse than it was, but it was pretty ugly looking.

He didnt complain, he just got really quiet, thats how we can tell when hes not feeling well.

All he wanted to do was watch Madagascar 2, so he did.
