New Year, New Me!

We spent our new year with great friends, some great food, and great drinks. Knowing Im not pregnant made for a good relaxing holiday weekend. DH and myself spent some well deserved time not doing much of anything...that is, until I saw the Christmas pictures my family had posted. I was mortified. I looked like a cow.

I am 5'11 so i carry a lot of weight well. No one would guess that i weigh as much as I do, but the scales don't lie. I've gained almost 30 pounds since last year. After seeing some holiday photos of myself and not being able to wear my New Years Eve outfit from last year, I decided it was high time I changed before it was too late! I talked to DH and we both agreed we needed to do something to get healthier while we don't have kids and make it a permanent lifestyle choice.

I am doing the GMC diet for the 3rd time, and praying for the same results. I know that if you lose a significant amount of weight, your fertility chances increase dramatically. With this cleanse, you eat as much of the certain foods as you want so you're not hungry, and i did it twice before: first time I lost 24 pounds, the second time i cheated a little and still managed to lose 18 pounds in the 7 days! And since my short-term disability wont cover a pregnancy unless i deliver 10 months after it started ( in my case, i would have to deliver in november) this would be the perfect kick start! Day one is almost over, and i need to get back to my fruit cups. Hope your new years was amazing! First day: all the fruits i could eat except bananas.
