Who We Are

We are Leif and Lena. I (Lena) am the primary voice of the blog. Leif is the fun side of the blog. This blog tells about our journey as a husband and wife team following the HCG Diet. We are both 30 years old. I am 5 feet tall and Leif is just over 6 feet tall. I have been pregnant 4 times. Leif's body simply had sympathy pains that went along with mine.:) We both need to lose about 20-30 pounds, 40 would be Awesome! I am also a Holistc Health Practitioner (Student) with GCNM and I am following this diet with the "Science Project" mentality. We hope you enjoy reading about, and following our journey. Please feel free to be a cheerleader!

HCG DIET DAY 5

Tonight we had a special family gathering. Naturally food was involved. Leif and I were strong and left before everyone went out to dinner. As we drove away we discussed how clear it was that food is a huge part of our culture. The HCG Diet has taken us back hundreds of years. Back then, food was a necessity. People literally ate to live. Today, we as a culture eat for recreation.

The HCG Diet is only hard because it is No Fun. There is no fun involved in eating very little portions of boring food. However, the benefits are worth it. Leif is thrilled that we are already seeing results. I am too, but he talks about them more.:)

I realized today that my blood sugar is very much effected by this diet. I am extremely irritable until I eat. Once I eat I am a lot more pleasant for a couple of hours. I react especially well to strawberries. I've decided to start my day with strawberries and I might end my day with them as well. We'll see. Maybe I should spread them out throughout the day... I am also looking forward to the Vitamin B that's in the mail.

Life right now is stressful. Good, but stressful. I am taking two college English courses and Leif is taking one. We have two little boys, 29 chickens, and a garden that demand daily attention. I won't even bring up what my house looks like right now. So the lack of energy that I feel much of the day hasn't been easy.

You may ask why we're still going through with it. Well, I still believe it's worth the sacrifice. I want this weight gone and I know that it will be off within the next month if I do my part. That is pure incentive to me. I am determined to follow through completely and I have the Love of my life as my teammate. Who could ask for more!?
