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 3

Well, our stomachs are exceedingly full. Tomorrow's sparse food intake might actually be a relief. Leif says that he thinks he has already felt the appetite suppressant effect from the HCG. I'm not sure if I have or not. I have just always felt full.

Anyway, I understand the science behind these first three days. I hope that we have aided our body by filling it with fat. But it was extremely strange. I did have on deep thought this evening. The thought was that there is a huge difference between Free Range and Restriction. No, I am not talking about feeding chickens. I noticed that when I was free to eat any junk that I wanted, I didn't crave it as much. But when I have such a strong restriction against it, my mind fights it without end. Again, the power of the mind...

Well, here is where it really begins...

Addendum: I keep forgetting to mention that during these three days I have had a really hard time getting to sleep. I do have a tendency towards insomnia. But I felt like the problem was either the HCG or the large amount of sugar intake. Since there will be no more sugar, I should know soon enough.
