No, I’m not necessarily doing one of those ‘blah blah lose weight, get in shape’ resolutions. But I am finishing what I started. You see, this year I started working on my weightloss goals and working towards getting back to a healthier me. So far I’ve lost just over 30lbs. It was A LOT of…
Hi, Semper Fi Momma friends! My name is Elizabeth and I blog over at The Young Retiree! I was thrilled when Laura asked me to write something about my new Paleo lifestyle to share with you all. I’m sure some of you have heard the term Paleo thrown around recently as the lifestyle has gained popularity…
I’ve never had sexy abs. I’ve never seen that six pack rippley-look through my middle. The only rippley look you see going across my tummy is the ripple of 2 year old stretch marks accompanying twin-preggy stretched skin. Give you a pretty image? I wish I were bold enough show you what exactly that looks…
Some people, I swear, we’re just born to love fitness and working out and running. I loath running. I was definitely not born to be a runner. I do believe, though that we were born and made to be active. If you would have asked me that at 11, when I was running carefree through…

The great thing about doing the homeopathic HCG is showing myself that I did indeed have the willpower to completely give up all of the diary foods I love, and even coffee. To show myself that I could do this very strict diet and not buckle. I had to know I could do it before…
Week 1? Awesome. The homeopathic HCG has been working and I couldn’t have been happier with my losses. Week 2? Not so much. I lost a few pounds in the beginning of the week, then towards the end I not only stopped losing, but I gained a pound. I had failed. I was sunk. I…
Do you see what that says? In my first week I’ve lost 11.6 pounds. And let me tell you, it wasn’t easy. This past Saturday was Alpha & Bravo’s birthday (St. Patrick’s Day). I made them a two layer cake, and had finger and snacks foods at the party. I was surprised at which…
I’m officially in the second phase now, VLCD Day 3. Surprisingly enough when I weighed myself on VLCD D1 I had lost .2 lbs. Yesterday the scale told me I lost another .7lbs. I was pleased to see that the number is going in the right direction and I knew once the HCG really kicked…
