First off on the diet front things are going well, eating healthy, saving money on not eating out, and totally loving the extra energy and confidence I have.
But I really wanted to rant about someone tonight...who just makes me laugh. So I have this Neighbor who seems all okay on one end right, but then as you get to know her and find out that she is like a stalker. ..She looks up everyone in the neighborhood and finds out backgrounds and then she pretends to be your friend and turns around and talks crap about you to the other neighbors and not just you she talks crap about every neighbor to me and etc.. so basically she isn't loyal to any of them... and yes its just a neighbor but she went on about how we were "Friends" well I don't know how she was raised...but I was taught that we don't talk about friends behind their backs...
Isn't it funny that I made her child's Birthday cake and buy something every time the kid is selling something... and have been a good faithful neighbor and Friend. Then that person is so childish because she thinks that I shouldn't believe my husband on something that happened between us and our family... My husband didn't lie to me and I know that...But she has the right to her opinion and I respect that... but would you really stop talking to me and start being rude to me because of your opinion on something my husband did... Now that's childish...
So since she was not speaking to me ..I limited what she could see on my facebook because why should she just be on there to be nosy. She isn't my friend she is just using the stalker feed to stalk me... and when she couldn't stalk me anymore she deleted me.. Which I don't care..I am happy about it because I didn't want to do it myself because I was trying to not start drama... but really.. I mean there is so much drama on this street. That is why I just stay away from most of them, because its a lot easier to just be a neighbor who doesn't care than try to be friends with NOSY NEIGHBORS.. you know the kind the ones who are looking out the window watching you bring your trash can out to see whats in it. But for real, this street could be on the real housewives show just a middle class version.... now I know why the california couple stay hidden in their house.

Day 6
Well I didn't have time to post yesterday but I am now on Day 6 of the HCG diet. The last two days I only lost a pound each day. So now I am up to 11 pounds! I haven't had much time lately been busy doing trying to get Taxes done and Hayleigh's preschool lessons caught up because we have been slacking...
I did pre-make a bunch of meals and have them separated and I even separated raw stuff and put it in the freezer and that makes things so much easier and convenient.. Keeps you from having an excuse of not having something to eat.
Well that's about it..not much to say today we have dance class tonight and I am tired because I stayed up till 330Am last night watching netflix.

2 more pounds= 9
So I was jumping for joy when I stepped on the scale this morning and lost 2 more pounds, so a total of 9 pounds! For lunch I had grilled chicken and broccoli. The hubby got home at 1 and we ran to Lowes, and I can't believe we spent an hour there and only spent 6 dollars, usually I spend 20 minutes and spend 300. We will be soon going to get a new back door and we also need a new back fence the wood is all rotten. Also I want to add crown molding to the rest of the house...etc we have so many projects I could bore you all day with them.
So long story short Hayleigh wanted to stay the night with her granny and we tried to go out to eat with the whole diet thing and I think we did well! I ordered the guiltless steak and broccoli and the first thing I did was cut the 8 oz steak in half and separate out half the broccoli ...So I only ate half of it and will have the other half for lunch. I was really proud of myself, because the other half was sure looking good!
Then I found out the most amazing Secret in the diet world... Walden Farms- They make no calorie, no fat, no sugar, no gluten, no carb sauces.. like Mayo, Salad Dressings, Peanut Butter, Jam, Ketchup, BBQ. etc but don't forget the Most Important CHOCOLATE DIP!! because we all know my love for Chocolate now I can dip my fruit in it and have it that way. The only downside is its hard to find--- I ran all over town Walmart, 3 HEB's because there site said they carried it.. Finally Super TARGET to the rescue they had a couple of the salad dressings. we got home and tasted them with our celery stick...they are good.. I could eat them every day even after the diet. Everything else you can order online at www.waldenfarms.com. I am about to order a bunch of stuff to try it. I will keep you posted...Just be careful some of the stuff does have a bit of sodium so that's not good either but if you don't over do it just have a little i think its better than the real stuff because that has the sodium and the calories, fat and sugar. I am excited because this can just make my diet just a little bit easier so I don't fall off the wagon.

2 more pounds!!
So I was really excited when I woke up this morning and got on the scale and I lost another 2 pounds!!! I did have chick fil a for lunch my daughters favorite place. I got the 8 piece chicken nuggets which are 250 in calories and are pressure cooked no oil and had the fruit bowl gave hayleigh the fruit I can't have and unsweetened tea! So I think I did well for going out to eat. Because lets face it you are going to at times.. its about ordering healthy honestly I should of not ate the last two and I stopped but as I was waiting for Hayleigh to finish I did eat the other two but they are little.
We went and ran a few errands including buying Hayleigh a new big girl bed which was nice!!! We got one that she can keep till pretty much college just changing the mattress of course!! It has plenty of storage and is a full size bed with a built in mp3 player. Wish I had something like that when I was a kid. For dinner we had shrimp and broccoli. No cheating today --didn't have any sauces or even steal a fry from Hayleigh..
Still working on cleaning and organizing my office/scrapbook room its almost the way I want it!! I worked on it for a couple hours tonight...
Ash--Nervous about the scale tomorrow!

5 pounds
Well So I woke up this morning and got on the scale, and I lost 5 pounds. Sweet!!! That was just in the first day of dieting and all I did was sit on Stephanie's couch all day yesterday and hang out with her and Felicia! So that was great motivation to eat what I was suppose to eat today...
So I had my green tea this morning and then my water and took my lunch of grilled chicken and cucumbers to Christi's house. We watched a movie and hung out and had our healthy lunches together! Then after I got home I had and apple and we had to run a few errands when the hubby got home! However he totally upset me while we were out..which is surprising because he doesn't upset me often usually only once in a blue moon. I think he was a bit cranky from being on the diet too. So it kind of forced me to cheat and I ate one little piece of chocolate.. but chocolate calms me --Totally horrible I know..so go ahead and judge me but it was really a small piece and only one.. then I had a healthy dinner of grilled chicken and celery. Headed to the grocery store and seeing all that bad stuff made me want something--so I ate an Orange.
Since I did just play Just Dance 2 and busted a sweat --I think I am ok on that one piece of chocolate but I know I can't do that anymore... But I said I was going to be honest on here so you can hold me accountable so that was my day.. I will let you know what the scale tells me tomorrow!!!

Day Three
Wow, I am really surprised that I am blogging for a third day in a row.. Guess I am making this a habit!
Day three of the diet is going well!!! Woke up and had a quart of water and then had grilled chicken bites *4 oz* with a small salad no dressing of course. I made this vinegar, lemon juice strawberry dressing but it was nasty..so the only other thing I could have was yellow mustard..sounds gross I know. It really wasn't that bad. Then went to spend the day at Stephanie's again and lets not forget Felicia was there too. Its nice that the girls get along and we get along, I think I would cry if our kids didn't get along!! So while I was there I had another quart of water and my apple... surprisingly I wasn't even really hungry..but I never really ate breakfast before or that much for lunch. However, dinner time rolled around and I was starving had a lean portion size of steak whatever you call it ..it was as thin as a piece of card stock...ha and small salad again. I was still kind of hungry after it but went on my way, I did have an orange as I sat down with the hubby to watch the Social Network.
Which is a good movie... I really did forget like half the stuff that wasn't on Facebook and how much different it used to be nice plot though because I did join "because it was cool" and the fact that you had to be invited and in college to join.. Now everyone is on Facebook...Which is nice for new friends I make but then when you get to people who you know and you don't really want to add them as a friend or family you don't want to add because they are just nosy. I find it hard to be rude and not add them so usually I add them and then delete them later.
So I didn't cheat today.. even though I am totally craving a piece of chocolate and Stephanie did have cookies out..I didn't cheat!! I was disappointed when I weighed myself because since I wanted to get all my favorite foods in this past week before my diet, I gained 3 pounds, oh well can't change the past. I am focused now and ready for this diet to work!!! Off to get some recipes and prepare my grocery list so I am not eating the same thing over and over!!! Catch you Tomorrow!

Day Two
Hello,
Well it is 11:58 so technically when I finished this post it will be the next day... But I am still proud of myself for blogging two days in a row that is an accomplishment for me. I have started blogs before but I usually never get past the first entry so its not really a blog its just a note!! So I am officially a blogger now ha!
Over all today was a great day! It was day two of the drops but still no dieting yet, tomorrow is the first day of full diet So hopefully I am not starving. Well actually today since it is now 12. We had gymnastics today which Hayleigh just loves then we went to Chick Fil-A with the other girls. Then ended up going to Stephanie's after to let the girls play. It is really refreshing that our girls get along so well and we get along! I really enjoy my New Friendships with Felicia and Stephanie--yay mommy finally gets a play date that she really enjoys!!!
I am so blessed with great friends from all walks of life that I have-- and not just that fake friendship we all know. I am talking about true friends who don't talk about you behind your back and who support you in the good and bad times.. who are never jealous of you but happy for you!!! Well I really should get back to cleaning this office/scrapbook/guest room --too many rooms in one --but I am getting organized!
Love yall Ash (if anyone is actually reading this ha ha--follow my blog so I don't get discouraged)

Hello Everyone!!
Well I decided to start a blog!! Maybe just because I am jumping on the blogging bandwagon or just to hold me accountable for my new diet that I am praying works this time!! I am starting out on the HCG drops diet. Today was my first day it was pretty normal due to the fact that I take 10 drops 10 minutes before Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner but my no real dieting just eating normal. I will do the same thing tomorrow and then Thursday starts the diet portion. Honestly I am a bit scared because I have tried so many diets and they all seem to plateau out after loosing 15 pounds so I am hoping this works. I have tried everything and well I just recently went on a beta block and I don't want to be on any medication.
Other than that my life is pretty fantastic right now! I have an amazing husband who is supporting me and going on the diet with me (so I will keep you posted on both our results). An amazing daughter and friends and family who support me.
Tonight we have my daughter's dance class, I think its a great thing for her to learn..wish the mom's were a bit more talkative they are all in there own little world so it does get very boring. Guess I am just used to my Gymnastics mom's who we talk the whole time and we go out after some of the classes. Well that's all for now..Thanks for reading my blog and helping me with my weight loss goal..could use the support!
