R3P2D1

Today is my first day on round 3 and it's a load day. I did my first injection and my morning weight is 135.7. Unfortunately, I am not hungry and it's a load day. Honestly, I am still full from Thanksgiving. I will do my best to load well today and especially tomorrow.

I don't know how this round will go and it will be my last round. I am under more stress than I can ever remember before in my life. My divorce was final on August 28th, my son joined the Marines on November 4th and goes to boot camp on January 26th. My job may be in jeopardy because of a failed partnership and they have already let a whole department go from my office. The holidays are coming.... gee, who needs HCG? Isn't all that stress enough to make a person lose their appetite? I typically do not eat when I am stressed, my appetite goes away. Maybe that will help me through this holiday round.

Well, I am going to get my chores done. It's a beautiful day and maybe I can soak up some sunshine.

almost time

Yesterday I was talking to my friend who is doing this with me, but not part of this challenge. Her doctor gave her a prescription for HCG when my friend told her she was doing this diet. My friend had previously ordered HCG online. When she went to two different pharmacies, she found that they were unable to give her any vials smaller than 10000 iu. Since my HCG hasn't arrived yet and we both want to do a round before Christmas, she is mixing hers up to 125 iu dosage and we are splitting the vial.
We had done our very first round together and we both had very good results. Our second round we did a little more on our own and neither of us had as good of results. We agreed that having a real partner on the protocol, especially while we are at work and patients are always bringing food in for us (their way of saying thanks is with cookies, candy, cakes, etc.), is the best route for us.
We are both looking forward to being strong through the holidays and hitting the next milestone. My next milestone would actually have me at my goal weight. I hope to start the new year at my goal.

Gearing up.

This morning I weigh exactly 134.0. I have all the supplies I need to do another round of but I am still waiting on the HCG. I just checked the tracking and it doesn't give me any information other than it has been shipped.
Well, I am going to get moving. I have grocery shopping to do! I am looking forward to having a few guests for Thanksgiving this year.

Waiting on HCG

This morning my weight was 134.6. I am waiting for the HCG to arrive and am hoping to do a round between Thanksgiving and Christmas. If it arrives in time I can use my holiday as a load day. It may be tough to stick to it during the holiday time, but if I don't do it I will only pack on more pounds. For some unknown reason our society feels the need to give thanks by giving food, unhealthy food. At work we receive a lot of candy, cookies and cakes as "thank you" from patients. Especially during holidays. Occasionally we will get a fruit bouquet or vegie tray. It all is wonderful but it all packs on the pounds. The fruit comes with chocolate and caramel dips, the vegies come with fatty vegie dips. So I am hoping to load for Thanksgiving and diet through to Christmas. Having the determination is the key right now.

today

This morning my weight was at 135.4. I am eating "normal" which means I eat what I want but stop when I am satisfied instead of stuffed. It feels good to have self control that was not part of my lifestyle just 9 months ago.

Still holding

Good morning all. I am just getting ready to start the work week. My weight this morning is 136.3 so I am holding in the mid 130's range while I am waiting for more HCG to arrive. Other than that there isn't much going on. A guy who hasn't seen me since about a month before the wedding, before I gained back the 6 pounds, said he thinks I look perfect right now. That is nice to hear, but I'm still going for that goal weight!

Come soon, HCG!

This morning I weigh in at 136.8. I hope my HCG comes quickly. I would like to lose what I gained before the holidays. At least during the holidays I don't go out to eat all of the time, it's all home made stuff. Also, since I did the Candida cleanse at the beginning of all of this I still don't find myself craving the sweets. Once in a while I will want something, but it isn't daily.

I want to get back down and reach my goal!

next round

Well, I let Drug Delivery know how much HCG I would like and asked for enough for 2 more rounds. I weigh 138.4 on this fine morning at 4:45 am. I am not usually up this early but I am hoping to vote before work today. Yes, it is election day. Get out there and exercise your right! Unless of course you are voting for the other guy, then just stay in bed! :) Have a good day y'all!

I don't get it.

Once again, this morning I tipped the scale at just over 137. I don't know why my weight varies so much from one day to the next. I certainly haven't been eating mass quanitites. The only thing I did different is I had 3 glasses of Coke. That is alot for me. But would that really make the scale read that much heavier? I find that hard to believe. I am hoping to hear something soon from Drug Delivery saying that my supplies are on the way. I am anxious to just be down where I want to be again. It's only 10 pounds!

I feel better now.

Hi! I am so relieved! This morning my weight was back down to 133.3. I haven't been "dieting" but I haven't been eating out anymore since last Tuesday night. I am also feeling physically better now that all that bloat is gone. Restaurant food is NOT good for me! Well, it's a beautiful day and I am going to get outside and enjoy this weather with a litte physical activity. I think I will take a hike! Happy November, people.
