Loading Day 2/VLCD Day 1

Well loading day 2 went well, I saw my day off to a finish with a Gigi's cupcake, Amaretto Amore. I will say i've confused myself a little on being on 3rd shift while doing this diet since my sleep schedule is kinda odd. :) So far I have been giving myself an injection in the AM before bed around 8 am and weighing when i get up around 5 ish. Although I usually end up going back to sleep for a few hours closer to 11. So far, I have gained right at 6 lbs for loading (a new record for me) and I'll keep you posted in the morning on my first days' loss. I contemplated doing a 3rd loading day since I plan on doing such a long round but passed up on the idea just for the sheer fact i have no appetite. Which is great, although I have munchies and wanting to eat food out of habit. Right now i'm not positive of my loses because i am currently taking Penicillin with my hcg. Though there is nothing against antibiotics on the protocol im not positive how it'll effect my body. I have also noticed that i'm pretty dehydrated. Who knows? Soon ill let you know.

Loading... Day 1

So here I am at a very awkward hour writing a blog about a weight loss battle. It's right at 7 am, though I just woke up I usually am just getting off work at this hour. Haha. I took my first injection last night, ate at a pizza buffet and woke up now eating some Frosted mini wheats. It's def a interesting mindset battle getting ready for 42+ days of NOTHING but Phase 2 friendly foods but not impossible. Of course I also say this while packing my face. haha. I'm hoping to lose anywhere between 30-40 lbs this round. It's a very high goal but I honestly think I can pull it off and believing is half the battle! I'm not planning on switching shampoos or conditions or soaps, my facial moisturizer is oil free, but I still use the same soap as last time. Dial spring water because it's fully cleared me of my acne (go figure a .50 bar of soap works better than a $10 bottle of clean and clear.) I'm also sticking with the Thai Deodorant bar, something I fell in love with last round (my failure round -.-;) Other than that I'm preparing for a day of house cleaning and laundry before crawling back into bed for my 3rd shift job. I'll keep you guys posted! :)

Getting prepared

So right now I'm about a week away from starting the HCG protocol, tech. R2 but I plan on treating it as my first round. My freezer is packed with organic chicken breast, frozen veggies, and soon very soon lots of apples! My pantry has tons of canned veggies (not a preference but hey it works :p) also green tea many flavors. Already also stocked up on all my injection supplies that are needed for this round! I'm very excited and actually for once feel like I have my ducks in a row, a rarity indeed. I've taken as much time as i can to include recipes under the Phase 2 and Phase 3 tabs but due to Blogger's set up im not able to post them in a drop down style but most likely will keep either adding to the page or make small random posts under the blogs. :) Right now I'm just sitting at work doing my thing. I hope everyone is doing well on their round or maintenance! If you have any questions please feel free to message or comment! :D
