loaded

I am done loading!  I took my first v.ery l.ow c.alorie d.iet injection today (it's not any different than the other injections but I'm better at it now and it hurt less).  I did my darndest to eat all of the foods I like but mostly I just felt sick all day.  I bought sugary stuff to eat but couldn't finish any of it so there's still pie and ice cream and yogurt pretzels and a cupcake in here.  That doesn't bother me now, I suppose it might later.

My weight this morning was 155.4, an increase of 3.6 from yesterday and an increase of 3.4 overall from start weight.  Some women gain a lot; I'm not too worried about 3.4lbs at all.

I'm ready to get the weight loss part started though, for sure.


I'm lazy and I still haven't made my 3.5 oz sections of meat for the freezer... definitely on the to do list today.

boo[ze], you suck

_~* uffggghhh.  Can you drink during loading?  Probably should have looked into that 14 hours ago.  I hope loading on Heineken is okay.  I don't know how much I drank- well, enough that, carefully spaced throughout the night, I was my drunkest at 2AM when the bar closed and enough that I've been shitting my guts out all morning (see?  How nice!  There's a cleanse part of this diet.)

Alright, I did a quick search on the hcg diet info forums and it appears many before me have asked about alcohol during loading and it is okay.  No one was really forthcoming with how much they were planning to drink- no one said "is it okay if I get buh-lasted during loading days?" but to be fair, those weren't the search terms I used.


So this morning I weighed in at 151.8, a loss of .2 lbs but not very realistic.  I'm working on it as I write this, but I'm very, very dehydrated this morning.  Whatever, I'm keeping the number in the record, I'll shoot up 8 lbs tomorrow.

mentally add the decimal

hcg... day 1... mix and load

So I don't know... I fucked up on mixing my hcg.  What I was supposed to do was have 4ml of liquid total but I actually only had 3 and I didn't realize this until I had started pre-loading syringes (and I don't even know why I was preloading syringes in the first place... it was just something my mom did.)  So I squirted the liquid back in, I'm sure I lost a ton of liquid because I ended up with 11 instead of 13 doses.  I guess that's not that big of a difference.

First shot didn't hurt going in but I didn't care for the pressure of the liquid as I injected it.  But I'm okay.  I think I lost some hcg.  Better get good at this by the time the very low calorie diet starts.

For those of you not familiar with the hcg diet, let me give you enough information that you can at least follow what I am saying.  I'm not going to get into the why, you'll just have to trust that I've done my research and this is the diet I'm going to do.

• hCG is a hormone.  Generally it is prescribed as a fertility treatment.
• I buy it from an online pharmacy.
• I mix it with an injection liquid (bacteriostatic water)
• I will inject .30mL every day for 40 days.
• The first two days, I will "load" and eat as much of whatever as I want (been loading for 23 years actually)
• From that point on, I will eat a v.ery l.ow c.alorie d.iet of exact foods in exact portions.
• After the last injection, I eat very vcld for a few more days.
• For three weeks after that, I will eat whatever but no sugar or starch.
• For three weeks after that, I will slowly add in carbs, while maintaining my weight.
• Then I can do it all over again if I still have weight to lose.

So while I load today and tomorrow, I'm going to try to just eat healthy fats.  I have GOT to get my hands on an avocado.  But, I also plan on eating some food that I really like since it's going to be at least 84 days before I can eat them again, but who's counting?
