Day 116 Update - 123.8 (-42.9)

So the week's going along well, kept meaning to blog, but just not getting to it.

Here's the update:

Day 113	124.4	0.2	42.3
Day 114	124.3	0.1	42.4
Day 115	124.0	0.3	42.7
Day 116	123.8	0.2	42.9

All in all it's going well, although not as quickly as I'd like. Still, down is down :)

I'd been experimenting with a slightly higher dose, and unlike other rounds, I'm actually feeling better on the recommended dose. So back to that I went this morning.

Sleep is well, food is good, moods are good although I'm a tad cranky in the mornings, but that may be due to the dark, gray skies we've been having. It's so hard for me to get up when it's dark outside. But of course, I do... eventually. Thank goodness for coffee!

I'm still taking my potassium and magnesium for the leg cramps, and I certainly do notice an increase in cramps when I slack off on that, so it's important this round. Interestingly, there's been very little dizziness (by which I mean headrushes when I stand up quickly, or a weird, echoey sensation at times when standing around), so that's good.

And... it's Friday! Yipeee!!

P2 Day 112 124.6 (-0.6)(-42.1)

Yay! Great release! What a great start to the week THAT is!

Day 111 Update = Going Strong!

Going strong! Here is the update since Thursday:

Day 109	125.6	0.6	41.1
Day 110	126.0	-0.4	40.7
Day 111	125.2	0.8	41.5

I'm sleeping well, eating well, and feeling great. With continued use of magnesium and potassium, the leg cramps have gone away and my energy is good. Man I love this program!

P2 Day 108 126.2 (-0.1)(-40.5)

Well it was a little release, but still in the right direction, so that's great!

Not much to report, I'm sleeping well, and the appetite has subsided so that's a good thing.

Onwards!

P2 Day 107 126.3 (-0.9) (-40.4)

Nice release! Won't be long at all until I'm past the 125.5 mark and hitting new lows this round!

I love HCG for that, in that unlike many other programs, I will lose as fast as I gain, no taking twice as long to lose thing.

Slept well, still dealing with a bit of hunger, I'm toying with upping my dose slightly for a couple of days, but seeing if I can just tough it out.

On with my day!

P2 Day 106 127.2 (-2.2) (-39.5)

Well, that's 2.2 down, and 1.7 to go until I've resolved the pause damage. All good!

I'm feeling good being back on HCG, it's truly amazing how healthy I feel on it. The only real drawback is the boredom with food, but that's something I can (obviously) deal with.

Sleeping well, good energy, not much new to report! Onwards!

Day 105 - Back on HCG and P2

As of today I am 129.4, with a net gain of 3.9 over the three day pause. I’d gone out on Saturday night, thrown caution to the wind, had a few drinks followed by a late night omelet at Denny’s, and yesterday experienced increased appetite as a result of the alcohol consumption and basically ate my way through yesterday. Now granted, it was phase 3 foods, but essentially acted like a loading day as far as my body was concerned.

Live and learn. I enjoyed myself, now back to it. This is not how I eat on phase 3, which is very structured, 3 meals and a snack a day, and certainly no alcohol. So, while at first my confidence took a hit, I reminded myself that I DO know how to do a successful stabilization phase and that I will do that when I’m through with Phase 2. Then I shook it off and got on with the day.

Today, I took my HCG this morning and have been just fine. It feels good to be on it, back to normal, especially since I hadn’t really wanted to go off it to begin with.

Onwards! No regrets, lessons learned and off we go!
