HCG Diet Injections Round Two - Day 15

Well, so far it is going... of course there are problems to work out as usual..

Weight-wise, I think I started at 293 (post-workout), and as of today I am 279 (post). It is working like it is supposed to. My measurements as of yesterday are 38.25 (-4.75 total), 42.75 (-2.75 total), 59.0 (-5 total)

The problems? One is getting my period multiple times while doing this... it is a nuisance; the weakness is back, although not as bad... I take a bunch of b-12 pills every day (eat them like candy) and I still run.

The biggest problem has been my eyes. Turns out that with the radical diet, I have lost the ability to lubricate my eyes, so I ruin my contact lenses; I have to take them out every night (I wear extended wear lenses), it takes a miracle to get them back in (the dryness makes them not want to stick to my eyes), and I have to keep my solution close at hand to lubricate my eyes every time they dry out. It is a big nuisance, but the alternative is to quit the diet....

So I am surviving.... only 25 days to go before I can go "normal" for a bit.

HCG Diet Injections Round Two - Day 9

Yes, I have been neglecting things a bit.... I am in school full time and a whole bunch of other stuff too.

I went back for round two starting last Monday, and this time it is more difficult. I have to speculate about why... I have kept up running (although I can feel the weakness coming on), and when I did the three day gorge, I did not get to eat what I had planned, so I am craving those and some other things. My mind is definitely my enemy this time.

Even with that in mind, gauging my weight is a little more difficult because I now weigh myself post-exercise instead of pre-exercise. I weighed 295 when I started (or 293 post), and as of this morning I am 288 pounds. The diet is working, but I am having more trouble with food. The measurements don't help all that much - they are up and down because of the margin for error that a tape measure brings.

So to round two!!
