HCG Round Three... Day Seven

Well, I have gotten the flu twice now... good for the weight, bad for me. I had three exams (one is done now) and all the Christmas hoopla, and I have no energy.

I am scrambling to do the Christmas thing and going nuts over the remaining two exams (math and ASL). This Saturday, I will be able to die in peace... :D

Diet-wise, the food thing is still hard; I watched my kids eat ice cream today and had trouble with it. I stopped running like I was supposed to also. I am currently at 252 pounds, which is minus 6.5 pounds for this round and minus 81 pounds total. Okay, that is kind of exciting.

Side effects this time.... so far, I am really weak again, but that could be the flu too. I chew a lot of B12. I am perpetually thirsty, so I go through a lot of Powerade Zero and Throat Coat tea.

HCG Round Three...

Cannot believe it has been that long since I posted!! I have been very busy.

I ended the HCG round two at 267 pounds, only down 26 pounds, but that is okay. This middle six weeks have been kind of depressing; I didn't lose much weight... until I got the flu.

It has been exasperating; I am now about the same weight as my husband... I have NEVER been thinner than he is... but he has lost weight too, just by association... I am so angry! He doesn't even have to try, and here I am trying, sacrificing, giving myself shots, exercising like crazy.... grrrrr!!! That said, I am now 1 1/2 pounds lighter than he is.

Today is day one of the shots, and I am currently 258.6 pounds. This round I am trying for three digits (one hundred pounds lost will be 233 pounds) and to be less than one hundred pounds overweight (which will come first at 250 pounds... well, technically 249).

I have to admit that multiple rounds of this is pretty tedious, but I know I will not be on this roller coaster forever, just almost one more year....
