Round 4 Phase 2 Day 1

I got on the scale this morning and almost fell off! Up 3.2 pounds from yesterday. I started loading on Monday. I tried taking the shot late afternoon, early evening to see if time change would affect the hunger I tend to get in the evenings on HCG. Technically I loaded for 48 hours but had 3 shots during that time. I don't know if that affected anything but due to the sudden weight gain I'm assuming it worked. I ate a lot of good fatty foods with the exception of one medium order of french fries and 2 gluten free cupcakes. The rest of the time I ate avocados, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and non-lean meats. I did eat 2 big bowls of cereal though. I know part of the massive weight gain is water retention due to over indulgence on milk. I still hate loading days though. Something that seems it would be so wonderful just really isn't. I usually gain so much weight during loading days that I spend the first week taking off the loading weight! Ridiculous. Oh well. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

It's 3pm and I haven't had my dose of HCG. My husband forgot the syringes at work and I'm having to wait for him to come home. I'm glad I took the other doses kind of late now. But I wanted to take the doses around 1pm.

This morning I woke up hungry. I know most of that is psychological. I wasn't this hungry yesterday or the day before. Starting VLCD makes me all of sudden hungry.

I've already eaten lunch. I had some steamed cabbage with 3.5 oz of lean ground meat. I had one hard boiled egg in the morning and one apple for snack. I've also eaten a no sugar added Healthy Choice fudge bar which I totally forgot had milk in it! Duh, ice cream. It is 100 calories and 5 g of sugar. I was getting a sugar low headache and that I would take the hit on the calories. I don't think I've ever been able to successfully adhere to the 500 calories a day. Hum, imagine that. I was planning to eat about 700 calories instead but since I'm not doing roller derby and skating every day I might actually try to keep to the 500 calories. I can't exercise and not be hungry. It just doesn't happen for me.

My stomach is complaining about the lack of food already. Growl, growl, growl. I'm a bit light headed but feeling better after eating that bar.

I'm not sure what my plan is exactly. The HCG I have won't be good for 23 days and I don't think I'll try  doing 23 days straight again. I was much more successful this last round with taking breaks. But every round is different and with my thyroid and liver issues I just never know.
