HCG Diary - R1P3D7

I'm almost finished with my first week of phase 3 and I must say that I'm certainly enjoying being less restricted on my food choices. Unfortunately, I got a sunburned badly on Wednesday, which was the second day of phase 3. For the next three days I was weighing heavy due to fluid retention. Even today I am 1.4 pounds over liw. I'm not worried though, because I'm not eating sugar and starch so I know that it is just more than likely water weight. I lost 35 pounds in phase 2 so I am extremely pleased with that. This was in spite of my thyroid issues and going without any meds for three weeks. The last week of injections I started back on my ArmourThyroid and I'm taking it morning and afternoon. I'm also grinding it up in a mortar and pestle. I feel awesome since I've started doing this. I have two more weeks of phase 3 and then I will probably ride out the next three weeks doing low carb before I start round 2 again. I'm happy with my phase 2 results!

I've released 29.8 pounds so far! I am on the third and last day of my fat fast and I feel soooo good. I started day before yesterday and only had 5 servings of mac nuts all day. The next morning I had released 1.4 pounds. Yesterday I had chocolate delight, mac nuts and bacon and eggs. This morning I had released 1 more pound. I'm having only mac nuts again today and I'm very excited to see what the scales reveal in the morning. I have been flooding myself with stevia tea and water because the nuts are kind of salty. My planned last injection day was supposed to be next Friday, June 8, but I figured that if I ran out of my vial before then that I would just end this round early. I went ahead and drew up my injections just to see what I would have in the vial and it was just enough so that I can do the last injection when I'm supposed to on Friday. Do you know what that means? The universe is on my side!!! LOL...Yay for that one! I can't wait until I can add the fat back to my diet. I think my hair might be falling out because of the lack of protein that I've went through for the last 5 weeks. Well, it won't be much longer. That's what I keep telling myself.

I started back on my Armour Thyroid today again, too. The synthroid just wasn't helping me at all. I have been off of the synthroid for three weeks and taking the supplements that I felt would replace it, but they still aren't bringing my basal temp up to where it needs to be. I've taken my temp several times in the last few weeks and it has been as low as 95. I want my body to be working correctly when I finish with my hcg phases because if my metabolism is still shot then it is going to be extremely difficult for me to keep the weight off. One of the supplements that I've been taking is the Metabolic Advantage. I already feel more energetic today with just taking this plus the Armour. I got it at the local health food store but it's cheaper at Amazon. The link is below.

I've released 26.8 pounds so far. It seems like I'm kind of stuck in this same area for the past few days so I'm thinking of doing a fat fast to get on down. I read about it on lowcarbfriends.com . It seems that there are a few rogue gals (maybe guys, too) that have done it off and on during phase 2 and it really helps them. My body really needs some fat right now. I'm freezing all of the time and it has been really hot. I don't feel like I'm thinking clearly either. I'm going to go to the store and get some mac nuts so that I can start doing the fat fast. Well, if I wake up tomorrow with a huge loss I probably won't do it, but otherwise I will. Wish me luck!

I'm getting tired of this limited regime. I've lost 22.2 pounds so far. I'm not even sticking that closely to protocol. Well, I'm not eating much over 500 calories a day but I have been eating Jay Robb's Whey Protein powder. It doesn't really seem to be hurting me though. I so look forward to having my strawberry protein smoothie. I've been putting a tbsp. of coconut flour in it too.
