Well for my birthday I had Mexican for lunch and Lasagna for dinner, I had a donut, some cake, black liquorices and more lasagna. I was up 3 pounds this morning but the important thing is that I do not feel bloated for the first time once I have eaten anything that had carbohydrates. I feel normal. I am excited that this normalcy has finally arrived. Here are some pictures I took last week end.
Well it has been awhile, but things are going good my hunger and weight seem to have settled down. I am up 7 pounds but a lot of that seems to be muscle. I have been working out and running 4 to 5 times a week. I still am not eating a lot of crabs (I'm scared) but I have been eating Fiber One this last week, and eating some fruit. Tomorrow is my birthday so it will be a good test as to how my body is dealing with carbs.
It has been a few days since my last post. I have been doing good on phase 3 I am up a bit this morning I can feel it. I laid laminate flooring in my living room this week end and because of the nature of that kind of activity I ate what ever food was available. Lots of carbs. and pop and not a lot of water. So this morning I can feel that I am bloated this morning as well as very sore from all the activity. I am excited to see how my body is adjusting to life outside of HCG!!
My weight has been fluctuating quite a bit in this first 2 weeks of phase 3 . I anticipate that it will start to settle down this week and then continue to become normal as my body re-adjusts to life with out HCG. The one thing that I am realizing and what I suspect that Dr. S was trying to teach in phase 3 was to deal with any weight gain immediately and not just ignore it because it will not just go away. That is what I will take into the final phase. Monitor and correct any weight issues that come up down the road.
I had a very busy week end. I pulled up carpet in my living room on Saturday and did my weight lifting as well and then on Sunday morning I got up and ran 5.34 miles before church. By Sunday afternoon I was completely wiped out. I have one more week on the restricted diet of phase 3. I CANNOT WAIT. ttfn
I have had a busy week end and have not been able to weigh my self like I would like. I ran 5 miles this morning and it really wiped me out. I am really enjoying the weight lifting that I have been doing. It is nice to see all of my muscles as they tone. I still have to remind myself that I weigh 170 lbs. I have been reading a new book that I bought called the "12 second sequence" by Jorge Cruise. It is a unique workout routine that use 2 20 minute work outs a week. I will continue to chronicle how it works for me and Denise.
Ever since removing all carbohydrates from my diet I have dropped 7.5 lbs in 3 days. I know it was all water weight but it sure feels good to get back down in weight. My hunger is also back in control. I have a little over a week to go before I transition into phase 4 (Start adding in Carbohydrates) and from my experience over this last 2 weeks is that at least early on I need to track my calories on a daily basis in order to re-learn how much I am eating in a day. That combined with exercise and life as a skinny person will be long and lean.TTFN
