Loading...

Oh yes, I mixed up my HCG this morning. I decided to do 30 days at 150UI. I only bought one vial of HCG. Oops. I know for next time to get 2 if I want to do a full round.

And now I am loading. I am full.

And what I thought was going to be an easy weekend to load, is not. You just can't eat the kinds of foods and the quantities required for loading in front of loving family and friends. They look at you like you are trying to commit suicide by food. I guess it would help if they all knew that I was doing HCG. Problem is, I am related to a whole pile of skeptics. They would probably have me committed to a mental institution if I told them what I was doing. Better they worry about all the food I eat when I load and how little I eat when I am in Phase 2.

Okay, tons of work to do for the birthday party tomorrow.

It's Almost Time...

I cannot believe it is almost time for me to start another round. When I planned all this out, oh so long ago, Sept 11 seemed such a long way off. Now it is just days away. I chose this date for so many reasons, but one of them was because I am throwing a huge birthday party for my son. He will be 3 and I figure this is one of the last times when I can have complete control of the party. And I am doing it big time. So big time that I am exhausted. It will be a great party though. Every detail has been attended to.

Perhaps, in hindsight, this was not the best time to be gearing up for another round of HCG. I have had hardly any time to prepare for it. I did choose it so that I could load over the party weekend and start on Monday.

And I am doing this round on my own. I got great suggestions for where to buy my supplies and basic support for doing it on my own from Your HCG Coach. She is a wealth of knowledge about this diet and I encourage you to follow her personal HCG blog too.

She lists some online pharmacies on her site and I used Pharmacy Escrow. My supplies arrived in plenty of time. I got the syringes, bacteriostatic water, etc really quickly as they were shipped from the US. The actual HCG took longer as it came from overseas and had to go through customs. I was able to get a prescription from the doctor at the pharmacy for a small online exam fee. It was a great experience other than the overseas purchase cause my credit card company to freak and contact me. After I assured them that I had, indeed, made the purchase everything was fine. Good to know the credit card company has my back (well theirs really).

Now all I have to do is find time to mix my HCG and test it. No problem I will do that in between all of the party prep. AHHHHH!

I'll be back soon!

I did it.

I made the decision to go rouge and do this on my own. For a fraction of the cost I ordered my HCG supplies from one of the pharmacies that my HCG online friends recommend. I am saving between $450-650.

I admit, I am nervous. Especially since I had the thyroid issue last time. That being said, I still have the extra thyroid pills that they prescribed for me last time. I guess I can add those in again if I start having the same symptoms this time.

No matter what, I am excited. It will take awhile for everything to get here. I am hoping to be able to load the weekend of Sept 11-12 and start on the 13th. That is the weekend of my son's birthday party and I want to enjoy it. Or over-enjoy if you know what I mean.

Can't wait to get back on here and keep you posted on my progress.

Where am I at now. Well, I have gained 12lbs back. Yikes, I know. I think this is because I wasn't able to do the full 3 weeks of P3. Everyone says how important that is. I am hoping that is it. I haven't made the best food choices (gosh, I love ice cream!) and I haven't been very good about any exercise. So, I am working on making healthier food choices so that I can drop some of that weight even before I start the protocol again. I am also getting back to my Pilates 2x a week and dusting off my treadmill. Time to get back in control.

Hugs and see you soon.

Enjoy life,
Amy
