Round 4

Jumped on the scale this morning, and I'm happy to report that 2.5 lbs are gone! What a nice surprise.

This morning I thought I'd share my injection routine.

First off, the way I mixed my 5000 bottle of Ovidac was using the 10ccs of water, not 5. This way when I pull it up into the syringe, the dosage is very clear. I pull it up to the 3 line and inject right into my "momma's apron.".

The hCG is stored in the fridge, in a small Tupperware ...

Today started out with a 1.5 lb weight gain.. So I resolved to get back strictly OP immediately. Yesterday I was cooking steak for the week, and I couldn't stop taking bites. Then I was unable to sleep so went downstairs and had a snack which I should not have had.

I was ony way into work this morning, driving down the highway, when BANG the hood of my car flew open! So I had to peek through the teeny sliver of space at the bottom and pull over. I ended up pushing the hood closed ...

And today, a loss of 1 lb. Not bad after three days. Often after the two day "big drop" when I start, I then come to a near-full stop and only lose .2 - .5 a day for a week.

Yesterday was difficult. Around 10AM my boss comes in with a pizza box. He plunks it on the shelf in front of my desk, and opens it. 1 dozen gourmet donuts. Each one massive and all kinds of special flavors, bourbon salted caramel, maple bacon, espresso, dark chocolate frosting, you name it. ...

Yesterday I got thrown a curve ball. I went to the doctor's because I have not stopped coughing since I caught a cold around New Year's. Apparently it has turned into a sinus infection. As the doctor typed the doxycycline script into the computer, she rattled off a list of conditions: Must eat with this medication, must take yogurt or a probiotic. All the time I'm thinking "program, program, program" like how the heck am I going to work the program?

I decided to go ...

4.5 lbs lost! Hooray!! Yesterday was strictly OP with only two small deviations, my standard almond milk in the coffee, and no melba toast in the house. So I had one piece of wasa crispbread after dinner. The time from 8:30 to 11AM was rough, I was really really hungry. My guess is it takes a while for the hCG to kick in after injection.

As a side note, I had a hard time falling asleep last night. It was really hard to not go down and get a glass of milk or a snack of some ...

Today is the kick-off day to my round 4. To memorialize things, this morning the batteries on the scale were not in correctly. When I put them back in the scale, the scale didn't even turn on. So I *THINK* I gained 8 lbs on loading, but am not sure. I think my starting weight after loading is 174 but again, not sure. Today after work I'm going to stop by the grocery store and get some Smooth Move Tea and some new batteries. Also I'm going to try to get my husband to measure me so I can track ...
