I've started.. Finally

Loading Day 2 of 2
-------------------

I am currently in day 2 of my hcg Protocol. This is day 2 of 2 of the loading period. Man am I stuffed. More on that in a second..

I have everything for the sublingual HCG all mixed. I used:

5000 IU's of HCG
13ML Liquid Vitamin b12
2ML colloidal silver

It was very easy to mix. I spent so many days just glancing over at my hcg kit and feeling intimidated. I finally decided enough was enough and did it (I've been finding it easier to do things lately as I just bought a house. Now that was a big decision to make!). I waited all that time for nothing.

As far as Loading Day 1, it was quite easy. I wake up by 8am now, in bed by 1am (which is against my very essence of being) HCG taken by 9am. This gives me time after waking up to shower & brush teeth. I don't want to brush my teeth right before, or right after taking it. The chemicals in the toothpaste could mess with the dose.

For food I ate chipotle all 3 meals. It says you are supposed to eat a lot of fat. And that I did.
Barbacoa burrito with lots of cheese, sour cream. Yum!

I did this for day Load day 2 as well. Today however I was only able to stomach 2 meals from chipotle. Normally, eating 3 meals from there was doable. I am however extremely full right now. Kinda like how you feel when you took that laaaast bite of a meal you knew you were full but u wanted to clear the plate. Yeah, thats me right now as I write this post.

Oh by the way. I saw a youtube video last night about Ketostix. This is a cool thing for us to use to help guage how much fat is being burned in our body while on this protocol. Ketostix should be in most pharmacy's. It cost me about $15 for 50 strips. Probably all I will ever need. They have a color code from light to dark. Light on the scale meaning you are testing "negative" for ketones (Acetoacetic Acid), and dark meaning you are testing high for ketones. The more ketones in your urine (yes you have to pee on the stick) the more fat your body is burning. The youtube video i saw, the guy was just finishing his 40 hcg period. Through out the protocol he was testing very high on the scale (dark on the color meter) meaning he was burning fat like crazy. Then as part of the protocol, you stop taking hcg for 3 days but continue the 500 cal diet. He noticed he went to the opposite end of the scale to the light spectrum meaning he had completely slowed in burning fat even though his diet stayed the same. Interestin!

Tomorrow is VLCD day #1 (very low calorie diet)
on the menu:

Breakfast: 1 apple

Lunch: 1 100g of Chicken Breast, Spinich

Snack: Half of a Grapefruit -or- Handful of strawberries -or- 1 Orange (I love the fruits on this diet, my favorites)

Dinner: 100g Chicken Breast -or- 100g Beef depending on calories, Green Salad w/ Tomatoes (i need to research making a dressing via an HCG Cookbook I have)

I will drink water & Tea as desired. I borrowed a tea maker from a friend, and I will sweeten it with stevia (an all natural sweetener based from a plant).

I also need to get everything entered into Fitday.com before tomorrow to make sure calorie intake is correct & to ensure accuracy during this diet.

To do:
Add items to fit day
Get last minute items from grocery store (fruit, other items i'd never normally eat lol)
Cook enough food for the rest of the week (3 days worth at minimum)
Brew some Tea
