My Weight and HCG Diet Journey's updates

I'm back to my blog to give some updates regarding my HCG experience and my weight in general.

After the end of my Round #1 for P2 I had no problems to complete my P3 phase and maintaining my weight within the 2 pounds range, actually most of the time my weight was under my LIW; so P4 started and I have to admit I didn't start any type of exercise, lazy me, but in my defense I can say that I was working 7 days a week on an average sleep of 4 hours – so really time for the gym was not fitting my schedule.

My P4 was not bad; I maintained my weight fairly easy, some days better than others and I had 2/3 fasting weekends to keep me in track in case my weight was rising up.

Then my Mexican vacation came, one week in an all-inclusive resort, a paradise with amazing food…and obviously I let myself enjoy all those cakes and chocolate delights. I ate like I didn't eat anything for the past 6 months! Breakfast, lunch and dinner always overeating, not to mention all the cookies and nuts ate here and there. Well I guess the Binge Eater that is in me came back in Mexico and I'm afraid to report that my weight of course went up quickly. Well thankfully it was only a week but I learnt a lesson: AVOID all-inclusive resorts; temptations are way too many to handle for me.

My weight went up from 57/58Kg that I was when I went to Cancun, up to 62/63Kg when I came back to Toronto – about 10 pounds I would say.

Although lots of people might think that 10lb is not a big deal, it's something like 10% of my weight so for me it's a huge deal, plus a week may be enough to gain 10lb but I would need at least a month worth of sacrifices to lose it!

Anyhow, I'm now back on HCG for my second round – today is my R2P2 – VLCD #10, so far I lost 2/3 Kg, not much. This round is different from the previous one, I'm not motivated in the same way, I have lots of cravings, I'm always thinking about food, I don't feel the same mood response I had with my first round, so definitely tougher than I expected. But I will keep going and I will till I reach my goal, I just wish I had a different feelings during this Round #2, since it might be longer than the previous one. Wish me luck!
