Today is my VLCD #40
in this Round #3, so far I lost roughly 7 Kg (15.5lb) – it seems a lot
but really is not a good number on a HCG
Diet; with 40 days of injections I should have seen
losing at least 25lb/30lb. Disappointing
and definitely not encouraging results. But I knew that every round is
different, and let's admit that my decaf coffee addiction is not helping
either. Now I have the feelings that my body is getting used to the amount of
food I have every day, I'm not hungry most of the day, my mood is good, but
sometimes I would like to see the scale going down quicker. Today I also
ordered another vial of HCG, apart from the money I really
didn't want to go to this path, on staying so long with such a small amount of
Calories, but if I stay where I am right now, is like didn't diet at all on
this round, this morning I registered a gain and I'm back on 61.4Kg.
One of my fellow dieters on FatSecret was pointing that whatever I gained should not be fat but
body food or water, which I agreed thinking about the logic of it; I don't eat
much fat during the day anyway, and I'm often constipated lately.
One thing I decided to do is increase my exercise routine, maybe slowly though. I know that with
only 500/660 calories per day is not advisable to exercise, plus sore muscles
are definitely going to retain some water. But I'm thinking to build up a
routine slowly, I also purchased a groupon
offer for 10 classes in a Kung Fu school, unbelievable I know! Me
doing Kung-Fu? I can barely walk and chew a gum at the same time, but I love
challenges and if I don't learn I rarely get hooked in anything.
I have also wasted
half year of my gym membership not going at all, I want to try to get back into
this good habit, I always loved my Body Attack classes, so Sunday there's one
at 11:00AM and I usually go to take a long relaxing sauna after (steam room), so I will try to go this
weekend; I might not be able to complete the whole hour since I'm out of shape,
but I will try to do my best.
With these exercise activities I am planning on "shocking" my body, consuming more
calories and proteins and see if my stalls reduce and I see some good weight
losses. In addition to that I will benefit in terms of health and I'm hoping to
stay away a bit more from the decaf-coffee-madness that I'm
experiencing lately.
Since I'm becoming really desperate on what is happening
with my HCG Diet slowdown, I'm also trying to avoid as much as I can
supplements in these days. I took lots of probiotics in the past few days; I
even bought some strong one: 80 billion strength
but nothing is happening anyway, so I will let my body rest from all those bacteria
and see if I see any change.
This coming weekend
I'm also going to try an Intermittent
Fasting day(s) – I've lots of things to do Saturday and volunteering to the
Ukrainian beer festival (I deeply hate beer) – so it will be a good chance for
me not to eat or drink anything, just working at the bar and meet people.
Sunday I've my Body Attack class planned in the morning
(with steam room in the plan as well), and in the afternoon I have a first date
with a friend of a friend, just going for a walk or coffee, let's see if I can
fast that day too or I'll have 6 eggs
so I can do a protein day to help my
muscles after the gym. But, of course, all this is my ideal world plan…that I screw up every time with my insane lack of
initiative. In my defense I have to say that I never been like that, I've been
always super active, I guess I'm getting old!
