Day 1

So today was the official day of my 20 day HCG experiment. Although yesterday i gorged myself and felt so big and greasy. My neighbor brought me over some cheesecake, which probably had more calories than I normally intake in any given day. With HCg you are supposed to eat yourself silly for a few days before you do an injection and like a day or 2 after your first injection. I am having a hard time with eating all this crap, because I lost 15+ lbs from May to August by limiting my sugar intake, and working (as you all know I walk about 500 miles a day with my job anyway.)

So this morning I weighed myself and the scale said 207.0 which I was disgusted in since pre-labor day it was at 200lbs. I'm sure that I put on a few LB's just between saturday evening and monday morning.

My neighbor was kind enough to let me watch her inject the HcG in her arm, this morning. So I came home and after a lot of chickening out I finally built up the courage to fill the syringe. After a couple of flicks at the tip of the needle I was ready for the next step. I slowly inserted the needle into my arm, with little resistance. It really wasn't as bad as I was expecting, a little sore like a flu shot.

The next thing was to eat a bunch of crap. So this morning I ate a few bowls of corn pops. Then for lunch I had a big greasy hamburger and a big ol' oreo milkshake. A few homeade oreo cookies and I'm sure more to come tonight. Like I said I am reluctant to eat this cause it is oxymoronic to eat all this crap to lose weight. But is has something to do with tricking your metabolism into not thinking you are starving, because tomorrow I will be starting a 500 calorie daily intake. Which I hear is really hard to do the first 4-5 days, until your body starts eating the reserve fat cells. Dunno, but I'll see how this all turns out.

My goal is to get down to 185 lbs.

Things that I will be giving up Diet Coke, Diet Dr. Pepper.

I will also be only eating chicken, some red meat. A small selection of fruits such as strawberries, oranges, grapefruit. One type of vegetable such as celery, tomatoes, and green salad. etc...

I'm doing this blog because I am going to stick with it and account for my days and stats on here. I will be posting my first picture and stats later this evening.... Stay tuned...
