Change of Plans
VLCD Final Days #24-26
Weight Sunday 5.11.08 223.8 (a loss of 1 lb) this is my LIW
Weight Monday 5.12.08 224.2 (a gain of .4lb)
Weight Tuesday 5.13.08 223.2 (a loss of 1.2 lbs, .6 below LIW)
Total Loss as of LIW 26.2lbs
Total # of injections: 23
Well, I decided to end this round early, having been so successful, but at the cost of my voice. The fatigue was really getting to me and I have been unable to keep up with the demands placed on me with my rehearsal and work schedule. I plan on starting my next round on June 4th, for another 23 days. This seems to work quite well for me, and I hope I'm able to lose as much over each of the next 2 or 3 rounds. My schedule calms down considerably in June, so I think I won't have as many fatigue issues. My goal was to be at or below 200 by the end of the summer, and it looks like that is a very real possibility! Provided, of course, that Phase 3 goes more smoothly this time than it did last time. I am really excited to get into the gym and build up some muscle, and even more excited to be eating a wider variety of foods! No milkshakes, at least not until my next load, I am really going to try to stay within the 2 lbs of LIW that Simeon's specifies. I bought a rotisserie chicken and some avocados, two things I have been really craving over the last 3 weeks. Lunch tomorrow is gonna be good!
I will do my next two rounds in quick succession, basing them the experimental 'short round' format with a one week break in between VLCD rounds. However, I will make a slight modification to this plan. I will skip one day of injections every week and I will also do a minimum of 23 injections, instead of the 21 specified by the 'short round' idea. I feel better doing the # of injections prescribed by Dr. Simeon's and hope that by skipping one day a week I won't run into any immunity issues. I may also take a two week break in between rounds, but this has more to do with my schedule than a Protocol-based reason. I hope to finish by mid-August with these next two rounds. Then, as I will be moving in early September, I will take a longer break, and resume for one final round beginning in early October, which I am hoping will finally get me down to my goal weight of 160. I may find that 180 is a more comfortable weight, but I'd like to have a safety net of that additional 20lbs.
All right, another late night. Here's to a successful Phase 3! Also, a big thank you to those who have commented on my posts the last few days, I didn't think anyone was reading!
