Firstly: Yahoo!! My first day of weight loss and I lost 3.6lbs! The exact same amount I lost on my first day of my first round. I'm very happy with that loss and look forward to hopefully losing another 30lbs in the next 40 days. Today was a little easier than yesterday, I cooked my burger up before work and packed all of my lunch. I felt no need to touch it before noon which was nice, the HCG seems to be working although I am still haunted slightly by hunger. The hunger should only last for a couple more days and then it will be gone, just like last round.
Secondly: I'm an idiot. For my injections it seems that I bought different needles then the ones I was using last round. The ones I had used before were made for "comfort" (riiiight...) but apparently that means that they have added a lotion or something to the tips so they slide in easier and you can barely feel them. These ones I have are not like that so they seem to pinch a bit more, nothing extreme just not as subtle. Once they are in they are painless but it takes slightly more effort to suck it up every day and stab myself.
Yesterday I thought I would get smart and do it like the professionals, a nice smooth jab! Quick and painless, right? Yea... that didn't work. I felt like I'd stabbed myself in the gut!! I was hopping around pinching my skin for a good 30 seconds cursing at myself for thinking I was a pro. Slow and easy wins the race, y'all. I have a small bruise on my tummy from my idiocy so that remind my not to do that again. Hmmm... I wonder how many people I've just completely grossed out with today's entry? Not so interested in the diet now, are ya? No worries, just so everyone knows, there is a sublingual version of the diet called the HCG drops. I'm not sure where to get these that are not homeopathic but if you do find them they involve no injections, just a couple drops under your tongue three times a day. A little easier but psychologically not as impactful. But, to each their own as long as it works!
Aside from hurting myself, I am curious about my weight loss tomorrow because while, yes, I followed all of the rules for eating; I did have some Splenda in my coffee this morning instead of Stevia, which is recommended, and I also had a facial. While on the diet you are supposed to avoid all moisturizers and lucky or unlucky for me, my facialist uses food based products such as an apricot scrub and a coconut mask etc. Interestingly enough though, my facialist is also on the HCG diet (thanks to me, woop woop) and she does these masks every day but she has still lost 17lbs so far! I think she'll lose about 20lbs total for the diet which is very impressive!! You go girl! To counter my facial I'm going to abstain from my Melba toasts today. No biggie!
Other than that, no cheats. I bought a battery for my new scale and it works perfectly. I made my chicken and beef for the next few days which will make it considerably more easy to stick to the diet. I am curious what the future of this diet holds for me as I will be on it for my birthday, Halloween and my fiancee's birthday! No fun will be had by moi. So worth it though.
