Today is the last day of HCG Injections for me. My weight today will determine my "set point".
Drumroll Please....-----> I'm heading to the scale now.
Hoping to have reached my goal weight of 36 lbs.
The Verict and Final Weight is............219.8
36.2 pounds lost
I must stay within 2 pounds up or down of 219.8 for the next 4 weeks while in Phase 3 stabilization.
Hot diggity Damn!
I am so excited to start Phase 3. I want..no I need to work out. I went yesterday and bought new gloves. I'm going to transform my living room into a workout area.
I have my dumbbells, kettle bells, elliptical machine. Resistance bands, bender ball. I am so ready to go. I had some questions about working out while on P3. I have submitted them to Candice Eckberg, she is a personal trainer and an HCG diet success.
1)Since I have to stay within 2 lbs of my LIDW (last injection day weight) do I compensate with more calories if I start to lose? That's the biggest question.
I know that working out and working your muscles can cause inflamation and water weight retention while the muscles repair. I will be eating lots of protein and taking muscle sparing supplements.
I also know that lean muscle mass burns more calories than fat. so I am hoping to increase my lean muscle mass in preparation for my next round. Which should begin on March 19th.
For now, I continue on the 500 calories for the next 72 hours. Then I can start adding calories, I can add fats and dairy. Basically just triple my food intake. Have breakfast. Add my protein shakes.
Looking forward to some cheese. I will continue to use fitday.com to track my progress.
I need to go over the food list for P3 and go get some groceries. It will be nice to have a little more variety.
