The adventure has begun.......Day #2

I started my experience on December 25, 2008. It is pretty easy to make Christmas day a load day in this house. We are currently with family for the holidays and there are festive foods everywhere you turn. And trust me when I say that I've taken advantage of that.

I almost wasn't able to start yesterday. We were traveling and it was in some pretty adverse weather. We've been pummeled by snow storms for several days now so we were traveling in a blizzard. We didn't arrive until shortly after 11am and I hadn't eaten yet. I was tempted to postpone my start by a day or 2 but then decided that this was the perfect opportunity to prove how obsessively dedicated I am to following this protocol and sticking to my word.

So, at just after 11am I self administered my first injection. Being that I am doing a 40 day protocol, I ordered 3 ampules of 2000UI HCG from DD.CA. I mixed the first vial yesterday morning with 8cc's of bac. water. I used 1cc to reconstitute the powder HCG in its own vial. I then transferred it to a mixing vial. I then added 7 more cc's to the mix. That gives me 125UI per .5cc injection. I am using .5cc insulin syringes.

I injected into my stomach and it was a breeze. No pain whatsoever. Not even a poke like a flu shot.

Today is Load Day #2. I am just about to have the breakfast feast. Then in about 2-3 hours we'll have the lunch feast....then snack feast....then dinner feast, then snack feast....and on and on until I wanna puke. I'll be relieved when the load days are over.

Start weight: 222.0

Day #1 222.0 (load day)
Day #2 222.2 (load day)


I weighed myself yesterday before loading. I weighed myself again this morning and found only a .2lb gain. I thought it would be more. I hope I ate enough. Time will tell.
