It's Almost Time!
As I sit here typing this, I should be packing my suitcase! I'm leaving for a 4-day trip to Houston in the morning - my chorus will be competing in the Sweet Adelines Regional contest for this area, and there has been a lot of blood, sweat and tears that have been put into our entertainment package. I'm hoping we'll win 1st this year (we took 2nd last year), and then I can come home and get on with my life!
My plan is to start the injections (this will be my second round) on Monday, April 7; however, there may be some complications. It seems that my first go-around with HCG was so successful, and my hypothalmus is resetting so thoroughly that my durned menstrual cycle is out of whack! I was counting on it being ON TIME last weekend so that I'd be in the clear to start as soon as I got back into town. But - I'm still waiting and waiting, and I just know that it's going to start this weekend, and is going to throw my schedule off for several days...darnnit!
I may not have mentioned this before, but I started with HCG through the help of a friend of mine from work. Her son and his wife are both chiropractors in the area who have both been very successful with HCG. He's lost over 100 lbs, and I can't remember how much she's lost - maybe 50 or 60 lbs. Anyway, they got me started with Phase 1, and then helped me keep my sanity through Phase 2. All along, they've been advising me about what to expect along the journey, and we discussed the menstrual cycle thing today. Apparently, it's common for it to be somewhat messed up while the hypothalmus is resetting. And then once everything settles down, then the cycle becomes much more normal. So, like it or not, there I am!
I haven't received my supplies from the HCG Challenge yet, but I have enough syringes and needles to get me through a short cycle - I think I'm going to try that approach this time around. Suffice it to say, I'm so excited to get started again that I can't stand it! I've gained a few lbs. since my last round, and have to admit that because I knew I'd be on the injections again, I haven't sweated it too much. And this is where I see the biggest challenge of them all: maintaining! Heck - getting the weight off is NOTHING. Now KEEPING it off is going to be a whole nuther story. So while losing the rest of my weight, I need to really figure out how I'm going to keep those bad old habits from coming back.
Ok - I really do have to go pack! The next time I "see" you all, I'll be loading like crazy! Hope you all have a great weekend!

Good luck to you and will enjoy hearing about your competition when you get back! I haven't gotten my supplies yet, so we may be starting about the same time. I'm so anxious to get going! Talk to you soon!
