Thursday, May 8

Woke up this morning, and felt like a whole new woman! Still woke up in the middle of the night last night, but haven't had the nagging fatigue today that I normally have. Am wondering if it was just a particularly rough monthly cycle. Without going into specifics, I have to say that the one just ended is one of the worst and longest duration I've had in years - literally.

The scale is still up over my LIW, but since I start injections again in a couple of days, I'm not going to get too bogged down with worrying about it.

Noticed that my body is still changing, even without losing much lately. My thighs are definitely thinner, and the booty is smaller. The fat pockets that have always been at the tops of my hips appear to have melted away - I don't look so mis-shapen anymore. Best of all, though, the belly that has always been like a huge permanent "fanny pack" just keeps on shrinking! To me, THAT is one of the miracles of HCG. If I had just starved myself (which I now know that I could never do), and just lost a bunch of weight, I know the weight would have come off differently and I'd have hangy skin all over the place.

I'm excited about starting the next round, because the next stop WILL be: Onederland! :)
