HCG Maintenance Phase Day 4/ Body 4 Life Day 3

Holy crap I'm sore!

I did the upper-body workout as prescribed in Body for Life. I knew I was going to be a bit weaker having not worked out during Phase II of HCG Protocol so I lowered the weights but I'm still hurting...and that took place on Monday.

Surprisingly enough, I'm eating more calories (though probably not enough) and still losing small amounts of weight. I'm down to 181.4 as of this morning. I'm holding true to the HCG Protocol by avoiding carbs and sugar as much as possible and I'm still staying away from animal fat (butter, salad dressing, etc) but have been adding plant based fats like olives and avocado (can you tell I like olives and avocados?).

I've yet to take my Week One photos for the Body for Life phase of my body restructuring but I assure you they will be done and posted.
------------------------------------------
On another note, I want to give an advance "Thank You!" to Tutorjam and especially to my math tutor Roy (who will most likely never read this). I have to tell anyone reading this; if you have any need for tutoring, go to www.TutorJam.com and tell them your needs. I hired them to find a tutor for me to help with math fundamentals in preparation for the GRE. My tutor Roy is outstanding. He's patient and he knows the GRE, it's requirements and common questions, exceptionally well.
I'm still waiting for my transcripts to arrive at UNLV so they can forward my application to the Graduate MIS program for review.

That's all for today.

Day 1 Maintenance-HCG

So, I finally had some eggs! It's funny, I never realized how much the American lifestyle is so dependant on carbs. I was thinking, hey I can go out to eat now! So we did and everything has toast or "breakfast potatos". I didn't have either. I had two scrambled eggs and two little sausage patties....hey it's been 43 days since I've had any real fat! Any way, it was delicious and surprisingly filling, even without the toast and potatos.

So tomorrow I will start the Body for Life workout plan and diet (minus the carbs for the next 20 days) and I will be posting the results of that as well as pics.

On a different topic. I got my application in to the UNLV Graduate School so, just waiting to hear back from them. I may have to take a prerequiste or two. If I do, I'll be starting school on Aug 23rd or so.

If anyone that is reading this happens to be in an MIS program (especially UNLV) send me a message, I have some questions for you. (kind like throwing a message in a bottle huh?)

Until tomorrow,

About Me

My photo
I've tried just about every diet a guy can think about. I've tried Belly-Off from Men's Health, Body for Life by Bill Phillips, P90X (Holy Crap!), The Testosterone Diet, and just starving myself. Nothing worked even remotely close to Dr. Simeon's HCG Protocal. Now, for those of us who have completed the protocol, there is a new challenge, how do we eat now? Well, I don't have the answers, but I do know that I like to eat whole foods and I know that they can be easier to make than we think possible. This blog will feature recipes as well as just random sharing.
