Last night while chatting with the fiance about the CrazyStupid Diet he expressed a lot of concern about injections (and when I say a “lot of concern” I’m really understating it). So slight change of plans. On Saturday a friend of ours who is a surgeon is going to come by and show me exactly how to do the injections and stay safe. So I won’t start the injections until after I meet with him.
Physically:
This morning my scale said 292.8 (it also said 292.0.. but it only said that once.. and my scale is remarkably fickle when it comes to showing weight). That’s a loss of 1.2 lbs. I’m pre-hCG.. so I’m going to attribute this to losing the lbs gained from the triple B this last weekend. I think my current set-point is at about 288.
My blood tests from yesterday came back and I’m still not diabetic or at least I’m still slightly below the cut-off point. I got a 94 and 99 is the cut off. Last time I did the test I was at a 95.. so yeah for scoring better. My white blood counts are all back to normal levels. Well all of them except for the one that is a marker for “allergens”.. Yeah.. I’m still allergic to my cat.. and I still continue to (mostly) ignore it. I’m also immune to Rubella.. for whatever that’s worth. Not sure about iron.. I didn’t see a test that seemed pertinent to my iron levels.. I guess I’ll wait until I chat with the doctor.
Last night my left shoulder started aching like a stiff neck. It’s mostly better this morning but still sore. Yesterday while eating I bit down on something on top of the crown I got on Monday.. and it hurt.. then last night I noticed that new crown was cold sensitive. I’ve called the dentist about it and he advised I should take Advil for the next few days and call him if it’s still sensitive. My SI-Joint still aches.. but mostly that pain was eclipsed by the sore neck.
Wow.. don’t I just sound like a bitchy falling-apart mess. I’m not really.. it just sort of sounds like it. 🙂
New Schedule:
4/8-4/9 Drops + Loading

5/18-5/20 No Drops + VLCD
5/21-6/10 Stabilization – no starch no sugar stay within +/-2 lbs
Doing injections is really simple. Just make sure you wipe everything down with the alcohol pad. I’ve done right around 50 injections on myself now, with no problems. But, then, I watched every time I was ever given an injection – so I was comfortable about stabbing myself in the belly with a needle. LOL
I was actually WAY more nervous about mixing!
You know what, though – it’s almost better to load on a weekend. That way you can concentrate on stuffing yourself with lots of high-good-fat yummies.
Oh! If you want, I’ll send you the Excel spreadsheet that I use for my tracking & notes… Lemme know.
