VLC day 3.
Dosage 160 iu @ 9:30pm yesterday.
Last night I didn’t feel giddy, no headache, no metallic taste so at this point I’m going to guess my body has adjusted. I upped my hCG dosage and today I didn’t get hungry until 11:30. I was able to stick it out until lunchtime. This is good. I’ll stick to this dosage for a few days.
Today I’m working with SF with a long commute on both sides. This means I’m going to be very hesitant to drink a lot of water. I brought my lunch from home so I should be golden on food.
Blue bottle coffee today was hard. Usually when I got into SF I get a quad affagato with only one scoop (4 shots espresso + 1 scoop vanilla gelato). The Americano wasn’t bad.. but it wasn’t the sheer bliss of their affagatos. I’ll definitely be looking forward to that after the diet.
Another hard part happened today during lunch. Since I was in SF I scheduled a lunch with another team I work with a lot. I explained that I was on a restrictive diet and suggested we do a team brown bag lunch in the <br /> room (break room, the coffee shop on the first floor of my office that primarily serves only building employees). This went very well. It was great to hang out with the team and just chat. Then, about half way through the lunch the guy who runs the <br /> room turned on the popcorn machine. My work has a popcorn machine that makes movie-style popcorn and supplies it to employees for free. The smell of popcorn, salt and butter was maddening. I made it through and didn’t have any of the popcorn.. but boy was I thinking about it.
At the end of the day today I noticed that I’m a bit crampy and constipated. Since my period is still a week or more off I blame the diet + the illness I had right before the diet. I hope this.. dissipates.
