First Loading Day Completed!
Well, yes, it's finally here, TIME to start again! YAY! I feel like it's the first day of the rest of my life, although that is a bit cliche. I had a little more problem mixing this time because I was trying it a new way--so I could inject only a little over half rather than one whole IU. Toni said that my legs would hurt less if I injected less liquid, so I had to figure out how to mix it with less liquid but to have the same potency. It was a little awkward, but I did it! And the shot didn't hurt at all! Some people ask, how can you give yourself a shot? But I find it's easier than having someone else do it--partly because I'm in control, I guess!
Anyway--loading was weird because I really have been off sugar, and kind of didn't want to even try all the "goodies" I could supposedly now have on loading day. We went out to eat at Golden Corral, and although I did have ice cream and a cookie, mostly what I wanted to eat was all the protein and fruit! My tastes really have changed.
But I got so full I didn't want to eat much else. This time I'm not trying to stuff myself silly, but just "eat to capacity" as Dr. S. says. I don't really want to gain 6 pounds again to lose again! But I guess I'll do what I have to to get off to a good start. Please check back and make comments to motivate me, because then I'll write more! I'm going to try to write more, almost every day if I can. And guess what, it's late, so I'm going to sign off now! Until next time, Merry

Good luck to you Meredith. Loading is always hard. I never gain that much doing the load days but then I still have the same eating habits the next day and you can't possibly do that on 500 calories.
Merry,
You sound super motivated and super encouraged!! That is AWESOME!!!! You can sooo do this.... Good luck to you!!!

Cherie and Loris--sorry I just saw your comments today--they are VERY appreciated! Yes, I am digging in again and plan to keep going DOWN. I'm glad you both are still at it too, since our team of challengers has dwindled! Best wishes for both of you as well! --Merry
