Becoming Coco

So I had to take a break from my GC experiment because I accidentally left the bottle at a friends house who lives 2 hours away. They were curious so I just told them "hey why don't you keep them and see if it works for you?" And that's what they're doing.  As for me I've gained two pounds. It's such a small number that it could be natural fluctuation, or it could be that since I stopped taking the GC I'm gaining it back. Who knows? Anyway I've ordered some more bottles and they should be here soon. So we will find out later if it works completely on me. On the plus side now I can tell you if it works for my friend too!

(Cool picture from my hike, more on that later) Overall the first week went pretty good. With my BMI range I shouldn't be losing more than 1 pound a week and I didn't so no surprise there. The positives: I went down 4 pounds, but only 1 is verifiable (see previous post on why scales suck). And I went down 1 body fat % point.  The negatives : I had a headaches and cloudy thinking. However if you read my notes there were other possible explanations for those phenomena.  Overall a good start and if the trend continues I may be a believer of GC, but it really depends on if the trend continues.  (Well work night technically, but I do work at school during the day. I'm a secret agent by night.) Day 4 GC Today I feel tired and cloudy headed, but I think it's because I just woke up from a nap. I was tired probably because I got to bed at 3 am. I couldn't sleep last night because I had coffee at 10pm.  Note to self: don't have coffee at 10 pm no matter how cold and ti...

  So I did some research and apparently scales commonly suck at life and get things wrong all the time! ( http://www.liftingrevolution.com/10-reasons-the-scale-isnt-budging-yet )( for a great article on this )   I tried to see if I'm losing weight from the supplement, but my  scale says I've gained two pounds! Then  I realized if I move it to a spot on the floor a few feet over it says I've lost two pounds! Apparently this is common with digital scales. You have to measure yourself on the scale using the same exact position and never move the scale to a new location. It's best to wear the same exact clothes every time or be naked. And you should measure your weight several times until the scale gives you the lowest weight or the same reading several times in a row. You may have to adjust the way you stand and practice standing the same exact way every time. So I may never know my actual exact weight, but if I stand right I'll have a measurement to go off of to ...
