Day 31 - Week 5

Did not sleep well last night. In bed around midnight. Not asleep until after 3. Could not shut the mind down which is not something I normally have issue with. Assuming that the Db Overdrive and Thyro-drive may have had something to do with that. I took 2 pills of each around 6:30am and 1 pill each around 2:30pm. As far as today goes, feel ok working off a bit more than 4 hours of sleep.

On the scales this morning, I thought I was going to see 233 as the digital number was hovering there for a bit, but then jumped up to the same weight as yesterday's with what seemed to be more of a built in logic smoothing function than an actual measurement? Who knows. Happy to see the fat percentage number drop by a tenth.

Weight: 235
Body Fat: 27.1%
Water Weight: 56.0%

1 Db Overdrive Side effects

The only negative side effects I've noticed after 3 weeks is not sleeping well. On the good side is greatly reduced appetite, the ability to focus on getting things done, and on top of that, more energy. All in the the not sleeping well is made up by the good side effects.

Day 20 - Week 3

Yesterday was the first day I took the full dose of One Db Overdrive and Thyro-Drive. Before that I was taking just 3 of the 4 pills each day.  I did split them into 3 doses instead of two.  I took the one pill each in the morning, then two pills each around 10AM, then one pill each around 2pm.  My appetite was completely under control and my energy levels where very good. In addition my focus was out of the world good as after my workout, I sat down with a technical book and read over 100 pages. As some of you may know, technical books, in this case a book on code are not a lot of fun to read and will often put one to sleep.  Reading just 20 pages is a challenge.

Sleep did not come easy - Other than a 10 minute power nap around 7pm, I did not get to sleep until after 2:30. 

Day 5

Not much sleep again last night. Actually looking forward to going off the pills this weekend assuming that I will be able to sleep better. Not really craving sleep all that much, but feel like I need it more for it's recuperative powers than anything else.

Also will be interesting to see how quickly my appetite returns this weekend while off the Db Overdrive. It has been nice to not crave the sweets.

Went on a bike ride yesterday that had some hills. Was very happy with the power I felt my legs were generating. It was a social ride, so the numbers did not translate well for performance checking -- should have time today and this weekend for some better measurements.

Down to 237. Tried on a pair of size 38 shorts. I could actually wear them - albeit still to tight. If things keep going well, I'll be in them by next weekend.

Weight: 237 //Down 5 pounds.
Body Fat: 28.0%
Water Weight: 55.3%
Muscle: 34.4%

Day 3

Surprised to see another fall in weight this morning. Will have to remind myself that this is likely water weight that is being shed as my sodium intake is way down.

Did not sleep well last night. In bed at 10:30, asleep at 11:00. Up at 12:30 and fought for sleep the rest of the night. Up at 5 feeling ok. It felt a bit like when I drink too much coffee too late into the day. Speaking of coffee, I did have my last cup around 5 yesterday. Still, I'm thinking the 1 Db Overdrive was likely the cause.

Weight: 238 //Down 5 pounds.
Body Fat: 28.0%
Water Weight: 55.3%
