7/7/02 - Day 7
Last Day! Well I'm done with DNP for the time being. I've got some caps left over that I may try at a later time but for now I'm going to enjoy being able to move around without feeling lethargic or sweating like a whore in church.
This last day I felt warm, but I can tell I'm either T3 depleted or damn close because my surface temperature has dropped dramatically. I'm still dehydrated all the time so I'm gonna have to syphon some water through me for the next few days to clean out.
My energy level, when boosted by ECA, is pretty good. I did a little bit of wrestling today along with about 20 minutes of cardio later in the afternoon. I was completely exhausted and sweating like a beast afterwards but I was able to complete it without giving myself a heart attack. I think had I gone up to 600mg/day then I wouldn't have beena able to do ANYTHING. I was already pushing myself and using willpower to get in the workouts that I did. At a higher dose I think I may have been bed-ridden (or not, depends on how bad I soak it with sweat)!
This whole time I didn't have what I would consider 'carb cravings' so much as I was just hungry. My diet was relatively clean and the only fast food I had was like chicken fingers and chicken fillets so it could've been much worse. Still, if I end up doing another cycle in the future I'll invest in some redux or another strong appetite suppessant to kill my hunger.
To anyone contemplating doing a DNP cycle, I advise you to stay focused! It's so easy to forget about things and to just let things slip when you're feeling like shit. Examples would be letting your diet go to hell because you're too tired/lazy to cook, not drinking enough water because you're too tired/lazy to drink, not taking your supplements and vitamins throughout the day because you're too tired/lazy to pack them up. See a trend developing here? At least in my case, I had to force myself to do the smart things further into the cycle because I could feel myself wanting to be careless due to exhaustion. Don't let that be an excuse! Do it now or you'll have either really shitty results or you'll end up with some funky reaction to the DNP.
Since I'm done actually taking the caps, my updates over the next few days will be shorter summaries of how I'm feeling, the progress of the water loss, and afterthoughts about the whole thing and what I would do differently/same if I decide to do another cycle of DNP down the road.
Glad this has helped some out and entertained others!
