R8, P2, VLCD 13 - And Up and Up and Up...

Today's weight: 178.2lbs. Ugh! So disgusted that this is happening. No void for days and the urine is a trickle. I haven't done the apple cider vinegar yet (I've sort of been avoiding it). No more waiting. It's going down tonight. I hope there's some relief tomorrow. I also plan to do another super cleanse along with it. Jesus take the wheel with my water retention and weight increase!

R6, P2, VLCD 72 Hours - Interesting Discovery

I'm still not well, but I am doing a bit better. With all the voids, I had a 1.4lb drop in weight, putting me at 173.2 pounds this morning. I couldn't put my finger on why everything was so watery and then. Eureka! It hit me like a flash - the apple cider vinegar. I took one shot of it Wednesday night, one shot Thursday morning and another Thursday evening. I opted for just the medication on Friday, but the entire day, I had runny bowels (I know...too graphic). Initially, I thought it was just the virus working its way out and in a way, it was. Other idea to keep in mind for the future (nature's body flush).

With my illness headed out (I hope!), I've probably stabilized and won't see much in the way of change in my weight. I was so excited about P3 starting and now that it's here, I don't know what to feel. It's not a good idea to introduce a lot of dairy when you're body is trying to heal. It can create even more mucous, which I certainly don't need. I'll probably keep things fairly tame tomorrow. I know I'll be putting into action all the things that I've learned; how sodium effects me, what number of carbs will send me spiraling into a "Steak Day", the amount of water I need, apple cider vinegar and what it does to me. I made up a batch of guacamole to snack on and there's a fair amount of protein around the house to eat. I'll probably be doing a bit of shopping in the next few days.

Since my appetite returned, I treated myself to a sandwich. Yep! It's a lot more than 100 grams, but protein does well for me even on HCG. Besides, I figured with the horrible eating I had yesterday, I figured I could indulge in a few more grams of protein. The listing isn't quite accurate because I did not have ketchup on my sandwich. That would definitely effect the carb numbers. Anyway, here it is:

R6, P2, VLCD 24 Hours - Cold Remedies and Water Retention

I feel a little bloated and it's really no wonder. I've been taking Mucinex, Nyquil, zinc and airborne. Well, I only took the Mucinex and airborne yesterday but still. I think it's all forcing me to hold onto my water. Today, we had surprise drug tests and I had to work to go to the potty. That hasn't happened in the entire time I've been drinking my two liters. At any rate, I got it down and was able to provide a specimen.

This evening, I finally had a void (it's been days!). I took a super cleanse today and I think that helped move things along. I just have to remember to take it every other day. That seemed to be a very doable schedule with those supplements.

So, it's the first 24 hours without the injection and all seems to be okay in the hunger department. I still get hungry at meal times, but I'm not ravenous. I have to wonder if my illness is dulling my desire to eat. Whatever it is, I'll take it.

I had a small loss this morning (.2lbs) putting me at 174.4lbs this morning. This was quite the surprise since I was sure the bloating would cause a gain. It's amazing that things are still going well and I'm very pleased. We'll see what the next 48 hours brings:
