Arose to 176.8lbs today. Pretty sure the salty Miso is to blame and also the lack of true weight from the void I had, yesterday. With a void like that, I would have lost two pounds without the HCG. Anyway, this is probably closer to what I should have been in the first place.

Today, we went to church and then drove to the houses we're "eye-balling" in our city. It's nice to dream and I'll be thrilled when we actually by; however, I don't want to put the cart before the horse. There maybe other options that we're not aware of (such as foreclosures, additional short sales and brand new listings). We meet with our realtor on Tuesday and I'm hopeful he'll have more to show us. Things are getting rather thin around here.

I prepared a crock-pot, pot roast today. So yummy! I used Lipton Onion soup mix, had my allotted amount along with some cabbage. The chicken I had today came from a burrito (I just ate the guts). Not sure if the amount of salt will sabotage me. The good news is that this is my last week and the weekend is over. I do much better during the week.

Here's what I had:

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!

Today's weight: 177.4lbs. Somewhat not surprised and feeling extra bloated to boot. The salt is hanging on. Ugh! I've been drinking all day and barely going to the bathroom. I also took a super cleanse and I may just go ahead and do two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. The two together seem to get things moving and help me flush away the fluids. I'm in need, desperate need!

The day was pretty good, despite still dealing with frozen temperatures. I'm in the midst of trying to get a lesson plan together for Girl Scouts this Friday. The badge I'd like to work on is My Family History. I thought it appropriate; especially considering the time of the year. I hope I can find some fun things for us to do and I'm prayerful they'll listen and gain something from the experiences.

We finally received the paperwork we were waiting on to ditch our timeshare. Woohoo! So excited that we won't have to worry about dues and maintenance fees anymore. We've found that we can book a condo that's nicer and less expensive, even on the fly. It was fine to have a few years back. Now, it's just another way money is being siphoned from the budget.

Here's what I had today (praying that it will not cause me to retain/gain anymore):

I woke up ravenous this morning (no dinner last night). I ate my egg whites and bacon for breakfast. Then, two cheese sticks when I got to work, along with some cocktail peanuts. That seemed to do the trick. Lots and lots of salt today (not good), but my dinner was meek. I'm trying to get the ratios together. Big breakfast, medium lunch, small dinner. I had a small loss from yesterday .2lbs, which still has me in the blasted 170s. I'll be glad when they go away, permanently.

I have a physical on Thursday and lunch with a friend, tomorrow. I also have cheer fittings with my eldest tomorrow (along with a chunk of money down for the uniform). I'll be a busy bee for the next few days. My goal for tomorrow is to try not to go overboard with the meal (I'll be opting out of the rice, of course, and taking chicken over my normal tofu). As for Thursday, it would be nice to be back in the lower range. We'll see what happens. I'll just keep drinking my water.

Here's what I had:

P. S. I have this odd powdered milk listing because I'm not sure what 7-Eleven uses for their coffee. This may or may not be accurate. For the next few days, I'll be making my own coffee with my half and half (fewer carbs and calories).

It didn't start off that way, at least. We went to church and heard a wonderful message, then home to a brunch that I prepared for eight people (two, low-carb quiches, turkey sausage kielbasa, buttermilk pancakes, pumpkin soup and cinnamon rolls). Everyone raved and I barely ate, which typically is the case when I cook for a larger group of people.

The immediate family then went for a drive where I took pictures of some  deer, a llama and a turkey.  We were driving in hubby's four runner. A lead-foot in any car, he really tends to up the anti in this monster of a vehicle. It scares the crap out of me! I fussed at him a few times for going over the speed limit (25mph in this particular neighborhood of gargantuan homes). After which, he ceased in speaking to me. Fine! I cooked all day with no help from him and he wants to give me attitude?! To make matters worse, we went to the store and I brought up the fact that he didn't purchase a side item for the baked chicken he'd chosen for dinner. We had talked about artichoke/spinach dip yesterday, so I thought, why not get it today?

"There's guacamole at home," he said.

"Oh. Is there enough," I asked.

"There's enough for me."

WTH?! Well that's just great, I said to him out loud. Then, he started back-pedaling and said something about there being salad, too. At that point, I tuned him out and clammed up myself. It's been that way ever since. He's also been taking his anger/frustration out on the girls. It's all I can take at this point. I've since showered and closed the door on everything. I'm actually looking forward to everyone just going to bed and the day ending. So sad, especially since it was so beautiful and it was a day of service. Why does this keep happening?

I suppose the upside is that, whenever I'm depressed, I don't eat. All I had today were the couple of slices of quiche I managed to snag before my relatives at everything. I had a larger than expected gain from yesterday (1.4lbs, taking me to 170.8lbs after a small void). I gather the salt from the chicken wings was the culprit. There's plenty of salt in the quiche I had today, but I'm hopeful my low calorie count will work in my favor. Not something I plan to do often but, there you have it. Here's the scoop:

always ends up in a high salt day. Me and the dang salt have been having quite the affair, lately.

Breakfast was fine, but I had to leave work and go straight to my hair appointment right at lunch time. I grabbed a KFC double-down on my way to pick up my eldest at the end of my appointment (it was the quickest, on-the-way thing I could grab). I know the protein is great, but the salt is out of control. I suppose the bacon and cheese really don't help matters. These are "treats" I won't have too often. I suppose I could have purchased a chicken breast and pulled the skin off but I was famished and ordered the first high protein thing I could think of. We'll be seeing a gain tomorrow for sure!

My hair looks great, but I feel like my scalp has been sewed up. Ouch! It will take about a week for things to loosen up and feel more comfortable. I always schedule a hair appointment two weeks out from when I have my event (whatever that may be).

Today, I had a .2lb gain putting me at 174lbs even. Still within range of my LIW but pretty sure things will be on the high tomorrow, I think I'll opt for a light breakfast and salad for lunch. Here's the rest of today's damage:

I had a loss today. Really?! After all the salt and the stomach turning with all the cheese. It was quite the surprise! I had a .8lb drop, taking me down to 173.8lb. I'm pretty sure this is a fleeting loss with what I had today. The salt was high and I didn't drink my entire two liters. I just wasn't as thirsty today (maybe the rain had something to do with it).

The day at work was slow again. I have two more days to get through before the weekend and I'm kind of hoping for something to make the days move quickly. Tomorrow I get my braids in. I'm excited about that, but know that there will be another two hours of just sitting. My hairdresser is communicative (usually) so, I hope we'll be able to talk through most of the hair appointment. That would make it fun.

Hubby is in a funk for some reason. After last night's "festivities", I thought he'd be in a better mood. Not sure what happened between last night and this morning, but he's been "out of sorts". It happens. Being married is never a straight forward event. There are twists and turns all over the place.

So, here's what I had. Can't imagine what tomorrow will bring. I'm learning to expect the unexpected:

It's rather frustrating when you go to work only part time and the day just drags and drags and drags. I suppose it will be like this for a bit, since fire season is nearly done. My department is usually called on medicals more than anything else anyway, but even those calls have been limited. Not that I'm eager for people to be in trauma, I just want to have something to do.

The guys are doing some training and I've actually asked to participate (at least it's something and learning is lifelong, right?).  On Friday, they'll be doing some testing on a new structure and I asked if I could go. The Chief seemed surprise, but happy to allow it. That's two hours of "field tripping" so, even if the paperwork is limited, I'll only have an hour or two of actual office work.

It was another high salt, high cheese day. I did drink my two liters, however, so that was good. I .2lb loss, taking me back to my LIW of 174.6lbs. I've been trying to watch the salt but, when the cheese/dairy goes up, so does the salt. I'll try to balance a bit better. My fat and protein was extremely high today. I hope that counters all the salt I had. I guess we'll see.

Oh! Hubby was off, so we met and went to the movies for lunch. I enjoyed the movie, but the writing was lacking (it was Riddick, after all). Here's what I had today:

Oh, so bad this morning and oh so bloated! I think I'm having my period (so to speak). My lower back is screaming and the salt just won't leave (of course, I keep adding more salt to the problem, so

that's my fault for sure. I was at 177.2lbs this morning, a 1.4lb gain since yesterday.

I didn't cancel my dinner engagement with my friend. Instead, I planned around it. I had my two liters of water today, along with a cup of coffee at lunch, then chicken tandoori for dinner (delicious!). I hope eating the chicken pieces will make a difference for tomorrow. I made Taco Bake for my girls for dinner, so I'll have that for lunch tomorrow (assuming the salt will high-tail it out of here). Still don't have my Oopsie rolls though (I'll take care of that tomorrow, too). Here's the tally for today:

Hubby and I had our date lunch day at Sizzler. It was salad, salad, salad and plenty of wings (with the skin peeled off). I tried to come up with an accurrate total, but I'm not sure if I did. It's not like they have the nutritional value of the entire salad bar. For dinner, hot wings and a bit of artichoke dip. Everything was tasty and I probably would have felt worse about it if I hadn't have had a small loss (.2lbs, putting me at 175.8lbs) this morning (anything is a victory after all that water retention).

Now, with my salt fest, I may have screwed up and created more damage. I really hope not. The day was great, the company was phenomenal and the food was yummy. Tomorrow, I'll be going out to dinner with my girlfriend. If my weight isn't copacetic, I'll fast until dinner and make sure to have chicken for the main meal. I hope I don't have to resort to such drastic measures but, with the salt-fest I had, I won't be surprised.

Here's what I "think" my totals came out to, today:

P.S. I had a little nip of Ezra Brooks and coke zero at dinner. That would add an additional 65 calories.

P.P.S.  Lots of little "wormy" voids today. Not sure if it was the Miralax, the probriotics or just time for things to move on out. Whatever it is, I'll take it!

I've gotten a bit desperate, so I added some Miralax to my last glass of water today. I'm praying for overnight results. I'm also praying that the water finally releases in a gush. Not knowing what my

cycle is anymore, I have to wonder if I would be in the midst of it right now. Excuses but good ones, right?

Anyway, I had to go into the office tonight and it's late so I'm a bit slap happy. Thankfully, I didn't have a change in weight. I suppose if things go on the rise tomorrow, it's a correction day for me (I hope not because hubby and I have another lunch date planned). On a side note, I need to make some Oopsie rolls. The would taste so good for breakfast tomorrow morning.

Here's what I had:

I woke up several times last night; hacking, coughing and generally sounding like a six-pack-a-day smoker. Ugh! I'm over it! I had a 1.4lb (176 pounds) gain and I feel super bloated. I know it's

probably all water, but it doesn't make it any less frustrating. If two things could happen (a full night's rest and a water dump), I know I'd be okay. I'll be praying extra hard for a miracle because I don't want to have to do a correction day...especially when I know it's from being sick.

Work went fairly well, but I still sound croaky. Ever time I got a call, I'd end up in a coughing spell for several minutes afterwards. Not cool when you're trying to be professional. I drank all my water today (2 liters) with lemon added as well as a large cup of coffee with no milk. I railed against my decision to not have dairy and ended up with a bit on my omelette this morning, along with a small wedge of Laughing Cow with my Fearless Beef Frank for dinner (that was yummy, by the way). Hubby said he found me sugar-less smoked sausage, but after further inspection, not only does it have regular sugar, but brown sugar as well. The nutrition label, however, indicates no sugar in the product. How does that work?! Not sure that I'll chance it with everything else that's going on.

I haven't hit my two pounds over my LIW, but I'm scarily close. I'm hopeful that the water will leave in the next few days...really praying on it, as a matter of fact. Hubby seems to be clearing up now and if I'm running the same length of time he is, I should be feeling more like me by the weekend.

So, if I'm up another .2lbs or more in the morning, it's a Steak or Chicken day for me. Bummer! Here's what I had today (my calories are a bit higher, but I did much better with my sodium intake):

If we're talking net carbs, I only had 17 because of the high fiber in my avocado. It was so good, too. I hope it helps with my inner-works (they've stopped again).

I spent all day in bed today...all day. I drank lots of liquids (mostly tea), including my 2 liters of

water. Once I started taking in the water, it was amazing how much better I felt. I really slack on my water intake on the weekends. I've got to work on that.

I had a slight increase in weight; .4lbs, taking me to 174.4 which is just .2lbs under my LIW. I'm trying to be careful but my salt intake is higher than I'd like. I think it would be better if I could include a bit more dairy. The illness needs to high-tail it outta here so that I can. I miss my cheese! There are Babybels in the fridge waiting for me to devour them!

I didn't eat very much today in hopes that injesting lots of liquids would be better for me. I did give myself a treat (sugarless chocolate after dinner and a little brandy in my tea for a hot toddy). It's a risk and I'll probably pay for it tomorrow. I'll be watching things more closely in the following days.  Here's what I had:
