Day 35: Party's over, time to go home

Over the weekend, I hit the wall.  My body turned on me and said, "No more!"  I got so weak, it's not even funny.  I hoped it would go away, but it didn't.  So I looked it up and it said sometimes when you get to the end, the body does some sort of adjustment against the hcg (I'm calling it a counterstrike) and it won't work anymore.  So, the only treatment is to stop shots immediately, eat a little more of the very low calorie foods (one more apple per day and a little more protein) and transition to stabilization.

So, while I'm disappointed I only lost 26# (instead of the 35# I was working toward), I am so relieved I get to eat Thursday I could cry.  But that would take too much energy.  And considering it's left me so weak I fell asleep in the tub at 7:00 last night--three times--it's all for the best.

Still no voice at one week.  Lame!  Doing school should be interesting.  Anna and I did it before, we can do it again.  She does the out loud reading, I type instructions.  It's just difficult.
