One Week

Wow. Not fun! I'm still uber fatigued and hungry. I've lost 8.2 pounds, however. Sadly, that rate does not keep up as a fair portion of the big weight loss the first week is fluid. Even so, my clothes are looser and my face is thinner. Man, that's always where I show it, in my face. I retain a ton of water, all there. And that's on non-diet days, too. So daily my face changes. What's up with that?

I've also been having really long, detailed, and vivid dreams. This morning's (before I woke up too early at 5:00), I spent an annoying hour with someone I know trying to talk to them about something and figure out what's been going on with them. It was totally fruitless and I woke up very frustrated. The person was being so purposefully vague and oblique--argh! Not a good way to start the day--lol!

Yesterday I tried on some clothes, which completely exhausted me. Crikey, this diet is taking it out of me. I deal with daily fatigue anyway, but having the level ramped up makes me mad. I got very little done yesterday and ended up not going into town as planned because I just felt too exhausted to manage it.

Lame! I guess I'm 1/3 done. Each cycle's weight loss is a bit different. Some cycles have gone brilliantly, some not so much. I'm hoping this one falls into the former and over the next two weeks before I hit the LIW (Last Injection Weight)I lose 10 more #--at least. That would be good. Then I'd be well and below my last cycle's LIW, which would make me do this: :).

We have preliminary plans next weekend to meet some friends in a neighbooring town to do some harvesty stuff. I hope my body's up to the job because right now it takes everything I've got to keep teaching, cooking, and cleaning. And I've got to dig deep to do that much.
