Update

Well, there are changes! I did finally hear from the doc. She will be mailing my meds to me.

The big change is the start date. I have a tenacious virus that I'm still struggling with. I feel quite sick and totally fatigued. I'm not snapping out of it quickly like I hoped I would. So, it makes no sense to start the diet immediately.

I checked the calendar, and I can do it one week later with no adverse affects, schedule wise. I need to go into it with at least some strength. The downside of the diet (one of many) is it causes, at least in me, extreme fatigue. Going into it when I'm not at full strength (such as it is) is foolish.

So, over the next week, I'll try and get my stregth back, plus do better with the lowering of my carb. Normally, I'm uber-disciplined in regards to my diet. Lately...not so much.

My plan is to use the runway to good advantage. I'd rather get a couple of the re-gained pounds off beforehand anyway.

I am irritated that I'm sick, though. This is Spring Break! I did not want to spend it feeling like the floor of a movie theater.
