Just when I think I own this diet, that I know what to expect and what to do about it, something new happens.
Yesterday was weird. My last medication injection was Tuesday. So yesterday, I forgot myself and climbed four flights of stairs. I had a chiropractor appt. scheduled later anyway, so I went up to pick up my daughter at her writing group instead of texting her when I get there to pick her up. Near the top, I thought I might just die. I had no energy at all. Duh.
A short while later, I was at an appt. with my daughter at the doctor (routine), and suddenly, my rubber legs quit being my main problem. I got dizzy and weak and had to lay down. How dignified is that? I felt marginally better after a little rest, fruit portion, and water. But, I felt bad the rest of the evening. Weird night's sleep.
This morning I woke up, didn't feel quite right. Got on the scale, up nearly 2#. What was a "WTF" moment, for sure! And no, I hadn't cheated a whit. So, panic time. Then I remembered reading something about this in the diet manual.
I looked it up and what's happening is my body is finished with the hcg (little or no more left in my system), and my body is freaking out. I tried on my ring, and it wouldn't fit. So my body is retaining water, engaging in protein deprivation. Not good! So the book said to have a little extra (diet) food. So, I got to have an apple and 3 ounces or protein for breakfast! I still feel yucky, but a little better. I do have odd aches and pains, and feel a bit woozy.
All I can say is the darned weight better be gone tomorrow before I start stabilization! Sigh. Surely, there's a better way to lose weight.
