Feeling better now that the first 'stall' is behind me...

Oct 11, 2011

Thank goodness that stall really did break. 

I had been hearing about the 'whoosh' that most people enountered after the stall - - losing 3lbs in 2 days....or 7lbs in 3 days.  I was floored.  When my stall 'broke', I lost 0.4lb one day, then 0.7lb the next.  Then, I GAINED 0.7 the day after that!

On Sunday morning, I woke with the most hideous cramps (thank you PCOS)...and the thought of food made me so ill.  I have't been THAT nauseated by cramps in YEARS.    I tried to make a shake - it was a no-go, either.  Even my trusty Cytomax and Isopure sports drinks wouldn't make it through my lips.  I was heaving.   I finally decided that I would rather just stay hydrated - - and spent my day sipping water.  All. Day. Long.  Ice cold. 

Monday wasn't much better - - but at least I finally got a Cytomax down, though it took most of the day, and I had to cut it with water.  I did manage to get my liquids in - - still, mostly water. 

This morning, when I weighed, I was down from 213.8 on Sunday....to 209.7 today.  That is 4.1lbs in 48 hours. 

I am still on clear liquids until the cramps decided to abate -- they're better today...and I have managed to finish off my Alpine Punch Isopure and have just started a Tropical Cytomax.

I was whining about not being at my first interim 'goal' for Hawaii next week.  I wanted to be sub-200 by the time I got on the plane.  I knew there was NO way I was going to make that goal.

However, because of these cramps - I will be much closer than I expected.

Here's to cramps going away - - and the resumption of some food (please, body - cooperate!) either tonight or tomorrow!
