Day 2

I went to bed hungry last night, that's to be expected in these first few weeks. Each time I am confronted with my hunger I basically distract myself or tell myself to buck up! You have your goals! I also slapped my face lightly when driving past the BBQ place that smelled like sauce heaven. lol!

I woke up with a debilitating head ache/nausea. The kind of head ache where you feel like your brain is being pumped up with air at the some time it's being squeezed. Hurt in front, back and all around.  I hit that SOB with 600 mg IBU and then 45 minutes later another 600 mg's. After about 30 minutes it was down to a dull roar, I wasn't worried about hurling and I was able to start my day.

Got a call from the weight-loss docs - super awesome that they followed up with me to see how I was doing! I explained the headaches/nausea and she said that is normal for the first few days - kinda what I thought too - lots of changes going on and the body reacts in different ways.

Then I mentioned the debacle at the pharmacy yesterday (which I think I blogged about). WOW! Immediate response!! She had my weight-loss doc (Dr.I from here on out) talk to my GP and whammo! All solved! I don't know where the info came from about a failing liver (!!!!) but the liver test that was run when I first started this came out all clear, health liver.

But they didn't stop there, Dr. I. then called me himself to go over my blood test results too, all's well, even Cholesterol - which frankly, is shocking IMO! lol!

So Day 2 - halfway point in the day, has been really good. Still had the energy to go on my walk, been running around at work, battled - and won - that massive headache, talked to my mom and finally told her all the details and got my prescriptions all set.

Now onto the weekend. This is the scary part. I was addicted to my McDonald's. I would get a #3, come home, go back to bed, put on a movie and just relax. Now, I feel a little lost. People might not get it, but it was a large source of comfort for me, this little ritual. It is something I would look forward to all week. Those few hours on Saturday AM before everything starts. I will have to figure out what to do now, but it will be fine. Maybe I will use that time to do some exercise - while watching my movie. Or maybe I'll knit! lol!

Also going to a party this weekend - I really don't want the whole time to be talking about this diet, yet at the same time it's kind of the biggest thing going on in my life so I probably will be the one blabbing about it like a big mouth. lol!

Pool party and dance party, so we will see how that goes when I'm only ingesting 650 calories. Good frakkin luck to me! lol!

See you Monday for Day 5!
