Morning Weigh In: Up .2 lbs.
Okay, I’m officially at my edge! This morning, I weighed myself and found that I had gone UP .2 pounds. Now, I realize that a .2 pound increase doesn’t seem like much, but it’s the fact that I went up and NOT down! When you’re watching your weight so carefully, any little bit will either send you to the stars with elation, or cause you to crash, face first into depression. Not only am I bored to death with the limitations of this menu, but I’ve gained! Craziness!
This has now brought me to call the Dr. over at Derma Health Institute. There has to be a reason for this increase. Usually when you stall, you expect it to be because you snuck a Hostess cupcake or something, (oh, let me just think about that possibility for a moment…) But when you’ve been so careful to obey the rules, it’s hard to justify.
After speaking to the Dr. who got me started on the program, she explained to me that my menstrual cycle was the real culprit. Due to the fact that we, as women, experience bloating and water weight gain through this time of the month, it stands to reason that we would see a suspension in weight loss. If you stall during this time, don’t panic! (like I did). I was also told that after my cycle has ended, I should see that weight (stored up) drop quickly. That better be true! I’d like to stay focused on my goal.
Due to the fact that I had already gotten into my menu that day, she told me that I could break this stall by having an “apple day.” Tomorrow, I’ve been instructed to eat 6 apples. That’s it, you heard me, 6 apples! By only having water and apples throughout the day, my body should be able to re-adjust itself to the ‘losing state’ once again. Gee, I can hardly wait. Also important, the Dr. told me to lay off of the HCG injections for the first two days of my period. The already existing HCG hormones will be able to stay in your system throughout those two days and won’t interfere with the weight loss program.
So…six yummy apples to look forward to. I can barely contain my excitement. There aren’t too many ways to make an apple creatively appetizing. I guess it’s just one of those things I’ll have to suffer through. I can’t imagine not having protein that day; or thinking that my hunger pangs will not rear their ugly heads. Six apples…here we go…
