10.26.2003 Weight: 269Mood: Wishing I felt better Unsurprisingly, the water weight did drop off eventually, although I still feel like crap. Took a couple of Excedrin Migraine tablets a while ago, which cleared my head to a degree (at least I was able to speak coherently, an ability I seem to have lost earlier in the day). My typing still sucks, though -- you wouldn't believe all the mistakes I've been making all day. And I'm gonna make an appointment with the doc to see why I have this sensation of something touching the left side of my throat. Dunno if it's thyroid-related or what, but it's frigging annoying -- I keep feeling like I have something stuck in my throat. Arrgh. Come to think of it, this always happens when I start losing weight -- I'm fine for a week or two, then I always get sick or start feeling crappy. I have to wonder if I have some sort of ick reservoir in my fat cells, or my body is just obnoxious and doesn't want to slim down. Since last year, I've lost weight in fits and starts forced by illness -- I'd lose ten pounds, then plateau when I started feeling crappy, then I'd yo-yo a bit before stabilizing, then lose another five pounds, yadda yadda. Problem is, I dunno if this is related to the actual loss of weight, or something else (like my fucked-up monthly cycle). I dunno, Maynard -- something else to talk to the doc about, I suppose. On the diet side, I did cheat today and have a peanut butter sandwich on seven-grain bread, but I figured I feel crappy, I've been extremely good and legal since the beginning of induction, and it's not like I'm chowing down on pizza or french fries. Total food intake today was a big chicken caesar salad, one Atkins bar, one serving of low-carb frozen dessert, the sandwich and sausage and sauerkraut for dinner. I'm still doing damned good, I think. |
