VLCD 33- Surviving the Flu

Started my drops and… Wouldn’t you know it.. The night before the HCG gets into my system, I spend the entire night puking. Woke up with a headache and general nausea… But managed to start taking my drops and got one bottle of water down. By that time, my headache was massive and the nausea was even worse.. My entire body was achey and water wasn’t settling well on my stomach at all.

I got one more set of drops down (I decided… 6x a day is impossible for me, so am doing 3x a day like before) and made it to dinner time.. Where my husband picked up some popcorn chicken and diet 7up and brought it home for me. Nothing else was sounding like it would settle, and I decided the day was a bust from my lack of water/food. I ate most of the chicken, but started feeling like I was going to throw up, so gave the rest to my husband and laid down again.

One bottle of Diet 7up later and my head was pounding miserably.. We put DS9 on in the hopes that we’d get to watch it and after 3 hours (for one long episode of 1hr and 30mins + all the time Netflix spent retrieving) I was feeling pretty miserable.

In the hopes of settling my stomach, my husband got me a milkshake (why do milkshakes sound good when your sick??) as DS9 was retrieving one time. It did seem to help for a lil while but at that point, my head was hurting so bad that it was also contributing to my nausea.

Thankfully, I fell asleep pretty quickly and woke up with my headache feeling much better. My stomach felt better, tho still achey and sore and my body was pretty achey too.

When waking up, I weighed and had a 1lb loss.. now 2.6 over my last prebreak. I’m on the diet for another 2 weeks (and sure don’t plan on letting any more breaks or interruptions get in the way this time. 🙂 ) I’m planning on starting the Leptin Reset for my Phase 3 just before Thanksgiving.. I’ve been reading alot about it and it’s really exciting to see how well people are doing on it! With all the breaks/interruptions, I think I’ll need as much help in stabilizing as I can get. 🙂

Wellp.. Off to get my day started!!
