Here I am!

Well its been one week and 2 days. Sorry I didn't post earlier but man I have been wiped out. I'm back at work today and its ok but I am soooo tired. I'm eating my tomato soup from La Madeleine for lunch; I highly recommend it, super yummy.
I read on the net that I am in a state of ketosis, meaning my body is burning fat, giving me dark pee and sickly sweet breath. (Glynn says I smell mediciney.)
The week went by at a pretty leisurely pace, Mom taught me how to knit, we made a cool felted scarf, and I napped a lot. The first few days I had so much gas I felt like I was a balloon! And My insides made gurgles so loud they could be heard across the room!
I've been drinking so much water I think my eyeballs will start floating soon but I hardly really have to pee at all. I think my body is really using everything I put into it now.
I've found that sipping from a straw is much easier than drinking from a water bottle, my new camelback bottle with a bite valve straw is my new friend.

So far my diet consists of: water (sometimes with Crystal Light), Carnation Instant Breakfast with skim milk (sooo glad I can tolerate milk so far), cranberry and apple juice (watered down), V8 juice, sugar free popsicles, super thin instant potatoes, yogurt, and tomato soup. I thought I might try some green pea soup tonite, mmm peas.

So far things are going pretty good, I feel achey and tired but I'm in good spirits. Man I can't wait until I don't have any more Lovenox shots (blood thinner) They really burn.

I think I have already lost some weight, my clothes are looser and my belly pokes out less. My ankles are really thin and feminine, and my super cute pedicure makes my toes and feet look even cuter! Thanks Mom!!!!
(Can I just say that I don't think waxing my face will ever become part of my regular regime. The Nail salon girls talked us into waxing our eyebrows and soon my whole face was being waxed. YOUCH!! I was all red and shiney and then it was itchy for the next two days. My eyebrows dooooo look nice, and Mom's do to, but I don't think its for me. Too much pain for beauty, I will stick with my tweezers thank-you)

I can't say I'm ever really hungry although the thought of eating double cheesburgers doesn't disgust me. Mostly I want to eat salty and savory things, kind of hard since it seems everything I CAN eat is sweet. But its not terrible.

Man my office chair is making my back sore today, it never did before, must be related.
I will try to post some pictures for further documentation. Hope you guys are having a great day!
