P2 Day 3

This day began as kind of a bust for me. I weighed in at +0.5 lbs which I think was in part due to my cabbage dinner probably putting me over on calories and not drinking enough. I continued my day with an apple for breakfast, a chicken salad for lunch, and I had a makeshift beef stew with a tomato on the side for dinner. I know my food diary is getting messed up since I began in the middle of the day but for now I'll just write breakfast through dinner on each post just for the ease. I tried to get all my water in and I did okay but not great. It is still quite a bit more than I normally drink, sad as that may be. I peed so frequently that it put me in a bind and I had to "cheat" kind of. I have really bad skin issues where my hands dry out and crack. They also form blisters if I'm not careful so with all the washing of my hands my fingers are starting to crack and I really don't need that so I broke down and used some lotion which is frowned upon according to the diet. I also haven't changed any of my soaps or toothpaste. According to the diet one should not have any oils of any kind. This means no lotions, moisturizers, shampoos with oils or butters, etc. Well, my body wash, face wash, hand soap, and shampoo all have oils of some sort in them. I didn't stop using anything other than lotion. But I may just have to use that on my hands because if I don't, I'll be using a steroid cream to get them back to where they are manageable and that is worse than just using lotion.
