R1 Day 10

Epic Fail! I think the dehydration finally caught up with me because this morning I woke up with swollen fingers and toes. I got up to weigh myself and I had gained a pound! I haven't eaten anything outside of the protocol and have been taking my drops. I wonder if it is just the odd times that I take it or the spaces in between my meals or what. I don't feel at all like I have been starving myself. If anything, I almost feel like I am eating all the time but not like I used to. Before it was me eating because I was bored. Now it is me eating because it's time to eat. When it comes to breakfast, however, sometimes I don't eat until I feel like eating so it could be a few hours after I wake up before I eat. That puts lunch off sometimes too and then dinner, too. I ate nothing out of the ordinary so unless there is another gain tomorrow, I am going to assume that this is all due to being dehydrated. Then again, I could have eaten too much spinach yesterday at lunch. I did have quite a bit. Hopefully this will all just go away and I'll be back on track to losing. I am going to drink, drink, drink today in the hopes that it flushes things out. And tomorrow I will be praying for a 2 pound loss to catch me up. That would be great. On a lighter note, I haven't had a problem having a BM since I took those herbs the other day. I only took them once but I think what it really was, was my body getting used to the changes in diet because I was actually never constipated. I just hadn't had a BM in a few days and that is unlike me. So things are staying pretty regular thus far. Hopefully that was a one time deal. I hope things get better from here on out. Fingers crossed!
