R1 Day 21

My apple day came to an end today and thank goodness for that. I have never had a problem eating fruit before but I had one last apple this morning and I just about threw it up! I literally had to choke it down. It did help I guess. I am wondering if things are just sluggish on the way out because I have had almost as many BM's doing the apple day as I have the rest of the protocol. I have been having BM's about every third day and it hasn't been constipation or anything. I did lose -1.5 lbs this morning which brings me up to 16.5 lbs total in 21 days. I was really hoping to lose a pound a day or more but don't we all. This will, however, secure the fact that I will have to do a second round or just work harder to get my weight and body back down to an appropriate size. I am still at the upper end of my BMI and I would like to get it down to a manageable place that I can feel comfortable with. I don't want to go out to dinner one night and blow it all on one meal.

Fast Forward to tonight...

I have not been feeling well today. I feel a little sick to my stomach. I am hoping that it will go away and it is not a symptom of dehydration or illness. I had to babysit today so that really threw off my eating schedule. I had a late lunch of chicken and spinach soup. It was very bland today because I am trying to cut back on salt to see if that helps any. My orange mid-afternoon was a welcome change to the apple regimen that I have been on and dinner of beef with raw grape tomatoes was also very bland. I think most of my seasoning stayed in the pan. As I was eating, I wondered if my beef had too much fat in it. I got this last batch at a different store and there really isn't any visible fat but I think I did taste a piece that was fatty. Perhaps that is the reason I haven't been losing. Who knows. I just hope that tomorrow will bring a repeat of a loss. A big loss. That would be great!
