Again, I've still spent most of these last few days sleeping, and being dizzy when I am awake. I thank you all for telling me it must be water retention for the 8lb gain. I've paid close attention to what I've been eating over these last few days, and I think you are right.
Wednesday I didn't eat much again, but my mother brought me grilled chicken and some steamed broccoli, which I ate very little of, but did eat, and had a piece of stick cheese. And I got back to my daily goal of drinking 12 glasses of water. But come the next morning, I still weighed the same!
So yesterday, I paid closer attention to the day and I realized I didn't have my pack of black licorice lying on my bed anymore...because I had finished them the day before! Never thought anything of reaching out for those couple of pieces of licorice every now and then, here and there, that could be contributing to my weight. Sometimes it's that mindless eating that we never count, or remember (especially on prescription meds!) that does us in. And that's the point of a food journal, and that's the point of this blog.
So while it was a combination of the other things I could remember - not enough water, new drug - it was also that yummy black licorice package I kept eating "just two" of, but two everytime I woke up!
So thankfully, I woke up this morning 2.5 lbs lighter. And my Dr. said that this new drug actually may bloat me while it takes the place of the other drugs that were in my system, and my body is going through a process of riding itself of the other drugs. So, I'm not gonna get upset.
And I know, some of you say get rid of the scale, it doesn't work to weigh yourself. For me, it does. I like knowing if I'm doing something right, doing something wrong, so I can be motivated one way or another. We all have our thing that works for us. I need my scale. :) And I need this blog. Mrs ButterCream, how about you? Is this blog working for you? ;)

Yo...Fatty,
Yes, I think the blog is helping! It does give me a reason to do better. I would love to write that I've lost 10 pounds or 15...why not 20!
I wish I only grabbed stuff like licorice! I go for the cakes, ding dongs, and zingers!
I've started this week off right though! Yipee!
