I didn't have to take a sledehammer to the scale at my weight loss meeting tonight. I swear if I had another week of no weight loss, I would have! But I lost 6.8 pounds, so I'm much happier. And that's real fat pounds lost because my ankles and feet are STILL swollen. So I'm still retaining water. So the good news is that another week I should lose a lot again because at some point all this water retention will go away. The bad news is that, well, I'm still retaining water, which is annoying.
I saw my own Dr. yesterday for a follow up to my finger infection (which is still red) and he said not to worry about it (the water retention OR the finger!) He thinks it's my body's way of adjusting to either the diet itself or the huge reduction of calories. Eventually it should go away. The dr. at the weight loss place seemed to agree.
In the meantime, I'm trying to drink even more water (I'm drowning over here), keep my feet up and swim a lot.
Anyway, it's a total of 28 point something in 5 weeks, so an average of 5.5 or so pounds a week. I'll take it! :)
Not much else new. I wrote about all the new stuff on Tuesday. marlon is still gone but comes home tomorrow night. We're all well and good.
