LC Day 81

Doing best I can. Water pills still causing issues but today I took two of the old ones just to try to shed a little fluid...this morning I was at 275.something...blech.

I'm eating fine...ketosis is fine...I'm uncomfortable with all the excess fluid but it's not as bad as earlier in the week. I’m in less joint pain than before.

I worked out with my trainer last night and it was AWESOME. I thought I'd be sore as hell today but I'm not....not sure why, but can't wait for my next session. It was the kind of training I've always wanted but never got...kinda like a Jillian Michaels session where she pushes you to the edge, but she worked within my physical limitations. I wanted to cry at the end because I was so happy...I would never work MYSELF in the same way or as long as she did...it was perfect.

Speaking of physical limitations....yesterday was the 7th anniversary of the surgery that left me paralyzed. Not a great day for celebrating...but I've come a long way and am proud. The sad news is they say you only regain functionality in the first 7 years....I'm hoping to be the exception to that rule. LOL

Food the last few days has been fine...nothing extravagant. I did go to red robin and for the first time had a lettuce wrapped burger...DUDE...they are serious with the lettuce wrap! I was expecting a little romaine leaf wrapped around the thing...instead I swear it was ¼ head of iceberg....that was pretty good. I’d do it at home! Today it’s looking like salami for breakfast (I was in a huge hurry...busy busy work day!), turkey/bacon/cheddar and lettuce sandwiches for lunch and taco salad for dinner. I’m having a BBQ this weekend with friends, one of which I recently converted to this WOE....so we will be able to support each other. BBQ’s are easy for me since I hate potato and macaroni salad anyway.
*sigh*...wish I was melting...maybe after a day of the strong water pills I’ll see a loss....but it will only be temporary cuz I have to go back on the potassium sparing ones. We’ll see tomorrow.
