VLCD - Day 18 +.6 lbs

I really expected more of a gain than what occurred. So, am grateful that it didn't go up more. I am back on track today. Feeling better physically and mentally. The exhaustion seems to have subsided so I think it is a GREAT thing that I added back in my thyroid meds. I have way more energy and I feel like I can refocus. It has been really difficult to stay on track with the exhaustion but I feel like I have a renewed sense of being. I feel like I've been pulled out of the mire, muck and mud. It's amazing how hard it is to focus when you're all you literally want to do is sleep. I'd refer anyone to Susan's post "Boy! Did I Blow it Today!" regarding why and when we overeat. I know for me my resolve was very low last night. I was out to eat with friends - very hungry and tired. Bad combination DUH!

I feel like today I'm a new creation - a rebirth so to say. I had a refreshing from church service and fellowship last night which I dearly needed. Our services were canceled last week due to snow - so for safeties sake we didn't have services. Going an entire week without my brethren was also very difficult I need to stay plugged in. I am excited though a couple from my church has opened up their home on Friday evenings for fellowship - I'll have to make sure I either bring things I can eat or eat beforehand.

I would like to extend my thanks to our sponsors as well - Drugdeliver.ca, HCGSupplies.com and Cindy Cook. For believing in us and going on our journey with us as we have our ups and downs. I am excited to keep going and learn as I make this journey to wellness.

I'm going to start my Natural Cellular Defense this week. I haven't been taking it and have to wonder if I had been if I would have had less difficulty with the exhaustion. I believe the exhaustion may have also been toxins releasing from the fat and my body was having a difficult time processing it.
