Happy Tuesday everyone!
Another day, another clean slate! Thank you to everyone for the compliments in previous posts and on my progress pics!
I have a feeling I am going to be tired this afternoon... the birds decided to throw us a (very loud!) concert between 4:30 and 5:10 a.m. and then, everything went silent again but I just could not fall back asleep. Ugh!
My weight was up a teeny bit this morning (149.0 lbs) but maybe the lack of sleep didn't help. I was also starting to feel like I needed to take some Floralax and I did, so hopefully, that will be all straightened out by my WI tomorrow at lunchtime, when I plan on announcing to my Coach that I am finishing off my "lunch packets" (chili, spaghetti, omelet, soups) and moving onto phase II! I honestly feel ready now.

Still haven't finished reading yesterday's chats, but I'll get there. Thanks for the compliments on me fitting into my red dress. My chiropractor patted my stomach yesterday when I was on the adjustment table and said, "You're doing IP, aren't you? You can really tell!"
"Why yes, I fit into all my clothing now," was my response. Yay! It's good to get positive feedback and reinforcement.
I gave my notice at work yesterday and now they are trying to keep me. This is part of why I can't fall back to sleep, so I'm going for a 40 minute walk with my dog now. Looks like the rain is holding off for now! Have a great OP day everyone!
You are all such an inspiration! Keep up the good work!

I have to say that my new absolutely favorite thing in the world is having someone bring me coffee in the morning. The cold water for my crispy cereal is pretty darn nice too.
The place where I am doing training (SAS Institute -- statistical and data software) has tons of junk food out all the time. At least they have a good selection of tea/coffee as well and all the cold water you want. Yesterday afternoon I mixed up a pina colada drink in my water bottle while everyone else was having their snack. I felt like I was having a real treat, didn't feel deprived at all, and planned to have a lovely filet mignon, broccolini, and asparagus for dinner.
I hope everyone is doing well. I will have to catch up when I am back home.
Awesome job you two! You both inspire me so much!
CinnamonSparkles: I saw a red dress that caught my eye the other day in the window of a store near my work and now you are tempting me! Maybe I'll wait and see if they still have it when I finish phase II and it will be my reward!
...or maybe I'll go see if I can have it put aside until my next pay day... hmmm...

I noticed that I no longer sleep in on weekends but I thought it was because I am just used to waking up early during the week. I never thought to attribute it to IP. Interesting!
I also sleep very well at night since being on IP (I have a chocolate RTD drink box as my evening snack).
I used to have insomnia pretty bad prior to going on IP. I am thrilled to sleep so much better.

My right mid back side is sore (I am thinking kidney stones) I haven't had them in years, but I think with the increased greens I am eating may be causing them. ( I do not get calcium stones, I get oxalate stones - which is caused from greens) My stomach is a little upset...I have had a BM 3 times since 7:00am! (sorry TMI) I am also a little queezy I was only off plan Sat & Sun, I am not sure why this is all happening??? I didn't feel like this when I started back in April....
Any suggestions...advice????
Thanks
Oh my goodness!
That sounds just awful!
I don't really have any advice but I wanted to send
: and I hope you will get some answers and feel better soon.

I am so sorry for what you are going throug right now. That has to be very disappointing.
Hang in there. Often, when one door closes, another door opens. Maybe a really good job is right around the corner for him (instead of having to work two jobs)!

that your engagement will be back "on" again before you know it!
