September/October weight loss challenge

[channlluv]

228.8

One and a half weeks of complete compliance on South Beach, up to yesterday, and I gained two pounds from last week. Hmm.

My doctor took me off my blood pressure meds because my bp dropped too low - 87/52 - after the first six days on South Beach and lots of varied exercise (swimming, step class, yoga, bike ride, Zumba).

The bp meds are also a diuretic, so I'm guessing the added weight is probably just water.

I'm going for a bike ride today. I'm hoping it settles out over the next week. These headaches and crying fits are wearing me out. Yesterday was nearly completely wiped out by non-stop crying...how do I shut these demons off?

I ate a peanut butter sandwich on low glycemic sprouted grain bread, with honey apple butter instead of jelly. It made me feel more even. That's all I've "cheated" this last week and a half.

The SB people say you should lose 7 - 13 pounds in the first two weeks. We'll see.

Tomorrow is October 1st, the beginning of my Ironman Canada training program. I gave myself September off, and am looking forward to getting back into a regular routine.

145.8 this morning. As opposed to 144.4 yesterday. Still lots of noise related to water retention, and no actual progress.
