Well, the day started out great and just went downhill from there! About an hour and a half after having scrambled eggs with spinach (which were wonderfully tasty, btw) my stomach was rumbling loud enough and violently enough to compete with any amount of thunder! I was towards the end of doing our weekly grocery shopping and just barely made it home in time!! I figured maybe it was the richness of the eggs combined with the spinach that bombared my system. Anyway, it lasted and lasted and lasted till there wasn't anything left in my system. I tried eating a chicken breast but that went south, too. The only thing I could keep down (or should I say in, without being too graphic  ) was water, surprisingly. So, I couldn't get in all my veggies or protein, rats! I was able to keep in a cup of tea, which seemed to help settle my stomach a little bit.

When I woke up, things seemed to be back to normal and I was SO hungry and decided to try a couple of hb eggs w/mayo. I had my daily dose of coffee, doctored up with some cream and sweetner. Things seemed to be going well, so I decided to have my nutty treat of a couple of almond cookies. Still going good. By late afternoon, body decided it didn't like anything at all and back to rejecting everything again! UGH! Actually wasn't very hungry, but managed to keep down (and in) my alloted intake of water. Didn't want to get dehydrated.
Thursday, 12/20, day 7 - final day of project study
Low - carb
Woke up afraid to eat anything for fear of spending my day in or near the bathroom! Did have my coffee (black) though. Can't do without that needed caffeine! I am disappointed that I wasn't able to complete the study the way I wanted to - without a stomach bug or whatever I had. It was yucky!!! I didn't write anywhere that I have lost another pound, so the project was very successful for me. I lost a total of 10lbs in four weeks and I am very happy about that! I will write my final thoughts about the project when I am not so pressed for time and after I have had time to collect my thoughts and get it down right.
