Wow. I am all over the place today. On a roller coaster.
I woke up to find no weight change = grumpy face. Waiting patiently for magnesium to kick in. I also think this is some psychological response to finally being 142 or less, which is a magical/angry number for me (yes, Lisa, a number which is your fault and unfortunately is one of those things towards which I will always hold a grudge).
THEN, I went and checked my email (because God forbid I wait until I get to work), and YAY Korean school has officially offered me the job / sent me a contract!!! ^______^
Was very late to work... then spent time at work looking over the contract, sending questions/concerns to my recruiter/the school, and forwarding good news to my parents. Because of this, didn't have much prep time for class (to which I was also late), which stressed me out but turned out okay because we didn't actually discuss the reading. Instead we did small group consultations for our degree projects - and I got a lot of good ideas about my project.
Time for tea before next class. Hello Smooth Move. And time for an apple, because I didn't have vinegar with which to dress my lettuce, so I didn't want to eat my "lunch." I wish now that I had. Found out I inadvertently pissed off my dad with communications.
Next class very fun. However, I started to get more jittery/weak feeling - which is kind of what I get in place of hunger now - probably all low blood sugar symptoms.
Back to work - already feeling v. accomplished, although still a little unhappy physiologically.
Am also reviewing Dad's contract feedback. Am alternately feeling stupid for sending such a hasty response to the recruiter, and relatively justified because I feel like I addressed most of his concerns already, or already know the answers to the ones that I didn't.
I'm pretty happy I just get to go home tonight. Even if I do just get to go home and write a memo and work on my degree project.

SLEEPY HOLLOW (DAY 4)
HCG continues on. It's very strange to think that I've consumed only around 2000 calories in the last 4 days, and I'm not dying.
Good things:
-- I am not as hungry as I was at the beginning of the week. Still a bit hungry, but not painfully so.
-- Things are moving in the right direction (you'll just have to wait for Sunday to find out specifics).
-- Figured out I should be holding the drops under my tongue for a lot longer than I was, hopefully that will be helpful.
-- Smoothifying vegetables is a good thing for me. Then I still get the fiber, but I don't have to crunch it up with my own teeth.
-- I am a champ at drinking water and tea. (TMI: Seriously, it's like emptying a 32oz waterbottle into the sink every time I go to the bathroom. It's very satisfying.)
Less good things:
-- I'm still queasy and a little weak-feeling in the morning. And all morning - not just before I've taken the drops, but all morning until I get food in me for the first time. Doctor thinks this is because of low blood sugar (I think she was under the impression that queasiness was only happening before drops in the morning. I'm waiting to hear back if she thinks I should change my dosage knowing it is both before and after drops).
-- I'm still a bit hungry, although not painfully so.
-- My blood pressure is much higher than normal... Is it caused by less-good-thing-#1? I do not know. Usually my bp is super low - e.g. 90/60, and today at the little Bartell's machine is was 127/73. My pulse is its usual normally low self: 52.
-- I hope that vaseline on my lips won't terribly eff this diet up (you have to remove all cosmetics and skin care stuff with oils or fats) - but my lips were literally turning to shredded paper and I couldn't take it any more. Because vaseline doesn't actually absorb into your skin, most people think it's okay.
It's really easy to be a worry-wart on this diet, but I think with the level of risk/weirdness you're asking you body to undertake, that's probably an okay thing.
