Day 3 - Dawn of the living dead!
Woke up this morning feeling like I'd consumed at least 3 bottles of vodka and gone five rounds with Mike Tyson. Tired beyond belief, shaking, head hurting like hell and, despite the gallons of water I drank last night, with a major thirst on. Oh and my stomach hurts like I've pulled a muscle or something. I know I haven't so can only assume that it's been caused by all the effort my tummy has been making to create the deafening rumbling sounds which are starting to become incredibly distracting.

Managed to drag myself out of bed at noon to make myself a vanilla shake and Russell made me a black coffee. I poured some of the shake in to it in the vain hope of it tasting a bit like a latte. No chance!

Decanted myself from bed to sofa and remained there for the best part of the afternoon and tried to concentrate on watching TV & reading the paper but it was just too much like hard work. My brain feels extremely odd and vacant (no change there then!!). It's a very strange feeling; a bit like a fog has descended; and I feel like a complete space cadet!

At my LL group meeting last week we were told that, around this time, our bodies start to detox and we may suffer withdrawal symptoms - I guess this is what I'm experiencing today. Hope it doesn't last long.

In the first week on the LL progamme you have to have a Stop In with your group leader. This is basically just to make sure everything is ok, get weighed and pick up the rest of the weeks foodpacks. Oh yeah & to wee on a bit of litmus paper to find out if you're in ketosis yet. For those who don't know, if you're in ketosis then your body has started to burn up your fat for fuel - or something like that.

The result of my stop in:
I am in ketosis.
I'VE LOST 6LBS SINCE WEDNESDAY - UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!

One of the girls from my group was there and she said that she'd been feeling rough yesterday but woke up this morning feeling amazing - the rest of my group are one day ahead of me so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the same thing happens to me too. In the meantime I have told Russell he needs to sleep with his eyes open in case I feel a sudden desire to gnaw his arm off.

Interesting fact I learnt today: We were talking last night about the fact that I had been dreaming of sex and this prompted a somewhat rude and naughty conversation about how if I ever got really hungry I could always perform a certain sexual act on my husband and get a protein fix................for those who were party to that conversation I can now confirm that there are approximately 2 calories and 1 gramme of protein in the average male ejaculation. One serving of Death By Chocolate is equivalent to 400 'servings' of cum!!!

Anyway, that's it for me now. I am shattered and going to bed.

Thoughts for today:
Positive: If I keep losing weight at this rate I won't have to do the full 100 days as I don't really want to lose much more than 3 stone.
Negative: Am too damn tired to think negatively!!
