A First for Me

Well, I have the dubious distinction of having a first WW experience that I didn't want. I actually gained a pound. I am still -30 total, but I still didn't want to gain. So what happened? Especially since I tracked faithfully and had over 20 uh-oh points left.

2 things I think.

1st - yesterday, on my way home, I at a Big Mac, fries and a coke. It is very high in sodium and since I haven't been drinking all the water I was supposed to today to flush out that sodium. I probably have some water retention issues.

The next part is going to be a little personal, so if you don't want to read about my GI issues, please stop here.

2nd - I haven't gone since Monday. So, I am literally full of s*&t. I am not a stranger to constipation issues. Usually if I wait more than 2 or 3 days I take something for it, usually try prune juice, fiber, etc. If that fails, I take medication which messes my system up. Which is part of the problem I had last week. So this week I am trying to let nature take it's course without screwing up my digestive system and causing anymore cramping or gas. Which was the whole problem starting Sunday night and Monday.

So, I am going to stay on plan this week. Eat more veggies and fruit, drink all my water and see how things "go"

I just gotta persevere and keep on keeping on.
