OptiFast - end of week 15

somehow i managed to bungle the weeks - possibly during vacation. instead of sorting it out i'll just say - this is officially the end of week 15. one more week of product only. next wednesday, August 6 we are to start swapping out one meal replacement for 4 oz. of lean protein and 1/2 cup of cooked vegetables. i can't believe how fast this portion of the program has gone by, although i know it draggggggged at points. most people at group tonight were saying how bored they are with the flavors, shakes, etc. weirdly, i'm not. as i write that, the thought pops in my head: Then why did you go off plan last week? I don't know, Self - i say in response. 

Btw, those few off plan food detours added up to 4.7 pounds. I looked at the scale with one eye half open last week, not really wanting to be cognizant of the damage i'd done. The good news is, after a solid week back on, 2 days kicking ass at the gym and 2 sessions of carpet cleaning for my mom - all involving copious amount of sweat... I managed to erase the mistake. I lost the 4.7 and 2 pounds on top of it, making my current weight 264.2. yay. yippee.

go me.

one annoying thing, that is totally deep in TMI territory, is that I am having some post period spotting. well, more like quite a bit and every day for nearly 2 weeks. :/ no cramps to speak of. doesn't feel like a period. annoying actually. and of late, starting to concern me. of course i spent way too much time on the internet trying to figure out possible reasons why. I am concerned that fibroid(s) may be recurring, or some other more serious gynecological malady. but i am trying not to jump to conclusions about that. 

I did find a bit of info last night that was reassuring in a way... 

seems plausible, but i couldn't seem to find any credible sources of info to corroborate it... so i emailed the MD I see for Medical Weight Management program today. hopefully, she'll get back to me soon. if it continues, I'll hafta make an appt. with Dr. C.

suppose that's all for now.
