Today is the day of my class. Every other week they draw blood. They only test our potassium levels.. I guess when you don't eat there is no need to test sugars, but I kinda wish they did. Getting blood drawn when you are dehydrated is a bitch! We are all always dehydrated. With no food to hold the water it goes right through. I'm limited to 120oz (includes water in my shakes) per day. Any more water than that and I will flush out my system.
So I'm not going to look at the scale today. That should be interesting. The scale prints out the weight on my check in check out papers. I then take the yellow copy to the lab and the pink copy I lay face down in my class. At the end of class I get the yellow paper back from the lab stapled to a bag with all my shakes in it. So that is a lot of looking away I will have to do! I got on the scale at home today (naked in the morning) that weight will be vastly different then the one at class tonight with all my clothes on at the end of the day. The scale this morning said 194.5. I'm going off the scale in class though...if that isn't under 200 no hair cut. I'm going to bring the paper home (without looking at it) hand it to hubby and ask simply if it is under 200. If so I'll make an appointment for Saturday to get the hair done.
I'm almost done with this Bertinelli book. My sister suggested I read it to prepare for maintenance. Nope. I think the book the program gave me Maximizing your body potential is doing just fine. I'm gonna stick with that until the over-eaters books come.

The not paying attention to the details...did I miss something in an earlier post? (I have had a really taxing week in Sacramento at the first AVID Institute in CA). I will reserve comment until you clarify.
Dehydration...in general terms - not good right? Flushing your system of what? Do you take vitamins or are they in the shakes? Are you loosing hair? Someone recommended a ridiculously expensive shampoo for thinning hair when I was loosing weight. Not worth the price. I'm wondering if you've heard the same thing or something different?
Sorry perhaps I left some info out. I am chronically dehydrated. No it's not a horrible thing, but the water and the potassium supplement I have to take is a delicate balance. I don't take any other vitamins it's all in my shake so if I drink too much water I flush those nutrients out along with the potassium which could hurt my heart.
My hair is falling out but my nails are uber hard and very pretty! My hair isn't looking thin thank goodness I have a lot, but it comes out a few strands every time I wash my hair. Don't waste your money on shampoo like ovation...you will be stuck with them forever because as soon as you stop using it...your hair falls out!
