Weigh-In #5

I was down another 3.2 pounds this week! Yay!
I spoke with the nurse practitioner about the issue of my fainting last Tuesday and all the dizziness; being at least once day for the past week, I have thought I might faint again-usually upon standing from being bent over.
She thinks I probably have not been drinking enough water or using enough of the sea salt as the lack of those two could cause a sudden drop in my blood pressure upon standing up fast.
I do think she is probably correct because I am not usually a big salt user and while I do sprinkle it on both lunch and dinner, I am sure I am not using one half teaspoon. I also do not think I drink the full 64 ounces I am supposed to every single day.
Follow this diet to a "T" and it will work as it should and you will feel fine.
Back to the important matter of my ever decreasing weight...with this 3.2, I am officially down 15.8 pounds and a little over 16 on my scale(which I like better for obvious reasons!)
I want to give a big shout-out to my 1st and faithful follower Melissa, who lost 6.5 pounds her first week on Ideal Protein which is great! Her daughter lost 9! Oh, to be 20 again when the weigh loss goes faster! I am so proud of both of them! What a great start!
I am cooking dinner-baked chicken pieces with garlic and rosemary and sauteed zucchini and yellow squash, cut into strips and seasoned with garlic, basil, seasoned salt and black pepper...and a baked potato for my fiance with sour cream but none for me!
Then I am jumping on the cross-country ski machine while catching up on a show or two on the dvr. Then it's time to watch week 2 on Dancing With The Stars! Go hot British guy whose name I forget!
