Not feeling well

Day 3: 1st day of Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD)

So I spent most of today curled up on the couch with mom watching tv because honestly I feel like crap. I have been fighting nausea and a headache all day.  Well the nausea for the last 2 days honestly.  I am a bit worried about what is causing it, it stays the same whether I have just eaten, not yet eaten, or if its been hours since I have eaten.
Anyway the food is good, and I have not felt hungry so that is a positive note.  The bestie came over for dinner again today, we all watched movies in the den and laughed at the dogs while we watched the Oscars.  She brought all 3 of hers over plus my moms.

The Oscars were good, Billy Crystal cracks me up.  Although I must say I was not digging Bradley Cooper with the stach, not a good look for him.  Angelina looked sickly she was so small, and I am pretty sure JLo had some nipple out while she presented.  Sandra looked awesome.  She is one of my favorite actresses.  I loved looking at all the dresses, some were really great, others I wondered what they were thinking.  The ladies from Bridesmaids had me laughing out loud, especially when they faked the drinking game with someone said Scorsese name.

What is this?? Is that supposed to be a rose??
 Not sure here what she was thinking but she missed the mark.

Gwyenth looked great in a tom Fordm
I know a lot of people didn't like it, but I thought she looked very elegant.
Some what ill fitting on top but I think she looks stunning in Marchesa. 

Okay back to diet talk.
I have my phone alarm set to remind my self to take my meds at 7am and 7pm, so far so good.  I have not missed a dose or been late.  I took an appetite suppressor with my am meds and they seem to be working well as I said before I have not yet felt hungry.  I have felt like I wanted more when I was eating but I just drank more water.

I learned in my seminar on Thursday that drinking enough water is vitally important for weight loss for two reasons.

1. It keeps the skin elasticity so when you lose the weight you don't get the saggy skin
2. When fat breaks down in your body it flows through the blood stream, it needs the water to flush it out in the urine other wise it just redeposits its self else where in the body. 
** This is the same for when you are working out, your work out will break down the fat but you MUST drink the water to flush it from your body otherwise you worked for nothing.

I have been drinking 90-120 ounces of water a day.  I know that seems like a lot but I always have a water bottle with me or near me.  I drink when even I feel the need to snack, and for me that is often. That has been my biggest fight so far, not what I have had to give up or the portion control.  It has been controlling the urge to snack, especially since I am not working and just hanging around the house or with the kids while they are snacking all day.

Well that is all for now, hopefully I begin to feel better this nausea is killing me.

Sláinte,
