I had a hard time getting up and getting started. I was still feeling “off” regardless that I drank 16.9 ounces of water upon waking. I checked my ketones, and they weren't overly high, but my urine was frothy, and it smelled as it is normal in this stage. It doesn't help that the temperature outside as dropped which makes it harder for me, as I hate being cold. I am not wearing my legwarmers anymore, but I am still wearing a long tank top and two light shirts to stay warm. My fingers are always cold and I hate that. Where is the warm weather? Just a couple Sundays ago it was 83 degrees outside! What happened? Ohio weather happened. LOL I have lived in Ohio for 25 years and I have never gotten used to the messed up Spring weather they have here. When it is Spring, it should just be Spring, not hop back and forth to Spring and Winter when it wants to.

Since I was so slow getting up and getting motivated, work wasn't much better. I just wasn't as motivated and energized as I have been in the last week or so. It still is amazing that I have made it to Day 22! I am getting so much better. I guess since

I didn't do anything after work. I just went home. It was odd, since I didn't go over to Christy's house and socialize as I have been doing for weeks now. I told her the night before, as I was really tired, that I might not come over, but I would come over on Tuesday, as we had plans. It seems that when I am by myself, I struggle with more issues regarding the guy. Doesn't help that the neighbor has said something to me. I did find out that it wasn't true, but before I went and talked to my other neighbor about it, I found myself crying over the thought of it. My heart was glad that it wasn't true, yet my heart was still very heavy as I still haven't heard from him.

I know that I don't need to hear from him. It is that my life seems to empty without him in my life, even if he made it hard. It is the loneliness that grips me. I really struggled hard not to want to text him and see how he was doing. Part of me wanted to know if he was thinking about me. His silence has told me so much, which makes my heart so very heavy. It didn't help that I was feel so very off. I had to make small sips of Powerade Zero, which seems to work a bit better then cranberry juice. I think it is because it has Sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium in it. I fluxuate between achy-ness and having great amounts of energy.

My legs and arms are really thin. They are not horribly thin, but you can tell that there is very little fat on them now. I remember when they used to jiggle with large amounts of fat on them. It is lovely to look so trim now.

One good thing is that since I am home, I am not tempted by food, as when I am over at Christy's, when she cooks, it smells so good! It is funny, because when I feed my kitties, even their food smells good! LOL

So I had a lazy day at home. When I got home, I took my books and went into the bed room. I turned on a movie (My newest veggietales one that I got – It's a meaningful Life) and got in bed. Mekong was happy and she laid with me until I fell alseep. I took a short nap around 7:30 p.m and woke up with my phone going off. At first I thought it might be the guy, but it was just my scheduled appointment to read my Bible at 9:00 p.m. I was disappointed, but finally opened my Bible after I woke up a bit. I read a little bit from Exodus, and then read a little bit from “Brisinger” as a little reward for reading my Bible.

It was just nice to lay around and relax until I fell back to sleep around 10:30.
