Day Four

Hi everyone!

I am not a happy chappie today, these detox symptoms are really unpleasant. Last night I had awful pain in my legs, it felt deep into the bone. Then I went to bed around midnight and woke up at 2:00 with nausea and that awful burning acid indigestion thing traveling up my throat every time I lay down, making me feel I would vomit, yet I didn't. I also had a raging sore throat. That went on until 6:30 when I fell asleep again and slept soundly until 11:30. I'm off to work again now, but am feeling increasingly weak. I'm supposed to work a full day tomorrow, but think that is out of the question, so I'll take the morning off. I have been managing my work days, just, by focusing on each class as it comes and being patient with myself, walking very slowly and keeping the classes low key. I am now one of the teachers who delegate everything physical to the students and slump in my chair. Nevertheless when I get home I am so exhausted I can barely speak to my husband. At least it is weekend soon! I might take a day or two off sick next week. I just wanted to save my sick days for the second week in case I need them more then. On the plus side I lost another 1.2 kilos between yesterday and today, which makes it a 2.7 kilo weight loss in just four days. Pretty cool! My tongue is only very slightly coated and my breath isn't bad at all, which worries me. Is this a problem at all? I was wondering if I could be one of those one in a million or so who never goes into ketosis at all. Yet I have done a 10 day Water Fast before and certainly didn't die so it must be as safe for me as anyone else. It is just when you lie in bed at night unable to sleep with these horrible symptoms that you start to get a bit worried.

Anyway thank you all for your continued support, I find I am relying a lot on the encouragement from this forum.
