bathroom visits

[Fran P]

Not to be crass or anything but, gee whiz!I just completed day 4 of the SS but began the cranwater and hot lemon water several days prior .I normally drink this much water anyway but since last week i need to "p" at least once an hour while awake and 1-2 times during the night(once is normal for me).I should invest in the tp industry! I venture a guess that this is all part of the detox? I cannot wait to regulate this though.
I feel great, everything else is working normally. I am not hungry but still have a few cravings since i am such a carb addict but that's lessening now.I did not weigh-in but have a dress as my gauge so Monday, i'll try it on to see if there is any change in the fit.
Did anyone else spend so much time running like this and for how long?
I suppose this is more a comment/question than a complaint because one doesn't argue if it's doing what it's supposed to, right?

peace, fran

Hi Fran! Yup - this is a part of detox from your liver and lymphatic system. I, too have more frequent visits to the girls room. I just look at it as a good thing with bad stuff leaving my body. Keep on keeping on!

Hi Fran,

I'm on day 6 and last night I only had to get up once, the 1st night I got up 2 or 3 times....so I think it will get better.

Hang in there!

Half way thru day 6-still having to go hourly. Went to a resort in Lake George for brunch which was a loooong drive-over an hour, but i did ok. Coming back we made an emergency side trip to pick up a stranded nephew which sort of hurt a little but i made it home in time. Sheesh.On the very bright side-i stayed pretty true to my SS. Having a veggie omelet, prepared with none of their buttery fat, a dish of melon and green salad w/no dressing(didn't carry my own dressing this time). I did drink their coffee instead of my organic . I did not have any of the pasta, breads, sweet rolls or lucious desserts. When i am good, i am very good, when i am bad, i am horrid. :-)
Now i am having a smoothie w/ no fruit but putting in chia and coconut oil.
peace, Fran

Yep - lots of trips to the bathroom. It also depends on how much/when you drink. If I drink 24 oz after 6 pm, I'll be up 2-3 times before 7 am. It has slowed down and I can usually got 2-3 hours between trips. Like Birdlady said, it's the fat leaving so it's all good.

Congrats on being good at the resort. Feels good doesn't it?

Keep us posted.

Completed Day 14 ! Hooray for me! THE dress fits now! That is very exciting. I may even step on a scale tomorrow morning although i did not weigh in before i started this plan. It was all about the dress !Now, i need to get motivated to do more workouts and rebounding. I did not cheat,even one tiny time for this 2 weeks. You can't expect something to work for you if you try to change it to suit what you want or by having just a little of this or a little of that. That wisdom was gained from experience.
peace, Fran
ps: still running to the bathroom almost hourly and quite tired of it.

OK, so i faced the scale and the measuring tape. All the numbers were just where i expected which is ok but not where i wanted. A woman knows her weight and measurements by how THAT pair of jeans fits or doesn't fit.I am sticking with SS for several days longer, but will take a 24 hour break Sat-Sun when i visit my daughter. That's not to say i'll go too far astray but will just enjoy our very healthy vegetarian meals for that short time. And, she'll make me walk near LISound for miles and miles, too!
The next weigh in will be in 10 days before the wedding when i will wear the pink dress! I have high hope that the white jeans will look neat and smoooooth then,too. I have my work cut out for me!
peace, Fran
