Stuck but not Stumped

For the past few days, my weight has basically been stagnant. I have tried everything to get myself a bit more regular and finally broke down and got the recommended Magnesium Citrate. I have been taking about 625mg a day for the past couple days and have only become bloated. I did try fiber for a couple days, nothing.

I tried Colon Blow, which is really called Colon Clenz but it just reminds me so much of the skit on Saturday Night Live back in the 70's. Remember the cereal, Colon Blow? LOL Well, the Colon Clenz did not work either.

The next day the Magnesium came in the mail. I am waiting for it to start working now. Apparently if you are deficient in Magnesium, you will not get the natural laxative benefits from it and have to increase dosage slowly until you are a movin', then cut back until you are at a pace you are comfortable with. So.... I am going to take 1000 mg today and see what happens tomorrow. I am hoping that as soon as this is dealt with, I will drop 5 pounds immediately! That is my wish!!!!!

I am at 185.8 today which is disappointing to me. I mean, I am eating 500 calories a day! Today I am discouraged and wanting pizza... but I won't:) I will have shrimp and salad or steamed cabbage and stay on protocol. I am confident that this will soon pass and I will have a terrific end to my week #2 of VLCD.
