Day 4

    Okay, so first of all I have to clear something up.  The other day I weighed myself and found that I was 138 pounds.  Well, I just realized this morning that I was weighing myself on a rug.  Didn't think anything of it the first few days.  I tried it on solid ground and found out that I have lost about 4 pounds.  It did seem very odd to me that I had lost so much weight so fast.   I feel pretty silly,  but at least I learned something.  So I'm about 148 pounds now.

  I've started to bloat a bit more today.  The bloating was bad enough by the end of the day, that I was pretty uncomfortable and felt very nauseated.  Nausea is a pretty common feeling for me (what with the gastritis and all) but I had been feeling better the first few days of the diet.  My muscles are pretty sore  especially the ones on my rib cage.  That is a very common place for me to have my tender points.  Pain from the belly button down is still constant.  I hope to see some improvement soon.  If I don't, in the next few days I may change my diet some.  Diet for IBS takes out some of the fresh vegetable and fatty meats.  The gut does not handle these well.  It is also good to avoid any gassy foods. 

I haven't exercised in the last few day because of how tired I've felt.  The exhaustion is very common at the beginning of the diet, hopefully it will let up soon.  I'm going to try and exercise tomorrow.  We'll see how it goes.

I ate a lot of leftovers today because I was so tired, and didn't really feel like preparing much.
