Of pooping and pounds Read at your own discretion
Pooing is very important to weightloss, it is the act of your body getting rid of.. well.. crap.
That said and done I found this to be an extreme case the other day. You see I'd had a late start yesterday morning and in my distraction I forgot to use the toilet as was morning ritual. I saw it as only a minor inconvenience and decided I'd take care of that business sometime while at work.
As I walked into the facility they announced via intercom that they were weighing the weight loss support group members and everyone should meet in the front hall. I was able to drop off my bag and dash it down the hall in time to get weighed. I weighed in at 196.6 when just the week previous I'd only weighed 195.6, and I wrote the new found pound off as "un-expelled waste weight" and carried on in my day.
I did, eventually, manage to use the restroom, and weighed myself later in the day.
I was at 193.4
That's a lot of shit right there.

Useless Spaghetti Arms
Went to the gym, did my work out and then had all my measurements taken.
I've lost around 13 inches total since last month, which is good.
According to the scale at work/home I'm still 195 lbs.
After the gym we met up with the support group at Panera and brought up the topic of mom's bruising and itching. This is apparently perfectly normal and has happened to them all. They assure her not to worry. It's something to do with iron and hormones.
A good book series to invest in is the "Eat this not That" series, it's really interesting.
Ok, I'm tired. Nap time.

Man v. Food might not have been the best choice
After having the 360 for over a year I finally broke down and bought one of those wireless gizmos that puts it online.
Why?
So I can watch Netflix in my room. :B
Which was a good thing, considering that the next day I came down with the stomach virus from hell and spent the rest of the week stretched out in bed watching stuff from Netflix's Instant Watch selection.
I started off watching episodes of Adam Richman nosh his way through 5 bowls of fire chili and while I did squirm a bit I didn't get the queasies until he was half-way through a second chili eating episode (the one where he ate like 3 lbs of chili on a cheeseburger, another 3 lbs on a plate of fries, and a big ass milk shake).
It was at that juncture that I decided to switch over to something a little less nauseating.
Dirty Jobs.
... don't judge me.
Anyway, update on mom:
Her results are in and everything is normal. As for the bruising and dry skin.. we still don't know. She's found an iron pill that is small, potent, and is slow release. She's also started taking children's gummy vitamins which seem to agree with her more.
I didn't want to be left out so I bought some kiddie vitamins of my own (superhero ones, if anyone was curious) and also picked up this new and special iron pill. So far I have found it to be more agreeable than the previous tablets. In the end it might cost more, but at least we're getting our vitamins.
As for me, I am feeling better. I went out of the house today, only got marginally tired (and grumpy) and managed to eat 3 inches of a 4 inch sandwich. So far nothing has tried to make a hasty exit.
I would just like to say I appreciate everyone's concern and well wishes, I really wasn't expecting so many people to ask how I was doing, I was touched. Thank you guys.
Weigh in:
Before sickies: 198
This morning: 194
Starting weight: 233

Stomach Virus
So just an update, I do have the stomach flu/virus.
That is what had thrown me off so much yesterday. I managed to sleep from 12pm to a little after 4pm and felt significantly better. I also haven't eaten anything since noon yesterday and it is currently 10:32 pm.
I no longer want to sick up at the thought of food, smell is still 50/50 and the sight doesn't bring me pain. According to mom I've got another day and a half before I start feeling better.

We are concerned
Mom went to the doctor's today for some tests. Her skin is abnormally dry and itchy, she's actually scratched herself raw with multiple raw scabs. Massive bruises have also started to randomly appear and they tend to linger for a very long time. She talked to Dr. H and he said it sounds like her liver isn't functioning quite right and he wanted some tests done stat.
Mom is now pressing that I also go in for some tests, since I don't seem to have any energy at all. My trainer even expressed some concern, he said I'm not doing as well as I should be as far as workout improvement. He thinks I'm not getting enough protein, which I'm pretty sure is true.
EDIT:
Just got out of the shower, I was too tired to stand and my arms to useless to shampoo my hair. I managed to drag myself out of the shower and sat on the toilet for awhile, thinking "I am freaking parched" and "but all drinks are far away."
Seriously the only thing that got me to drag my happy ass out of there was the thought of the big bottle of gatorade sitting next to my bed. I took a swig of gatorade and it feels sour in my stomach.
Maybe I'm just coming down with the stomach flu that's been going through where I work like crazy.
Just..so..lethargic.
