C1D3

I am down 6 pds!! I feel so much better starting today than I did all day yesterday, the withdrawals of processed food and sugar is hopefully over. The only thing I am concerned with is the lack of calories. You don't count calories on this diet but I do and I don't think I am getting enough. My protein, fiber and iron levels are perfect, of course my carbs are low for this first cycle which is normal. I am not hungry at all but today I will have to figure out how to get in at least a couple hundred more calories.

So far so bad

Oye-Vay.... Day 2 17DD. I had to choke down my salad at lunch time. I feel dizzy, the raging sugar detox headache has appeared and I am fighting myself to keep from going to the bathroom and vomiting up my lunch. I KNOW this is withdrawals and it will get better and that is the only thing keeping me going. The green tea is caffeinated so I am getting my caffeine which I gave up coffee also as I do not like black coffee so I am opting to not drink that. So right now this is not fun. Not fun at all.

Add on to this post.

The headache is pretty much gone!!! I took 2 excedrin migraine and I assume thats what helped but the nausia and everything is gone also!!! YAY!!! Amazing what a couple of hours will do!!!!

Day 2 17DD

It's the morning of day 2. I woke up with a visitor this morning. I knew she would show up but did not think it would be so soon. You know her right? Miss Saboteur... I can hear her in my head talking negative talks about the 17DD already.... Well missy... You are not welcome here today, I have things to do and no time to play.

Day 1 is almost over!!

Today is the first day of the 17 Day Diet and it's been a really good day. Until the sugar cravings started. I know it's going to take a couple of days to get over that so I will just have to stay strong and keep drinking my water..... Going to bed early tonight though, don't trust myself. :)

17 Day Diet Day 1

First Day

Posted on 05/09/2011 by forest98520

Today I am starting the 17 Day Diet. I have to do something to jumpstart some droppage. My weight is getting out of hand quickly and it's got to stop. I am focused and going to put all I have into this first cycle and worry about the next cycle when it comes along.

I just finished day 2 of working out with Jillian. This is the video I was doing last summer. Good lord am I sore.. It's a good kind of sore but wholy crap... I can't help but think where I would be in the video if I had kept going??? No sense in dwelling though. Just have to keep moving.....

Dejavu...

Same old song and dance right? Blah Blah Blah Yada Yada Yada..... I know it's been since November and I have not done a damn thing... Positive side, I have not gained. Negative side, everything else... lol.... Holidays are over and I am sooooo glad to say goodbye to them. I am not going to say I am going to start again, I am just going to say I am going to get on here more often.... Ok? Good... See you tomorrow, maybe next week :)

It's Been Awhile...

It's been awhile since my last blog. I basically fell off the wagon shortly after starting this blog and felt there was no reason to be here. But the fact is whether I have good things to report or bad things, I need to report them. Just so I can see them in print.

Last June the 13th to be exact I started over yet again. This time was different because I was doing it for health and not weight. Over the spring I really started having problems with my back, my stomach was hurting all the time (I had been diagnosed with a Hiatel Hernia the Fall before) and I was not sleeping well at all. I was having really bad RLS and was miserable. I needed to change my ways just so I could feel better. I did GREAT!! I exercised regularly, ate much better, had only the occasional glass of red wine and the only thing I drank was water. Nothing else, just water. I felt so good and the benefit was I lost 17 pounds in just over a month. My friends and I had a girls weekend planned in Hilton Head S.C. the end of July so I knew I was going to stray during that time. I really did not do to bad actually but ever since coming back from there I have not been able to get my head in the game. I have my good day's and my bad day's, I have not gained anything back but have not lost any either. And my back is starting to hurt again so I have to get back to a routine. Right now I am taking it one day at a time. Today so far it's been a good day :)

I went to lunch with my friend Dawn today. We had a great meal and always great conversation. I had a half turkey sandwich and a bowl of veggie soup. And then had some delicious chips!! This restaurant is known for their Banana Pudding. I have had it several times. Now this is not your ordinary B.Pudding. This is B.P. straight from the heavens. It really is not pudding at all. It's more of a thick cream cheesy, custard with chunks of bananas and vanilla wafers and to top it off it is served on a crispy sugary tortillia shell!! Can you say YUM!!! Anyway they were out of it by the time we asked. Now earlier in the lunch there was a 4top across from us and they ordered a coconut cake. They ordered two pieces I am assuming with the intention of each person getting half a piece... I had my back to the server as she is bringing the two plates out but Dawn did see. Dawn was in shock and quickly pointed out to me the size of each piece of cake.... I turned my head just in time to see the expression of each of the faces at the 4top as they also saw what was in store for them. I am not exaggerating one bit here ok.. Each piece was like a quarter of a cake. So a full size round cake is cut into fours and that is how they are served??? I was like "Wholy crap are you serious???" and the people of course were just as shocked. I thought about bringing my camera with me today and told myself I did not need to... Well I wish I would have so you can see just how large a piece of cake is here... So of course we ordered 1 and split it. I thought it was pretty good but could not finish all as the frosting got a bit sweet for me. But the cake itself was very good.. Ok I know we are responsible for what goes in our mouths but can we just stop and think for a minute.. Why in the world would any restaurant serve you a piece of cake that size?? I know now where to go if I am having a dinner party and need dessert.. It will feed that many..

It's been a week and I must say that I have had good days and bad days. Eric bought me chocolates yesterday for V-day which did not help at all.. What's so bad is that they were not even very good but did I eat them?? You bet your arse I did....
