I made it thru day one, I wasn't hungry and didn't eat all that I could have eaten I didn't have a fruit or the melba toast. I can't figure out how much of the vegatables you can have on this so I am going to hope as long as I dont go over the calories allowed then I am ok, if you are reading this and you know better let me know. I made it thru the day without Diet Coke (which I am so shocked about) when I drove by the Crest in the morning, my foster daughter said "Miss Beth you missed the turn." I had to remind her that I wasn't going to be going their for awhile that I was tring to just have water. Bless Ciara's heart she said, "you drink water" I am sure going to try. I picked up my son from school before going to get Ciara and my daughter and Corben wanted to know if I had made it without diet coke, he was so proud that I hadn't stopped at the Crest or the Holiday.
My work wasn't so supportive I got asked 4 times if I wanted to go get a drink, I tried to tell them that I was tring to be good and eat better so that I would hopefully feel better. I went to some home visits and came back and there was a maple bar on my desk, they had went to the bakery so they got everyone a treat, I didn't eat it :) I thought about it though, but I really need to put myself first for the first time in my life and really give this 30 days to make a difference in my life.
I felt fine for the most part of the day, except I was so tired by 9:30 which isn't like me, and I didn't sleep great as I kept having to get up to use the bathroom. I need to figure out the water thing, is everyone up a lot at night or do you stop drinking at a certain time.
I weighed this morning and I am proud to say that I have lost 3.8 since load days or 1.9 since the start, I cant decide if I will do the load weight or the first day weight. What are other people doing?
Well thanks for reading and letting me share my thoughts.

Oh my gosh! I can't believe this Beth, but I know who you are! I am a caseworker, I share an office with Aymee, I took Ciara to her visit a few weeks ago. What are the odds? I am just sitting here incredulously. That is just CRAZY! :) Well, I'm very excited that I can see your progress in person as well as on your blog! :)
ReplyDeleteWay to go for your first day of the diet. The first two were the hardest for me and then it got easier from there. How awful is that to have a donut sitting on your desk on your first day? Well, now you a glimpse into the truly strong and healthy person you are inside! That's what I keep thinking and trying to nurture that person.
As far as counting my weight, I have been giving the total from my load weight. But I also sometimes add in their my "net weight", or where I started. I think its whatever you want to do. I figure when I add in the load weight, I can just add on 2.6 lbs to get to my goal (that is how much I gained).
About the water... I stop drinking a lot around 7 or so. I have been going to bed pretty early. I've been getting up 1-2 times a night but because I take Advil PM it hasn't been a problem getting right back to sleep.
Also, I think its fine if you eat the foods allowed up to 500 cal... alot of people say they cut out the fruit and/or melba because they do better with lower carbs. I think if you are working with the allowed foods up to 500 cal you will be fine. That's just my opinion.
Again, I just can't believe I know you! That is so cool!
