WOW! It's been a rough couple days!

So, I wish I could remember in this brain of mine what happens when you suddenly tell your body NO MORE of the bad stuff! I am so jonesin for a coke it isn't even funny and I had a migraine yesterday that kept me in bed literally all day. The good news is....I have lost 5.3 lbs (I gained 6.7 during the LOAD phase) so that has made it worth it...almost LOL!! When I hit the weight I started at and then start losing I will be even happier!

I will say that it was a hard couple days....but if I think about all the crud that I have been putting into my body for the last 20 adult years what can I really expect! I don't really know of another time that I haven't put sugar into my body for over three days in a row...sad I know!

I will also remember for the next round that when I do the load days--I will remember to eat more fattening foods with less sugar...I know Val, you said that! LOL! But I am a newbie and it sounded so good that I could eat cheesecake and milkshakes! The load days are supposed to give your body the fuel to work with this first week while you go on the 500 calories. I hope to be past the worst of it and am feeling half way decent with just a residual headache at this point.

As if throwing my body into shock with a diet wasn't enough I also started something way harder if you can believe that! I started babysitting a girl in the mornings starting at 6:30! I am so not a morning person and my hubby takes our kids to seminary at 6....but the Lord knows how to prepare me...as Bob was injured on the job last week and can hardly walk at this point--he is going in for an MRI today. So I got to take them--lets just say I was wide awake for when she showed up!

Hoping you all have a great day!
