Day 3

They say day three is the worst, I'd have to agree. Last night I was felt more hungry then I did the first day and this morning I woke up with a slight headache. I feel all achy and stiff today (although that might have something to do with cleaning out the flower beds last night). I feel hungrier and just not satisfied. It's not terrible ... yet, but I'm thinking about the things I can't have more today then previous. One of our drivers brought in popcorn (one of my fav snacks) and I passed it on to the other guy that works here. I still feel like I'm not doing well on the program, maybe because I expected to feel worse?! Maybe because I have failed before on different plans? I am following the plan to a T, but not as serious as one of my friends did. I am still having my coffee in the morning but with 1oz of 1% milk and some Splenda (which I'm pretty sure your allowed) but I also have about two cups of tea (with Spenda) through out the day. So I'm hoping that the tea won't slow down my progress? I'm not sure if there is a limit to how much Spenda you can have? It feels almost like a treat, cause of the sweetness, and as I understand you aren't suppose to have any sweets cause your pancrease is suppose to be resting and not worrying about putting insulin out? Or something like that? I didn't have my supper salad again last night and thought if I got hungry later on I would have it as a snack but never did!? Hopefully this doesn't hinder my loss either (although I'm pretty sure all it does is help with BM?)

I have tried a couple different recipe/ concoctions for salad dressing and I think so far my favorite is oil and vinegar with herbs - it almost tastes like Italian dressing!? I have decided that I'm not a big fan of raw broccoli but steamed is awesome. Apparently Jacob likes it too cause he ate almost all my broccoli off my plate last night. I also will not be buying anymore radishes, they aren't what I remember them tasting like!?

Last night I had the chocolate pudding for a snack, it was good - not as good as the chocolate drink. As I ate it I thought it would be even better with a bit of Fat Free Cool Whip but I'm not sure what the stats are on that ... probably unacceptable!? I'll have to check the next time I'm at the grocery store!? This morning I tried the cappuccino drink again but this time I had it how you are suppose to and didn't try mixing it in my coffee!? It was OK, but I don't think I will get it again? Or not as many!! My coach said it was one of the popular ones so I grabbed about 3 of them. So far the chocolate drink was by far the best!! It tasted like a fudgesicle!! hmmm

So ... I snuck a peak ... I had to - I was dying to find out what the scale said and to my surprise it really wasn't that great of a number!? Maybe my expectations are too high? Maybe I went way over board on the weekend after my weigh in and should have re-weighed in on Monday before actually starting IP?? So I'm hoping that now that I'm past the dreaded day 3 my body will be in ketosis and things will just melt off!! :D Wouldn't that be great!!!
