Drop of 4.2 lbs from day 1. That's the largest first day drop of any of my rounds. Slept like a log last night (thank you Ambien), but woke up around 6am sweating like crazy. Realized that I fell asleep with my heated mattress pad on. Maybe all that sweating helped the scale. Spent the afternoon running errands with my daughter-in-law and grandbaby. First time I've had any hunger at all was this afternoon when I ended up out later than a typical P2 dinner time for me. Not starving at all, but I definitely knew it was time to eat.
I'm fudging a bit today since it's early in the round. I mixed veggies in my soup for dinner and used mushrooms. We shall see if I continue this or not.

Hi Beth,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Sarah and I am currently on day 6 of phase 2. I am really trying superbly hard not to just eat any and everything that smells so good to me. There are things that I never ate before that I want to eat now :). I do have a question though. I will be away from home for the first 2 weeks of phase 3 and would like to know where you got the ideas from for your meals? I am thinking of stocking up on stuff that I know that I can eat for those 2 weeks so that I dont have to start this whole process all over again... All of your help is greatly needed since you look like you have this all under control.
Thanks Much ~
Sarah~
Hi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteWhen you are away from home will you be able to prepare you own foods? That definitely makes a difference. Restaurant meals are notorious for having added sugars and starches and we have little control over them. As for my ideas, it's just foods that I enjoy. Everything I make is fairly basic and definitely very easy.
