Well, its been 5 days today, and I am doing pretty darn good, if I should say so myself! I don't know how much weight I have lost (if any) but I am still following the book and eating what what I am suppose to. I do admit, I need to get up and moving more(im a SAHM), so tonight, I am going to put away my Christmas tree (Yes, Its still up...but I know I am not the only one with a tree still up...come on) and in replace of my tree, I am going to put my treadmill there. I have got to stay active, and I know that will also be the Key to losing this weight!
On this diet, I have noticed that I am HUNGRY a lot! Its getting better as the days go on, but the first 3 days... my belly was growling so loud, yet I felt like I was constantly eating.. Now that its my 5th day...its not so bad, but I still feel like I am eating a lot. My weekly food I bought at the beginning of this diet, is already running out..
About the green tea....I loooove drinking the green tea now! Its crazy, but I have learned to love it! I actually drink more than the minimum! It doesn't really have a flavor, but I get the fruit kind (no sugar is added) and you smell the fruit, but don't really taste it. Its nice. Blueberry is my fav!!!
You know, I was watching Dr. Phil today, and they were talking about the 17 day DIET, and I seen a lil clip where a woman had mentioned that there is a special section in the book that tells you how to still lose weight even when you are PMSing. I def. need to read that part now....cause its that time for me! (I know, TMI!) but I would hate to weight myself come Saturday, and see I have gained...or not lost.....HOW discouraging...right? I have to admit, it has been hard to NOT have chocolate...or sugar prior to be getting ready to start. I am one of those ladies that crave it like a pregnant woman craves pickles and ice cream! :) HA. I will drive to the store at 2 in the morning to get chocolate if its that time of the month for me....so me going through these cravings....and not being able to have chocolate, has been sooo hard. The other night, I was craving sugar so bad, that I found myself taking a lil nibble outta my baby sons arrow gerber graduate cookie, as I was feeding it to him. How pathetic is that? huh? OH, and I should mention, that to get over my craving, I ate a serving of peanut butter on a spoon. I LOOOOOVE peanut butter, and I thought,"well, its either cookies, or a serving of peanut butter." and I went with what I thought the best option was. (even though PB is not mentioned in the book as a item that I am allowed to eat) Peanut butter is HIGH protein...and cookies are high sugar and flour. I dont know if that is going to effect my weight-loss..but I went with what I thought was best.
I have to mention also, I miss milk. I normally drink skim milk, and nowhere in the book (in the first chapter) does it say I can have milk..so that's been hard!
Okay, so I am getting ready to mention some TMI here...but I did not buy flaxseed oil to cook with for this diet, and I am regretting it! ( i assume that its suppose to help with my "problem" and...I am drinking TONS TONS of water, but I'm still getting "PLUGGED UP" so it looks like I need to take a trip to the store to buy something that will HELP with that. UHhhggg!
Okay, well I am getting hungry again, so I guess I better eat something...
