Well. I finally broke the blasted 3 pound mark. When I weighed in this morning, I had lost 4/10ths of a pound. Now, this may not seem like much, but for someone who has been trying to get back to where she was just a couple months ago, it's huge. I had been at the lost-three-mark for several weeks. I did not exercise yesterday, but I was careful about what I ate. I bring my lunch to work each day, and I had BBQ chicken breast tenderloin, gluten free shells n' cheese, and strawberry spinach salad. Brent had made a goji-cacao-date energy bar, and I snacked on it, and I had a glass of carrot juice. For breakfast, I had munched on flax seed crackers I made in the dehydrator, and for dinner last night? Tuna patties, more gluten free shells, and carrots. That's also my lunch today. Breakfast so far was a pound of strawberries (Sound like a lot? Not really. 175 calories and about 9 grams of fiber! Mmm-mmm-mmmmhhh.....)
One of the other women taking the Diet 360 told me that she noticed her energy tanked after a certain period of time and she was hungry. Maybe that's why it's supposed to be taken three times each day. I haven't experienced that as of yet. As for what I have experienced, here's the report for yesterday: I felt like a racehorse. I don't know how many times I had to run to the bathroom and pee, but it felt ridiculous to me - and I was so thirsty all day yesterday! I know I got in my eight glasses of water in. I'm still pretty thirsty today, but I guess I've progressed from the racehorse stage. lol. We've made plans to go walking during lunch time, so I hope to get in at least 30 minutes then. If I have time, I'll hike the hills on our place at home for awhile this evening. I feel like I need the muscle-building aspect to help move things along.
Last night, at dinner, it was very challenging to me not to eat a second helping. Tuna patty night is one of my favorite meals. But 20 minutes after I put my plate in the sink, I was so full, I didn't feel like having anymore. I didn't even have a slice of toast with honey last night. Woo-hoo! But I still had the fully loaded coffee this morning.
All in all, I consider Day One a success. We'll see how day two pans out. ~Summer
Day One: lost 0.4 pounds
Remaining for Phase One: 4.6 pounds by April 4th.
