Hello everyone!
Well.. I am 229.2 this morning -- I lost 1.2 from yesterday -- and a net loss of 4.2 - My losses are slowing (as they do... I was expecting that - you always loose real good the first week!) -- but I want to do what I can to try to maintain a pound a day loss.... So... I will do a detox bath over the holidays and see how that goes - I will check my calorie intake more carefully to make sure I am getting in 500/day and I will make sure I get in my water! I may try to exercise just a little (10 minutes or so) - you are not to excercise a lot on this phase, so I will keep that low.
I have not been sleeping well, my legs have been hurting some at night, I will take potassium -- because it helps with that and it really helped me on my last round -- I have to go buy some today - My dd has my other bottle. And I will start taking melatonin as that aids with sleep as well...
So today I will actually log my calories (I am not a detail girl, so that will be an effort! but an effort well worth it!). I am also going to try adding coconut oil/mct oil -- scared to do that, I didn't do that the first round- because it isn't in the protocol, however according to a wonderful support group I am a part of, it is good for you during this phase -- so, I won't know until I try -- that may not be today, depends if I get the courage up to try it, I don't want to hinder my losses in any way. This week is Thanksgiving -- I want to really enjoy it -- by not having regret or guilt -- and I can do that....Food is not the end of all things -- and while I certainly enjoy eating, I really enjoy loosing too! I let Christmas be my "enjoy food" time -- and just make the best of this Thanksgiving. I will be cooking all the goodies for my family and see them enjoy it all -- while I continue to press through -- Don't get me wrong, I DO NOT FEEL DEPRIVED -- I just feel very confined to structure -- p3 gives more freedom! I'll update more later! Happy Day everyone!
