Day one to the healthier me

[bad4x4girl]

Hello, again. I figured since I did so well last time I tried the Shakedown (over a year ago) that I would come on back for another round. Day 1 today, and I forgot how filling the shakes are. I plan on doing the 4 weeks however, I'm at a go with out supplements because I'm broke. But I figure the principal of the diet will hopefully lead to a loss, albeit probably not huge.

So here's to day 1. Looking forward to my chicken when I get home tonight!

Day 2 - I am HUNGRY. I don't remember that being a problem last time. And I'm of course getting headaches from no pop. Feeling very lethargic today as well. Brought extra veggies with me for today.I'm hoping I don't get home tonight and scarf through my chicken in 30 seconds like I did last night.

Update- STARVING. Stomach growling and I already ate all the veggies I brought with me. 2 more hours of work and another hour before I get home for dinner. Ugh.....

Thanks for the tips Linda!! After reading your post, I think my problem yesterday was I forgot my eggs. By the time I got home I warmed up left over chicken and made a small salad and could barely finish. I think my body is playing tricks on me. Definitely hoping today goes better and I remembered my eggs! I will have to take up your suggestion and post in the Shakedown area. Can always use tips!!

Today is day 4. Hopped on the scale to see where I was at and I have lost 4 lbs so far. Not too shabby. Yesterday was a lot better remembering the eggs for the day. Lots of veggies today to keep me satisfied and I get to have my fruit as a snack since my shakes today were made without. Tried my hand at a shakedown friendly iced coffee. Not too bad.

Day 5 - I have to comment that I am sleeping more soundly, however having some crazy nightmares. That may just be stress related though.

Not hungry at all this morning but just finished my shake as I'm supposed to. I HAVE to make myself eat today. Crazy the extreme ups and downs my hunger levels are going through this time.

Another thing to note: swelling in my feet has gone down and I was able to tighten my shoes today with no pain. However, I have what I can best describe as an aching pain in my right shoulder. Hoping I just slept funny on it. And my skin is much clearer than than it normally is.

Day 9 and my clothes are falling off. YES!! Aunt flow reared her ugly head so waiting to weigh in until the 14th. Shouldn't weigh everyday anyway, right?!

Well last week supposed to be my week off from shakedown. I had a couple shakes anyway, and then my week went down the crapper. Kicked my boyfriend of 5 years out, and my life fell apart. So that led to no appetite at all.

Even with that the total lost since 10/1 stands at 10 lbs. Loss of 21 inches. Down 2 pant sizes. Time to get my head on straight again.
