Slept well last night but still sleepy this afternoon. Cranky as anything. Chocolate is calling but I've managed to ignore it. It calls to me quietly, whispering in my ear, looking at me from the shelf in my pantry. Only 9 more days and I can eat it. The one thing that is keeping me on track is I weighed myself this morning and I'm down 3.6lbs; so my dear sweet chocolate wait for me, I won't be long.

So day 3 was good. Snacks need work - almonds alone really don't cut it. Black coffee sucks. I'm surprised I'm able to stay away from sweets but I guess I have more will power than I thought. The pills in the kit aren't too bad, not great but not bad. The drops however are not good, even cutting them with water doesn't help much but I remind myself it's all for a good cause and thankfully a short time. Today the only annoying side is just that, the irritability is starting - me needs sugar!! Wish me luck!!
Well I see my days are getting out of order - forgot to put the tag on so now they're all mixed up. That's ok I think I am a little too so why shouldn't everything be that same.
6 days down and 4lbs, not too shabby me thinks. I'm pretty happy with it. Tomorrow I start working out, yay!! A whole new set of posts to come but more on that tomorrow. The day was good, need to work more on snacks and eating on time so I don't get too hungry but its a learning curve. We did eat out last night so we missed taking our pills and drops but we'll add them on the end. We went to Opa! and I had a Chicken souvlaki with Greek Salad no cheese, then proceeded to push most of the tomatoes to the side. It was pretty good and considering I didn't cook it pretty healthy too. Other than not sleeping very well again and being a bit snippy the day was good, tonight I try to go to bed earlier and see if that helps. Until tomorrow. Ok really. I mean I'm doing much better than I thought I would, I have much more will power than I believed I did and I'm doing pretty good I think overall, well at least I think so, Man and Miss Muffet might say something different. I know I get very irritated quite easily but once I eat it goes away. I didn't sleep very well, not sure what that is about but maybe it's this crazy weather we're having.
So the meals I'm ok with. The pills I'm getting used to, even the yucky drops I know there's an end so I'm dealing with them. My biggest problem is snacks. I look on the list, it all sucks. Look up ideas on the Internet they suck too. Well I shouldn't say that, really it's just the same 3 or 4 ideas that I've already been eating and I'm just tired of them. I need variety. For now I suffer, I'm almost half way done so I can make it the rest of the way, then more snacks will come to me. Soon my friendly snack, soon. Eggs, eggs are good. If it was not for the wonderful Eggs in Purgatory that Man made this morning is the only thing that kept me sane.
I did however sleep incredibly well, even after Miss Muffet woke me up. Usually I lay awake for half an hour or more but I fell right back to sleep. On the other hand bathroom breaks are far more frequent and my brain thinks its starving. Another headache but I was anticipating this one. So far I have discovered a great chicken recipe and the Glowing Green Smoothie is really not something I want to have again. Tomorrow a peach smoothie, looking forward to that one but I'll let you know. Happy sweets, have a couple extras for me. So the other day Man brought home a Detox. We've both said its time to do something about our "roundness" and figured this would be a great jump start. Today we started, at least we're doing it together, misery loves company. I have to say though I've felt very alert all day and I got a lot done. Problem was but the afternoon I was CRAVING sugar and unless it was a half hour after eating my hands were shaking, might have been the black coffee. Oh and the headache that started late afternoon but an Advil took care of that for now.
