Just a quick post to let everyone know how the new medically supervised diet is plan is going.

Day 1 (Monday) – Morning ok, afternoon hungry, and had a headache. When I came home from work I was exhausted and went to bed right after dinner and slept like a log.

Day 2 – felt much better, add an allowed snack (3 celery sticks) with lunch. That really seemed to help a lot. Didn’t get tired and went to bed regular time. Wasn’t too hungry during the day or at night. Brought in an extra pre-packed meal just in case, but didn’t need it. (I had spoken with my health advisor and she said if need be reach for an extra prepared meal rather then go off the program).

Day 3 – (Wednesday – today) – feeling great and not hungry (which is a miracle cause I am usually always hungry). I’ve had three prepared meals so far and allowed snack (3 celery sticks). Still to have for today two more prepared meals and a lean & green meal. (NOTE: this morning I had one bite of scrambled egg that my hubby had left in the pan from his breakfast – it was protein so not a big slipup. It just smelled so darn good.)

So far so good, I think I’m going to be able to stick with this program. The first three days are the roughest as the body adjusts, but I’m feeling really good today already on day 3. I have stuck with the 5 prepared meals and 1 lean and green meal.

Beverages – no diet soda (I think this is week 4). Day 2 and 3 I had a tsp of coffee to my first morning shake (I still need the caffeine, I think that is why I had a headache the first day). I have two 32-oz plastic drinking bottles that I use for crystal light, so I’m keeping hydrated (been using those for the weeks I’ve been off soda). I started this week to add a splash of lemon to each (lemon helps keeps the body more alkaline). Plus I drink a bit of water whenever I think of it.

Exercise – none yet (Mon. & Tues. physically didn’t feel up to it), but today I am feeling good so I plan on getting in a walk or stationary bike for 30 mins. With this plan the first three weeks don’t really call for exercise, but if you do keeping it light is recommended.

I had my daughter take new photos last night of me in a one-piece bathing suit. There won’t be much difference from the updated photos from this past May, but I figured I’d have these new ones to record the start of this new phase on the medically supervised diet plan. I will get those posted soon.
