Day 1
Tuesday, 9/3/2013
Woke up tired, but in a ready state of mind. Blended the Wildberry Yogurt drink with water
and ice to make a smoothie. Drank my
smoothie, then had a cup of Peppermint Tea with some splenda. Took my vitamins. Feeling pretty crappy at the moment. Stomach feels queasy. Burps taste like my multi-vitamin.
I hate vitamins. I've
been drinking tons of water and I think it helps a little. I finally had a stick of Orbit gum and that's
helping a little too. I just feel
extremely tired and still have a bit of upset stomach.
I kind of wish I could
take a day or two off while my body adjusts.
Note to self - don't start this kind of diet on a work day. Start on a weekend so I can adjust at home in
comfort. And sleep it off. Unfortunately I have a meeting this afternoon
so I can't go home for the day. Instead,
I will go home for lunch. Maybe getting
up and moving around will help me a little.
Breakfast: Wildberry Yogurt Drink - It was okay. Not bad, not great. It has bits of berries in it and it was
slightly frothy. I mixed it and then
left it in the fridge overnight. This
morning I blended it with just a few ice cubes to make a smoothie. It was a lot less than many other kinds of
diet shakes I've had, but I was okay with that.
I may have to consider eating something solid for breakfast though--like
an omelet or something.
I've heard the first three days are the hardest. I can get through this!
Lunch: Chicken Soup - bleh.
It was a cream soup. It smelled
okay, and the first bite was okay. It
had a mild flavor, but there was something about it that made it hard for me to
keep swallowing. I followed the
directions and just did the 8 oz of water, which made it on the thick
side. I would probably add more water
and some seasonings too if I try it again.
The consistency was also weird for me.
Yes, it was creamy, but it was kind of like a foamy/creamy
combination. I don't know. It was just weird for me, especially with
some lingering nausea from my multi-vitamin.
By the bottom of the bowl, I was really having to force myself to
swallow.
I enjoyed the salad.
I had plenty of crunchy veggies.
I also tried the Walden Farms Italian dressing. It wasn't bad. I may have to figure out something other than
soup for lunch. I'm looking forward to
trying different items and seeing what is tolerable for me. I have a feeling it's different for everyone. I think the meal helped bring my energy up a
bit. I still feel tired, but then again
I slept horribly last night. I think I
feel slightly better. I have two
training sessions I'm presenting at work today, so I will probably have a snack
either before or in between.
I'm actually not terribly hungry.
The Apple Cinnamon Soy Snacks are actually pretty decent. I am feeling a little better this
afternoon. I talked to my brother briefly and
he said that day two is the worst!
Snack: Apple Cinnamon Soy Snacks – pretty okay. I kind of even liked them. They were slightly sweet, and slightly
bland. I felt like it was plenty for a
snack. I would probably order them
again.
I feel pretty tired this afternoon. I’m not lightheaded, but I’m not able to
concentrate very well. My boss is
letting me work from home tomorrow so that should help. I went ahead and started prepping for my
meals tomorrow. Day two is supposed to
be the hardest, so I picked the ones that I’ve heard the best things
about. Hopefully that will help me.
Tonight I’ll be cooking some sautéed chicken breasts in
olive oil, garlic, and green onions. It
should be yummy. I haven’t decided if I
want a salad or veggies or both. Maybe I’ll
sautee some of my broccoli and have a small salad to go with. Tomorrow I may treat myself to tomatoes or
green beans (can only have twice per week).
I think the rest of my evening will be smooth sailing!
