I will admit I was nervious to start. I did what I always do I planned ahead. The night before I was putting together my meals for the first day. I new I didn't have to worry about the lean and green part because we were going to my health coach's house where she was going to fix a L&G (lean and green) for us. I was thankful she did that for us because really I had no clue how to fix the greens. Cook Veggies??? Sure I knew how to open a can of green beans or boil water for corn on the cob. Beyond that my knowledge of cooking healthy veggies that my family would eat was limited.
I never get headaches and OMG was my head pounding! I was warned by Chemae but didn't think I would get them. It was hard to focus at work because of it. Also I was so worried about eating every 2-3 hrs. I guesss I thought I wouldn't know I was hungery. I set my task manager to remind me. LOL I was wrong. I have never heard my stomach do so much talking! It was very odd. By the end of the day I still had the headache and was a little crabby. Jason asked me how I did. Fine I said. "I felt like all I did was eat and my head hurts, so I think I am doing everything right."
I got through the rought part. The first three days. My body had come out of what I call the detox stage just fine. I was still struggling. Old habbits are hard to break. I caught myself many times almost licking the knife with the jelly on it from making the kids lunches. Ok so truthfuly I did lick the knife. The mayo knife. Why? I have no idea. You become a little spacey/blond during the first week. But no worries things do get better! Keep reading....
It was tues Nov 2nd my day of truth. It was weigh in day. Jason and I have decided that we want our results to be documented in our medical records. Off I went to Kaiser. Millions of thoughts racing through my mind. I felt like crap the first few days and all I have done is eat. Am I really going to be down? I held my breath and steped on the scale. I closed my eyes and didn't look. The nurse said to me "Mam, your going to want to look." So I did. OMG!!! "That can't be right" The scale read 301. I was in shock. I lost 12 lbs in 7 days! I will post monthly pics too.
The next day came and I was feeling great. Was it because I was so inspired by my loss? I think so. But after a few more days passed. I realized I was in the "fat burning" stage That was Awesome to realize my body is doing what it should with what I was puttting in my mouth. I have had TONS of energy! I am doing things I haven't done in years. There simple things like cleaning out the kitchen cuboards and hall closets. I still dislike the stairs but not because I am out of breath mid way through. It's because mid way up my pants are falling off my butt! There are 14 stairs at work and now I use them instead of paging upstirs. It is time to invest in a belt! Who would have ever thought, not me!
