day 3 and i'm hangin' in there

[Cobra Dan]

day 1 was cool. no problems.
day 2 was a bit rough on me. i ate alot. low carb stuff of course, but i ate a considerable amount more than day 1.
day 3... just finished up with lunch. doing very well... so far.

i am still drinking diet pepsi, but i have cut WAY back on that. i'll swap it out for diet rite as soon as i can get to the store.

i was drinking 6+ sodas a day... some days even 10 or 12.

day 1 i drank 2 sodas and drank water the rest of the day.
day 2 i drank 3.5 sodas (the bad carb cravings were sorta strong yesterday)
and so far today i have had 1 soda... i can count on having at least one more. i don't really have a problem with that either. i feel better knowing i'm getting alot more water in my system and alot less soda.

so, life is good for now. i am already down 3.5 pounds (water weight, but it's nice to see once i quit stuffing my face with crap food that my weight starts to adjust). thats all i know.

It does seem to get easier every day, (Except Day 8, when I wanted to eat the refrigerator and not even mess with the contents.

Sounds as if you are getting into the swing of induction, Dan.
Are you going to try to ignore the daily expected ups and downs of those scale readings this time around? Or only get on them once a week or so?

Hiya dan-

I'm on day three myself. Well, two if you want to be super technical about it - i ate peanuts on the evening of the first night. A lot of them. Still better than I was doing but not exactly "strict" eh?

I too have lost 3 pounds! I'm pretty excited about that! I know I should stop weighing myself but the first week is always fun. Then I"ll go back to weighing myself once a week since I do tend to fluctuate a lot!

You're doing good, hang in there definitely, it will get a bit easier as you go. This is my second time around too, just keep pumping that water!

Weigh to go Dan. Sounds like you are doing well.

I am back after losing 14 pounds before the holidays. Fell off for a week from christmas eve to new years eve and gained 6 back,but back now and actually feel better thanlast time. Less of a habit to kick this time I guess!!! Got onthe scale this AM and have lost 4-5 pounds of the 6 I gained back! woohoo!!!!

Keep up the great work!
