  • Made my first goal weight yesterday!

    Hubby and I got sick a couple days ago... first it started with all over achiness, then it moved on to some sore throats, and then it went to headache/dizziness. We strolled about a half mile yesterday and walked around the grocery store for exercise. It took 45 minutes. It was the best I could do for exercise! When we came home I did some very light housekeeping for a few hours- anything that didn't require bending over. I accidentally took a lozenge when I woke up because my throat was so painful I couldn't sleep and then after a couple minutes thought, oh crap, this tastes sweet. It has gluconate in it. I hope it doesnt stall me for the next couple days. Today we're taking the day off from exercise to try to recuperate. I hope this passes soon. I think he picked up a bug at the hospital we work at and gave it to me since he had it a day before me... pretty sure this is not "induction flu" especially since he had similar symptoms!

    The good news is that I hit my first goal weight-- 120 lbs-- down from 128.6! It was so good to see the number on the scale. When I started the diet I said that we would go eat ice cream at Friendlys. I would just have a small cone. But as I looked at the carbs on the cones I found the smallest one I could have there was 18g carbs. My total daily allowance. So, it's taken A LOT of strength but I changed my reward to ordering some da vinci sugar-free syrups online. I really hope they taste good. I ordered direct from the company with a pump-- vanilla, gingerbread, and caramel.

    I'm feeling very strong for overcoming my urge to eat ice cream and looking forward to achieving my next goal-- 115 lbs! I think I'm getting a manicure and pedicure for that one! I wanted to share it here first

    Congrats! That's awesome, and the strength to say no to the icecream is inspirational! I've just recently been ordering the Davinci syrups online and don't know how I ever lived without them. The four I've ordered so far are incredible!

      Congratulations on your loss so far
      Weigh to go on forgoing the ice cream too
      Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
      Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
