Day 3 and Feeling Great!

[BekkiH]

Today is Day 3 of induction and I feel marvelous!@

The first couple days were a little rough... at some point in the afternoon on day 1, I thought I wouldn't make it. I felt run down, and nauseous. I was craving carbs (any kind of carbs - fruit, veggies, cookies LOL) like there was no tomorrow.

Yesterday was a little bit better. I had my moments of feeling yucky from lack of veggies (I used to eat a LOT of veggies every day), but it was a lot easier than day one.

Today, I feel great.

I've been sleeping better since the first night I started! Before, I was having trouble getting to sleep, and I kept waking up around 5:00am, unable to go back to sleep.

I thought that feeling lousy was supposed to happen a few days into this (after using up my body's glycogen stores). Maybe I have yet to experience that, or maybe my body acts differently because I have Insulin Resistance.

No matter what, I'm feeling good now, so I'll rejoice for it!

Can't wait for my weigh-in on Saturday!!!

Keep up the good work, folks

Bekki - you are eating your allowed 3 cups of veg, I hope Try to choose the more nutritious ones rather than just lettuce!

Re: Day 3 and Feeling Great!

Thanks for the support, everyone!

I'm DEFINITELY eating my 3 cups of veggies per day. 1 cup of spring salad veggies with dinner, and the others are usually peppers, mushrooms, cucumbers, broccoli, etc.

Re: Day 3 and Feeling Great!

Good for you, Bekki

And after 2 weeks you can start to add more veggies too!!

Re: Day 3 and Feeling Great!

I CAN'T WAIT to eat more veggies! I cooked broccoli with dinner last night and measured out 2 cups (1 for me, 1 for DH). It looks so pitiful there in my steamer. LOL

Great job, Bekki! This is fun, isn't it?

Re: Day 3 and Feeling Great!

I'm glad to hear that everyone is doing so well!

Today is day 5, and I still feel stellar. I've been cheating and weighing every day (soooo curious) and as of this morning, I'm down 12.5 lbs! I know a lot of it is water, but I'm still happy for it!

Re: Day 3 and Feeling Great!

What really amazes me is that I have Insulin Resistance - all my life, it has been virtually IMPOSSIBLE to lose weight. I made sure not to set my expectations too high... I was really hoping for 5 - 10 lbs weight loss by the end of induction. I didn't want to set myself up for disappointment.

I am still preparing myself that this rapid loss could slow down at any time, but I'm going to enjoy it while it lasts!!!
