Well, I am hungry... not surprised... the calorie total is very small, but I am not having the expected sugar or carb cravings or withdrawal symptoms like I expected. No headaches, etc. God is sooo good. I am not allowed to have Nyquil and last night I only slept about 2 hours. Not sleeping can derail weight loss, so the woman who has done this before thinks I could probably take it, since so little sugar, and would be better off sleeping. So, I may do that and see what happens. Oooooo stomach growl!!
Losing weight every day certainly is encouraging, but I know it is mostly water right now. Not discouraged at all about that. The true test will be putting on my jeans on Friday and seeing how they fit. That will be cool. I ASSUME they will be looser.
Boss had surprise lunch for the senior managers today. I had my lunch with me, but had to improvise. We went to Buffalo Wild Wings, which has a lot of chicken. The server was AMAZING working with me. I ordered a small naked chicken breast, grilled, no oil, no seasoning (since I don't know what is in it) but they don't have broccoli or other vegetables except for salad but I can't have dressing. So I ordered celery. (Can't even eat the carrots she brought me.. but how sweet of her) I have never thought celery was for human consumption (although I did buy some the other day, knowing I'd eat it) but it was sweet and crunchy. Delicious. I ate them and a portion of the chicken that looked the right size since I couldn't measure it. My co-workers are very supportive... obviously I can't hide what I'm doing, nor do I want to. I'm being bold and out there, believing this is the only thing for me at this time.
Overall, I am pleased with the grace God is giving me and helping me to be successful. I have a LOOOOOOONG way to go and know it could be a rough journey, but I take each victory as it comes.
Kevin is very supportive too, and knows that I can cook for both of us at times, but at other times I can't. He is pretty self sufficient. Well, off to complete the rest of my day.... BRING ON THE ENERGY, I'm pooped!!!
