WHATS HAPPENING TUESDAY
Well I didn’t have any trouble sticking with the 5 day pouch test yesterday as I slept most of the day would be awake just long enough when Joe would bring me water or protein drink to get that down and back asleep I would be….don’t know what is wrong, I NEVER sleep like this EVER. And I don’t feel sick, just sleepy. I would wake up and think well now im awake and with in about 30 minutes I was back asleep or going there . I never just sleep even when im really sick. I have to take cold meds that knock me out to do it. I know I am sore as a boil from laying in bed for about 36 hours. Now here it is 5am on Tuesday morning, I have no idea what happened to Monday. Lol
I hope this second day of the pouch test goes as well …but will hang in there since tomorrow we can add a little food.
JO:::: yes I am very proud of you for not eating the baked potato…good girl , don’t need those carbs .
That sun yesterday was great and we are suppose to get more today. Good luck with your modified pouch test. Lol .
JEANIE RAE:::: I cant wait to hear what Dr. Edwards has to say. Im excited for you too.
And so glad that hopefully the snow is getting off of your road…
ADDYSMOM::: good to see you here and hope you come back often. Glad you had a great first day to your pouch test. A lot of people do lose a few pounds from the test but most of all what it is doing is reseting your pouch to feel like it did at first and to get rid of the nasty carbs. Sounds like you are on your way….and good luck.
BEC::::: did I read that right you shopped all day after getting your teeth pulled ? And then was going to exercise too? What are you superwoman?
Did you hear that Wal mart is going to close down several of their sams clubs? Just heard part of it in my sleep I think , so not sure exactly what I heard. Lol
I know you have a iron clad will about doing things so I know you will succeed at the pouch test but good luck to you any way. You will do great.
Well I got up and thought I was awake after all of my sleeping but guess not. Im about to fall asleep typing this so if it doesn’t make sence just ignore me ok…love you all.

Did a truck run over me... no that dentist's pliers sure did though... yes Mimi... I did do all that yesterday and boy am I feeling it this morning but am a glutton for punishment as I'm off today for a day trip to look and test drive some various gators... have to get ready for the summer planting season you know...~tee hee Paul and I are going to walk on the Katy Trail at Rochport today if we get there.
Maybe I will not notice the second day of liquids if I'm gone all day again? Can only hope.
I didn't know that about Sam's but I'm not surprised... I did notice yesterday that they had cut there vit's selection WAY back in the one I was in. Just makes me so mad that when I find products that are more reasonable in price or I like something changes! And I'm really upset that ON changed there protein powder and you can't mix it in hot liquid any more it just clumps up to undrinkable! It's texture is NOT the same either. Just too bad as I liked the caramel hot choc, chi tea and cappuccino I mixed up. The label says the same thing but there is definitely something different about it! It seems like to me like when they cheapened up the laundry soap I used to use and after that it would not dissolve as good.
Gee willikers I feel like I just had a big ole gripe session blowing steam
... sorry about that 
now I'm going to get on to other more positive thoughts... 
Jo ~ congrats on not eating the potato I know I would of wanted it!
Addysmom ~ hope you had a successful day and are able to keep right on going and even if you didn't... today is a new day! A new chance to try again!
Mimi ~ so sorry you are not feeling well
I sure hope you get better real quick.Jeanie Rea ~ I too am getting excited for you! You will be just in wonder at how your life will change! It's wonderful!
Pooh ~ if you started the test with us I hope you had a good successful day and even feel a bit better or "lighter" without all those bad ole carbs! ~ha If not lighter in body lighter in spirits anyway?
Well Paul is wanting to get on here
and look at some gators so better get busy and exercise
before we go...Have a good day all... it's foggy here this morning but much warmer.
Blessings to all,
Bec
For those doing the 5 day pouch test, if you experience some hunger, try having a cup of hot green tea or hot earl grey english tea, those tea's have some anti-oxidents in them that actually curb our appetites, it works for me at least. I'll have a cup mid morning and mid afternoon. I usually put a couple tsp of cream or milk and a tsp of splenda. I did the pouch test last week and it helped me get through the first two days, when I do it though I do liquids for 3 days, that really helps me de-carb my body better cuz im a carb addict. If there was an AA group for carbs I'd prolly be the first there. "Hi my name is Andy, Im a carb addict" LoL
Another key to the 5 day pouch test is increase your activity, try some walking or some sort of excersise if thats not a normal part of your routine, it will speed up your metabolism and help with the hunger a bit.
Hope some of that info helps.
Y'all have a great day!

Maybe I should go ahead and do another day of liquids too I do not feel yet like I have "suffered" near enough yet ~tee hee I guess these crazy teeth are wearing on me and I've not been all that hungry...
I got some shrimp today and am going to make some scallops and just baked fish too when I get off the liquids... then I will have some chicken and pork loin, going to make some jerky too I have stocked up on lots and lots of meat for the next three months... going to try and just do meat and a bit of vegetables and then do my shake each day too. We will see how that goes... after nothing but liquids the meat is pretty darn good. I'm going to try and stay away from the cheese as I get into trouble with that.
Don't know if I can increase my activity as I'm doing quite a bit now...
I will try the green tea this evening and see how it works...thanks for the tips I know they will be a big help!

Hmmmm, that made me think of something. I use the chocolate protein powder to make my hot cocoa because I like the double chocolate taste, when I use the vanilla I have noticed that the vanilla in the Body Fortress doesnt mix as well as the chocolate plus when I use vanilla powder it tends to foam up and cook over in the microwave, I'm gonna do some investigating and find out why that happens, cuz it dont happen with the chocolate powder. I'll let ya know if I find out what's going on.

Haven't heard about Sam's Clubs closing. I have a membership at Costco. The Sam's closest to me is in a location that's difficult to get to due to high traffic.
What is a gator? I know Paul's not looking at alligators.

Jo here is a pic of a gator...I would love to have one of these but boyee are they expensive! Paul keeps looking in hopes that he will find one at a real good price... it happens but you have to look and look and look it seems.
About the tooth... I did have a pity party but it was while I was on the move! ~tee hee
What I do with the hot choc is use one scoop of protein powder and mix it with just enough of hot tap water to get it mixed in my shaker bottle or you can use a whisk too... then heat a cup of skim milk in the micro to just before boiling and mix them together add some Divinci Sugar Free Caramel Syrup to taste and enjoy...it provides 31 grams of protein and is very yummy... I use the 25 calorie hot chocolate mix. This process was working great up until this last jug of ON Whey and now is gritty and does not mix well at all... I will try Andy's suggestion now and see if that works...sure hope it does.
I'm so proud of you for going to the gym!
I know you struggle with the exercise and every day that you can make yourself do it is a VICTORY! Hope if you try the hot choc it works for you and you like it...the caramel syrup is what really gives it the yum yum flavor!
