Day 3-5DPT
Good morning all! How are we doing so far?
I am doing great! I resisted chocolate cake & a Panera's Luncheon at work yesterday. I am so proud of myself!
I am feeling suprisingly well. Honestly, I thought I would have broke down by now and cheated. A few times I wanted to. But bless my sweet Johnny
, he has been lovingly on my arse to stick to it. He knows how to keep me on track, and I really need that. He has even eaten soup for dinner the last 2 nights and will be eating Cod for dinner tonight. He doesn't want to eat anything in front of me that I can't have. He's so sweet!
So today I will be enjoying eggs and tuna during the day, and Cod for dinner. Yummy!
How's everyone else feeling?

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!
Good Morning!
I'm feeling great, actually better than I feel when I eat food. I have egg bites already made so I can just heat and eat. I also have some left over cream soup. We are still supposed to drink the protein shakes, right? I hope so. I am so addicted to them now. I use 5 oz milk, 5 oz water, 1 TBSP Kahlua sf syrup, 1 scoop of click and 1/2 scoop of Choc protein...OMG, it is so damn good. Better than any frozen/cold mocha coffee drink I EVER had. I just finished my morning cup of coffee and am about to make a shake. I feel so much better. Did anyone weigh themselves yet? I didn't. It's the TOM and I'll wait until the end of the week before I hop on the scale. My hubby keeps trying to get me to eat because he thinks I'm too skinny. You can count my ribs just by looking at me...lol. I told him it's about good habits NOT losing weight.
Good luck everyone!

I weighed this morning. I have OCD about the scale and weigh myself about 3-4 times per day. I know I have a problem!
I had/have no expectations about losing weight doing this etiher. I just wanted to get the breads/pastas and other carbs out of my head, and knew I needed to do something structured to do it. I don't feel nearly as bloated. I just feel "lighter" if that makes any sense.

Hey Everyone,
Yes, like all of you, this is going remarkably well for me. I haven't gotten weighted which is weird for me because I also usually get weighed a couple times a day, but my days have been so crazy.
I am always surprised how easy this is - how easy it is to resist "cheating" when I am doing this - again, I feel like I want to do this everyday (but I know that wouldn't last) At some level this is very empowering for me - I just don't get it ????
Have a great day
Lou

I'm doing great too! Yes very easy after the initial fear of OMG how am I going to do this. I feel refreshed and focused again. not sure if my pouch feels any "tighter' yet.
Thus far I have had 2 eggs (fried) 3 oz of tuna and a coffee. I am VERY ready for lunch and will have to run to WaWa to pick up something since I forgot to bring anything to work. Most likely more eggs (hard boiled)
I feel lighter and have lost 2 lbs, though as you guys siad it's not the goal here. I think the 2lbs was all bloat from the nasty little carb habit i was allowing to take control of my pouch.
Tonigt will be scallops on the grill with lemon. nom nom nom

ick!
why is fodding tasting like crap to me all of a sudden? For lunch I tried....a hard boiled egg ick, then I tried some cottage cheese and it tasted sour...so then I moved on to some shrip..I had 2 of them and they just didn't taste good.
WTF!
On another note, I feel full, even though it's full of icky stuff I didn't enjoy.
Anyone else a "drinker" while they eat? That was one of my biggest cardinal sins and I've thus far refrained from it during the 5DPT and i feel so thirsty, but I think it is helping me to feel full by not washing the food down.
OK now I'm dreaming of my scallops and lemon.
