Groundhog Day
With reference to the Bill Murray movie - where he wakes up & its the same day over & over again.
I have decided to repeat days 1 & 2 of the 5dpt yet AGAIN.
Am i 
??!! I must be.
I feel very tired today. coworkers are telling me that i "look" tired. Im sluggish & i feel like im suffering. I really want to go to sleep - but im at the office & for some strange reason, they kinda frown on that here (lol). Besides, when I DO try to go to sleep - I CANT 
Im pretty quiet - which, is pretty unusual (yes i know its difficult to believe) 
.
Walking around like one of the living dead when i usually have a pretty sunny dispo. (aka, being pretty "chipper").
Im finding it hard to keep up w/ posts here on the board (im just slow today) & need to get some work done truthfully LOL (yet i am totally preoccupied w/ this 5dpt, getting support fromt he board & giving support/advice/what ever to those who need it).
i KNOW im b/c even though im "suffering" from a loss of WHAT TO EAT - WHATS OK & WHAT NOT - OMG I WANT SOUR DOUGH - im actually considering turning this 5DPT into a 5WPT 
b/c i am so intent on losing this weight & i want to get this RIGHT!
i seriously WANT to drop 30lbs in 30days like i did right after surg. & im determined to make that happen.
thus far - im down 10lbs since monday, but ive only lost 1 lbs from yesterday (which i have to say was demotivating & disappointing this morning).
**please note - i am not advocating or recommending this 5WPT for anyone else. In no way am i making a challenge or setting the bar. i am simply expressing my thoughts & plan. so pls dont slam me for it**
This link to the "Susan Maria's Basic Bariatric Eating Plan, Plus Debby's Core Vitamin Schedule" is very interesting & im finding it very helpful http://www.beforeandafterhelp.com/index.php?showtopic=33947
So are the recommendations on WHICH protein powders to use (i love the premixed IsoPures, but they have gotten to be really rather expensive at GNC - so its more economical to buy the huge jug of powder) b/c I honestly have NO CLUE
which ones to get (its funny, i was thinking about asking that of the board this morning - SEE!! No question is a stupid question!! ).
I guess i am really beating myself up for crashing so hard yesterday afterwork/before dinner & have a need to make that right.

The Will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you. 
this is NOT a plan to lose weight....this is a plan to re-gain control and cut carb cravings. it sounds to me like you are not getting enough protein. protein WILL give you energy..i was flying around..zipping around the office 1/2 way through day 2 and on day 3..look out! ...also, if you are a caffeine drinker and have cut the caffeine down too fast it will make you feel sluggish and tired.
you probably need to write everything down that you are drinking and read it back to yourself ..are you drinking enough? ..dehydration will cause fatigue. this is why i posted my earlier post..."concerned for the 5DPT'ers" earlier.
you can do anything you put your mind to. be honest with yourself and decide if you want to do this or not...
YOU CAN DO THIS. keep your head up -hugs
Thanks Denise. 
lol I think it was Leslee who was talking about being obsessed yesterday... ya... thats me too
i dont want to set myself up to fail, i dont wanna push myself too too hard, i dont want to binge & revert, (there was 1 more thing that i didnt want to do, but cant recall what it is right now) - but i want mooorreee & better results.<

Candace,
Welcome to, "Obsessive Compulsives Anonymous". LOL I'm the President. We have T-Shirts. LMAO! Seriously though, you sound just like me...when you wrap your head around something you can't shake it loose. Please slow down and eat some protein. You'll get your sunny disposition back in no time.

Candace,
I HAD to eat today! Well, we had live in Maryland where crabs are really something special to eat. They are steamed and you 'pick' them. Yum, they are good. We sat down a had a great time with a couple dozen this evening. Even went out on a boat and jet skis. You know a couple of years ago I think I would have skipped the boating and stayed at the crab table a few more hours. I had a great day. Thankful for RYN. I really am.
Wellp - Im home, during that after work/before dinner time, at the end of another Groundhog Day.
This is my 4th day on the day 1 & 2 of the 5dpt (yes, i realize im - but i really want to get this carb addiction out of my system so i can proceed).
carb monster
I came home today - did some things around the house & before i knew it, it was 7:30pm. OK - i guess i can have dinner now (i usually eat about an hour later), so i pull out the PR beans i whipped up yesterday & dumped them in a blender. 16oz. worth topped w/ 1/8c of cheddar cheese was AWESOME!!!! I figured i was done beating myself up for yesterdays mistakes - they werent that bad & i figured the pureed bean drink soup (basically) is OK & IM OK w/ that.
i tend to eat much later to AVOID the later evening "snacking" - that & i usually work 10 hours a day & dinner just isnt ready b4 8:30pm anyway.
I must have had maybe 2 peanuts today & im thinking thats not bad either. its less than what i had yesterday - but i did it (or didnt do it as it were).
I was sure to keep chugging the protein (1/2 c. of powder in pumpkin shake, mixed in w/ watered down light BB yogurt & strained & watered down clam chowder). 1 1/2 cups of protein powder + whatever protein was in the yogurt, pumpkin & chowder has got to = at least 100grms of protein . I managed to choke down about 100oz of liquids (hot tea & water) + coffee & Jello. 2 multi vits & 1000mcgs of B12 & i was still cold & tired all day!
Im not as cold anymore & have more energy (ironically, now that im home).
All in all - I think i had a pretty good day & I feel good about that :)
