Day 1 of 5DPT was successful!!

Day 1 has passed and I'm proud to say it was a successful day!  All I had were protein drinks, even though the site says you can have creamed soups, etc.  I didn't see the sense of that since they are carb loaded and I'm trying to decarb... I didn't even have my last protein hot chocolate last night.  They say you have as much as you want, but I had my protein coffee for bfast as usual, a double protein shake for lunch and a single protein mocha frozen shake for dinner. 

This morning I've got a slight fuzzy headache.  Not sure if its from the decarbing or my neck is a mess and I need to go to the chiro, since its sitting at my neck. Or I need my caffeine!!  I'm not cutting that out for this diet...   Also, for those of you that don't know, I tend to have a few adult beverages and am thinking this is how my body is getting rid of the toxins.  I really can't wait until the end of this to see how I really feel!!  I've heard people feel great once its over and the carbs are out of their system. Last night I was watching the Sugar Bowl and just got SOOO tired - wonder if that's another side effect?  It was 9:15!! so, I went to bed.  Time will tell!

Lots of liquids yesterday - I was running for the bathroom every hour it seemed.

Yesterday weighed at 137, this morning 133.5!!  I know its water, but its a start!!

 Weight released is weight. I don't care what the source is, it always feels terrific.  Congratulations on a very successful first day!

Good for you Jody!!! 4 to go!!

 OK Jody you can do this ....day two  is the pitts....but once you get through two days it gets a bit easier...it was a wonderful thing for me...reminded me how little we can really eat if we eat the right dense protein sources...anyhow go for it girl...you are an inspiration to many...happy new year.. ..SEAVIEW

He Seaview - I was wondering where you were!  Yes, Day 2 started rough.. but doing better now.  Felt kinda woozy, headache... Got behind on my fluids because I had to go to the Dr.  Took my protein coffee with me, but that's all I had by 3:30... not good.  Catching up now!

Good for you.  I'm not ready for the 5dpt yet but I have determined that I need to go back to weighing and logging.  So I weighed and logged this mornings breakfast and will continue.  I was just being lazy but it is so easy for one ounce of cheese to end up being 2 and the calories and carbs to go haywire.  Thanks for the motivation.

Price - I hear ya!  I quit logging my food a long time ago and know exactly what you mean.  I bought Tom a nice digital scale for Christmas I'll use and will become more diligent in measuring my food.  I probably won't do so well logging, but at least I'll know the portions I'm consuming again.

Way to go Jody - great first day. 

Thanks for the protein drinks you posted yesterday.  I printed them out before and need to get them out and look at them again.  I get in such a rut and do the same thing over and over again.

I have found a great Peppermint Mocha Protein recipe from Nik on the RNY board that I love.  I don't have the Peppermint syrup so I just used a very litle of Peppermint Extract.  Wow, I love the chocolate and peppermint mix.

Good luck on day 2.  You can do this.  Congrats on the 3.5 pounds!!

Linda - what was that recipe?  I love a mocha/peppermint combo. 

I got the recipe from Nik on Bariatric Foode on Facebook and she is on the RNY board.  I had to change a little because I don't have the Syrups.

I brew a cup of coffee.
In a separate cup, mix 1 scoop of chocolate protein(or I have used vanilla) - I use Syntrax,
1 tbls unsweetened cocoa, 1-2 tsp of splenda
Mix dry ingredients
I add about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of Hood calorie countdown milk to make a pudding like consistence then I add about 1/8 - 1/4 tsp of peppermint extract
After this is mixed really well I stir it into my hot coffee stiring constantly. 
Sometimes I top with fat free whip cream
It is really good.
