I had intentions of writing every day and chronicling my journey but just haven't had the time. The kids are climbing all over me like monkeys. It's all I can muster to update my Facebook and play Words With Friends!
I'm so ecstatic about the past 4 days. I am so excited about the results I'm having already and want to shout it from the rooftops and recruit everyone I love and even like a little. I'm not gonna lie.... my main motivation is and was weight loss. The energy and better sleep is an added bonus I didn't count on.
Here is a recap of the past 4 days. My starting weights, snacks, etc. I want to remember exactly what I did and also share it with you, too, in case you are feeling a little overwhelmed like I was and not sure of where to start.
Day 1- 149.6 I gained some of what I lost from bingeing knowing that I was going into this.
Started off the day with a shot of the Ionic Supreme and after a little taste, know why my friend Kate suggested doing it like a shot with a glass of water chaser. Very strong and potent! There's something about starting the day with a shot of healthy goodness that I like and this stuff gave me a better buzz than coffee ever could.
In addition to the required shake day items, I consumed an extra 1/2 a shake in the morning and 1/2 in the evening. I was freakin starving. Got caught at a Ralph Lauren audition for an extra 90 minutes so ate lunch 2 hours late. BAD CHOICE. We were all starving so I ended up with a grilled chicken sandwich with no mayo from McDonald's followed by a bean and veggie soup from Trader Joe's that I made yesterday. Since I was really hungry, I tried one of the wafers in the bottle labeled "Isagenix Snacks!" These wafers are kinda gross. I had a hard boiled egg for a snack and took my babies to swim class. So basically, not much exercise. Went to bed feeling hungry.
Day 2- Woke up not hungry at all. Weird. 148.2
Hungry again during the day so added 1/2 a shake in the morning and evening again. Had 1 hard boiled egg with both snacks and some celery with the afternoon egg. For lunch I put a ton of spinach, bell peppers and asparagus in 2 whole eggs, egg whites and BreakFree egg substitute with some shredded cheese (all organic.) Had some black bean and corn salsa on the side and 2 tbsp. of hummus. Felt full but was hungry again soon. Think a lot of it is in my head. Had an Isagenix Snacks! wafer. It wasn't as bad a I remembered it. Need to change my lunch to more filling food and I don't know if I was in the 400-600 calorie range I need to be in for this meal.
Day 3- 147.2 Woke up around 4am with sick baby. Felt a little hungry but fell back to sleep with visions of fat melting away. Didn't have any extra shake today and my lunch was so good and kept me satisfied. I had salad with Galeo's dressing, tomato, organic sirloin steak and a huge, delicious sweet potato. YUM. hard boiled eggs again for snacks. Had so much energy that I cleaned my house, organized my clothes and my bathroom. I've been putting the organizing off for sooooo long. Months and months. Amazed at this energy considering sick child and little sleep.
Day 4- 146.6
I haven't seen 146 since the beginning of my second trimester with E. Now I'm paranoid I will be stuck here for weeks. We'll see how the next few days play out. Much less hungry today and woke up thinking that everything seems so clear. Usually when I wake up I feel "foggy." The fact that my house is much more organized also really makes me feel more together.
My fave hardboiled eggs for snack in the morning and afternoon and some apple slices. Lunch was amazing! My mother in law's spicy salmon and a bowl of this amazing Moroccan lentil soup she made and a salad with some tomato and Galeo's Miso Caesar dressing. Can't forget the big ol sweet potato either. I need this every day. So good! Yesterday and today I did have a little headache immediately after lunch that lasted for about 45 minutes. Not too bad, but there. Just drank a bunch of water and it faded.
I ate my snack late since I wasn't hungry and didn't notice the time. A drank some of my dinner shake. It tastes amazing to me now, where as it was just okay at first. Also had one of those Snacks! wafers. It actually tasted..... good. After only 4 days are my taste buds already forgetting what real chocolatey goodness tastes like?
I hope to post every day with more details about how I'm feeling. Journaling is a huge part of success and I also want to remember what I did exactly when I am down to 127 (or maybe even less!), looking back at my journey. For now I will go to bed at night with prayers for my kiddos and people I love; then I will fantasize about being able to share clothes with skinny friends again and wearing really cute jeans that show my butt!
