I survived the first week of Optifast!
Day 5 - Much better! Took the kids out mini golfing, and brought a shake with me. Felt good.
Day 6 - Feeling great! I feel so good, I wonder just how carb sensitive I am, seeing I feel so good off of carbs. I also wonder how many calories I need, because I'm doing great on 800, and I know I was eating many, many more calories a day before this.
I actually missed a shake, so I doubled up in the evening. I had a strawberry chocolate shake, and it was delicious!
Day 7 - Worked. I was very calm today. Calmer than I have been. Is it the lack of carbs? The weight loss? The ketosis? I'm not sure, but I like it.
Day 8 - Today - weigh in made me happy. I expect a very small loss next week, but I decent one the week after that. There is a woman in my group that lost 24 lbs in 4 wks. I wouldn't even know what to do with myself with that type of a weight loss! I find myself excited to see the weight come off, and just be a smaller person.
I'm so proud of myself today - it's my birthday and my husband still bought a cake for he and the kids to enjoy. I didn't have any. Not a single. solitary. crumb. :-)
This week, towards the end of the week, I'm going to start exercising. No more than 30 minutes on the treadmill.
Yay!
