I spent most of yesterday on the couch. My wonderful husband took care of the kids to let me relax. This diet didn't help me feel any better. All I really wanted was a big bowl of tomato basil soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. Try as I might, I could not trick my brain into thinking the potato soup was as good. I really had to force myself to eat anything. I just didn't have the energy or appetite. Since I am already on a reduced number of calories, I knew I had to make myself eat the shakes.
I am ready to start adding new things into my diet. The monotony of the shakes is starting to get to me. I find myself actually craving the bad foods more. Maybe it is being off from work for the holidays and around people eating all the bad stuff that is making me crave it, I don't know. I just know that I really need to change it up or I am going to go crazy!
It doesn't look like I will break the 200lb mark this week. It kinda bums me out. But I haven't exactly been getting the same amount of exercise in that I did in the last two week period. The holidays have my routine all thrown off. Add to that the weakness from being sick and well, I just didn't have the energy to do much. Next week, when I am back on schedule, I hope to see more weight fly off.
I start my group sessions on January 13. I am looking forward to that. I am hoping to meet some more people in the program and see if they are having the same issues I am.
