Weekend (Day 13 & 14)

The weekend was good.
I had a HUGE challenge on Saturday. We had Dinner Club and this is the 1st and only one thank goodness during my 6 week Detox! My friends are super supportive and have been so wonderful, but you know it isn't everyday that you show up at a Dinner Party to NOT eat or drink. We are quit a bunch of drinkers and so as the group ties one on I sipped on my Crystal Light and remembered what it was like being preggers.
It was hard, hardest thing I have done in a long time, harder than just staying home. I am that girl. I don't tend to take the easy way out. I faced it head on and I was FINE. I didn't die.  I lived to plan another day. YEA for ME!!



p.s. as I am writing this it's 10:01pm Sunday night and my Hubs just got his leftover piece of cheesecake (from last night's DC) drenched it is chocolate syrup and is munching down. GOOD GRIEF! If I can do this living with him- I can do ANYTHING!

Day 12

Feeling better yet nowhere near 100%. I am extreamly leary of drinking my shakes. It's not bad enough that I got this nasty stomach bug but, it better not de-rail my efforts to lose weight! I had just gotton into the swing of things and this struck me!! Not to fear, I am going to be strong. I am. Just because right now ginger-ale and chicken broth taste like a gourmet meal doesn't mean I can't go back to 8oz chalky vanilla shake 4 times a day with a bonus of a 2in bar to lighten the mood.
I think I can, I think I can, I know I can.

Weigh In Day

Today was my 1st weigh in.

I LOST 8 lbs!!

I am so excited.

What a great success!

Even after having the horrific nausea of the past 2 days (the boys had a stomach bug) and having to eat a cup of chicken noodle soup and a ginger-ale in hopes to feel better. I could not stomach the idea of drinking those milky shakes. I  just knew if I was going to get sick I didn't want it to be on them. How could I possibly continue drinking them? Luckly, I never got the bug and am back to drinking my shakes.
Obviously, this plan is working and working well. If you want to see what I am doing go HERE .
Here's to WEEK 2!!
