Day 4 IP Diet
So today was my first day at work on the IP diet...ok, Friday was but honestly today was the first real day. I was armed with what I needed to succeed.
But just to recap, Friday was day 1. Ate carrots but otherwise followed the diet.
Saturday was Day 2 (cheated)
Gained 1lb.
Sunday was Day 3. Followed 100%
Lost 3lbs
Monday, today, Day 4. Followed 100%
Last night's dinner was a success. We had 8oz beef tenderloins, broccoli and mashed cauliflower. Yum!! I was STUFFED! When I stepped on the scale things morning I repeated to myself "please don't be more than Sunday morning, please don't be more than Sunday morning!" and it was 3lbs less.
Now, my coach says I shouldn't weigh myself every morning and that I should use his scale as a measurement of success but really? Yea. OK. How about I follow the diet and all of your advice EXCEPT for that? Because I like to see that the nausea and panic attack I had in the morning was totally worth it. I want to see that I adjusting to this and my diet is doing what it is supposed to be doing and quite honestly, i want to see that I'm losing weight!!!! DUH.
My only issue so far is that I feel really sick in the morning. So I checked in with C. and K. and they gave me some advice on how to handle the drops in blood sugar in the morning until my body get used to itself again. So my goal for tomorrow is to have a shake before I go to work and then, if I feel light headed I will have 1/2 of a bar in the morning and half later in the day if I feel weak again. I will have an IP pack at lunch and a snack after dinner.
I guess there is a second and third issue. I feel my panic attacks coming back. As I was eating I started to feel overwhelmed by the fact that I still had to pack everything for tomorrow for the baby and for me...that I still had to eat a snack at night and so I had to take a pill to handle that because it was making me stressed out.
The third issue...well, I'm peeing, A LOT. I used to go once in the morning, go to work, drink 32oz or more of water plus whatever else I was drinking and maybe MAYBE pee one more time before leaving work.
Yea, I went 7 times, not counting first thing this morning!!
Tonight's dinner was chicken stir fry with peppers, onions, broccoli and cauliflower. I happen to like broccoli and cauliflower so I will probably eat it until I hate it. And if I can't have carrots I have to have something I really love!
So, I have everything ready for tomorrow and I'm relaxing on the couch. The baby is sleeping and we have a few hours ahead of us to just relax tonight. Maybe it's the meds or maybe things just worked out.
Either way, I'm feeling pretty good about this diet. The truth will be told on Thursday...weigh in!
