Day 3

5:48 a.m. - Well Day 2 did not exactly go well. I was hungry and I had a hellacious headache. I was able to resist the urge to eat though because of my commitment to stay on the program. I also think the medication and supplements helped the urge a little. I am due back in today for my second Vitamin B1-B6 shot so maybe that will help boost me over the next couple of days. A little stress in the evening with hubby and daughter fighting and I ended up with a sinus migraine and just kind of vegged for the evening going to bed a little early (for me that is midnight). So far I have not eaten anything because I'm trying to decide if I want to redo my blood work. The clinic tried to draw it on Tuesday and my veins were not cooperating. They even sent me to a lab to have it drawn and still my veins wouldn't give up the blood. So I dread another attempt but I know I have to do it because it is important for them to test my lipids, blood sugar, and thyroid.

2:07 pm - Okay went for shot today...The Vitamin B shot. They told me the headache I had last night was normal. The blood work can wait until I go back to the clinic on Tuesday. I still have this gnawing hunger in my gut but I take 3 pills today and have taken the second.

I am still kind of hungry but I stuck with my 3 oz of Tuna mixed with a little Miracle Whip Free and a pickle spear. I don't think I was supposed to have the pickle spear but damn it how can you just eat 3 ounces of tuna and no pickles. Looking forward to a huge New Years Eve celebration....I get to have 3 ounces of shrimp.....whooo hooo. I may sneak a little of the bubbly, we will see if I'm feeling naughty tonight. Feeling pretty encouraged...I don't feel as bloated and when I put on my jeans this morning, I was a little pleasantly surprised as I didn't have to suck it in as I had the last time I put them on. I think the 2 days off of the carbs and sugar have really helped. Now I know how much they really bloat you up. Miss my "chofee" though (coffee with chocolate Coffee Mate). Way too much sugar. I threw out the container so I'm not tempted. Dietitian tells me I can have sugar-free vanilla flavored liquid Coffee Mate.

Went to the grocery store today and stocked upon shrimp, Purdue individually wrapped breasts, eggs, Miracle Whip Free, Sugar Free Vanilla Coffee Mate liquid creamer, canned tuna fish, and Diet Coke all things I can have this week.
