Difficult Me!

Well friends, here we are: Day 3.  Oh man, is it as bad as I've been told!! I've been told/warned that day 3 is going to be hard, I am going to be exhausted, everything I am changing in my body is finally kicking in and my body isn't going to know how to react except to want to sleep.  Since I felt sooooo amazing yesterday and the day before, I thought, "well, that just won't happen to me, I'm going to be the exception"  HAH! Yah right!! Here I am, DRAINED!! If I could go to bed and sleep for the next 12 hours, I happily would.  Even though I went to bed and slept for 10 hours last night, then woke up for a bit.  And back to bed I went for a 2 hour nap! Oh my goodness!! It is going to be the longest night EVER! (Ps. Those of you who aren't aware, I work graveyard.  6pm-8am) 

That's all I have to say negatively though! :) Which makes me feel very great!! I may be utterly exhausted.  I may be unable to say a fully sentence without yawning.  But, I am not hungry, nor am I wishing I could have a big bowl of pasta, or some pizza.  Nope! I am perfectly happy with my MM and my L&G that I packed.  

Now, some of you may know that I have been super worried about how I was going to eat 6 times 2-3 hours apart.  Do the math, that's being awake for 12-18 hours.  I unfortunately have days where I am awake A LOT longer than that!! Tonight is one of those nights/days.  I have brought with me, along with my regular 5 MM's and one L&G,  a snack, 3 celery sticks w/one wedge of Laughing Cow light cheese (LOVE LOVE LOVE THOSE!!!), and an additional 1 oz of ground turkey to add to my Chili MM. 

I wrote to Nutrition Support and they told me to not eat more than 5 MM in 24 hours.  If I needed to, I could add an ounce to two of additional lean to one of my MM.  :) I've also heard from a few people on the FB Medifast page, and their responses have helped me as well.  Now don't get me wrong, Cathy has also been very helpful.  But unfortunately, she has never had a case like mine.  ;) Typical me, just gotta be difficult!! :) 

After talking to my coach, Cathy, today I learned a couple things.  One, I need to be or should be keeping a journal.  To keep track of my sleep, what I'm eating, when I'm eating, how much water I'm drinking and especially how I'm feeling.  So, to add my "to buy" list goes a journal.  Included in the "eating" section is not only my meals, but also any gum or mints.  You'd be surprised at the amount of sugars and carbs that can totally add up.  Thankfully, not a big gum/mint fan.  :) 

Thankfully I do have a lot of motivation and support through this journey.  I have Chris, who is my rock and I am so very thankful to/for him.  I also have my Mom!!! (For those of you who don't know me, we're super close) I have Cathy, and my many friends.  I also have a new support, all of you who are reading this, and keep telling me that you are following me and so excited to go along with me.  It shocks me every time I get online and see that I have another 80+ views!! 

So Thank You!!! You are making me be accountable!!! :) Have an amazing day/night!!!
