Day 3 - Yes!
« on: August 28, 2013, 02:45:00 PM »
It's been a LONG time since I've had 3 straight low-carb days, but for some reason (I guess I'm really ready), it is working!  Of course it always worked before ... it was just my mind that did a number on me.  Feeling very good - taking magnesium & probiotics and I have not had the common problem among many on low carb (constipation) so far, so that's very encouraging.  That's one thing that would sometimes lead me astray.

Getting my new and improved FTS book today - yea!

I am even going to a wedding shower at lunch today, but I canceled the Gardenburger that I ordered and will absolutely, positively not partake of the cake!  I'm taking my water and a piece of string cheese to get me through the event.   Previously (the past few weeks anyway), I have been unable to avoid the goodies at work, so this is a positive step back in the right direction.

Glad to see you are well on your way :) What would be wrong with eating a burger? Bring a low carb tortilla with you tucked into your purse  ;)

Good job, Gail!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Resisting those carb urges during sugar detox is very challenging.
But you've proved you CAN do it! :) :) :)

Once you get past detox, you will find it much easier to avoid eating high carb junk.

It IS getting easier.  I just had to sneak a peak on the scale and I've lost 5 lbs in 5 days!  Yee haw!!!

I am so impressed with your daughter's GPA at UT - sure beat mine.  Now had it not been for those first two years, it would have looked wonderful, but I became a mini-wild child - away from my small town home for the first time and having fun, plus the fact that the first two years are primarily multiple choice/true false exams, which I do horribly on! Congratulations to her!

Everyone have a wonderful weekend!
