Work up around 1pm today. Immediately took my SWF. I actually downed it faster today. I read somewhere that you should down the flush within 10-15 mins of it being made. So I did it in about 15 mins. After that my stomach churned and nothing. LOL About 3 hrs later I had a bowel movement. It was normal. No gushy wet stuff like they talk about on other blogs. But I guess I have to get all the solids out 1st. I am on my 4th glass of lemonade. I found if I put the lemonade in a 24oz Gatorade bottle I drink it faster. 24oz = 3- 8oz glasses of lemonade. So it makes it not as tedious. I drink it faster. I find that 6 long gulps take about 1/3 of liquid in the bottle away.  I am thinking of adding another glass of tea to my diet. But I am not sure. I am just impatient. I measured my waist today so now I will know if and when I begin to lose weight.

My SO said he will teach me some exercises you can do sitting down tonight. I can’t wait. I really want to exercise for at least 30 mins. But it is so hard with only 1 ankle. I think if I don’t die of starvation ( not too bad yet) that I may do it a few more days since I am off to rough start. But I have to be finished by the 19th. So maybe I will do this from June 3 – 16th. That is 13 days then 3 days to wean off. So 16 days. If I lose a 1lb a day I will be happy. That would bring me down to a substainable range.

My family is having a cookout today, but I am not going. Mounds of food for miles to see is not a good thing when you are on a no food diet. I am going to miss it. I love going over there for fireworks and eating. But do you know what I love more? Losing weight and reclaiming the self-image that I once had. So oh well. See you all at the Memorial Day cookout!

Will post more later.

Why am I not hungry? I mean this is supposed to be hard. I have heard that day 3 is the hardest.  I had my SO carry up the stairs and give me a bath.  I also had a bowel movement. It was watery with a few clumps today. I know people are like damn she is fascinated with her boo boo. But it is this part that tells you if you are detoxing or not. I am still peeing my ass off. So far today has been better. 2 bowel movements and I still have clear  urine. So I am happy. I weighed myself. It stays the same. I am really not sure how much I weigh. With the cast on and me kind of trying to balance myself on a scale, I think it probably puts at least 10lbs on me.  I know using the scale on the carpet added 40lbs to me. So I bet me hopping on 1 foot, pressing all my weight into my 1 good foot, and holding onto the wall  didn’t give me an accurate result.

So I am still not hungry. I am drinking lots of water. I want some baked chicken thighs because it sounds like a good idea. Other than that it is smooth sailing.

11:17pm

So I am still sitting here. I am a little hungrier now than before. I am trying to go down to 6 glasses of lemonade instead of 9. Maybe alternate so that my body gets varying degrees of calorie deficiencies. 6 glasses today, 8 glasses tomorrow, 7 glasses on Monday, you get the point. I still want some chicken thighs. I am still smoking. But not that much. I am trying to wean myself off, but it is not easy. I mean trying to kick food and cigs in 1 day. Wow talk about a task of titanic proportions. But I am about to finish off my 6 glasses. Drink another glass of tea. That makes 2 glasses of tea today.

See you tomorrow
