I had a great weekend! The weather was nice and I was able to get some plants down in my yard, painted my front door, and almost completed painting trays with pictures of the grands. I was also able to keep my eating healthy, but I did indulge in some chocolates Saturday & Sunday.
It's amazing how much your stomach shrinks after doing this fast, what you think you can eat and what you can actually eat is mind baffling.
I have a friend who had stomach surgery I remember we were talking and she said the most frustrating experience for her, after the surgery, is that she couldn't eat as much any more. I thought that was crazy, I mean, how can you be frustrated for not eating much???? That was several years ago, but over the weekend I understood. I did my fish and salad for lunch and had 2 very thin slices of cranberry oat homemade bread that I had in the freezer. I was stuffed and could barely finish my food. Around 7pm I thought perhaps I could have a small slice of fish and another small salad. After all I didn't have breakfast and I only had that one meal for the day.
I only manged 2 bites of fish, and couldn't get another bite down. I couldn't believe I had to throw everything away. I was so upset with myself.
Sunday, I did bbq chicken & salad for dinner. There was no breakfast or lunch. Why force myself? Now I understand the frustration my friend had gone through. When you're use to eating all your life, it's hard not eating as much.
This morning I weighed in at 166 lbs that's 3 lbs more than Friday. I'm thinking one of the reasons I was having problems with indigestion is because I didn't drink very much water last week, some days I was only getting in 20+ oz. So, my goal is to get down 40+ oz of water or more. It's gonna be a little difficult because it's pretty cool over here, but I will give it my best shot plus I'm going to use slightly less lemon juice.
Oh, well, here's to day 1 hoping my digestive system treats me well.
