So I'm five days into my three months on Optifast. I'm not going to lie, it's been hard, but I I'm surviving.
I have cheated a little, with a bite of lamb and a piece of chicken, along with a small ice cappuccino form Tim Hortons. I felt pretty horrible afterwards, both physically and mentally. Control has always been my problem and apparently I still need some help with it. I must be doing something right since I was 15 lb as of last week, and i'm hoping to be down another 5 this week.
I've been having my four shakes at 4 hour intervals, 8am-12noon-4pm-8pm. So far it's been working. I've mixed most shakes with approximately 14oz of water, and my last shake of the evening I tend to mix a little thicker, making it resemble chocolate pudding.
I've kept up my walking, the optifast doesn't seem to affect my energy levels, but I have been sleeping for about an extra hour. I normally sleep form 11pm - 7am, but lately I've been heading to bed around 9pm and reading my book for a little while before going to sleep around 10.
I'm very anxious to see what my loss is this week...hoping for another 5-6lb loss, finally securing myself a spot in the 250 range. I'm getting very close to my first goal of getting under 250...so close. I can't believe that next summer I'll finally get to zipline!!
I feel like I'm in prison and my time is almost done...the ability to do so many things is like getting my freedom! Bring it!
