IGIOTTHIS!!! from 20 to 10

[igotthis]

heya guys!!! today is day 3 of this wonderful jounery that i am on. Moving back to a fit and healthy me. 2010 was a very hard year for me with some very serious health issues... nonetheless i am still here and very happy to be soo. Recovery has been taking much longer than i thought it would. I guess i had to accept that i wasnt 28 but 38 and i should couldnt just run out of my hospital bed and back to work ..like an idiot..lol!!! anyway i have done a lot of work along the way and given up a lot of thing that were not helping me get back to my best..
1. coffee - quit :happy096:
2. ciggs - quit :happy096:
3. toxic relationships - quit :happy096:
4 . stressful job - quit :happy096:


so now that leaves me with this year challenges ....

5. kick sugar - in progress
6. lose this weight - in progress

from my experience with my other success ...i know that getting your mind in the right pace is vital and also for me having people who i can have as support around me.

So many of you are such inspirations for me and it seems for everyone else on the pages...

i know that people always say that but thank you for being brave enough to put your self out there when it was hardest to do so. thank you so much!!

i am commited to this. Thank you to all of you for your encouragement so far!!!

You have made so many successful life changes so far so I know you will be able to accomplish this one as well.

You go girl, what a positive start! Sounds like you're really in the zone for sorting out your last few pieces of the puzzle. Keep with it, we'll be following all the way.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! had written out a fab entry for today but it somehow has vanished....sigh any way here we go again...day 3
+'s havent eating and real food
have been drinking more water
am not tempted to at real food
-i didnt stick to the 600 calorie limit... i had 3 extra bars

so that was day 3

i want to know is there anything else that i can have during the day to help me with this...

okay day 4 has gone pretty well...i have had my food for today and already had 2 a bit of water ...

is there anything else that i can have as well that wont cause problems...

 

[JoanneM]

3 extra bars isnt good. The bars have more carbs in them than the shakes so it really isnt recommended to have more than one a day. If you have to have something you would be better off having some chicken or tuna or the like which will at least not affect your ketosis.

 

[igotthis]

hey Jo,

Thanks for the advice...i thought it was all the same but it is only day 4 so i am still learning. would it be better to just stick to the shakes and soups ...???

 

[SummerRain]

On Total solution (TS) its 3 packs a day or 2 packs and a bar. Like Joanne explained the bars are higher carb so will affect your ketosis if you have more then one

Exante do other plans where you can add a meal AS WELL as your packs, working and simple solution. There is more info on the website.

Hope this helps

[JoanneM]

Its Marigold bouillion which is basically vegetable stock. Just put a spoonful in a cup and add boiling water.
