Im In ketosis!!
Day 5 DONE!!
Wow i'm so suprised that I have made it to day 5 already!! it's gone so fast and it already feels like i've adjusted to the plan. I have had no cravings these last few days and today i have felt full throughout the day. Im In ketosis!.
I checked this morning and got a pink reading within seconds....
Last night it was really hard to sleep my arms started to ache more especially my right arm. It really felt like I had been lifting weights. It was quite a scary feeling, and it was stopping me from sleeping. I was feeling quite dizzy and tired towards the end of the night and I all of a sudden felt exhausted.
It felt like my body was shrinking i thought it may be down to de-hydration but iv made sure iv'e had at least 2l of fluids a day. But my body is already used to this amount so I need to drink more now. The shrinking sensation was weird it felt like I could feel the fat melting off. Sounds really horrible but I'm sure this is what was happening and would explain how I was deffinetly in ketosis today. To ease the pain i took an ibuprofen.
Either way I woke up feeling great!
For breakfast I had; Caramel shake - This is the first shake i didnt enjoy what so ever. It tasted ''ok'' but I did make it half asleep and left in some lumps oops!
lunch I had the chilli con carne - This is by far the the nicest meal iv'e had on this plan. Everytime I make this, I always think Oh il have a potato with this. Then quickly realise that im following a plan. haha
Dinner was my protein and salad allowance. 2 eggs and a combination of the salads alowed
By this time I was really full and the idea of having my 3 sns pack wasn't appealing to me. So this time I opted for a bar. Id only had 1 of these before. Iv'e avoided going for the bars because the size of them puts me off and I instantly feel like Im depriving myself of food. But as I was feeling quite full today I decided a bar would be a better option. I decided to have the lemon and white choc flavour. AND OMG!! It was scrumpcious!!
Today I have felt so much better than previous days on plan. I feel like iv'e come back down to earth a little. On previous days it has felt like I have been floating around a little which I assumed was linked to the light headedness
But iv'e felt iv'e been able to think clearly and do thinks a bit more productivly today. My energy levels have risen, but not in the way I had imagined, Iv just been able to do things without getting mentally and physically tired so quickly which is great!
My fitness dvd arrived today, jillian michels 30 day shred. I had read on this forum that alot of people on vlcds were using this to tone up. For now i don't think I will be starting any proper excersises as I feel my body has gone through quite a challenge this week. As the days progress I will re-evaluate the situation and if I feel that I am not putting myself through any strain I am going to start this regime and start toning up.
I still can't believe day 5 has passed and Iv'e not caved. The idea of a vlcd seemed so hard but i made the concious decision that being overweight was so much harder. Im putting in more effort staying this heavy and having to work harder on simple tasks then having to make a few meals out of a plastic packer and be done with it. Simples!!
Overall been the best day by far productivly, mentally and physically.
Hope day 6 will be just as good
