7 days on Phen and almost 7 pounds GONE!
**POSTED 10 MINUTES AFTER MIDNIGHT SO IT WILL SHOW AS A SATURDAY POST**
Hi y'all! Well today is Friday 3-2-07 and it's my 7th day on Phen and I've lost 6.8 pounds! I'm very happy about that!
I did excellent on not drinking any Diet Cokes this week, and the first thing I did this morning after I tinkled was weigh. After that I logged my weight in on my calendar, got a Phen and a 24 oz. water and I started cleaning my house. I got so much done today and my house is clean as a whistle. I'm very happy. The only thing that bugs me is- I had already lost 5.6 pounds by day 4 on the Phen. So that means it took me 3 days to lose the next 1.2 for a total of 6.8. Maybe I'm just being anal about the numbers. But in any case I think I'm going to start counting calories this next week and see what happens. I don't think I'm getting enough in. Or maybe I'll do the Weight Watchers Point system. I haven't done that in a long while. But whatever I decide to do I'll let you all know.
I'm still having my headache from hell, but it's worth it. Someone asked me in my comments if that is a side effect. Well, I can't speak for everyone but it's always been a side effect that I get each time I've ever used it. I also notice that I clench my teeth together, also I think I sleep with my teeth clenched together. LOL I have no idea why but hey, if the pill is helping me get over a plateau from hell, I'll take the headache and teeth clenching any day.
I'd like to start exercising soon. We have had really nice warm days like 73 degrees and then 2 days later the high will be 37 degrees. I have been looking at roller blades on-line for the last week or two and I can't wait until it warms up enough to justify ordering them. I've got a treadmill but using it is almost like a punishment. I'm going to try to get out of that kind of mindset, but it's hard to for me. Before I had a weight problem I use to stay active on a coed softball team and also play badminton. I'm going to buy a new badminton set soon and I can't wait to play. I hope my son will play with me. My husband has joint issues and my mom has severe back problems so both of them are out of the question.
Everything is going well, and I suspect the weight loss is going to be about 2 pounds a week or even a little less. I was hoping I could have lost 15 my first month, but I'm not sure that - that is going to happen for me. We'll see, and I'm going to keep on trying. 
I've got 3 more weeks to try for it.
I'm taking my MIL and SIL to see a family member tomorrow and as soon as I drop them off back at their home I'm going to run to Wal-Mart and get a couple of things and head back home. I'm going to try to get my master closet cleaned out tomorrow. The rest of the house looks geat, but my closet looks like a bomb exploded in it. I hope I feel energetic tomorrow so I can get started on it at least.
My husband just got a promotion and it looks like he'll be working the whole weekend 
but it's cool. We both knew him taking this job would mean longer hours and we talked it over and agreed the extra hours were worth the extra money and benefits he's getting. It will benefit the family as a whole and that's a good thing.
So that's my update for today. I hope that you all have a great weekend! Just because it's the weekend doesn't give us a free pass to eat like we've lost our minds. Choose healthy foods and watch those portion sizes, drink the water too! Until then-
Wishing you all the very best,
~Tink~
P.S. My mom just came in from her little house out back and asked me if I wanted some Krystals. Even though I am taking the Phen I still want to eat, but I said "no thank you" and for that I am very proud of myself!
