Day 5
Today is going really well so far, the early morning was a little hard, but we are having a nice quiet day recovering from the water park.. taking the kids to the pool in a little while.
Breakfast was 1 scrambled egg with cheese, 2 pieces of bacon and a slice of rye bread with some butter and jam... was good... felt very full afterwards and am still doing good three hours later..

End of Day 4.
Well the no pill day went pretty ok.. I was more hungry than I have been the last few days, but spending 5 hours a day for two days in a row in a water park kinda burned a few calories. Nothing like chasing a two year old all day to burn some calories. I was even able to keep myself from eating the whole ice cream we got as part of our stay.
I had a decent dinner of chicken fingers and homemade(baked) fries and some cherries.
My head hurts tonight, but I think that is all the chlorine from the park.

Day 4 - morning
We are at an indoor waterpark with the kids overnight. My pills didn't make the trip somehow and so I am going pill free today. We will be busy in the water park all day with the kids, so I am not too worried and we should be exhausted when we get home so I am not so worried about night snacking. I still have a headache this morning and I think it is the caffiene stil, should only be a day or two more and it should subside.
Had some cherries and a granola bar this morning.. will have a decent lunch wiht the kids in the park and then dinner later on.
I didn't even hit 700 calories yestarday - not good. I know I need to eat more, but I am so afraid of starting to eat and not stopping like I normally do... especially when I have been short.. I tend to over compensate and in a bad way...
Hoping for a good day with the kids.

End of Day 3
Well lunch was non existant today.. huge bid due and I worked right through lunch... nice thing was I wasn't constantly hungry, althought I think my meds left me little off nd I didn't do the best job of things today... will have to talk to my boss on monday and let him know what is going on... he is a great guy and I am sure he will understand.
Had two slices of pizza and some grapes for dinner... and nothing else for the day... probably going to be short again too day.. bt I am so afraid of starting to eat and then not being able to stop.

Day Three - Good Morning
This morning was pretty good, I have learned to get up a little before my normal waking time and take my pill and then go back to bed. then by the time I get up shower and get ready it is time for me to be able to eat. Although I find myself again this morning with no desire what so ever to eat.. which I know is the point of this whole thing, but I am afraid I am not going to eat enough and that it will cause me to not lose weight. I barely got 1000 calories yestarday... before this I was eating 2500+ calories a day... Last night it took all of me to eat dinner. This is a wonderful feeling for me. to finally not have food control my every waking moment. So I will just go with the flow and figure it will work it self out.
I am soo bummed by the rain today.. I will have to figure out somewhere in the office to walk. Scott worked late last night and so I didn't get my second walk in, but I could have walked in the house so it is really only my fault I didn't walk. I can't blame anyone but me for my failings in the endeavor. It is time I own up and say I am to blame...
There I said it, I feel better...

Morning of Day two
Woke up feeling pretty good this morning.. took my pill and was busy getting the kids and me ready to go... The fuzzy head hit me in the car on the drive into the city. I feel like I could walk a marathon again, hopefully no rain today and I will walk at lunch again.
I am feeling I think for the first time in my entire life, no desire what so ever to eat... actually has me worried that I wont' eat enough..
I got in 75 minutes of walking yestarday.. would have walked longer, but it rained at lunch and then Ryan was tired of being in his stroller after an hour last night.. tonight I think I will head to the pool for some laps.
Still working on coming off the caffiene, but I am getting better. Lots and Lots of water seem to make things better. And exercise seems to minimize the headache... I think they make it this way so we want to exercise a lot.
my weight was done about 1.5 pounds this morning... I am not going to check again until next wednesday.. just need to match up my scale at home with Dr. Fate's

Day One of this Journey
Well I can't exactly call this the first day.... but it is the first day of the final journey I plan to take in my weight management or lack of management plan. I started taking Adipex 37.5 today. I have done the weight loss roller coaster too many times to count and don't plan on riding it again. I have been working fairly well at this for the last year and haven't seen much in long term results.
I took my first pill this morning... within an hour I was wound up, head dizzy and fuzzy and a little flightiness going on.
by 11 am I had settled down a little, but am looking forward to a long walk at lunch... oh soo new to me. I think tomorrow I will take it as soon as I wake up, then exercise an hour later, when it is at its full force for the day. I have a bit of a headache, but don't feel the slightest bit hungry... another new thing for me.
So I went for a walk.. it would have been a lot longer if it hadn't started to rain. Then came in and had lunch. I wasn't really hungry much, but know that lunch is my big meal for the day. Had a small piece of steak, 1 fried pickle and some steamed veges. I am fighting a terrible urge to snack... not that I am hungry... just this is my normal afternoon snack time. Hopefully it won't take too long for me to get over these feelings... Head still hurts, but not as bad as this morning. Dr. says I can take what ever for it, so that is a good thing. Working on my water for the day.... soo much water, so little time. Planning to walk tonight, or if the rain stops I am headed to the pool for some laps. Going to get out the Leslie Sansone DVDs and start walking to them.
Its the end of day one and I feel pretty good. Head still kills but I find that exercise and water help the most... I almost feel I didnt eat enough today. Had a small piece of steak, 1/2 cupt of corn and stuffing and a hot dog. After dinner took Ryan for a walk, about 35 minutes pushing the stroller around the neighborhood was good. Having a snack of 1 cup grapes and nonfat yogurt. Hoping for a good nights sleep and another good day tomorrow.
