Having my #pinkdrink first thing in the morning, I definitely feel the effects in the form of not being as hungry as I usually am. I work retail and am on my feet 9+ hours a day. There is no "sit down" portion of my job, and I didn't tire out, at least not today. Monday was a very hard day, as it was Day 2 without my usual Diet Coke intake, and I had that gnawing headache one gets when you try to cut out your caffeine. But I powered through the day, drinking lots of water. No real hunger pangs at all, it was a shock to realize that when lunchtime rolled around, I wasn't constantly staring at the clock, wishing it was time to eat. By the time I got home, I fixed broccoli and cauliflower for dinner, then walked Sadie for 35 minutes.
Tuesday was easier, but there was a lag in my step that I noticed around 2pm. I grabbed a cool bottle of water, took a 10 minute breather to "regroup" and get through the rest of the day. Every day after dinner - from now until it begins to heat up for summer - I walk Sadie. Some days, I just don't want to do it, but it was a pleasant diversion to end the evening. We watched that gorgeous full moon rise up over the horizon!
Wednesday and the day went so much easier! No more nagging headache, there was a spring back in my step and my day just seemed to breeze on by! I usually measure my days by my productivity at work, and today was one very good day! Dinner and then our walk again, I've topped out at 15k steps, and I feel good. Really, really good!
And we'll see what the rest of the week brings ... I can't wait until Sunday when I can step on the scale ..... I know, I know, I shouldn't measure success by those numbers, but it's ingrained!
