Day 2: Pounding and Growling

Woke up with a pounding headache. Just to fill you all in, at least once a month or every other month, I get a headache that is border line migraine -- just the way life has been for as long as I can remember. I'm pretty sure that my caffeine / food withdrawal headache came at the same time as that one. I thought I was going to be sick this morning before I came to work. It wasn't fun. I popped some aspirin, that wasn't working. Then I remembered the green tea (ew) - this time I used two bags to one mug and added fresh lemon juice (a little more enjoyable). About 3 hours into my day the headache finally went away. Whether the aspirin kicked in, or the green tea kicked in, I'm not sure, but I was happy.

So, I had my green tea and shake around 9:30-10am. I tried to wait as long as possible before having my "food for the day." I was fine until about 2pm my stomach started growling. I mean - haven't eaten for days - growling. Of course at 2pm I don't want to have my last shake because I know that means at 8pm I'll be hungry again. Needless to say I pushed through the growling stomach until about 4:30-5p.

Surprisingly enough I was ok for the rest of the night. I worked until 9pm and went home and pretty much right to bed because I was tired and still had a slight headache. Helped knowing in the morning I was going to be able to have FOOD! Can I tell you how excited I am for this. OMG!

My biggest fear during this week is that I am not making all the meals that she suggested and it's going to hinder my results. Don't get me wrong I have purchased all organic foods and know what I can and can't have for the next 10 days, but I'm not going to be following any menu plan. Mainly because I work three jobs and don't have time, I work three jobs because I'm broke and can't afford to spend more money (above the $130 I have spent for this already), and I don't cook (ok this one doesn't count, but really it does). But we'll see, I'm going to stick to the program to my abilities and see what happens. I still haven't weighed myself, but most people after day two were down on average 5lbs. Whooooo, hoping I hit that mark!

Till next time...
