Second Time Around, Day 2 - I forgot how bad this sucks!!!
I did IP from approximately September 2013 to January 2014 and lost 55 pounds. It was hard, but I stuck to it religiously and had great success. And for a while after going into maintenance phase, I did ok (mostly b/c I started the Insanity exercise DVD's and the exercise was keeping the weight off, b/c I was slipping back into old eating habits). And then the exercise starting slacking. Bad eating habits returned with gusto, and I sit here today having gained back about 16 pounds. I haven't put it all back on yet, but if I didn't do something, I slowly would have.
Sooooo, I decided to jump back on IP again and see if I could drop the 16 pounds I put back on, along with another 10 or so this time around. Started yesterday. This is day 2 and I forgot how crappy you feel in the first few days. I'm tired, have a major headache, feel groggy and out of it - just don't feel good overall. And I'm starving!!!! Ugh, I can't wait to get to day 4 or 5 and start feeling better.
And I'll tell you, the food packs just seem a little nastier this second time around. I got so burned out on them the first time, this time around I find myself almost having to gag down my meals. I think I got into such a rut, making the same things over and over again the first time that I got burned out on all of it. I think I need to find some new and innovative ways to spice up my food packs. I'm just hoping I can stick with this the second time around that I had the first time.
