well ladies, it's late and my head hurts, so i'll make this short and sweet. my first day was WAY easier than i thought...in fact, the hardest part to me was weighing myself. UGH!
but i just keep thinking about how much better i'll feel when i see the pounds dropping!
madi, i will be SO excited if i lose the 9 lbs in 9 days, but i will still still be happy if i lose something, ya know? the hardest part of the day for me as far as cravings go was wanting something sweet mid-afternoon. but i chewed a piece of tropical twist trident, then ate some light yogurt an hour later, and i was fine (surprisingly). then i had to go to a meet-and-greet thing for this choir i just auditioned for...and i ate my dinner before i got there and had water while i was there. i didn't even make my way NEAR all of the wines and cheeses and such, even though they assured me there was a fruit/vegetable tray.
so we shall see what tomorrow brings.
chicks, i was wondering about the splenda as well. i know in phase 2 you can have 4 tsp of granulated sugar or sugar substitute, but it doesn't say anything about phase 1. i had some fruit2o today to curb sweet cravings too, but only 1 bottle since i wasn't sure. also, does anybody know if we can have brown sugar at all? i put a half tsp in my blah/cinnamon oatmeal this morning, but it didn't do anything. just wondering.
well, good luck to everybody and happy smashing!!!
