Hello,
I am one of those anal people that obsesses with the scale, every day (fact is sometimes several times a day). i know it is not a good thing to do but I can't help myself. I actually had my son hide the scales on me for a week, I made it to day 5 without asking him to get them for me. Luckily he didn't get them. I made the full week without "weighing in"
I am just starting the Phase 2 and the last few days I have been so incredibly thirsty. I want to drink all the time, and sometimes the thirst isn't quenched. However, I don't always grab the water bottle. I do drink several cups of coffee a day. I just reread the phase 1 list and saw that I was only supposed to have 1 caffeinated coffee a day. Well I broke that rule, I had on an average 3 mugs a day, but I use Splenda and sugar free flavored liquid creamer. This morning I switched to decaf but by early afternoon I made some regular. I was so.... exhausted today (which could also be that I am coming down with a cold, I think).
I do a low impact aerobics 6 days a week for 30 minutes, first thing in the morning. But I don't always want to...
About 9 months ago I became a stay at home mom. I am mother to 3 children (12, 3 1/2, and 21 months). I homeschool my oldest son and I am in the process of reading a home management book...Lord nows I need a schedule so I can be more productive.
My questions are: is it normal to be this thirsty all the time, or could it be that I am having some intolerance (like pre diabetes or something)? I do have Aunts and Great Aunts with diabetes. The other is could my low energy level today (if not a cold) is it due to the fact that I just reintroduced sugars to my diet?
Thanks for all your advice (in advance)
Kerrie
