I'm svelting, thanks for naming today's thread after me! "IP Daily Cat"
AvaLynn, that is awesome that your willpower is so strong. Keep it up and thanks for sharing (so we know it can be done.) KFC is probably one of the most difficult things to resist because of the smell. You are tough.
I'm on day 4 and feeling just fine. Drinking lots of water. I have been wondering why I'm feeling so good, and I think I figured it out (maybe). I told my IP coach that I had hockey practice late on my day one, this past Friday. She suggested I could just have an extra packet, but that was only because it was day one and I wouldn't be feeling worn out yet. But she told me not to skate again this first week. Well, as Saturday and Sunday came around, I wasn't paying attention to my sheet and had an extra packet each of those nights (thinking that was what I was supposed to do, just like the day before.)
Ding-dong, all the sudden today I realized I had been having 4 packets each day plus my protein/veggie dinner. I know, I know, it is only three days, but that was not my most brilliant move. It pays to read and then re-read your Phase I sheet.
Oh, well, raspberry jelly under the bridge. Pound into my head: 3 packets plus protein/veggie dinner. We'll see what my WI shows, but I won't have great expectations.
