Lemon- my BC is an implant, so I can't switch it out LOL. But it's not that bad, it just causes my TOM to be all over the place. Sometimes it'll be months before I see it. Toward the end, I was getting it every 2 and half weeks. Which was why I was so desperate to get it replaced ^.^
Good for you, going on walks to calm that urge to break the fast. I need to do this, but man it's just too hot right now. When I get home from work is my worst time. I'm so used to making dinner/breakfast for me and my man. It's just a habit now. So I drink my tea^.^ I have a huge tea mug (About 3 cups) and it's hard to feel hunger or the urge to snack with a belly full of hot tea.
Slashnl- Don't you love it when the weight comes off at the times when you're sure you should gain, or at least hold steady? Always a nice surprise.
I need to get walking or some form of exercise. I'm too lazy LOL and it's so hot outside. I come home from work and it's all I can do to do the daily chores. Sometimes I don't even do that and save it for another day.
I have noticed that I must be sleeping better. The past 2 weeks I've been waking up on my own. Normally my man or my alarm have to drag me out of bed for work. But take today. I woke up and felt ready to get out of bed an hour and a half earlier than I usually do. Perhaps with this extra awake time, I'll be able to get some chores done or even slip in a workout while I feel refreshed and awake.
I heard that better sleep is a side effect of this diet but didn't think that would do anything to me because I looooove sleep. But I guess it's true! Least for me.
The scale tipped down this morning. I'm hanging on to the 50's by threads now. I was hoping to be into the 40's by my birthday (In 8 days) only because I do plan on having cake, drinks and all the high carby stuff I haven't touched in months. It's going to stall me as I re-lose all the water that comes with carbs so I know I'll see the 50's once again. A part of me says I should keep it light this year. Another part of me is like "Heck no! We're not going to have any carbs again until Thanksgiving."
I know I'll enjoy it and then regret it.^.^
