The good news is that I'm calm and collected despite a jump up on the scale this week. I finally started my "moon" on Sunday! It was a week over due. So I am hoping it's water gain and next week I will know if Christmas indulging has made a permanent stay on my thighs. Needless to say this past week I start each day with the goal of cutting down on non essential carb loaded foods, like granola or cherry Garcia or pecan pralines. Let's just say that sugar cravings have been getting the best of me 50% of the time. I'm happy to report yesterday I had only one tiny pecan praline. I know! Why do I still have them? It's for another blog on mental torture, but my partner has chocolate every night and he is and has been fit and healthy all his life.
So I'm day 3 of what seems to be the 24-hour pouch reset, I start off strong and by evening I am starving and eating solids. I'm definitely experiencing sugar and carb withdrawals. One day at a time. Today, I intent to do better than yesterday.
