Day Two

I'm not a fan of this diet for two reasons:

1. The headaches. It seems as though, rather out of mild hunger or caffeine deprivation, I get the worst headaches when I first start the diet. These only seem to last the first couple of days, but a pounding headache just isn't comfortable, 1-day, 2-days, or 1-minute.

2. Pee. Oh, the peeing! It's just awful! You must drink quite a bit of water to keep your kidney's from shutting down with the ketosis, (again - sounds really healthy huh?) and of course, you're losing all sorts of water weight - so, if you're wanting to follow a diet like this, then get ready to pee.

I did well last night, I was rather proud actually. My very good friend asked me to go with her to see Legally Blonde the Musical, and I did. Of course, most usually, this would be where I would completely blow my diet, and eat cheesecake and a greasy burger before the show. But I didn't. It's not to say that I didn't WANT to, I just knew that I shouldn't - and I resisted.

A garden salad: Mixed Greens (lots of escarole), Cukes, Tomato, and grilled chicken. Sounds bland and disgusting? Yeah - but I did use lemon juice to spice it up a little. That grilled chicken was flat flat flat. The dish came with pita strips, and I wasn't sure which was which. Note to self: NEVER order that again.

This morning, as usual - I skipped breakfast, and I'll probably end up with chicken breast for lunch. I'm drinking my water, and tonight (weather willing) I plan on walking. I figure, after a while, I'll jog/walk, then run/walk, then just run - and the weight is bound to fall right off.

Today's Menu:
Breakfast: Nothing
Lunch: 1 chicken breast (prepared by store) lemon/garlic grilled, 1 gallon water
Dinner:

Today's Weight:
247.0

POUNDS LOST:
3.6
