It’s almost 2 PM and I still have not decided if I want to make it my MILK or my VEGGIE 2-days. So far I’m okay even though I have a ton of attention on the fact that I’m on this diet. I set up iCal to ping me at every odd hour to ensure that I don’t forget about the beads.
Next to that I was beginning to feel a slight headache building, but I knew it was my mistake because I did not drink enough this morning as I was so engulfed in a project for which my client is under a deadline. I took a dash of salt with almost 2 cups of water and am now sipping my very first DIET COKE – who would have thought that I’d ever go into the pit and consume anything that contains Aspartame? But, after the first 3 disgusting sips it’s not as horrid (far from good though) and my headache has disappeared.
What worries me far more currently is that my left arm feels somewhat numb, right by the arm pit and then the pinky and ring fingers, the feeling is between tingling and being numb. I know I was sitting partially odd, so this could be it, but with all the warnings you always read about signs of a possible heart attach, I am definitely watching… and worried. Hope it will go away soon.

Hi, Happy day 1. Expect to sail through this. I find that keeping busy, drinking lots of water, the days (all 4 of them
) have flown by. I know that for me if I focus on the food it will be more difficult. I usually have detox issues with reiki accupuncure etc and I am doing great. I am able to avoid being around food, my family is older, and while they may live for the next 86 days on hotdogs and mac and cheese,,,I am not going to look. THis thing I am doing for me and when Mama is happy ,,,everybody is happy 
Are you local, is anybody local? I would love to have someone to walk with. I’m in Cornwall/new windsor in Orange co.

Dawn, thanks for the encouraging words! Yeah, I’m doing this one also for me, though my hubby is very supportive. Unfortunately I’m not local, I wish somebody would be.

So how did it go? I know evenings are the hardest for lots of people. I like how little I have to think about this diet. I like that I am afraid of ruining a week with the smallest cheat, so I don’t. I am concerned about what is the correct info on the diet jello, unlimited or not, and disappointed if the site is wrong. Everything is a work in progress and as long as that scale keeps going down…life is good.

Hi Dawn!
but I think it got clarified today that it’s actually less but if you take more than rather that then fall for something else.
It went much better than anticipated. Later that day we went to a store to get some sugar less candy and hey, I feel like in heaven, being able to have a treat here or there with the 10 calorie candies.
I think this diet will really be “it” for me, like you, I don’t want to ruin it at all with any cheat. Knowing that I should not be on it for very long also helps me. Yeah, the jello confusion
