Six days in, four days on VLCD. So far so good. I haven't been very hungry, nor have I had a detox reaction like I did the last time around. My brain is a little fuzzy at times, though. Walt is going for 23 days, and I've pretty much given up the idea of doing a 40 day round, thinking that it will be much easier for both of us if we are in the same phase of the diet as we go through this. At some point Walt will have to go on alone, as he has more total weight to lose. but I'm not sure where that will occur since he also, because he is a guy, loses it more quickly than I do. This of course falls into the not fair category, but it is what it is. In looking at the calendar and our upcoming travel plans, it also will work out pretty well doing it this way.
I made a mistake this morning, which turned out to be a nice discovery. I thought I was adding Vanilla Creme stevia to our morning coffee, and I added Apricot Nectar instead. I would not think this would be a winning combination, but it is. We had already been adding the Apricot Nectar to a cup of English Breakfast tea as a nice nightcap or afternoon pick me up - it's yummy and dessert-like, especially paired with some fruit. Now we will be adding it to coffee too. Who knew?
This time around I am really surprised by how little hunger I am experiencing. It wasn't severe last time around but this time seems to be even better. I hope I am not going to regret saying this out loud in the near future. So far ...
