Today has been much harder than I expected. I have not been hungry, as the shakes really fill me up, but I have noticed so many more cravings. What I really want is cheese! I am craving cheese like nobody's business. I think that it must mean I need some savory items in my diet. One if the items I can purchase is a chicken soup, but it's not recommended on the first week due to the sodium content. This is definitely something I will be purchasing next week!
One thing that did help yesterday was my ability to mix up some of the shakes into something other than a shake. Sounds funny right? I can make muffins, cookies, and puddings from my shakes and that seemed to help. Yesterday, I made cinnamon muffins that were great! They were a little more dense than normal muffins, but it was nice to chew something. Plus, one side effect from a liquid only diet is that your gallbladder becomes under used. If I make muffins, I can add flaxseed, which aids my diet in so many ways, and gets my gallbladder working.
For dinner, I made a chocolate cheesecake pudding. I did this by adding 1-tablespoon of instant sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix to my shake along with crushed ice, and a little water in a blender. Yummy! It was just like eating dessert.
I did better with my water today, but I slept a lot more today as well. I think my body is getting rid of all of the bad things that I have been putting it through for years. I keep reminding myself that this is a process. One step at a time.
The last thing I did today was to track out how many days I think I will be on the decision-free plan. This is the shake only part of the plan, before transition and maintenance. I have just been telling myself, since before I began the program, that I would probably be on the decision-free plan until the end of my school year in June.
