Good morning! I am excited that I just finished my 3 week milestone. I went to the doctor on Thursday.....drum roll please......I have lost 26 lbs and 15% of my excess body fat. Woohoo! I feel great about this. Overall, things are going really well.
What's new? To be honest, not too much. I am on soft foods for another week, then I finally get to eat meat, veggies and fruit. I am craving meat! I want some of my Aunt Debbie's ground beef, or my favorite turkey sausage, or chicken and mushrooms. My body needs some protein! Other than than, I am pretty much the same.
My energy level hasn't really changed too much. One thing I have noticed is that if I am faced with emotional situations, ie a funeral, then I get extremely physically tired. That is new. I never used to get tired over those kinds of situations. I used to be really good at holding my emotions in check and not expressing them, but I find it very difficult to do this. I am not feeling new things--I am not more sensitive, I just used to hide it really well. It's like with each layer of fat that I lose, another layer of my true feelings is exposed and I lose a layer of resistance. I will have to spend some time thinking and praying about that. It's something I find very interesting.
Moving on, I am still needing a lot of sleep. 9 -10 hours per night is perfect. For someone who used to sleep 5-6 hours a night, this is a huge change. I anticipate that this will change again once I begin eating protein and my energy level goes up. We'll wait and see.
That's all I have to share for now. I am going to do something "normal" for Saturday...hit the grocery store, Costco then Target after I have unloaded groceries. Have a great weekend!
Peace, Love and Joy,
Rachel
