The View from the Classroom

WOW…can’t believe I’m so close…seems like just yesterday I was reading Bahamaman’s blog for the first time, making the decision to actually "do it".  How time flies…

I’m on my second day of meals consisting of double-boiled chicken and either almonds or natty pb.  The chicken, though rather dry, isn’t THAT bad…I’m with bodyauditor…beats the sodium-free tuna.  Of course yesterday, I got to drink a whole gallon of water which made the chicken go down easier.  It’s amazing…prior to this week I struggled to make sure I got a whole gallon of water…after 3 days of 2 gallons, 1 didn’t seem like near enough…had to really pace myself.  Today, I only get 1 liter…for the WHOLE day…it will definitely be harder to get the chicken down and I’m REALLY gonna have to pace myself.

As you can see from my new avi, I got my nails done yesterday…so relaxing…I love pedicures   In fact, I didn’t really miss the gym at all…had lots of errands to run and my new laptop was delivered (a week earlier than expected) so I had a new toy to play with…cool, huh?

So…we’ll pack up the family and leave for the 4-5 hour drive to Galveston sometime this afternoon. 

My last meal of the day will be a small steak with a little bit of sweet potatoes, which will be the menu for all meals tomorrow except for meal #1…two full eggs, steak and pancakes with real syrup…sugar…yum…it’s been awhile

Lastly, I must say, I felt REALLY good yesterday and thus far today (I did sleep much better last night!)…I think the increased calories, although not carbs, yesterday must of helped with that! 

So…wish me luck…even though I FEEL ready, I’m a true believer that a little luck never hurt anyone and the more people I have sending me some love, the better
