It has been 1 week since I started optifast and i lost 20 pounds! Yay!
I was the top loser in the class last night.  I haven't really felt much hunger.... just weakness.  I think this week will be better.

Today is day 5 on my optifast.  I think today was probably the hardest day so far.  It just seems like I have so much more time on my hands and I get so bored.  I still haven't experienced  the hunger that I had anticipated but I have really wanted to eat today.  Alex made a couple of Nathans hot dogs for him and he got full and couldn't finish the ( Read more... )

I started my fast yesterday.  It went well.  I really didn't feel physical hunger but I had episodes of psychological hunger.  It wasn't as bad as it usually was.  I did wait a little too long between one shake and I could feel it.  I am suppose to have a shake every 3-4 hours.  I do one at 6:30 in the morning while I am combing and drying my hair ( Read more... )

Why did I spend at least 30 minutes  yesterday sobbing over Kitty, my 13 year old cat that I had put to sleep years ago.  I think of her often but never break down and cry.  My hormones must be all messed up.  I had her when I lived in Indiana...I got her at a kitten and it was just she and I.  When I was home alone and felt lonely she was there.  ( Read more... )

I am excited! I am not sure how to entertain them or where I should take them to eat. My sister wants to go to Santee Alley and Venice Beach. My dad ( Read more... )

So, the owner of the convalescent hospital where I work built a huge place next door to it that is assisted living and they have a locked unit for alzheimers patients. There was some filming going on there today. The Closer, a series that is on TNT, was taping there today and I think they are taping tomorrow. I wish I had taken my digital camera ( Read more... )

I am alive! Alex and I moved over the past couple of weeks and now we are pretty much settled. We just need to put up some more stuff. I think the cats like the carpet because they all sprawl out on the living room floor instead of staying in the bed most of the time. I am even closer to work ( Read more... )
