So I wasn't sure when to expect hunger and headaches and the dreaded ketoflu that everyone talks about. I don't think I'm there yet. I am hungrier today so maybe tomorrow I will feel it. I have had just a little headache today due to my brilliant idea of cutting out coffee. I think it might be better to wean myself off of it. So mid morning I had a vanilla ready to drink shake mixed in an 8oz cup of coffee and it was fine. :-) I wouldn't say it was as good as a Starbucks Salted Caramel Mocha, but I don't have many of those anyway. I had the chicken soup at lunch time with some ground black pepper. It was pretty good. I think having the soups for lunch is a good idea anyway because that is a healthy habit I want to adopt after this crazy 15 weeks end. So in total I had 4 shakes, 1 soup and I'm about to have a bar. An aside for people who may be thinking about doing this...I mentioned I don't like the ready made shakes, but the strawberry ready to drink is especially not good. It's drinkable so I guess not horrible, but just not something I plan to continue to order. So far the vanilla powder is my favorite. I have added pumpkin pie spice twice and it's a great evening dessert. :-)
So overall today, I'm pretty hungry, maybe a 7 on a 0-10 scale. But that didn't start until about 5 this evening. I still have a dull headache, but I am really blaming it on the stupid choice of eliminating caffeine for no good reason. I'm drinking at least 2 liters of water in addition to the shakes so the bathroom is my best friend.
That's about it! Tomorrow I might head to the movies so that I can avoid sitting on the couch thinking about food! I am anticipating based on what I've read it might be the worst day. Which makes me happy I started on a Thursday...by the time Monday rolls around I should be feeling pretty good!
