D.Tox - Day 2

D.Tox Day 1 Weight Loss: 2.2 pounds

Day 2, I want to die!!!!  And I feel like I am dying.  

I woke up extremely tired even though I slept well.   The hot flashes came in the evening of Day 1.  I woke up in the middle of the night and turned on my fan because I had the bed sweats.  I got out of bed, but I could have easily fallen back to sleep.  My mild headache from yesterday was still there and stronger.

My reactions to D.tox this time are COMPLETELY different than last time.  Last time, I was full of energy.  I had never felt better in my life.  This time around (so far), I feel like I am working double shifts at a manual labor job, have a colicky newborn, and am going through menopause all at the same time.  I am living my worst nightmare.  Oh, and I am so forgetful lately.

I know it will get better in a few days.  I can't wait for that day to arrive.

I'm glad I woke up relatively early because I spent a quarter of my morning prep time on the toilet.  The good news so far is that I lost 2.2 pounds in Day One.

Food wise, I ate a Turkey burger for lunch.  I attempted to eat the same dinner I had yesterday, but I just couldn't stomach it.  It was good enough for one night, not two.  So I decided to make a beef soup that is a family favorite.

I had an apple as a mid morning snack.  My hunger is so-so.  I experienced some slight hunger around 8 a.m., but I drank a glass of water and I was good.   I noshed on some carrots while my soup was cooking.

I only worked a half day and I was thankful.  I had some mild nausea in the morning.   I also had some bizarro esophageal burning on my drive to work after I had my morning shake.  Weird.  Just weird.  I came home, did some work, and took a 40 minute power nap.  I woke up and felt worlds better.  Maybe I've turned the corner?  Oh, and I've been so forgetful lately.

Workout wise, I took a rest day today.  I have three straight days of Pilates coming up and a training session with Sarah on Thursday morning.

As I prepare to post this, I feel amazing.  I feel like I've been brought back from the dead.  But I've been so forgetful lately.
