Well, I got plenty of sleep, at least I got more of it, last night, but unfortunately still not the scale drop I was looking forward to. I have a digital scale, so I think it has certain intervals it reports and its readings round off to the nearest of those intervals. But still, by the third day on the diet I would have expected a fun drop. I really wanted to lose ten pounds in the first week. And I know I have not been sleeping enough but I would have thought maybe after getting sleep 2 or 3 pounds would have dropped away like candlewax. It's too early to be too disappointed, of course.
I have been drinking a lot more water and a lot less of anything else. I did have one Diet Cheerwine yesterday. And at night I have Sleepytime tea with honey.
It's Day 4 so today I move on to my next set of meals. I stayed up last night cooking a bean and corn casserole. It mixes bean corn and zucchini into a consistency of tomato sauce and milk and egg, which turns pink, so when I poured the whole thing out into a bowl it looks like vomit, and it probably won't be as appealing cold. But it should be edible. The next several days I am not scheduled to work and should be able to enjoy cooking for at home. And next time I have long work days I need to have food to take to work that might occasionally involve more frozen meals.
But yeah, I'm ready to start sliding down that downward slope. I should do some Body-for-Life style cardio and weightlifting. Instead of no exercise whatsoever. Yesterday I walked across downtown to go to the museum and I was so tired - probably as much to do with lack of sleep as with physical depletion.
I did not feel the abdominal discomfort that I have been complaining about at the start of this diet, so maybe that's good. I should do some body measurements.
