Reflection

So, after 6 days, how do I feel, what have I noticed?

I feel good/great - but not really any different from before. I would say that I noticed a bigger improvement in how I felt during my pre-prep week when I was "practicing" by eating fruits and vegetables and rice and lentils - even with the caffiene headaches I think this was the week where I noticed a significant improvement in just feeling good.

Day 1 I was excited to start and felt ready mentally for this adventure.
Day 2 was when I did the hike and I did feel a little be more exhausted than normal.
Day 3 was the day I felt out of sorts and achy. I did feel what I think were flare-ups - my ankles and my upper back - from old injuries.
Day 4, 5 & 6 - I felt very normal, I didn't get hungry except for that one day where I had a carrot for dinner. Even though I was hungry, I wasn't out-of-control hungry.

Things I have noticed:
I definitely am surprised and amazed by "newfound control" as the Day 0 e-mail mentions.
I don't know that this has anything to do with this program but I sometimes get the hiccups at weird times...like very late in the evening just before going to bed.

Day 4 e-mail says: "Make sure you are having 1-3 bowel movements each day during the program"!!! Well that is not the case for me... I did have 2 BMs on Day 2 but otherwise, it's just been 1 BM per day which is the norm for me. The e-mail does say that if I'm not, I need to be drinking more water. And that could be true, since I'm sure I did not drink as much water as I normally do this past weekend.
According to Day 5 e-mail my sleep should be improving...I'm not sure I can say that is the case for me - yet.

Oh - the most important part for me...yes, I do feel like I've lost inches, if not weight...Tomorrow I will weigh in so I'll know if I've lost weight.
Drum roll please..........
