Well my Project Skinny Bitch did not start as I had planned.  Distractions, occasions, and snacking prevailed.  Such is life, though.  You just gotta keep going.  To top it off I’ve been fighting a laptop virus which is slowing everything down and has stalled my plan to lay out the guidelines for PSB here on the blog.  I can only be here for a short time before I get shut down.  Very irritating.  But here’s what is going on so far.

Friday the 1st I was a little melancholy.  I did manage to get a good Turbo Jam workout in.  I didn’t have any meat, caffeine, or candy.  Noticed no difference in the way I felt other than happy that I exercised and made it through the complete workout.

Saturday Hubby and Son went to the lake. I had too much work to do PLUS our hamster is sick and in the middle of daily meds treatment so I was happy to stay home.  My Daughter decided she wanted to stay with me and lay low for the weekend.  We took a notion to go someplace adventurous for dinner and ended up at a Japanese grill.  Not terribly unhealthy but I did eat a couple pieces of chicken and way too much shrimp.  On the way out my Daughter wanted some bulk candy and I ate some of that too. 

In keeping with the idea of a food journal I will report that none of that eating had anything to do with hunger or impulse or self control.  I never argued with myself about it.  My Daughter wanted to have a Girl’s Night Out while the boys were gone (she’s and I made the choice to enjoy.  Great in the big picture, but not for day 2 of a challenge. 

Sunday was uneventful. I had to show houses and was pretty busy… had no caffeine or meat but didn’t have anything good either.  Ate too much bread and Ramen noodles.  How I feel is crappy.  And again, I never felt hungry or “tempted” to stray from my program but I had gotten busy and still haven’t filled up the fridge with my yummy veggie treats. 

I decided last night that I would do some type of fast or detox because I had not jumped in the way I hoped PLUS I just feel all full and gunky.   I researched the topic last night and found lots of interesting fasts, but decided on just a good old fruit and juice fast.  I was planning on two days, but I don’t know now…

I started out this morning with a big glass of water, followed by Pomegranate juice.  Later had another big glass of water.  (Constantly sipping).  While the rest of the Fam had dinner I had a shake with frozen tropical fruit, fresh blueberries, pomegranate juice, protein and a tablespoon of olive oil.  (gotta get my MUFA in there!)

I had a GREAT day!  I am bloated, but that started yesterday for whatever reason.  I was on fire with energy all day!  Was starting to joke about feeling cranky around 4 and now at 7pm I am flipping hungry!!!  I’m aggressively sucking down this big glass of water next to me. 

I don’t know if I will make it through a second day because I am seriously feeling a little crazy here, but I am determined to finish out this day.  I am headed to the store in just a bit to get my vegetarian staples and if I get any wilder with hunger I’m hitting the bed early to avoid temptation!

So that’s it.  4 days on the project.  Hungry, bloated, and grouchy.  Sounds about right!
