Oh Dear Oh Dear No More Holidays Please!

I love spring, and Easter. But, I will be so glad when Easter is over and no more holidays (with lots of sweets) until Halloween! I have to admit I love peeps, and jelly beans, and Sees chocolate filled eggs, and... yeah. I'm having to make Easter baskets, stuff candy eggs, and cook Easter lunch for family (scones, brownies, rice crispie treats, etc. etc.) and it is not easy. I know I could refuse, or say yeah, we're having a carb/sugar-free holiday. But I'm not supposed to be eating anyway right now, so in theory it should be easier than having to limit. But the sugar fumes are really getting to me! Must.Hang.On.

Craving Plastic Food - LOL

So I was playing with my little granddaughter, and she was being "chef" and cooking various dishes for me with her pretend plastic food. Did I want chicken? Did I want pizza? Did I want corn on the cob?

And my stomach started growling and I had a major craving attack (specifically for warm, buttery corn on the cob) while being served plastic food by a three-year-old!

Sigh, butter is just so good. And corn is one of my favorite foods. Which is why I'm in this weight-loss program, obviously!

Day Three - Woke Up Feeling Shaky

So they warned us we might feel headachy, a little shaky. Check and check. Headache yesterday, today woke up feeling shaky. (No pun intended - shakes, shaky, get it?)

I can't say I'm hungry exactly, but I've been having cravings. A steak. Salmon. Pasta with butter and Parmesan cheese.

Plus, food is everywhere. A number of Facebook groups I'm in post recipes, food, etc. Scroll scroll scroll. And I am so used to eating the kids leftovers. (I live next door to my one, three and eight year old grandchildren, who I babysit five days a week but am pretty much with the rest of the time anyway!) Leftover grapes, etc. almost made it into my mouth.

I did remember to weigh myself before eating or drinking anything today. 189, so down four pounds from the 193 on Monday?? But they do say the first week it's all water weight. Or just having nothing in your digestive system! But down is good. Hanging in here...
