Here we go!!!!

Inspired by cutie, Cali, and Donna, here comes my log!!!!

Yesterday was day one for my first competition diet!!! I made it through the day and no one was harmed!!! Lol

Starting weight yesterday was 176 and I woke up today at 173?!? Wtf!!! I was in calorie deficit yesterday and I worked out and I eliminated some foods, but holy shit!!! Three pounds in one day??? I'm sure it's not typical and I shouldn't start celebrating just yet. But I was just surprised.

For those of you with more dieting experience-- help with this please: I went to bed hungry last night. That's normal, right? Or just coincidence? And I had some insomnia. Coincidence or "normal"? And a pounding headache that still has not gone away.

I did add some new supplements-- fish oil and vitamin e. I cut out milk from my diet to start. Macro split yesterday was something like 45 p/38 c/20-something f.

What say you?

I would say coincidental. But your bod could also be kind of doing a detox too, that would account for the headach and insomina.

Go, girl!!!! Yes! I'm subbing this shiiiit

As for the 3 lb and the headache I have a couple thoughts, but it would help to know exactly what you ate. My suspicions are:

1. Dehydration
2. Sugar withdrawal
3. Not enough calories

Post up or feel free to PM.

Way to commit! Welcome to the results train!

Hey Fc thanks for the shout out!
Can't wait to follow your progress girl yet another dedicated lady on board EF's great.
Well the first thing I thought of was maybe dehydration don't know if that helps or not. It just a thought.

Anyway I'm following ya chic can't wait to see you progress.

It's not unusual for me to gain or lose up to five pounds in one day due to:

• carb intake
• hydration levels
• amount of food ingested

strange but true. good luck on the progress

Try taking Passion Flour at night. I use it. It is a natural anti anxiety that is packed with anti oxidents. While your body is adjusting it will help it relax.

In gonna guess not enough calories. I drank water yesterday like it was my job. And I cut out a lot of sugar long ago and the only sugar I had yesterday came from some strawberries. But I did notice that I might have been too low on calories. After eating and burning calories at the gym, I think I was 400 some calories under my target caloric intake. This is assuming that the myfitday app or whatever it's called knows what it's talking about. and I only had two scoops of my protein yesterday instead of the usual four coz my order hasn't shipped yet. Boo.

Still have a bit of a headache now and I'm sleepy as hell, but I attribute that to not sleeping well last night.

In other news, I made it thru my first cardio sesh. Only 20 minutes, HIIT on stepmill, but it still managed to kick my ass.

Thanks Cali!! Target calorie is 1720, carbs aren't all that low yet. Today they ended up being 162. Still kinda hungry, still have a headache. I ate a shit ton of green beans to try to fill me up at dinner. They were oh so flavorful. Sarcasm.
