Hello! I have completed 10 days of 100% SS! It has not been an EASY road but here I am making a mark, making it far enough to weigh in again. This morning I stepped on the scale and couldn't believe I've lost 16 lbs. since April 15th. I am sure most of it is water weight. Because I have A LOT to go, the 16 lbs. are not noticeable BUT I know I am headed in the right direction.

Easter weekend was a breeze. Thought it was going to be tough but it wasn't. Some of my family members know I am only consuming shakes so they didn't offer any food and encouraged me to leave early to make it to my next shake so that was easy. Making it to day 10 though was hard. Middle of day 9 (Tuesday) I was ready to give up. My niece's kids are here for spring break and they are eating every half hour so there's food around me. A lot of junk food especially so it's been a true (and hard) test for me this week.

I have been keeping busy with a very simple routine. Wake up, walk for 20 min then have a cup ginger and lemon tea and start to work. At 11am take a break, have my first shake then take the dog for her morning walk. During the day, work and water. At 3pm, another break, shake #2 and walk. Get off work by 6p. Feed the pets (a dog and 2 cats) and get ready for the last walk. At 7pm, shake #3, then evening walk the dog. Evening (from 8-9)read or watch TV. Shower and be in bed no later than 11pm and that's early for me as I used to be up till after midnight.

Here's to the next 10 days. I am mentally telling myself I am back to day one and doing 10 days at a time. That seems to work (so far).
