7lbs down, feelin' proud!

Wow! I never would have thought I could lose more weight in 9 days, than I have in years. Even though it may sound to good to be true, or too easy, I have been working incredibly hard in these nine day. Below I am going to tell everything i've done so far and all the products I've used so far.

Exercise

Yes, the dreaded E word. Especially if like me you have alot of medical conditions, this feels 20x harder than it probably should. I usually shoot for completeing 2 or 3 of these activities per day. Sometimes I only complete a full Chloe Ting workout (IYKYK)

• Take my dog on walks. 20-30 minutes.

• Use my spin bike (still on the lowest setting for now) Aim for 15 minutes.

• Use a set of resistance bands. 10-20 minutes per day. 10lb or 20lb band.

• Chloe Ting's free website full of free exercise programs. 20-50 mins.

Diet

The changes in my brain and changes in my way of thinking on this medicine have really made all of my diet choices for me. Within the first two days, I stopped having thoughts about anything containing bread, sugar, or chocolate. Instead I have my Orgain Vegan Protien powder (sugar-free,probiotics, vitamins) at least twice per day. I never come close to my protien goal, but I try. I have been using alot of Ratio products, which is an all keto line. For non-brand name products, this is what I eat. I have been doing a mostly liquid diet as I just can't stand the thought of food.

• Parfait- Unsweetened greek yogurt, unsweetened coconut flakes, Ratio keto granola, fruit of choice, and a few sugar free chocolate chips (Bake Believe brand)
  

• Smoothies- Unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened greek yogurt, multiple kinds of frozen fruit, spinach, Orgain Chocolate Protien powder.

• Instant breakfast with Unsweetened almond milk.

• TONS of water.

• If I can handle it, I try to make some kind of whole wheat pasta dish or brown rice dish.

Supplies- Used almost daily.

• Electrolyte powder

• Magnesium Citrate Gummies

• Tums ginger chews

• Miralax powder

• Fiber chews

So like I said above, it's a lot of work, and it can also be miserable trying to force yourself to eat. Another thing to expect on this medication is constipation, beware.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read another post! Have a good day.

** I will come back at a later time and post links to everything I use.
