Here's my Breakfast this morning! It was yesterday and will be until day 5.

Breakfast looks really good! Yummy. I've had a Protein Shake

Ok....here I am on day 4 of Boot Camp. Monday and Tuesday, I have a headache which I attribute to withdrawing from carbs. And that first day, I lost 3 lbs. YEA!!!! But today, I am having serious carb cravings! Right at this moment, I feel the same exact way I did when I first quit smoking. Is this normal for day 4? I'm so very, very close, and I've really enjoyed the way that I've been eating, and I've been tracking it, and I'm quite proud of myself. I plan on taking what I've learned in boot camp, and continuing on. But let me tell you.....I would just about kill for a devil dog, or a piece of pound cake. I really thought these cravings were behind me.

Has anyone else had this problem?

[LilMissDiva Irene 3,282]

yes thats totally normal!! I woke up with a slight headache this morning and I'm having to curb the shock with some yogurt right now. Thank goodness for that or I'd have totally blown this already and I'm only on day 2. Well, count in my head start so more like day 3.

Great job already!!! Whoootttt!!!

Day 5 is now a mere memory, and I lost 5 lbs total!! YEA!!! I did have some carbs yesterday, but I didn't go too crazy. I went to Starbucks and got a large chai tea latte with fat free foam, and the extremely chatty barrista was absolutely insistent that I try and iced chai tea latte. The problem was that it was made with half & half. It was only about an ounce or so, but still. I know she was only trying to be nice, but she REFUSED to take no for an answer! And then last night, I made a 7up pound cake for my friend who is going through some tough times with her teenage daughter, so I baked her a little happy, and took her some flowers. And I did have a small piece of cake, but other than that, I did ok. I was able to get in all my Water, and I find that it's easier to do when I make it to the gym. So I'm going to make a concerted effort to make it to the gym every day during the week. Well, as soon as I figure out how to do it, I will update my ticket. (I'm extremely ticker challenged)

Just wondering if a little bit of sugar free coffee creamer is allowed on the five day boot camp. Also do you do yogurt?

[meggspeggs 0]

How about sugar free pudding during the five days. Is that ok?

[LilMissDiva Irene 3,282]

Anything SF is fine. Also yes, I do eat yogurt.

LOL Thanks Kim and Lynda! I like to call it my Birthday Month... haha

Elixabeth - I did in the early stages during weight loss. I would log all my food in https://www.livestrong.com/login/ It will keep track of all your calories, carbs, sodium, sugar - all that and it's free. There are many others you can use, but that just so happens to be one I chose. Not sure why, it was just easy to figure out I guess. I didn't really ever set a real limit to myself, I just figured if I'm eating right the calories can't go that high. They were always around 800-1,000 for the day and really I burned 1,500 for the day on workouts alone. So you can see it wasn't anything major for me to worry too much about that.

I don't ever log my food anymore, since I'm not actively trying to lose. I do however plan to continue to use this as a way of life if I need to get off a few pounds here and there. Good luck!!!

You look so great!! I saw you were burning 1500 a day on workouts.. what are you doing? I am bored from the treadmill,and I think its not doing as much good as it was a while ago.. thanks!!
