Chardonnay40 153 Posted November 5, 2019 Thanks everyone. Day 1 was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. I did not crave food. Day 2 may be another story as we get catered breakfast/lunch tues-th at work. Lucky for me, the food is downstairs and I am upstairs. I also have a headache today (as expected) but in all I am still pumped. 2 HappyHikerGal and Bill Sperry reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have the same diet too! All I know is that after this is over, I never want to even SEE another Propel Water or zero Vitamin water!!! 😆 2 Chardonnay40 and Bill Sperry reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
