Well, Day Two has come and gone. I started the day with a workout. Turbo Jam 20 Minute Workout. I love these workouts but, holy moly, I was completely sucking wind through it. It is totally frustrating when your body doesn't do the things it used to do so easily but then I have to remember to cut myself some slack...my body went through a significant trauma. It will take some time to get it back to where I was pre-surgery. Patience grasshopper!
My post-workout breakfast was a Coco-monkey Smoothie from the guidebook. It was so stinking good. I seriously could drink this smoothie the rest of my life! The frozen banana in there gave it enough sweetness to help curb any cravings for sweets that I had upon waking up.
The symptoms that I could experience on Day Two were headaches, mental foggiest, or hunger. I definitely had a headache and a bit of nausea during the afternoon. I grabbed some beef jerky as a snack later in the afternoon which helped a bit.
The one thing that I am finding is that I'm not really that hungry during the day. The smoothie was enough until about 2 p.m. (I also didn't get up until 9 - I am hoping to get the clearance to get back to my full - time job after I see the surgeon this week so I will be waking up at 5 a.m. next week).
Dinner was Greek Meatballs, sweet potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. Fantastic! The hubby even commented how good it was - which is saying something!
Evening snack was Cinnilla Nuts (also from the guidebook). I thought they were pretty darned good.
So I will chalk Day Two up to be a success! Cravings not bad at all. Day Three is supposed to be when it can get pretty dicey but bring it on. I got this!!
