DAY 3

7:30am
I woke up feel much better today :)

And although I'm not ready to share my starting weight with everyone, I checked this morning. . . I've lost 8 pounds!  WoW!  I don't even feel like it though.  All that from peeing?? 
**Disclaimer: If bowel movements (BMs) gross you out, skip the rest of this paragraph**
Okay, for those of you wondering, yes, I do have em, even though this is an all-liquid (plus one bar per day) program.  I had regular BMs for the first day and then yesterday. . . OMG! I even took pictures! But I am not going to post!haha  It looked like I gave birth to a family of dark chocolate Hershey bars in the toilet! It was so dark!  And then by the end of the day it was like I was peeing outta my ass! Anyway, hopefully that gets regulated soon.  I can't go 4 months with liquid poop :(
11:11am - I went to bathroom at work and the BMs are back to normal, just small and dark :-/

*** Okay you can open your eyes now*** hahaha

I started my second shake of today at about 10:35am and I'm still trying to suck it down almost 45mins later . . . I'm getting sick of them already.
On a brighter note, I went to Zumba last night!  I sweated sooooo much!  Way more than usual.  After zumba I was feeling pretty good, but my left calf / ankle was killing me so I decided to get spoiled at Splendid Foot (a massage parlor).
I walked in and they said I had to wait thirty minutes, which was good, because it gave me time to somewhat dry my hair :)
But even after the 30 min wait and the hour massage, I could still feel the sweat on me.

I like the idea of making up my own workout routine, rather than having it dictated to me by someone. (i.e., a close someone telling you ' you need to go to the gym, you need to run, you need to . . you need to. . blah blah blah.  I feel like saying, "you NEED to shut up!" LOL)  I know he's really trying to be helpful, but sometimes you just need a sounding board and not an opinion.
So anyway,  this morning I decided to wake up and go to the gym after taking my son to school.  I went to the 24 fitness and did 40 mins on the eliptical.

I'm feeling pretty good about myself. . . 8 pound loss and working out everyday so far! I'll keep pushing to be successful. . . dark poop and icky shakes n all!
