DAY 3 / 90

Good news first. The scale said 220.6 pounds this morning. I started at 228.6, so that is exactly 8 pounds gone in three days. Like I said yesterday, a lot of this early drop is water leaving with the stored glycogen. That is why the number moves so fast right now. It will slow down.

Now the honest part. Today was tough. The first really tough day. I feel sluggish, low on energy, a little anxious. My body is stressed and I can feel it. Day 3 is usually when the body is switching fuel, running out of easy sugar and moving toward burning fat and that switch is exactly what this feels like.

Here is the strange part. I am not hungry. But there is a battle going on between my body and my brain. My body wants the cookies, the pizzas, the burgers, the sugar. My mind knows I am not doing that. So you do not give in. Not to the food, not to the feelings. You stay strong and you let the body do its work.

Day 3 done. Water up. 🩸
