Second Week and not as sleepy

[heshta]

It's my eighth day and I survived the weekend!  That meant dinner out on Friday night with my friends, Mother's Day brunch, and a confirmation party.

 

I'm so lucky to have such supportive people in my life.  My friends and family picked restaurants where I could select Whole30 compliant food and NO ONE DRANK!  That's amazing to me.  I thought giving up drinking was going to be the hardest, but I've come to find out I like dairy more than alcohol.  SHOCKER! 

 

I was also suprised about some of the negative feedback I was getting.  The haters.  So strange that they'd rather sabotage me than just leave me alone.  It's quite telling of the company I've been keeping.  Time to reevaluate with whom I spend my time.

 

Last week, the very first day, I went straight to the sleepy phase.  I still could use more sleep.  My energy level is okay, but I'm still tired, but it's not as bad as last week.  I didn't have any headaches either.  I feel really fortunate.  The only thing that's getting me is the mind games I play.  The cravings.

 

So, good luck to everyone!  I'm super excited to have started this program and really want to succeed.

Good job getting through all of your social events! Good to know the sleepiness will get better. I'm on Day 3 & exhausted

I loved reading your post! I'm in the same boat...I thought alcohol would be the hardest part to give up but, it's going ok...I'm only on day 3 though. To your point about the haters....I work at an office where there is a "sharing" table and guess who sits right next to it?!?!? ME! Today, someone brought in a HUGE bag of Peanut M&M's and it literally is sitting there staring at me...saying, "I'll get you, my pretty!" But, I resisted and THEN my co-workers started tossing these M&M's at ME!!! Not cool. I just threw them away and went on with work. We got this - I want to succeed too! Good Luck!
