How is your DD going today? - Page 22

angie1 · 11-16-2012, 02:19 PM

I hate to say this, but today is definitely a 1 or 2. I think its because I didn't eat enough calories yesterday (around 1300..) . I had interviews with parents yesterday and today and they realllly drained me.

Plus I have a huge event to go to tomorrow and I didn't want to be bloated so I have been living off protein all week. NOT FUN.

I am not really hungry (which is good!), I just feel so tired, run down and no energy what so ever.

Can't wait until Sunday for an UP DAY!!

Joyjoy · 11-16-2012, 03:49 PM

Best DD ever, here. Reasons? I am washing walls, filling hundreds of nail holes, and painting a new-to-us-but-extremely-used house. My guess is that if I do eight-hour days, it will take roughly 6000 years to finish. This may be the best weight loss strategy ever.
Also, I finally followed Nancy's suggestion, bought bones, and made broth. It was DELICIOUS!! I just sipped it all day and had a couple of hard boiled eggs at noon.
Five. Wuhoo!

Carly · 11-16-2012, 03:55 PM

5. Energetic with very little hunger.

LuckyLou · 11-17-2012, 11:38 AM

4.5 great day so far. Little iffy about the few hours b4 bed but just thought of carrots so I suspect they'll see me through.

Had a goat's yogurt after my salad for lunch and think it really helped me get to dinner. Could be a tactic worth repeating.

And Carly I love the new avi. Your smile lights up a whole thread (even a DD one

)

mom23kids · 11-17-2012, 12:15 PM

So far 5+

I've been keeping really busy around the house and now just got back for running errands. I'm on a lc high right now because I found a diet cocoa with five less calories than the kind I was using

And I discovered my Meijer carries Davinci syrup

I keep hearing about this stuff and there it was, by the cocoa mixes! I picked up the raspberry flavored one and I'm going to add it to my hot cocoa tonight

Been doing small portions every 1-2 hours and I'm not hungry at all, have lots of energy and I'm feeling good! I'm really starting to like the simplicity of DDs

jacci48 · 11-18-2012, 09:00 AM

Having a smashing DD today so its got to be a 5!! My weigh in this morning showed a loss, only 0.5 of a pound but it was after a UD!! I am hoping to reach an all time low tomorrow after todays dd so am a very happy bunny!!!

Aw... thanks! Good DD so far, a bit of a cold, but that's alright. I'm almost never sick since I started JUDDD. I'll give it a 5 so far, but it's only a bit after 12pm.

Joyjoy · 11-18-2012, 02:22 PM

A five so far. Still moving houses. I thought the stress of it would make rotations harder, but it's the opposite. The days fly by. Yay!

jacci48 · 11-20-2012, 01:31 PM

I would say dd today has been a bout a 4, feel a bit sickish so not in the best frame of mind, however, I do still find DD's easier on the whole which has always surprised me!!

Joyjoy · 11-20-2012, 01:43 PM

Good DD, maybe 4-4.5. Slight irritability on and off. I get this on UDs too, though. Just can't eat it away on a DD

Kissa · 11-20-2012, 02:08 PM

My DD was going well, around 4.5, then I remembered it was an UD.....................?

Are we lucky or what?

sorenkkg · 11-20-2012, 03:01 PM

LOL Cindy and Dawn!

Today is my first DD back from vacay, and it's going ok. I'll say 4. I'm hungry, but it *is* dinner time, so I'll get things going and even have some cals for dessert later.

Kissa · 11-20-2012, 03:08 PM

I have no sympathy for you Soren.... I have been watching the misery of your vacation.

ANGIE 43 · 11-20-2012, 03:10 PM

I would have to say a 1 have been having a terrible time of it lately, lost my mojo really need to get it back where it went I dont know

I hate feeling this way, Ive got some functions to go to as well in a few weeks sorry for the rant

Kissa · 11-20-2012, 03:13 PM

Hey Angie rant away. We need more info if we are to boost your morale...

I am off to bed now, but in the morning I expect a full report! OK lady?

ANGIE 43 · 11-20-2012, 03:24 PM

Thanks Cindy have a good nights sleep, its 10.20am here on Wed morning, Ive been feeling a bit down and turning to food , I know I shouldnt

I start off good on DD then mid afternoon Im so hungry I blow it, have to pull myself up by the boot laces and keep going

LuckyLou · 11-21-2012, 06:08 AM

Woke this morning with a raging headache & haven't managed to kick it yet. Ok hunger-wise but it's strange not using food to soothe or distract from the pain. Had a spoon of sugar in my coffee, which I haven't done since my 1st weeks on JUDDD so maybe that's my soothing mechanism now (it did help the paracetemol go down!)

All in all 3.5-4. Hoping for an easy afternoon with the kids... It just might happen

cici52 · 11-21-2012, 07:04 AM

Off to a good start. Not hungry. That is rare a morning occurance. Have been HF for a few days. Maybe it is working. Will see how the rest of the day goes.

angie1 · 11-21-2012, 08:08 AM

5! I had such a big UUAD yesterday that today feels so good to not eat and cleanse my body!!

This! I went overboard on re-introducing carbs into my diet yesterday and was in bed by 9pm, absolutely miserable

It feels great to have a reset day today, to get back on track and not feel icky!

LoCarbGal · 11-21-2012, 08:35 AM

So far, a 5. It's early yet. I've trimmed my tree (I mean I pruned an outdoor citrus tree! I'm not that ahead on Christmas decorating!) and made sweet potatoes for tomorrow's casserole. Later this afternoon I'll make pumpkin pies. I didn't taste the taters, and I don't think the pies will be a problem for me. As big as I am, I've never been a taster when I cook. I guess once I know a recipe is good, I just do it and trust that it'll be great.

LadyKT · 11-21-2012, 08:42 AM

I'll say a 4. I'm not terribly hungry....but I do need to get some food in my belly soon.

Rayne_W · 11-21-2012, 10:26 AM

So far, about a 2.5. Went to grab celery out of the crisper drawer for my snack -- it had gone bad (egads, was it really that old?). Tried the other crisper drawer in the fridge for the cucumber I'd remembered seeing -- same fate. Not sure why I keep buying veggies, they just come to my house to die.

Taking solace in a mug of lapsang souchong.

I have the same problem! Time just slips by, and then I wonder why my veggies are brown and slimy.

It almost hurts my feelings when I (finally) go to check on them and discover they've passed on. Why couldn't they wait just another day?

Alas, I do the same thing with containers of sour cream. I buy them, wind up hiding them behind something else, then eventually go to make something, remember "oh hey, I have sour cream in the fridge!" -- nope, what we now have is a new batch of Aspergillus. Mmmm.

Have I mentioned I have ADD?

Anyway, today has been salvaged to at least a 3. Found the 4-pack of SF Jello.

Kissa · 11-21-2012, 12:25 PM

Definitely a 5 today. I managed to fit a glass of red wine into the day. How nice is that!

Demonica · 11-21-2012, 12:41 PM

A 5. I was able to get the desserts for tomorrow made without licking any bowls or spoons

I had DH do it for me ("here honey, lick this")

Kissa · 11-21-2012, 12:57 PM

Now that impresses me Demonica!
