JUST STARTING

**not too bad**

 Well the first 3 days of the optifast were a little rough, I felt weak and had diarrhea, but I woke up today feeling bright and energetic so let's hope this lasts. I have an electric hand blender that works really well and having the crushed ice makes a big difference. I was advised to try spices in the vanilla and now I put cinnamon and it is much better. I plan to take on activities that will help keep me slim and I keep thinking of a saying I learned in Weigh****chers, "Nothing tastes as good as slim feels". Already my stomach is less bloated and I feel a difference and it is very encouraging. I keep thinking of 5 sacks of 20lbs of potatoes and what I will feel like without carring those around with me.
Good luck with your journey, one of my favourite sayings is by Henry Ford, "If you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right!"
