I am nearing the end of day 3 on the opti-fast.  I have to say, it hasn't been as hard as I thought it would be.  Not the easiest thing in the world, but certainly not the hardest.  I'm not really hungry as much as I just miss eating.  Two weeks without putting a morsel in the mouth is not an easy task. 

The days go by pretty easily.  I work from home and keep really busy.  I'm actually not downing as many of the shakes as I should be.  Evening is hard.  That is when the family eats dinner and the smells and sight of food is really  hard.  My family is being very supportive and tries to either eat food that I don't like or cook and eat when I am not around.  They are not asking me to cook, thank goodness.  I usually have two of the shakes together in the evening along with a bar.  That really fills me up!

I have found that filling a one cup measuring cup with ice and then filling it with water, pouring that in the blender, adding the dry mix and blending makes a pretty darn good shake.

I have been feeling more tired, I have read that will pass.  I am also surprised that my blood sugar counts have been around 137, strange.  I thought they would go down.

I have found that keeping busy is they key as I'm sure it will be in the future as well.  Finding something to do with my time besides eating.  I think the week days will be fine, I am worried about the weekend.  This weekend I have volunteered to help cook burgers for our little city's Fall Festival.  I don't think I should have done that.  It's for a good cause, but probably not a smart move.  I will let you know.

Three days down, eleven to go.
