Day 1 - Loading

I woke up this morning a little later than I wanted because I was out partying last night - sue me, it was my gay boss' birthday. I'll consider it one last hurrah before I  start this beast of a plan :-)

I started with 10 drops under the tongue at 10:30. For the most part, there is no smell or taste to them. I felt a little sensation while they "marinated" there, but nothing markedly terrible by any means.

The hardest part was to keep your tongue curled up while the drops dissolve. Saliva collects and I'm not sure if at the end of the 5 minutes, you are supposed to spit or swallow. Sounds dirty, but I spit this time ;-)

I believe I will take the drops again at around 3:00 and then before I go to bed, but I am hoping to switch to a more rigid 8:00 -12:00 - 6:00pm drops schedule after the next two days.

For those of you wondering why the hell you would start a diet on Christmas Eve, it's because on the plan, you begin with 2 "loading days". I figured that between Christmas Eve dinner, Christmas day breakfast, and Christmas dinner, I would get all the loading a girl could possibly hope for.  I also think I will be naturally so disgusted by food by the time this gluttonous holiday weekend is over, it will be quite easy for me to tone down on the eating. Same thing happened after Thanksgiving, kicked the health into high gear, but didn't lose a pound.

Since today I can still eat whatever I want, I'm not sure there will be anything worth mentioning more in this post. If so, I will pop back on later and edit.

Feel free to leave any questions or comments and I'll get back to them.

Happy Holidays, everyone!
