So I completed Day 2 and man was it a rough day!!! I have heard that the second day is the worst, and man where they right. Ben and I where just as useful and "on it" as my cat is pictured above. Cashmere(our cat) just looks so much like how we felt.Ben and I went to a family gathering. The event was a buffet at a Chinese restaurant and then after go over to Ben's Moms house to carry on the party. So Ben and I decided to skip the restaurant and go strait to the house. I brought our 3pm shakes with us pre-made and a selection of teas, carrot sticks, packs of Stevia and some almonds. We planned on playing cards after the majority of the family left. Well, people probably thought Ben and I where smoking everything but our shoes before we arrived because we could not keep up conversations with anyone! We where pretty out of it. Ben's sister was thanking me for gifts that I picked out for her from over the Holidays and I could not remember what they where. So be ready people for a bumpy ride!

Ben weighed in at 210 and I weighed in at 151 at the end of the day. Also the first night of the program Ben had complete body twitching for about a couple of hours when he was sleeping. I made sure he was OK without waking him though. The twitching woke me up a couple of times so it was intense. Little strange but he does not remember any of it when I told him that morning.
