Thought I would start a diary...I'm keeping a journal with pics as well (only taken one so far!)
Just completed the first week and 1 day of SS - am completely gobsmacked that i managed to do it and really pleased with myself. 9lb off and 2" off my waist - fantastic The trousers that I had lined up to fit into first are now rather loose! Just going to recap my week for myself so I can remember how it went.
Day 1 - Woke up with a headache (I am prone to migraine) and seriously wondered if this was a good day to begin! Downed my usual painkillers, took the children to school and came home and drank my first shake - the cappuccino and I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. Not sure what I had imagined they would taste like but it was far better than I thought it would be.
Had a ticket to go to a show with some friends and was really looking forward to it...took a tetra with me. My tummy started to audibly rumble at about 12.30 ish...not helped by the fact that the catering was those hot meat sandwich things, goodness me We went off to the eating area and my friends all beetled off to buy the hot meat sandwiches...I contemplated having one and starting properly the next day but managed to resist - phew! Downed the tetra and a bottle of water and realised that choc tetra are not for me!
Enjoyed the rest of the day and went home to organise sleepover for dd - cooked lasagne, bought sweets and crisps and all that sort of birthday rubbish (inc. a smartie birthday cake) for the girls and ds to enjoy and resisted the lot - rather thought that at this point I deserved a medal or at least a very large pat on the back! Went to bed feeling tired and ok.
Day 2 - Woke with headache and feeling very, very vague and not with it. Sleepover girls still in residence - dh kindly fed them birthday breakfast of croissants while I pulled myself together a bit. Headache persisted and by afternoon I was feeling a bit worn so the girls and dh went off to the cinema while I went off to bed to see if it would help the headache! It did, a bit
Day 3 - No headache on waking went off to teach a class and managed just fine, headache started up in the afternoon. Children went off out with some friends so I went off and had another little sleep! By evening was feeling ok and finally remembered to get dh to take a starting photo of me.
Day 4 - Headache back in place...painkillers wiped it out completely and I felt good
Day 5 - Felt like I was on speed today - even after a poor night's sleep!
Day 6 - Went fine
Day 7 - I was starving hungry from dawn until dusk and had unpleasant acid tummy at night - so nasty I was tempted to have a drink of milk or eat a bit of chicken to calm it down, went to bed instead!
Day 8 - My first weighing day To combat the starving hungriness of the day before, I decided to try and push my shakes around the clock a bit. On none of the days have I been hungry when I got up so thought I'd have my first one later on. It has worked and I haven't had any hungriness at all today.
