Well here we go!
Week 1 - Day 1
I slept like a baby last night and when I woke this morning I forgot that today was the start of RTM!
I have been used to having a pack at about 0900, another at approx 1230-1300, the 3rd between 1800-1900 and the last at approx 2100-2200 but I decided that I would shift it somewhat when I started RTM as I want to only have my meal in the evening - obviously I shall see how that goes and shift it about if it doesn't suit.
So, at 0900 I had my vanilla shake, as usual with 900mls of cold water and a heaped spoon ful of coffee. At about 1100 I had my warm peanut bar - yum I do love these. At 1300 I had my next vanilla shake in the usual way. It is funny how I only ever used to have 1 cappucino a day (more on that down below), never drank tea or coffee otherwise and since I have been on LL I have had a heaped teaspoon of coffee 3 times a day in my vanilla shakes and sometimes black coffee (proper stuff not instant). I may need to seek support for caffeine withdrawl! lol <joke>
A few people at work started asking about me eating today and my Mum, bless her, text me this morning, the conversation went something like this:
"what did you have for breakfast this morning, anything exciting?"
" a food pack Mum"
"I thought you were stopping blah blah blah"
"I have moved onto the next phase Mum"
"not a piece of toast or some cereal?"
"no Mum, they don't come for weeks"
"oh, right then"
LOL bless her
Anyway, I left work and started walking home, my partner was meeting me half way so that we could go shopping. I had a knot in my tummy. I recognised the feeling from the same week that I had only lost 1lb and wondered if that was my losses dropping off.
We went to Sainsburys - I got some mini mackerel fillets, hot smoked and peppered hot smoked but they didn't have the hot smoked salmon. So off we went to another Sainsburys, they didn't have the salmon either! <Rik bought me a lovely Orchid> Off we went to Morrisons, I got the hot smoked salmon! We also went to Tesco so I could get some Dolce Gusto coffee pods for my machine as I can have them Friday - skinny cappucino and skinny latte - very excited about these! I also bought some classico cafe ones - black coffee! Can't believe I did not get these sooner!
I pottered around a bit when I got home. I cooked Rik a pizza then I plated up some of my fish - I did weigh it because I wanted to know what 3-4oz looked like.
I had a mini hot smoked mackerel fillet, a mini hot smoked peppered mackerel fillet and a piece of hot smoked salmon, it weighed 3.8oz - I really enjoyed it! The salmon mostly. I am really pleased I enjoyed it as I have never eaten it before!
I then had a nice cafe classico coffee and I am say with a big smile on my face!
