Day 5 and going stong 
The weekend if coming up though, that's going to be the real test. TBH after a kick start I think I am going to have a day off on the weekend, not to wreck all my hard work for the rest of the week but keeping an eye on the calories without necessarily using the shakes, depending on what we do as a family. I am really keen on instilling healthy eating habits in my children, especially my daughter. Having a shake for breakfast is not one of them! It is a case of doing what I preach and not what I do, lol. I do think I am quite sensible about dieting though, I do it to be healty and reaching for the Slimfast tin was a last resort for me after 7 months of trying to lose this babyweight had proven fruitless. I am not taking it to the extreme and think I am doing it in a healthy way, I am having all my snacks (and a little extra if I feel like it as I am still partially breastfeeding my baby). As I think it would be difficult to get my daughter to understand the difference between all this, I just want her to see me having a healthy diet, i.e. eating the right amount healthy food (not stuffing my face with it just because it is healthy) and the odd treat. If that means losing my weight at a slightly slower rate, then so be it!
There is no need for my midnight snacking though, my daughter does not see that and it is not doing myself any good!
Despite calls for homemade pizza tonight, I am going to grill chicken breast and serve that with boiled new potatoes and veg. That will make it easier for me to keep a track of the calories and fill me up nicely without a temptation to overeat.
