Hi everyone.
I've decided to start a diary to reflect my journey on CD over the next 12 weeks (hopefully).
I officially started CD on 12th January 2010, and that's when i first posted on this site. However, I unfortunately had to come off the diet after the first few days. Fortunately I still managed to lose about a stone since then (in the last 7 weeks) even though I didnt continue the diet.
Anyway, back to what's happening now! I've re-started yesterday (28/2/10).Didnt go to a cdc as I still have enough packs (I got 2 weeks worth of supply last time).
A bit about me......
I have 2 childen (son - 8yrs 6 months, and daughter - 18 months old). They have both gone abroad with their father (to spend time with his family)!!! They went on 12/1/10 and are due to come back on 25/7/10.
I have managed to book 8 weeks off work and have booked a ticked for 28th May 2010, so we'll come back together!! Can't wait!! (miss them so much).
Anyway, back to the weight loss subject. I have got about 12 weeks to go before I fly over, and would like to lose some weight! I don't really have a lot of willpower when it comes to food. Although, I did at one time. I was always a big girl, but in 2002 learned about calorie controlling/healthy eating and went on a diet - not CD, just carlorie control (and daily exercise) and went from 14 stone to 8 stone. I maintained my goal weight up until 2006, but piled on pounds over the last few years. Since then my weight has yo-yo'd - lack of willpower!!!
I have now decided to be brave and try the CD, but I really want to be strict with myself. It's only 12 weeks (only!!!) - is what I keep telling myself!! Because the kids are not here I can concentrate on myself and I really want to do it this time.
I will try and update my diary as often as possible, but due to work commitments, it might not be every day. I want to try and use this forum to help me along my journey. So here goes -
Day 1 - Had 3 shakes and 2 litres water. Felt tired, headaches, felt very shaky and hungry!! Also, found it difficult to sleep - dreaming about food!!
Day 2 (today) - Had a training course in Leeds so long day. Had a banana tetra, and took about 4 paracetamol during the day - really bad headaches. Extremely tired. Felt lightheaded when I was on the train, on my way back home. Made a chocolate shake when I got home and felt a bit (just a bit) better afterwards.
Oh, i forgot to mention that there was a scrumptious buffet provided at the course, but I managed to avoid (actually i did have 3 slices of cucumber and a bit of lettuce). Still have a headache. Hope it doesn't last long. I remember cdc saying that it goes away after first few days! Will have another shake before I go to bed and I'll try and drink some water, but feel physically tired after so many visits to the bathroom!
Well that's it for now, but I'm sure I'll be back tomorrow, just to have a moan!!
Thankyou for your support.
