Good sunshiney morning fellow CD'ers. I am on day 2 of SS+.
My 40th is looming (end of August) & I'm sick & tired of carrying all this extra weight around. It's time for a new me!!
So, with help & support from the lovely Nuala (my CD lady), I've started my CD journey towards a thinner, livelier, happier me.
Day 1 - Started with the apple & cinammon porridge. Wasn't too sure about the taste until I was halfway through the bowl! Popped a spoonful of the fibre powder in it to help keep things moving. Was feeling positive but very tired after a fab energetic weekend's camping with friends. By lunchtime I was feeling sort of hungry (shaky & lightheaded), but mentally not hungry. Had a mango shake for lunch, will make sure I make it with chilled water next time! Hungry feeling again by 3.45pm, managed not to pick or snack at the kids tea. Veg soup at 4.45pm while the kids had their tea. Not too keen on taste or texture, think I will try more water in it next time as I found it a little gloopy. Treated myself to a hot chocolate shake at 8pm - yummy yummy yummy!
Struggled to drink all my water, managed 7 1/2 pint glasses but felt awash with water & was weeing all day!
Day 2 - took me a while to go to sleep, but once I did, slept like a log! Have woken feeling energised, positive & happy. Wierd, but I feel slimmer already, less bloated & "yucky". Original porridge for brekkie - yummy, like this one.
9.45am - flagging a bit now, tired! Treating myself to a coffee with a little of my milk allowance.
