Decided to keep a diary...didnt do this on LT last time, but I did on refeed and Maintenance and it does help to remember how you felt, etc..and I am sure it will help others as well who are thinking on embarking on LT.
Day 1 - 1st January
First day has gone incredibly well....it helped that I got up really late after all the celebrations last night.
I made my first shake of 16 icecubes crushed, around 450ml of water and the choc shake....luvly..Oh, I must admit I did enjoy it and have missed my choc shake!
Second shake was soup and for the first time I had it in a bowl, rather than a mug, which meant I could have around 500ml water....I boil kettle, then I have a RONDO which is like a chopper and fill that with 500ml water, pour in the soup, blitz for around 10-15 secs...and it is all smooth...then I pop it in the micro for around 20secs....I know others hate the soup but I must admit to liking it, but I think it is the fact it is well whisked and no lumps at all.
Lastly I had my choc one again, made exactly the same way as my first...
I have drank around 3ltrs of water, but didnt fancy any coffee or tea today.
I feel very motivated, and totally and utterly relieved to be back on LT. I am looking forward to my first WI and hoping to just get down to 11st something!!!
I am NOT craving any food at all, and yet made my husband a lovely Turkish meal tonight but it didnt bother me in the slightest that I wasnt eating.
I have had a headache all day today, but nothing that couldnt be ignored. I didnt take any medication, I just kept drinking water......
To bed and I feel so pleased that I got Day 1 over with, but I wasnt dreading it anyway!
