Day two- Morning, I've woken up feeling very positive, just having a cuppa whilst the girls have their brekkie, I'm not ready for my shake yet. Half term so no rushing about, bliss. Plan of attack today is much the same as yesterday although I'm going to try pick up some boullion on my travels to give myself a savoury warm drink. Dh has hidden the scales so I can't peak this morning, I did jump on them before bed and they were saying 250.6 so that's good for the end of the first day, I usually weigh more at the end of the day than the beginning, not so yesterday. I normally weigh on a Monday but may change to a Weds so I have a full week of exante to measure.
11 am Half a strawberry shake has hit the spot, I was nervous about this one but pleasantly surprised. Not overly sweet and no big fake taste either, it's a winner. I made it a bit thinner than the vanilla and that helped too. I better pack some more tea, going back to my sister's to take my niece home and my dad is coming over too. So have plenty to keep me occupied.
5:30pm Gah I feel like crap, suddenly got spots before the eyes and feeling very lightheaded. Started whilst I'm cooking tea for the girls, I've warned dh he's cooking for the next 2-3nights as I'm expecting it to get even tougher. I drank the rest of my shake before I went out so don't have that. I had some boullion and the coffee machine is on, hopefully it'll help settle me down and I'll have some soup shortly. I forsee a very earlier night as I'm not seeing the screen properly, hope it settles down.
6:30pm Tomato & basil is pretty disgusting, I swallowed it anyway, enhanced with some curry powder. At least it's warm and has filled my stomach somewhat.
9:30pm Bit of a headache, took painkilers earlier. Had a lovely bath and blow dried my hair, felt more relaxed and the spots before the eyes went. I've made a decision to do shakes & bars now and drop the soup. So tomorrow's plan of action is shake, bar, shake. I knew it was not going to be easy and I'm really pleased that my willpower seems to be kicking, my stubborn traits do come in useful sometimes. Just having a bedtime cuppa or two and then going to try an early night. I can't tell you how sane and focused reading the diaries on this forum is keeping me.
