So I met my counsellor this morning and received my first set of Cambridge Diet soups and shakes so I decided that I will now start my diary of my experiences whilst on this diet. I will be posting all my random musings here.. my ups and my downs of this diet. I will keep this updated so hopefully I can use it to look back on in the months to come.
Day One - January 9th 2009
[Diet - Sole Source]
[Start Weight - 19st 5 Pounds
[Current Weight - 19st 5 Pounds]
So I officially started today yay =) I had a bit of a blow out Friday night just to get all that binge eating and drinking out of my system... yes it might have messed up my initial start weight but I felt happier having that 'Last Supper of Junk' so to speak.
I have so far had 6 Pints of water and can easily get in another one before bedtime. I think I will have no problems keeping up with my water intake as I don't find water that bad really. My CDC counsellor was lovely, I told her all the reasons why I wanted to do this and I told her that I appreciate a tough love approach, which she definitly provided haha.
I decided to choose the Fruits Shake, the Choc and Choc Mint Shake, The chicken soup and the veg soup. I did not opt to get everything as I figured I would rather go for flavours that I know I will stomach and will like rather than having a range. I am not too bothered about having the same things over and over again as long as I like the taste of them that's all that matters haha.
I am only in day one but i don't know I am starting too feel a bit different. I have felt very cold this afternoon, I have a mild headache that goes after I drink water, and I have been rushing the toilet all day haha. Now this isn't to say that my body is starting to change into ketosis already cause I doubt that after 1 day. But at least I can be aware of what to expect as the days pass on...
I was going to wait and start the diet on Monday, as when I am in work I will be too busy to be focussing on food.
However, I figured if I can last a weekend on day 1 and day 2 and still stick to it 100% then I can prove to myself that I am here for the long goal... and that I am not going to quit I am off to have my 3rd soup in a second.. chicken and mushroom yay ^^. I am still very motivated and I just hope that day 2 and day 3 won't cause me too many problems
