Day Two!

FEELINGS
Feeling a bit better today than I did yesterday. Rather than thinking about food the second I woke up, I instead thought about which shake I was going to have! All together now... PROGRESS!! Yesterday was a Bank Holiday so I found it much harder being at home with nothing to do but wait for my next meal - it is definitely easier being at work now with things to do. I am actually feeling quite positive and starting to look at myself like a project - whenever I pass a mirror I can't help but look at my wobbles, it is strange, but I want to really know how I look now so I can see the changes happen. On Atkins I didn't real feel much slimmer, but then I didn't truly study myself - I really lost weigh blindly, and didn't appreciate the new slimmer me while I had her.

Miguel is being really supportive which is sweet. He did slip up yesterday and said I should have some candy to take away the flavour of the horrendous chicken soup - but aside from that he has been an angel at not mentioning food and telling me I can do it, and I am strong enough for this. I am very happy I've got him to vent to - despite the fact he is in Mexico and I am here in the UK... sob! :o(

BODILY BITS
One thing I have noticed today is the horrendous tummy rumbles... my colleague who sits on the other side of the office even heard one of them, and it lasted a full 8 seconds non stop! Felt amazing!!!! Ha ha. I am hoping to go to the cinema later this week, so I hope it calms down a bit!!

FOODPACK FOCUS
Brekkie - decided to try the banana, blended with ice cubes for breakfast, which was yummy! Thank God! The only down side was the fact that I had banana 'repeating on me for most of the morning!! Haha. I was tempted to throw some caramel in with it for a Banoffee type flavour, but wasn't too sure how long you can leave open sachets for in the cupboard, and didn't fancy the rest of the caramel today (in fact, must check that out - note to self). I will do my best to stick to one flavour at a time to start with, until I know what I like and don't like.

Lunch - I brought my stick blender with me to work so I could blend my soup. I was very very worried that it was going to be revolting (yesterday's chicken soup is still giving me nightmares), but I am proud to announce that the vegetable soup was scrummy!!! Next time I'll probably add more water to make it go even further!!!! I put quite a bit of black pepper on it, and it almost tasted like a proper soup. YEY!

Snack - Mushroom soup with extra black pepper... not too bad!

Dinner - Vanilla shake, mixed extra thick with ice - like a Macdonalds milkshake. Yummy!

So, so far I have had Vanilla, Banana and Vegetable that I like... and only chicken that I don't. I won't include chocolate on my hate-list yet, although the 'muffin' I made last night was repulsive and is currently sat in the kitchen bin!! I will give it another go as a shake with some coffee and ice I think - a Lighter Life mocha!

WATER WATCH
This will be a regular thing in my blog... as water is quite key in Lighter Life... and it has always been the thing that I am useless at. I could probably work quite well as a camel in my spare time! I managed to force down 2 litres yesterday which was a real mission and I am not sure how I am going to manage twice that each day. I brought a 2 litre bottle with me to work today, and I will have it finished by 5pm, so that is good - and I will do my best at another big bottle tonight, but I will be happy if I do 3... I am certainly not feeling dehydrated, so it's fine.

LOO FUN! :oS
Another regular installment in my blog will be a slightly cringey section dedicated to any strange happenings in this department (not too graphic don't worry!)... today I have found I have been going to the loo A LOT! I think at last count I had had about 8 pees! Ha ha ha. Ooh, need to go again! :oS

************************

OH MY GOD! It is nearly midnight but I just HAD to share this!!! I have just weighed myself and I've already lost around 5lbs!!!!!!!! It is quite exciting because when I had my meeting on Sunday night I thought I was going to weigh in at around 16st2lbs (according to my scales) but her special ones put me at 15st13lbs... and then yesterday night I weighed myself after only one day and it was 15st10lbs on MY scales... and tonight it is 15st8lbs! WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe this is actually happening! Talk about a big smack of incentive around the chops! YEY!

Ok, night!!! :oD
