Ah wonderful - blogger is working again. Could only manage the title earlier on and nothing else. Probably a darn good thing as it would have been a very long one with that old hyperdrive thing going on I think. Anyhow, we're at the end of day 2, I still have a pack to go, I feel like I've had loads as I did extra swede cubes this evening (forgot the weight is very different raw to cooked, yesterday I weighed 200g raw weight, so today I just finished the packet!).
I'm still as excited as I was yesterday, so that's two full days on the trot of feeling as determined as I did right back at the beginning. I want to bottle it and rub it all over me again if it starts to waiver. I did even have a thought tonight that it would be so much easier just to eat whatever it is I want to eat, but this is about so much more than just my weight and what I look like. It's also about what I feel like - physically - and I feel so much better with a low level of carbs. I'm really struggling with my gynae stuff at the moment (seeing the consultant in a little under 3 weeks) and pretty sure I have adhesions interfering with my sciatic nerve. The pain down my left leg goes through to my ankle on some days and at best is mightily uncomfortable. It's a whole lot worse when I eat bread, so it's plain and simple really isn't it?
I've started up a countdown to Christmas weight loss challenge at work. I was asked to do it by a few people, and it's a great focus and good practice for me to get back to my studies that I've been neglecting since my holiday. It makes me very proud to be able to give dieting advice to others, and when I stop to consider that a year ago I was so big, it really means a great deal that others look to me to seek that advice. It's a huge buzz and a privilege.
So, todays food - no imagination here - same as yesterday but with an extra 13 calories of swede!!
Actually... think I'll do a cold shake before bed rather than a hot chocolate today, ring the changes and all that...
