Week 1

Ok just home from my first meeting with the celebrity slim guys, ok  so I’m thinking, am I mad, why did I do this??? I only entered as a laugh with some people in an office I was working in, and never expected to win!

So I’m in shock having been told, I’m not allowed my normal 2 litres of coke a day, and 6 large mugs of tea….. Instead 2 litres of water.

Its now time for a last binge of nice yummy food…for me it involves a nice chocolate bar and a glass of coke.

I‘ve just told my family and friends on face book, and they have all been really supportive, even my eldest son Thomas, has been nice (very strange)

Now its time to tackle a grocery shop on line, it’ll be very different this week, my fridge will be full of fruit and veggies

Day 1

Started with a banana shake, it was nicer than expected, and a pint of water, it would normally be a huge mug of tea and some digestive biscuits, then another mug of tea! the rest of the day went well, I even cooked the boys tea with out, pinching even one chip, boy it was tough, but on the subject of the boys they have been great, they are keeping beady eyes on me making sure I don’t touch the sweetie stash ( see the photo) Also I hope you’ll all be pleased with me I’ve only had one glass of diet coke today and no tea!! So day one has gone well!  But I have to admit I feel rubbish, it started at 5pm, with a bad head ache freezing cold and really tired, and hope I feel better tomorrow

Day 2

Woke up with the bad head, but drank 2 litres of water by lunch time, had a shake and snack and felt back to normal, then as the day went on I am starting to feel great, not hungry and am full of energy, not at all tired, I’d normally be sleepy by now, so I even had the energy for some exercises tonight, hope I feel this good tomorrow, if I do it will really help me stick to it.

I have had so much support from different work places, the staff  have all been great, my Mums also started a diet, she’s going to stick to it for the full 8 weeks with me, and we’re going to go swimming together…she’ll keep me on the straight and narrow!

The rest of the week

I haven’t talked about every day as after day 2 its been pretty much the same, that is until the hardest part for me…… the weekend is here this is going to be tough, not looking forward to it, If I stick to the diet over the weekend it’ll be a miracle.

Yep it was tough, I have missed treats so much, no munchies while watching a film, although I will admit to one very naughty treat….I had a tiny bit of beef chow mien, I just couldn’t resist, but it was only a tiny bit and I felt stuffed and very guilty, but its put me back on the straight and narrow. I’m really looking forward to my food collection so  I get to pick the flavours I like, think its going to be banana, strawberry and chocolate, oh and of course the caramel snack bars.

So my first week has gone well, and I’m really pleased with how well I’ve coped, role on next week and my weigh in.
