Slimmingworld Day One proper

Ok, this is it now. I'm sticking to this one. No more fannying around, Ramage.

Was soooooo amazing to get up and have a luscious cup of tea this morning :-)

Will have to count the milk (healthy extra A allows you 350ml of skimmed milk i think). I'm gonna do this properly from today and count and weigh EVERYTHING.

Right, better get some work done.

More later,

Day 3

Feeling much more settled now I've decided to switch to SW... I've lost that anxious 'what am I going to do when the chorizo runs out' feeling. Thank fuck.

Can go to bed tonight happy in the knowledge that I can wake up to a nice cup of tea and a (carefully measured) bowl of porridge. What larks!

Great doing the same plan as vaughan... We can have confessionals again after work every night 'forgive me father, for I have synned'. He always beats me though and has enough syns left for an ultra-smug cup of options hot chocolate at 9pm. Bastard.

We're having a competition - whooever loses the least each week has to do the dishes for the whole of the following week. Might have to slip a few teaspoons of lard into his dinner if he starts winning all the time though ;-)

JK of course...

Day three carbunfree

I've gone off the rails.

Just been to tesco and bought strawberries, peaches, grapes and BANANAS.... Soooooo carbtastic and mr atkins would NOT approve. But these are all free on slimmingworld :-) waaahoooo!!

Grapes taste like sweeties. And I feel NAUGHTY.

Not sure what I'm having for tea yet, but I know it isn't going to contain cream or butter. Just loads of lovely veg and lean meat and beautiful, beautiful RICE. 

Vaughan's very relieved I'm not doing atkins anymore. He says cos he thinks it can't be good for me, but I can't help thinking that it's cos he can't stand another night sleeping next to the breath monster.

And the thought of making his own tea...

Slimmingworld rocks. (For the next 2 days anyway).

Day Three

Oh and I forgot to mention this ridiculous banging headache which I've had sinvce yesterday and woke up with again this morning!

Day Three

I've gained 2lb! Arg! I'm not surprised with the amount of fat I've been eating. Thought it was a bit too good to be true!

Scared to carry on now... What if I keep gaining 2lb every day?!

Really don't know what to eat today now.... Vaughan told me yesterday that my breath smells like bacon that has been left out in the sun :-(

Plus, making tea last night was a nightmare cos vaughan can't eat oil, cheese, butter or meat over 5% fat on his plan, so my moussaka was really bad for his diet. Don't want to have to cook two different teas every night, so might just switch back to slimmingworld, which tbh, feels soooooo much healthier.

Maybe if I do slimmingworld and ride my bike every day I'll lose weight?

Just gutted about the £90 I spent on food. I won't be able to eat any of it on SW. I'm just gonna have to freeze it and get it out next time i have a cheese and wine night with the girls.

The thought of eating meat and eggs again today makes me want to puke anyway.

Ok, back to healthy fruit and veg and pulses and lean meat :-) Yay! That  feels so much better already :-)

Will continue blogging I think... It's good to keep track, and adds a bit of accountability... I won't go scoffing cakes if I know I have to tell you lot (that's if anyone is actually reading this which is unlikely).

Peace out

Day two 6.45pm

Is it REALLY only day two? Ffs

Just had the moussaka which was DELISH :-)

Still got a banging headache... Can practically hear my fat cells popping! Belly is still big and bloated.. So there goes the wheat/bread theory... Its clearly just fat. Great.

Got roquefort and chorizo to snack on later if i get hungry.

I still really want a nice cup of tea.

Day two 3.30pm

So much for 'lunch'. Was starving so just had 4 ready cooked chicken thighs and a bit of roquefort.

Head is starting to bang... Apparently that means the 'ketosis' process is starting... So all my nasty fat cells are currently imploding - worth having a headache for i think. 

Need to guzzle more water - have only had one bottle today. (Supposed to be drinking 8 glasses). Have had 2 massive cups of tea but according to mr atkins that doesn't count towards it.

Guzzle guzzle.

Looking forward to mousaka later.

More then,
