I needed a bit of self inspiration today to do my walk, I couldn't get out this morning as I was working, that brought me to my lunch time and then I had to wait a while to let my food go down, finally I went for my walk. After doing so much more yesterday it would have been so easy to say to myself "you've done enough for the week" but I didn't and I went out. My walk was 2.02 miles, burnt 155 calories and took me 35mins.
I weighed myself this morning but there was no change in my weight, however my OH lost another 0.25lb so nothing to stress over.
Today is another PV day & this is what I've eaten
Breakfast: Herb Omelette, Cup of tea
Lunch: Left over Shepherds Pie from Wednesday
Dinner: Chicken Curry, onion & red pepper (with Curry Sauce) & Cauliflower "Rice"
Snack: Oat Bran Cookies
I am amazed at how good I feel most of the time, I've only had one day of tiredness, which I don't relate to the diet, I've not suffered any headaches, constipation or any other potential side effects of this diet. I still make sure I get through 1.5 litres of fluid a day, which is mostly water but sometimes its a cup of tea or a diet coke or something similar.
So have any of you readers of my diet blog considered trying this diet yourselves? Feel free to leave a comment and let me know how you're getting on.

It seems odd not to weigh myself in the morning after doing it every day for a week, feels sort of wrong, but I'll get used to it.
Yesterday was lovely having vegetables with the meals but today is back to a P (protein only) day.
Wednesday 26th September 2012
Menu for today:
Breakfast: Scrambled Egg & Crispy Ham, Cup of tea
Lunch: Grilled Trout with Herbes De Provence
Dinner: Garlic King Prawns
Snack, Oat Bran Cookies
I was going to have poached egg for brekkers but had 4 egg yolks left over from dishes I'd cooked where it only required the egg white, so thought I'd use them up this morning & had scrambled instead.
I took my walk just after I'd finished with my morning clients whilst I was in the momentum of working hard, if I'd sat down at that point I'm not sure I would have got up for a while. The walk today took 35 minutes 21 seconds and burnt 159 calories over 2.01 miles. Although its a walk I do frequently I decided to walk through the park on my way back, for a change of scenery.
Everything on the menu was eaten today, however not all by me. I do not like prawns at all. I did attempt one, I even tried frying a couple but I still couldn't eat them. My OH was unconcerned as he loves tiger prawns, as does my daughter who has nabbed the leftovers for a prawn mayo sandwich tomorrow. However I did buy much larger trout fillets this week and so my grilled trout with herbs was quite substantial ... for now.
I have still had no adverse effects and have to say I don't anticipate any now. Looking forward to my chicken casserole tomorrow - ooh that reminds me I'd better get the chicken out of the freezer ....
