I made a mistake on my blog yesterday. When I weighed myself yesterday morning it said 10st 2lbs and straight away I got it in my head that I hadn't lost any weight. Then I wrote my blog stating that no weight had been lost, but when I checked it to the previous days blog I had my weight at 10st 2.5lb. Silly I know, but rather than weigh myself again I assumed that my weight must have been 10st 2.5lbs rather than 10st 2lbs so I altered it. I was thinking about it all day and deep down I was sure my weight was the lower. Having now weighed myself this morning and it is 10st 2lbs, I am convinced now that I was correct.
So my weight for yesterday (Sunday 23rd September 2012) was:
Weight: 10st 2lbs
Weight Loss: .5lb
Total Weight Lost: 6lbs
Monday 24th September 2012
Now I come to today. Week 2 - day 8 of my weight loss plan. As I have just said my weight this morning is unchanged from my "true" weight yesterday so no pounds lost. My OH has also not lost weight from yesterday and that is 2 days running for him so I am moving us both to the Cruise Phase today - starting with a PP (Pure Protein) day - which is the same as the Attack Phase. Tomorrow will be nice as it will involve some "permitted" vegetables.
Weight: 10st 2lbs
Weight Lost: 0lbs
Total Weight Lost: 6lbs
Todays menu is:
Breakfast: 1 fried egg (low cal spray oil) & 3 dry fried wafer thin turkey
Lunch: Crispy ham, Low fat yoghurt
Dinner: Mustard Salmon
Snack: Oat Bran Ricotta Hotcakes served with a little low fat quark
Every day, so far, I have had no problem drinking 1.5litres of water and with other permitted drinks I am nearer to 2lts of fluid a day.
Even though it was rotten autumn weather today, rain & wind, I did get out for my walk. Now that I am on the Cruise Phase I need to do 30mins exercise a day. My Walk today was 37.51mins burning 162 calories over a distance of 2 miles.
Mmmmmm ... the Mustard Salmon was delicious will definitely have that again & I do love the hotcakes too, makes a lovely dessert.
I am still feeling no ill-effects from the diet, probably because I always drink lots of water, but I am happy that tomorrow I shall have some veggies with my meals.

As expected, my weight loss this morning was less than on my other weigh-ins, I still recorded a loss but only 3/4 of a lb, but a loss is a loss. When I stop losing weight for 2 - 3 days it's then time to move onto the next phase of the diet, which includes veggies every other day, so the slowing down of weight loss I suppose is a plus.
I had a pain in my left side last night for a while, which was quite uncomfortable (maybe I poisoned myself) I'm not actually putting it down to the diet though as I've had this pain several times in the past & although not nice I know is nothing serious.
Thursday 20th September 2012
Weight: 10st 3.25lb
Weight loss: .75lb
Total weight lost: 4.75lbs
My menu for today is as follows:
Breakfast: Scrambles Eggs (with herbes de provence & black pepper)
Lunch: Grilled chicken breast (had with my dinner though as was working at lunch time)
Dinner: Chicken Curry
Snack: 2 Pink Cheesecake Cupcakes (made yesterday), Oat Bran Ricotta Hotcakes (I can't find low fat ricotta so used low fat quark instead).
Had a 25 min walk today around my work place, it was a distance of 1.47 miles and burnt off 130 calories.
The curry was delicious and the hotcakes were lovely too. I didn't have grilled chicken breast in the end but put the extra chicken in the curry.
I'm actually enjoying this diet as I am attempting new meals, which is always a treat when you tend to cook the same things week in week out.
Yet again I have experienced no tiredness, no headaches, no irritability so all is still looking good to progress. Looking forward to the Cruise Stage as you get to eat protein one day then protein & vegetables the next, and this stage lasts until you reach your goal weight.
Until tomorrow then ...
