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.

This is the last day of the 1st week and there was no weight loss this morning. I have been expecting this as I understand the Attack Phase lasts for between 2 - 10 day and my weight loss has been decreasing. If there is no loss tomorrow then I will start the Cruise Phase. My OH's weight also remained the same as yesterday, which is good as keeping to the same phase in the diet makes life a lot simpler when it comes to not tempting the other with the wrong foods.
Weight: 10st 2.5lb
Weight loss: 0lbs
Total weight Lost: 5.5lbs
Sunday 23rd September 2012
Todays menu
Breakfast: 2 Soft Boiled Eggs with Ham & Turkey Crispies, Cup of Tea
Lunch: Left over Chicken Breast (from yesterday), Cup of Tea
Dinner: Turkey Curry, plus Cinnamon Oat Bran Pancakes & Vanilla fat-free yoghurt for dessert.
I was actually intending to have grilled salmon for dinner, but I forgot to get it out of the freezer, so decided to have the curry as the turkey breasts were already defrosted, and I have to say probably more filling.
I haven't gotten out for a walk today, which I knew I'd struggle with, hence adding extra minutes to my walks this week, but this was really due to it raining all day and not lack of inspiration. If I hadn't done enough minutes this week I would have gone out regardless of the weather.
My footie team lost today and it would be so easy to indulge in comfort food but I have not been tempted at all or felt cravings for anything ... yet.
I am determined to lose weight and reach my goal with this diet plan and determination is the key thing when losing weight no matter what plan you are following. I am hoping to have reached my goal by my birthday in November, lets see what happens.
