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 ....

I was pleased with how my first day went and woke up feeling positive that I can keep it up.
I weighed myself this morning and was pleasantly surprised to see my weight had dropped by 2lbs, however I am not getting my hopes up of a trend as this could just be normal fluctuation in weight that I experience most days ... but you can't help but hope this diet is working.

I managed a walk today of 18 mins 19 seconds which was .83 of a mile, burning 67 calories. Although not the full 20mins, I'm happy as I did 14 extra minutes yesterday. I did drink my litre & a half of water yesterday and am on target to do the same today, like I said in my last blog drinking water is not a problem for me, it's mostly all I do drink.
So far I am not experiencing any adverse affects which I have read you may experience with this diet. I do not feel hungry, I am not irritable, I am not tired, in fact I feel perfectly normal. Time will tell if I feel like this by the end of the week.
Apparently my body is now in ketosis and therefore using fat to produce my energy, rather than carbohydrate. If there is low fat in my diet then my body will pull on my fat stores, hence I lose fat and the pounds.
