Day Four...1st Weigh In

Hello

I lost 5 and a half pounds, which I'm very pleased about! I went for my 'pop-in' and did the pee on the stick thing to check whether your body is in the fat burning process (ketosis) which it is and it is the right colour so I'm not dehydrated. The biggest loss was 6 and a half so I feel quite good! We had to choose our packs for the next couple of days and order the packs for the next week to pick up on Thursday. I tried the St Clements (I think that's how you spell it) water flavouring and it was nice, it will be lovely in fizzy water. Quite excited for that!

So, yesterday.... I did everything on my list I set out to do but walk... I even went to ASDA with Chris and helped him with his shopping because after leaving him alone for 10 minutes, he had smart price tomato soup in the trolley and four tins of Heinz baked beans. Hmmh! For being such a clever bloke he's a bit clueless on the ordinary things sometimes. Anyway, after shopping we went to my Cousin Helen's as it is my Aunts Birthday today. We popped in for an hour to see them and it was lovely because it completely took my mind off things and they are all genuinely nice people and asked lots about the diet. Later on we watched yet more 24. (thanks Helen) If you haven't seen it then I advise you rent or buy the first series immediately. Chris and I had not watched an episode at the start of January and now we have caught up with the TV and are watching series 6 (we do have a life although it doesn't sound like we do).

Last night was a bit difficult and I had to have a little chat to myself to spur things on. I got a text off Alix who initially was my inspiration saying that this is a means to an end and is only temporary. That's a good thing to think and got me through the evening!

So, now it's 20:28 and I have eaten my first bar, we are not supposed to have it until tomorrow morning however I couldn't wait, hope it doesn't affect anything. It was lemon or should I say is lemon because I have only eaten half of it. I cut it into pieces and arranged it on a plate to make it look better.... I still have 2 litres of water to go as I'm managing 5 litres a day instead of 4. I also must be the cleanest person in Cramlington the amount of baths I'm having!!

Hey ho, that's all for now, Chris has just shouted 'are you avoiding me' and I need his support so don't want to pee him off!! I made him a salad this evening and put his jacket potato in the oven and tidied up and run him a bath for coming in from his run, see I was motivated by my loss..

I'll keep you posted :)
