Well couple hours before bed, I seemed to have survived the first day of Optifast.
I started with my Coffee shake, not as nice as the Tony Ferguson Shakes but its ok. I actually love the convenience of breakfast shakes, I can drink it, its done, then I can go on with dealing with the tribe. Feeding time at the zoo!
Also had a cup of tea with a equal sweetner, I had actually cut out my sugar in my tea about 3 months ago, at the same time I cut out coke. So pretty used to that.
I then had a big glass of water.
Well you all know what comes next after all that liquid, so many trips to the loo and its not even 7.30am! lol
The rest of the day was pretty non eventful, I have very slow internet usage at the moment as I had gone over my limit. (Since the iphone this seems to happen alot!) So couldn't kick anyones butt at Bejeweled or enter any competitions.
Lots more water, a couple more shakes, chocolate this time, blurgh!
Did a special photo for a friend who sadly lost her 1 day old baby boy 12 months ago (it is his birthday today), to remember Connor friends and family were asked to take a photo of his name in some way. The photos she has received so far are just beautiful. He will definately not be forgotten.
It rained all day also so was stuck inside with Danni.
Took my before shots last night! If ever you want a big dose of reality, get someone to take a photo of you from behind!!! I need to find a WIDELOAD sign to carry around! Not ready to share them yet! (Yes I hear your sighs of relief lol)
This morning I took my measurements. So those weeks I don't lose on the scales, I can see if there are any differences in measurements.
I am getting a bit worried about how to eat my vegies and salads etc each day, I am sure there are only so many stirfries a person can have!
I made a big batch of Julie Goodwins Chicken Winter soup minus the chicken. Also made a chicken stir fry minus the chicken for me! Jase just smiled and said it was delicious! God love him lol!
I can't have any protein at all, all the protein is in the shakes. So I am finding it hard to think of ways to make the vegies nice.
Oh and why is it as soon as you can't eat things, you have it shoved in your face all day! Ads on tv, only shows to watch on tv are cooking shows. People infront of you in the supermarket que are making homemade pizza's for dinner. Then they stand there and talk to the cashier about it for the next 45 minutes while you stand there trying to refrain from jumping on that conveyor belt and diving headfirst into the cabanosi, salami, ham, bacon, olives, sundried tomatoes and cheese! Oh and did I mention they talked about it for 45 minutes! Listen lady, I started a diet today, I am hungry, lethargic, hungry and ready to rip the head off the loaf of bread in the person behind me's trolley! Take your chit chat somewhere else sweetheart!
"hi how are you today" says the cashier , finally after she has remembered she is being paid to actually work and not socialise.
"oh I am good thanks" says me the gutless (well not really, big gutted) bloody hungry right on the edge (I'm a donkey on the edge) who is too nice to tell her what I really think!
Oh and bloody hell vegetables are expensive!
Tomorrow is another day. I am taking this one day at a time.
I had a friend share with me a quote that I found quite profound for me.
~We all have the power to make wishes come true..as long as we keep believing~
well done tracey, loved the blog and will continue to share your journey. I've also taken the step to lose some weight, I'm doing the Super Slim method, so far so good, but I have to admit I have still had my glasses of wine and my bourbon. I'll try to cut back, but too hard at moment. The water drinking is the hardest thing for me, I just don't like water in great quantities. Anyway, I'll be watching in earnest and perhaps you will be my inspiration babe. Vicki P
