Day 1 - hungry but determined.

Stomach feels flatter.... but that maybe because there is nothing in it!

Feel hungry - not eating carbs is so... unsatisfying. However, rest assured that when I am feeling hungry, my body must be burning something - so if there's no food/carbs in me, it must be fat right??? right???

hum.

Thank the gods for Coke Zero - a legal sin.

Stuck to the plan today -

vanilla shake for breakfast

piece cheese and slice of ham for snack

iced green tea (homemade with no cal sweetener)

caramel shake for lunch

boiled egg for snack

coffee (Lfat milk) + strawberries

sml tin salmon + cup of tea

pork and vegies for dinner

whittakers choc almond bar

ok... the end was a bit dodgy, but I chose the smallest bar I could with the most nuts. Hey, it's mostly almonds really, right??? right???

you can see when I get the nibbles - after lunch before dinner (bout 4pm). But I stuck to it - I'm proud of myself.

The incredible shrinking woman!

Ok, so something happened today that I really can't explain. I mean I can, but not really. First of all, I have been drinking these shakes called Celebrity Slim for lunch instead of a sandwich or whatever.

Let me just state here for the record, that I am TOTALLY sceptical that these meal replacement shakes work. I mean, really? And even though I probably do need to shed a few kilos, this is not the main reason that I have been taking these shakes for lunch.

The main reason is, Couch-ites, that I'm just incredibly lazy and cant be bothered making myself a decent lunch. And hey - I'm a teacher: So it's like "What lunch-break?". I never have time to sit down to a proper lunch, so I thought, these are yummy, and you just add water, and at least I wont be hungry. And I just take a yoghurt and some fruit to snack on.

BUT. Here's the thing: Today I put on this vest I wear riding my horse, and it's usually a bit snug, but it's thick, so... whatever. And today...

ZIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPP!

The zip slid straight up, and it was - get this - ROOMY! Um, what the...? I actually took the vest off, shook it in puzzlement, and put it back on, just to make sure! Sure enough: ZIP!

I might be onto something here - and I'm not even having the shakes twice a day like it recommends! I'll let you know how it goes...
