What can I say...
I'm at the end of 3 weeks on Cohens and I feel like a new woman already!
I have really noticed a difference in my
body shape and my work clothes are starting to look silly because they are too big! I don't want to buy any new clothes at the moment because they wont fit for long either! It has been really fun searching through my bag of old clothes that I can't fit into which I now find that I can. I have picked out items that I reckon in a week or so will be the right size.
I went for a weigh in yesterday because I couldn't wait another week. Ive lost 7kg already, I am so excited! And I'm planning the next 7kg. So I should be on track for my birthday in November to have completed my refeed. Its good to have goals!
On the date front...well Ive eaten out twice. It hasn't gone too badly (the eating out and the dates!!) I find restaurants will be very accommodating. But a big tip, call ahead and they will get the right food in. On a busy night everything is preprepared so they cant take the butter out of the cabbage! But if you have called ahead it is already made separate for you and there is not the big drama of looking really awkward when you are ordering. My date hasn't thought I'm too strange, and thankfully doesn't feel awkward about eating his larger portions in front of me! Actually he is rather interested in what I'm doing so all good
I have been warned I'm entering a danger zone...weeks 4 - 6. A time when things are going so well that you feel you may be able to slack off a bit....the words of advice DO NOT DEVIATE FROM THE PLAN!!!! So I shall keep that firmly in mind. And to be honest the thought of deviating and delaying the
weight loss for a week is a huge motivation to stick on track. Thats a 1.5 - 2kg set back. The sooner I can get to refeed the better!
So I am a happy bunny, 7kg down, 17.5kg to go. The lowest I have being in my living memory is 68.6kg for a brief period in October 2004. And that is only 10kg away.
I'm going back home to the UK for Christmas, I can't wait to surprise my family and friends...as I'm not telling them what I'm doing. That will be great, I've always been the
FAT ONE, ha...not any more!!!!
Well thats all for now......let's see what the scales say at Week 4!
