Week Two Begins

So.... week two begins today.  My food check in for today is in a separate entry here but I thought I would post an entry once a week about progress in general and how things are going.

Surprisingly enough one week without coke and chocolate and I've not had any headaches.  It's quite common usually that when I give up coke and/or chocolate I get really bad migraine type headaches, often with nausea as I withdraw from the caffeine so it's huge that hasn't happened.  Shows what happens when you do something at the right time  I suspect.

On the whole I've not missed a lot of the things I've given up which is huge.  Obviously I've had two sausage and bacon baguettes so that's been a struggle but I've not missed pizza, and I've not really missed chocolate and coke.  I did have to resist the urge to go to the chippy on Saturday night, particularly once it was relatively late and due to things going wrong right when I'd planned to make dinner (which we won't discuss) I'd not eaten.  But I managed it.  Which is huge!

This week I need to get more exercise and actually take my supplement as well as my meds.

I'm beginning week two with a 2lb weight loss. Not the most amazing week one loss ever but that'll do - especially as I have my period now.

Diet Starts Tomorrow!

This is a new blog I've set up to use as a food journal for motivation and accountability in my attempts to lose weight.  My regular blog is A Writer In A Wheelchair but I wanted to keep this separate.

Below is the entry I just posted on that blog about my plan.

Literally this time.  I'm getting serious about my weight loss again and it all starts tomorrow.  Having tried a few weeks ago, lost 6lb in the first two weeks then regained 4 of those in the third and then gone off track majorly I'm making some commitments to myself and I'm blogging them here:

Until 1st August at the earliest I will

do some form of exercise everyday

Drink a litre and a half of water a day

take my meds and supplements daily (Meds I've had down for well over a year, supplements not quite)

And I won't have

chocolate

coke

pizza (with the planned exception of a trip out with friends which if it comes off will involve lunch at Pizza Hut)

anything from the chip shop

sausage and bacon baguettes from my grabbed from my favourite sandwich shop on my way home (or from anywhere else)
