Hi all, here I am on the end of my first day !. It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster today, mainly as I had to get up for work at 4am and then cycle to work, but all in all, I’m doing OK. I’ve had some strange emotions today, must admit I’ve been a bit irritable and at one point around lunchtime I got a little anxious which was unsettling !. Around 4pm I had a really bad headache, but that may just be tiredness !.
I must admit, I haven’t been hungry today, not once ! My brain has tried to trick me a few times, (the cheese looked rather appealing when I was making the kids lunches earlier on !),but I haven’t given in.
So, I’ve had three meals today and no snacks, this is a rundown,
Breakfast – Green juice with Kale, Spinach, frozen berries, nuts and seeds, half an avocado and some coconut water.
Lunch – A green salad with a boiled egg and sardines
Dinner – White fish and steamed vegetables
I’ve also drunk 2 1/2 litres of water today as I’ve been particularly thirsty.
I’m going to check in every day with a mini-blog, mainly for my own satisfaction, but also to help others .
Tips so far ? I’ve found chewing some sugar free gum is great for getting rid of a hunger pang, also practicing mindfullness, that is distracting myself away from silly and unhealthy food choices. I also know that I may slip up from time to time, but I’m in this for the long haul !!.
I weighed myself this morning, and after getting over the shock !! I have the following results –
Wt – 261.4 lbs
And my fasting blood sugar was 6.7, which means I’m pre-diabetic !. If ever something was going to spur me on it’s that !! Jeez, I’m only in my forties, and I’m pre-diabetic !!
The plan is to weigh myself twice a week, and check my B/S weekly.
Anyway, that’s it for now, all the best
Kev
