Hello everyone,
I hope you’ve all got off to a good start this morning π Today is my Day 1 of the BSD. I had good intentions last week and for the weekend just gone but failed miserably and decided to treat those days as a farewell to carbs by eating all the stuff I will be ditching from now on! I’m sure there’s logic in there somewhere….. π
So, today I am at work and armed with Greek yoghurt (Fage – yay!) and blueberries for breakfast and some chicken and veg for lunch. I’ve decided to give the cafΓ© and restaurant a wide berth for the time being as I typically tend to crumble when faced with an array of pastries and sandwiches, not to mention pasta and potatoes. I think my main problem will be the gap between finishing work and having dinner, as this is usually when I find myself grazing at the fridge or cupboard. I’ve got some sparkling water on hand to drink when this happens but what small, sensible snack could I go for here if I really can’t last until dinner? Would something like hummus and some raw veg be ok?
I am very determined to make this work! I am fed up with being fat and uncomfortable in my own skin. And am pretty sure I could get rid of or at least minimise the effects of a range of health issues if I can get my weight and blood sugar under control. My start weight is 17stone 3lb / 109.3kg (I’ve never revealed my weight before – arrrrrghhh!) and I would like to lose a grand total of 6 stone -obviously not all in the 8 weeks but slowly and steadily over the course of a number of weeks on this plan. I’m very inspired by the success stories on these forums so hope to become one of them soon!
Just a quick question about weighing yourself – do you guys weigh every day? Or is it better to aim for just once a week so you don’t become a slave to the scales?
Over and out π
