Day 3
The journey continues…
Woke up feeling really empty, this is obviously going to be my ‘thing’, I have to be careful I don’t make bad choices in the morning, so today I had a pint of cold water as soon as I got up, it seems to do the trick, until I get myselg organised with breakfast !.
I’ve been feeling a bit ‘lost’, I suppose it’s the sugar withdrawal ?, I also feel a little lightheaded but I’m sure that will pass.
Food diary for today –
Breakfast – Weekend ‘treat’, so scrambled egg (1 egg) and a rasher of bacon
Lunch – Green salad with sardines, cottage cheese.
Dinner – A Sri Lankan lentil sambar, ready meal from Waitrose as I’m working, oh with some veg as well.
At 9pm I had the major munchies, so i made a bovril drink, which is going to take me a while to get used to, but seemed to take the edge off my hunger !
I hope it’s ok to keep a diary like this on here, It feels good to write down my day and highlight any thoughts !
I slept like a baby last night, I normally wake up a few times during the night, but slept right through and felt really rested when I got up, also apparently my snoring has improved (says my wife), so long may that continue !.
I’m also chewing gum, but I don’t want to carry on for too long because of the artificial sweeteners in it, and we all know how bad they are for you.
It’s becoming very clear to me that the secret above all else, is drinking loads of water. It just works, simple. I’m aiming for 2-3 litres a day.
Final thought ? I’m going to start HIIT exercise on Monday morning as I have a home gym with a bike on a turbo trainer, so I’m looking forward to that.
Goodnight all.
