Just a few days ago I posted about the start of my Cambridge Weight Plan Diet Journey, and since then I have been keeping track of my daily thoughts and feelings. Now I would like to point out this is not sponsored in anyway by CWP, I pay for the service and this is my real life views of it. Mainly I decided to blog about it as when I was starting, I found it a great comfort to see what others had gone through. So hopefully I can help someone else who may be considering it, or even starting it. So let’s kick it off..
Day Four:
Woke up feeling OK, no headache, no cramp in my leg like yesterday morning. I swear I can see my stomach already decreasing, albeit slowly, and my knees do not look as fat as normal today. Even my boobs seem a little smaller. However, despite running around all morning I could not stop thinking about a cheese twist. I had to go into the supermarket for some toothpaste, and I walked straight past my favourite aisle, the bakery aisle. The lines of pretzels (rocksalt is my utter fave!) and the cheese and chocolate twists, even my beloved bagels. I got what I needed and exited, I didn’t feel any triumph baat all. But I started wrestling with my concious about if I am doing the right thing, maybe I should just go on healthy eating and exercise plan. But then on my opposite shoulder sits my little cambridge angel, telling me to remember that I want results I can see first, as soon as the next size down jeans fit I shall do the healthy eating and exercise. I had mint chocolate shake at 10.30ish and actually I feel healthier than I would normally, I am not falling asleep or feeling like I’ve worked a nightshift. Dday Four ended hard. Probably the hardest yet. It got to the evening and I started to doubt everything, I doubted my willpower, the diet…absolutley everything. I wrestled with the good and bad points, and decided that I HAVE to stick this out and see. I was nearly in tears at one point, and I sucked two mini oreos which made me sadder but tasted so good. I went to bed miserable and with a headache.
Day Five:
Woke up feeling good, decided to self weigh on my dodgy scales. They said 13 stone, I was fully dressed in fluffy pjs and heatholders socks. Without these and after a wee, I was below 13! I haven’t see that in a long while! So that made me ecstatic. I laughed at myself for the previous night and cracked on. I had a dentist appointment at 10am, and normally that is when I have my first shake. I knew I was having fillings, so I decided to have an early shake and take it with me in the car at 8am on the school run, this time chocolate with a spoonful of coffee. By lunchtime the injections wore off and I had lunchtime shake. 4pm was looming and I know I need something, i’m drinking water and still feel hungry. So I decided to revert to SS+ and having a less than 200cal meal of chicken and green peppers, with a little spice, yum! Like fajitas without the wrap (or mayo or cheese or sauce) . TBH though, I didn’t feel like I even needed it, I didn’t even finish it.
Day Six:
Woke up feeling a bit bleugh as usual, kept thinking about a bacon sandwich, dripping in butter and ketchup on white bread…hell I would even take brown bread right now! I had my shake a little earlier today, at 9.30, normally I like to string it out as late as possible, to try and help the rest be late too, can’t bear the thought of an empty belly before bed. Breakfast I tried a vanilla shake this time, but added a spoon of coffee to the water before I blitzed it up, tasted delicious! I’ve been trying to drink more today too, I don’t think I done that well on the water yesterday, and I am living by the mantra ‘The more you drink, the more you shrink!’. 1pm came and despite visiting the supermarket for supplies for the kids, I wasn’t even tempted to sniff the bakery aisle, I just look down and see my chubby legs and know it’s not the right choice. Go me! It’s almost time for my second shake, and I’m really looking forward to it as I know which flavours I adore, they feel like a treat yet have all the vitamins and nutrients I need, winner!
Tomorrow is the weigh in day! I know I’ve lost something, and I can’t wait to see how much.
