Well I've now finished my 7 day attack phase and I've lost....
8lbs!
I know this is mostly water weight, but I've never lost that amount in the first week of a diet (not even Atkins) so I'm very happy!
Now here's the problem....
Tomorrow I leave for a 3-day luxury hotel break that has been booked for 6 months as a special treat for me and my bloke on his birthday. The break includes 3-course dinners on 2 nights in the price so I'm going to have to deal with that.
So could you ladies help me with a game plan here? I don't plan on being 100% on track because it's not realistic for a special occasion but I'm going to make the 'better' choices. My plan is to skip puds and go for the 'plainer' main course choice - if there's meat/fish dishes I'll go for those and tell them to skip any potatos, creamy sauces, cous cous/rice/pasta etc.
I fully expect, coming straight off attack, that I'll put a few pounds back on from the 'shock' so here's my big question....
When I get back, should I do a few days of attack again to balance out the experience, or should I just keep trucking on with cruise?
Any advice appreciated
