Day 2, and I lost 3lb on day 1. Yay! Pleased with that.
I was tracking what I ate on My Fitness Pal yesterday (to make sure I stayed at/under 20g carbs) and I was interested to see that despite big meals I came in under 1,500 calories for the day. I had scrambled eggs with avocado for breakfast, salmon with a huge salad dressed with olive oil for lunch, and sea bass with vegetable/peanut/coconut stir fry for dinner.
I did feel hungry though, as my stomach got used to a post-Christmas new normal that doesn’t involve biscuits, chocolates and mince pies every 20 minutes.
Hopefully that will clear in a couple of days of eating healthily.
I’ve decided to stick to this for 12 weeks. Long enough to make a real difference, short enough that I can see the end of it. Then I’ll reassess and maybe switch to something else if I’m getting bored. I know that I certainly won’t have shed the 10st I need you to lose in just 12 weeks. Although it might be possible by the end of this year if I’m really dedicated and stay away from the doughnuts.
