That's ok Vonnie, do you want to do GET FIT instead, one salad a day ? or do you want to leave this week hun ? Up to you ? xx

 

[Kay003]

So I'm right in thinking I should be having 1 main salad, and then salad with my other meal?

Nope hun your getting the 2 cycles mixed, for The Get Fit cycle which you are doing its 1 salad a day. Vonnie is talking about the TURBO Cycle, that's 2 salads a day. Hope this clears the confusion Jen .

Cycle: Get Fit
Day of challenge: DAY 1
Plan: Red
Water intake: 2l
Carbs: None
Body magic: 30mins gardening
Syns: 5 - chocolate digestive
Salad 1: red cabbage slaw (cabbage, onion, apple, celery) cucumber yogurt dressing, pulled lamb
dinner: grilled chicken fillet, mange tout, green beans, cabbage, carrot and turnip. Raspberries and fat free Greek yogurt

Am struggling with the water intake. Life long problem and I am in and out of the loo all day! Know its good for me so will persevere. Knowing I am being watched has kept me on track today and I feel great about it.

Will be looking out for good salad ideas from you fellow challengers.

Well done hun, that is a fab day 1 ! You've done amazing and your salad pic looks delish, I will be adding it to the photos for this week. With the water, if you find it hard to drink plain water try adding nas squash to it. You can also use herbal teas towards your water intake for the day. Also if you start the day by drinking some of your water target then as the day progresses, you will have less left to drink. Space it out evenly, that should help .

It does get easier, promise. We all feel like that at the beginning and if you read back on this thread, there are lots of jokes about even Kay moving her laptop into the loo to keep posting! I myself haven't been doing the challenge this past week, due to lots of other commitments but I've kept up with eating the salads each day as much as I can and find I really miss them if I have have a sandwich or something instead, which really really surprised me! I've also kept up with the water and its like your bladder stretches or something and you can cope with a much higher intake without *quite* as many trips to the loo.

Good luck with your week. I'm watching it with huge interest and wishing you all well

Thanks Cloudy, perfect advice xx

Hi Kay

What would you recommend carb-wise? I had planned on having a wholemeal pitta (60g) with lots of salad and a small veggie pattie made from sweet potato, chickpeas, frozen peas, courgette and onion.. Is that too much to have??
And this would not be my salad maincourse...

Thanks!

Hi I've been on a few of Kay's challenges and each time I do one I really struggle for the first few days both with trying to drink so much water plus getting rid of it (if u get my meaning!) but with me at least my system seemed to sort it out after a few days - but still cdn't be too far from a loo! Good luck!
