Starting to Cruise!

[wendygrant]

Yesterday was 1st day of cruise. Never thought I'd be so happy to see a cauli! So, imagine how it was when hubby comes home from training and asks 'is the fresh fruit salad ready?' I love veg but I love fruit more and the smell of fresh pineapple, well, can't beat it. He's being so supportive, even eating some of the recipes, but as far as tact, subtle as a brick!!

Hey,

How are U getting on with the cruise phase? I have been doing it for about a week now and I am having the same problem as u are, my god I miss fruit.

My husband has been really supportive too but its so hard when I do the shopping as I get him fruit and all my favourite ones too but I have not had any, not even a grape.

The first day of the cruise I had a salad for lunch and it was like heaven. I did the attack phase for 10 days, how about u?

How much have you lost so far?

Overslept this morning and rushed out with only a ff yogurt for brekkie. Big mistake! PP day today so got home and wolfed down poached eggs and smoked salmon. Just getting my head back now. Won't do that again in a hurry.
Survived the fruit salad episode. Consoled myself with crab sticks
Shopping not too bad (except for the fruit ). Hubby's a sport teacher and a fitness fanatic so we never did buy much rubbish. Always made any sweet stuff myself, but I agree about the bakery smell. Living in Greece, there's a bakery on every corner so can't go anywhere without getting a waft of the goodies.
Only had to do 4 days attack which wasn't so bad. Dropped 9 pounds. Cruise now till Nov 15th. I am determined to reach target. This is the only diet I've stuck this long so things are looking good.

Men! I don't think a lot of them know what tact is (there are always exceptions to the rule though). My ds bought a massive bar of cadbury chocolate yesterday and sat and chomped through the whole thing in front of me! Luckily I have this bizarre thing where I just want to eat anything so felt nothing but it could have been hell!

Good luck for your cruise level
