Weigh-in today and I'm pleased that I've lost 10lbs in my first week and it's great I can start recording some losses.
The first week wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be - albeit I did have some rough days (headaches, feeling queasy - that sort of thing). I was in ketosis on day 5 (Friday), which made the first weekend more bearable. It's great knowing that I'm into fat burning mode and I've cleared my system of all those carbs - I just need to keep it clear
I'm also planning to move my WI date to Friday morning now - so I'm hoping over the next 4 days I can shift around 3lbs, which will bring me close to 1 stone in just under 2 weeks.
It's my birthday on Friday as well - so I do intend to go a little 'off plan', in that I will be going out with my DD and OH and will probs have a couple of small wines and a very small protein only meal.
I always intended to be off plan on my birthday - although I know its a bit soon, but I'm doing things the Exante way so I can get control of my eating - with the fringe benefit of quick weight losses. So I'm prepared to accept the odd slow down, as long as I can stay in ketosis.
I'm also really glad I like all the Exante flavours, including the bars - which certainly gives me the freedom of choice. I'm loving the chocolate and vanilla when 'hot'. I sometimes put coffee in them, though I find the vanilla one quite palatable when hot on its own, tastes a bit like a hot oaty drink.
The Thai Chicken is my favorite soup, and although the colour of the Tomato one looks a bit odd - it's lovely with just a dash of hot pepper sauce.
Now, onto week two
