A little of everything!
I am ready to gid rid of this excess flab once and for all!
I picked up my packs last night ready to start this morning- then discovered I had no instructions as to how to make them! That was soon fixed after a post on here. My pharmacist was lovely. I'd explained about finding here and feeling positive that I could do this, and then we discussed what packs I'd like. I wasn't sure as I'd read here how many of you hate x/y/z so she suggested a mix of everything for the first week so at least I'd know what I did or didn't like, rather than going by other peoples tastes? Good idea I thought, so I arrived home with 6 vanilla, 5 chocolate, 4 strawberry (not keen on strawberry flavoured stuff but she persuaded me to try 4!), 2 chicken soup, 2 peanut flapjacks and 2 coconut flapjacks.
She asked me what my target was and I said 9 1/2 stone. I said that the male pharmacist I saw last week for my initial session suggested 10 stone to get me into a normal bmi range- but thats right at the high border, but I said I'd prefer to get into the low-middle of the normal range so I'd have a bit of lee-way? She was perfectly happy with that and put 9 1/2stone down on my card.
Well, I'm after having my first vanilla shake and it was.....okay. It definately brought back dodgy memories of trying CD/slimfast etc. 20-odd yrs ago, but I drank half, then used the rest as a 'creamer' in two huge mugs of tea! I think thats the way to go with the vanilla for me! LOL!
I have 3 pints of water in me already, so I don't think my water intake will be an issue?
I'm nervous, but excited to think that this time next week I may be 5lbs or so lighter? After months & months of staying the same despite eating healthy & exercising I'm sort-of expecting miracles with LT? Please God I won't be let down?
I HAVE the willpower to do this- I just pray I'll get the results!
