The first two day's I had the worst head ache ever. My head ached from the front right around to the back. Must have been withdrawing from the 'coke'. I was going to go off it gradually but went cold turkey from day 1, and I haven't had a coke since.
Lost 4 kilo's in my first week. Really pleased! Have never lost that much before in a week! Great for my motivation!
Week 2 - Went to Cob N Co for Troy's birthday. Ordered Cajun Chicken with salad and baked potato. Drunk water. The kid's ordered garlic bread but left 1/2 of it. In the old day's I would have polished it off, but I didn't touch it. Felt like it was a waste though. Lost 1.7kg.
Week 4 - Went to Dunedin for my cousin's 21st. I saved my points for the week and was lucky with the food on offer. Had a meal at the restaurant in our hotel and it was all healthy food. Couldn't help but be good. Wasn't much that I liked so ordered a salmon fillet (which wasn't that nice) and the veges were steamed brocolli, cauli and carrots. They had chunky potatoes on my plate but I only had 2 and gave the rest to Troy.
The food at the 21st was healthy as well, alot of anti pasto platters, sushi, and croissanti's with healthy toppings. Didn't have the pizza when it came around, as I knew it was high in point's. I was drinking water and decided to have 1 drink and as I was only having one I made it a good one. It was a red corvette cocktail and it cost me $14.00 but my god it was nice!! After that I waited until 1/2 price coctail hour and had a Blue Lagoon, but it wasn't that nice.
We done alot of walking that night, and the hotel we were staying in was up a steep hill, which took me ages to get up!
The next day we went to the Meridian for lunch and it took ALL MY WILL POWER not to have butter chicken. I nearly thought what the hell, but then remembered how good I was the night before and I ended up getting a Turkish Wrap instead and a bottle of water. It paid off cause my next weigh in was 2.5kg off!!
The first four week's I lost 8.5 kilo's. Enjoying my food. Cooking really nice meals. Don't know why I never ate like this before. I get up before the kid's to make myself a nice breakfast as I am always hungry in the morning.
I am trying to eat as normal as possible but changing the way I cook my food. I am changing my favourite recipies to a low fat version and if I don't enjoy it I won't have it again. This seem's to be working.
So by dining out and going away for a night you can still stay on track if you plan for it!
