Sorry for only updating now but this week has been crazy! I woke up Tuesday morning feeling great & happy so far with the progress to the 'New Me' we had a house full of kids with great treats all over the place temptation was high but as the good girl I went for the fruit :-) whhhoo whhhooo day 2 was great & I thought the next day would be even better!!!!!
Wednesday morning, My eyes are swollen my body hurts & I it feels like a truck hit me I have a temperature of 38.4 & am very very cold - All I want is comfort food. I decided to weigh myself feeling positive about the results. As I stepped on the scale my worst nightmares where confirmed in under 2 days I picked up 2kg :-( what happened??? I sat down feeling emotional crying & trying to accept the facts. I text my mom & best friend, both of them came up with the same answer WATER RETENTION it was an answer I was more than happy to accept!
I looked back at the past 2 months & everything that has changed in my life from eating to new medication to just my state of mind & started doing some research on water retention, the pages were ongoing & I found out that you can store up t0 10lbs (pounds) of water in your body. That was it the answer to everything. In under 2 months I had picked up 7kg & in under 2 days 2kg :-( I stopped all the tablets I was taking (calcium / multivitamin / Pro biotic / Alli) for 2 days now & I weighed myself this morning weighing 85kg, 3kg down from yesterday :-) I see the light now & I feel hopeful once again to loose these extra pounds.

Day one: Over
I am tired not because I had such a busy day but because I am tired of thinking about food & what I can & can't eat! Wanting to loose weight is like having a 9 to 5. I am doing more reading & counting that I ever did in school, so they weren't lying you will need maths for the rest of your life :-) & what may you ask am I counting well calories of course. The all important number now in my life is 1640 the amount of calories per day I should have to loose weight.
At first it sounded allot but for someone like me who loves the fine art of dining it was like breaking up with my boyfriend or half of him anyway! My heart longed for sweets, crisps all the things I was not allowed to have but then again I got over the last relationship pretty fine so this should not be that hard a bit teary at times but to be expected. I received my order conformation of the Magical Supplement & it should be here in about 5-7 working days in Diet terms to bloody long to WEIGHT for.
My day started off with a bowl of oats my mid morning snack was a yogurt lunch was a fabulous tuna steak with veggie salad mid day snack a banana & for dinner veggie soup with a slice of wholegrain bread with no butter & to top it off 8 glasses of water with lemon juice. I did a half hour at the gym with vigorous training with the devil ( trainer) but was told I burnt at least 200 calories. My hopes are up, there might be help out there for me. Besides that I am feeling alright. I am trying to keep busy with ironing & the worst ever hobby to take up whilst on a Diet 'perfecting your baking skills' yes I did & I did not lick the spoon :-)
This is only day one & I feel like this already how will I feel in one week?

Monday 10 Aug 09 "Tomorrow"
Good morning everyone! or is it really? I woke up this morning & to my surprise I am not any thinner but still the same weight as Yesterday & Thursday the day of tragic realisation. I spoke to my mom & best friend last night to tell them all about what happened & of course to justify the number '86' & I soon realised that I was only making excuses (water retention, I eat healthy, my clothes still fit). Well it is "Tomorrow" my mind is set & I am ready to take on the challenge all 86 of them :-)
I took the next step (1): Joining my local Fitness First centre & got myself a trainer! (2) I ordered the Magical Supplement ( not going to give it away just yet, lets first see if it is magical) but with all healthy eating plans or DIET should we call it you can't only take the Magical Supplement you need to combine it with healthy eating & regular exercises. (3) Last but not least the Food Journal, the last time I kept a journal I was 10 writing about the boy I fancied in school :-) & all those secret things you do not want your parents to find out about. So here we go my very own Food Journal ( no more a secret but for all the world to see)

Diet Success (To Be)
Sunday 9 Aug 09:
I found out Thursday that I now tip the scales at 189lbs (86kg) & let me tell you a number I never thought entered the weight category, but it did & it entered my category.
I am depressed but even though the number 86 goes around in my mind over & over again I still stuff my face with treats!!!! Is this normal? I should be feeling mortified at the idea of eating but yet every time I find myself thinking of how much I weigh & how depressed I am about it I just eat.
But not for long!!! I have decided to take control & do something about this number '86' All starting tomorrow :-) a word very commonly known in the 'diet world', if only we could all wake up tomorrow & find ourselves a few pounds lighter then tomorrow would be a great day to start!
