Second week is harder

Well as the title suggests it is week 2 and I am finding it hard :( I am just feeling hungry and fed up. I lost 7lbs in my first week and I was hoping that would drive me to have a good second week but it is still hard. Every night I can smell my daughter's dinner and then later it's my hubby's dinner and glass of wine. It all smells so good lol! I know that it will be worth it in the end but even that seems so far away right now. Maybe it'll be easier when I can actually see a difference, I don't know. I have to keep going though as I just hate what I look like. I'm hoping that I'll be feeling a bit happier in a couple of days and that it's just hormones. Must persevere!
Time for another cup of tea I think :)

It's a mystery

I'm not entirely sure how the human body does it but I've been eating between 600 & 650 calories a day since Saturday and I'm not feeling hungry. If anything I actually feel a bit bloated after my dinner lol! At the end of Monday I had a massive burst of energy and felt like I could have run around the block a few times. And then yesterday I had the come down, I was exhausted lol! I am shattered today but that is not down to the diet, that's due to being woken up at 2.30am by my sodding cough!

I did have a peak on the scales this morning and I'm already 6lbs down! Have to admit even if I did feel hungry that would keep me going. I will properly weigh in on Sunday as that's my usual weigh in morning with my hubby so I will get an extra day this week ;) Can't wait to see what the scales say on Sunday morning.

Start of the very low calorie diet

I have decided to try a very low calorie diet for a few weeks to give my weight loss a big boost. I know this is going to be hard work but I really want to give it a good shot. I have been feeling very low, I hate what I see every time I look in the mirror. I hate what my body looks like and I don't really understand how my hubby can stand to look at it (luckily he can!) So I have decided I need to do something drastic.

So far today I have had a cup of tea, a Slim Fast milkshake, a multi vitamin and 500 ml of water. I have looked into it a lot and I need to drink 3 litres of water a day so plenty more water to be drunk today! Think I may be peeing a lot lol! Apparently the first week is the toughest part but then you break through a barrier and then you feel great, so here's hoping :)

Bad Week, but there's always a bright side!

It's not been the best week this week. I have felt rotten with constipation and a bad back. I've not eaten great because of it and I have done no exercise as it's been far too cold to go walking. A week of excuses really :( As a result I have lost no weight this week. But on the plus side I haven't gained any either.

For the next two weeks I am moving over to www.myfitnesspal.com to see how I get on. If I have two good weeks I'm going to cancel my WW online subscription. I have no problem with WW at all, I am very grateful for what I have lost through the programme, I am just looking at cutting some costs. My maternity pay runs out in a couple of months so I want to try to cut out any unnecessary costs now. So I will now be counting calories and seeing how that works. Wish me luck!

My other bright side for the week was I got a new tattoo yesterday :) It hurt more than I remember but luckily it was only small so it didn't take long to do. It is on the inside of my right wrist. As I am typing this I have just become aware that he did incorporate something we had tried that didn't work where I had wanted it lol! If you look at the rose, opposite the leaf is a swirl instead of another leaf. This is a small representation of my bungee rope :) I did a bungee July 2010 to prove to myself that I could do anything I wanted as long as I believed I could, this tattoo is a reminder to keep believing!
