So pleased to be able to say goodbye to 5 pounds. I hope that it's the first of many 😇 thank you everyone your support has really paid dividends.'
I am sticking to a low crab approach as it has worked for me in the past and it means I can eat the things I like.
I am also trying something new, I have heard that research has shown that to optimise weight loss all food should been eaten during an eight hour period, so if you have breakfast at 9 you should eat your last meal by 5, giving your body 16 hours of fasting.
I have never been keen on breakfast first thing but diligently tried eating something before getting to work at 7 even if I had to force it down.
So today I took breakfast, in the wonderful new insulated container I had for Christmas. 2 eggs scrambled, 6 cherry tomatoes and 2 thin slices of smoked salmon. Yes I know that sounds very decadent but this is a change of lifestyle and I want to enjoy and look forward to my meals and by using economy off-cuts of salmon it only costs about £1.34. I had this at 10.30 and planned to have lunch at about 1.30 however things got busy and before I knew it, it was 3.45. I was going to eat but when I thought about it I realised that I wasn't actually hungry so I had a drink of water and didn't eat until I got home and cooked dinner by 6.
So the first day has been great, I just wonder if tomorrow I will be starving all day, I hope not, just watch this space and see.
