tah dah!
i weighed myself on saturday night and the scales showed 80kg, which meant that i've lost 2.6kg. ain't bad for a week of eating right, right? then this morning i decided to hit the scales again, before i ate and did my other morning ritualistic stuff. the scale read that i was 76kg!! i wiped my eyes and looked again. the needle was still at 76. is it possible to have lost 6.6kg in a week?
like i said, i don't think i look different but the scales can't be lying right?
visited grandma today after mass and she thot that i'd lost weight and instinctively tried to fatten me up with sweets and comfort food. i resisted and hung in there. but i swear, it took every once of will power to say NO to grandma's cooking!
i'm going to weigh myself again tom morning just to be sure. i'm sceptical that way.
day 6
so i'm 6 days into the diet and hubs doesn't recognise the inside of the fridge anymore. it's full of fruit, veg, cheeses and diet sodas. he looked at me today and said, "i'm gonna buy junk food OK hon. i need to feel normal again."
i'm enjoying my diet. i thought i wouldn't but i am. i'm even enjoying cooking the meals which take all of 5mins coz of the quantity. and that's just it, the quantity is actually rather filling! who would have thot that the tiniest allowance could fill me up, but it really does! so now i'm thinking whether i've even got my diet right.
i don't seem to see any difference in my body but my clothes fit better. i'm putting off weighing myself till i hit a month down. A week ago, i weighed in at 82.6kg. can you believe it! i have to say i don't think i look 82kg but there are days that i certainly do feel the weight.
on that note, i had lunch with a colleague the other day. he asked why people always say "not bad" as opposed to "good". IE how's the soup? ... not bad. so i said (with all my literary wisdom) i think "not bad" is a notch below good. then he said, "why don't we say 'almost good'". so i said, "well it doesn't sound as good as 'not bad'"!
start point
eager to start my new diet, i went grocery shopping yesterday. took me a whole bloody hour! fruit, veg, lean meat, cheese and yoghurt. my basket has never been so full of wholesome goodness before. i was amused by the selection. when i got home, i neatly portioned all my food which was fun. then i worked on my menu and got all excited again.
today i asked hubs to take before pics of me. i wanted to use one outfit and have him take pictures of me as i progress. but he said it would be better if i did pics in a bikini. *men!* i'm very pleasantly surprised that he is being so supportive and wants to be involved. so we did the pics and one day i'll be brave enuf to share them.
here we go!
