My Cambridge Diet Journey

Have spent the day in bed with terrible cramp. Didn't feel like eating anything, just had a breakfast shake (heated) and then a little water throughout the day. TOTM means I'm retaining water too - just perfect for my weigh in at 7.30!

Went along anyway and I've lost 3.25lbs - not bad and still on target for my average of 4lbs per week.

Back to work tomorrow.

Got ready for work today and pulled on a blouse that used to be a little 'clingy' around the middle! Not any more! I'm still big, but I can certainly feel that I have more room in my clothes. It feels great and has spurred me on to keep going! No one has noticed that I've lost weight yet - hopefully by the end of the week this might change.

I'm 40 on Thursday. All of my family are coming down from Scotland at the weekend and we are going to a posh restaurant on Saturday. I have always known that I would be eating that day. At the moment I'm torn between eating all day, or just waiting until the meal on the evening. I think I'll wait, just in case I get an upset stomach after not eating for so long. Of course, I'll be cooking most of the weekend for my family, lovely smelling foods like bacon (yum) so I'll really have to be strong.
