And I'm back

Having gone wild over the last 2 months it is time to get back on track with the diet.  Starting to eat chocolate and cakes and bread over Easter just threw me and I could never pull it back together.  I tried a few times but struggled with breakfast, which left me hungry and by lunch time the diet had gone out of the window.  Just been on holiday for a week and knew that I had to start the diet again properly, so had a little bit of a feed in with the meals yesterday and a bit of a blow out while finishing a few things off but today is where it all starts.

We hadn't totally reverted to our old ways.  We still drink mainly decaf coffee and tea, so we don't have to worry about caffeine withdrawals this time and on normal days we don't have carbs with our main meal and with it being nice weather we are eating lots of salad anyway, so shouldn't be quite so hard as before.

I do have a couple of concerns about this week.  Firstly we have a school trip to the zoo on Wednesday and I am concerned about what we are going to eat but also about how I will be feeling on day 3.  If I feel really bad a coach load of 4 and 5 year olds might not be such a good idea.  Will have to see how that goes.  Then on Saturday I am getting confirmed and I have tea with the Bishop.  I'm fairly sure that there won't be anything that I can eat, no idea how I am going to get out of that one yet but hopefully inspiration will befall me.

Breakfast has always been my problem on this diet, on phase 1 particularly.  I'm funny with breakfast and as much as I like to eat it every day I do normally have cereal or toast.  The porridge made with water is still something I really struggle with eating and I can't seem to face scrambled egg first thing.  So, this week I am going to try with cold bacon rashers and a hard boiled egg.  I can eat this a bit later if I need to or take it to work and snack on it rather than have to face it at 6.30.  I can prepare both in advance, so if I can be a bit organised then getting it ready is quick and simple.  Just hope I can manage to eat it and that it keeps me full until lunch.

So here goes:

I got weighed and I am 15st 10lb which is 2lb lighter than when I started doing it before, so haven't quite put it all back on, which is a miracle because I have gorged a lot.  I will do the same as before and weigh every day during phase 1.

Food plan for today, bacon and egg for breakfast, ham and veg sticks for lunch and pork loin and salad for dinner.

Just need to keep my head on it and try to survive the first 5 days.  Wish me Luck!
