Hi guys, first time doing this..


I weighed myself yesterday morning and I was 9.6st (134.4 lb) and am just under 5ft1". A weight I would be happy with would be around the 8st mark.

I started the 3 day diet yesterday. I'm not sure if anyone has any opinions about it; I know its faddie but my long term goals ARE long term; I guess I just wanted something to start me off.


Today started very well.

Breakfast: I egg, wholemeal toast. 1/2 banana

Lunch: 5 low fat crisp breads with cottage cheese

Dinner: 2 hot dog sausages, brocolli and carrots. Small amount of low fat icecream and 1/2 a banana


I've been having a cup of green tea after every meal and have been taking the advice given about drinking plenty of water.

I also went for a 30-45 minute dog walk today which included some steep hills, another dog walk in the evening for about 30 minutes and attempted my new Davina workout DVD (Much to my disappointment as I was really enjoying it the disk didn't work; My replacement is expected here tomorrow, no excuses eh?!)


I felt like I had done quite well. Once I've finished day 3 of the diet tomorrow I am going to be going back to small healthy meals; I have alot of rosemary connolly magazines and slimming world with great low fat recipes too. That said I found myself a little tearful tonight; I'm not sure if its related to the diet at all, I've done it before and have sort of had some weird mood crashes..


Can't wait to do the Davina Dvd tomorrow! And looking forward to making some delicious low fat meals so I don't feel so restricted.
 
Best of luck to you! I'm a bit jealous you have a dog to walk. I would even walk a neighbors dog to get a little exercise, if any of my neighbors had one. Thank goodness mood crashes are just temporary. This too shall pass ;)
 
Thanks alice! Yes I keep trying to remind myself it will pass. I guess things get harder before they get easier and nothing worth doing didn't take a little effort! I'm glad I have the dog too, its just when I have to go away to see my boyfriend who lives in the city my exercise dwindles down to almost nothing which I absolutely hate.
 
Today I started off rather well. I've been focusing on my sleep patterns. I used to be climbing into bed any time from 1am-3am. This is always worse when I stay with my boyfriend as he doesn't sleep normal hours at all, I then find it hard to get that back to normal when I come home again. Its something I get really guilt ridden about as I don't like the idea of being lethargic and sleeping through the day (As he does) So I've been in bed by 11.30-12, Up at 8-9.


Food today! I've not weighed myself, I plan on doing it tomorrow when the 3 days are officially up.

Breakfast: 5 saltine crackers, 1 cup chedder cheese (I had way less, cut into very thin strips, a cup seemed far too much plus I can't tolerate alot of dairy!), 1 apple.

Lunch: 1 poached egg, one slice of toast.

Dinner: One cup tuna, One cup cauliflower, 1/2cup carrots. 1/2 cup low fat icecream (Soya in my case and less than one spoon) two slices of water melon (It was sposed to be a cup but I couldn't manage much more) I have a green tea after every meal and have been continuing on the water.


I got my replacement Davina dvd today and it almost killed me, I swear! :blush5: There wont be alot of time to work out tomorrow as I will be looking after my niece who is about 14? months old, I'm sure she will keep me on my toes and I have shorted toning exercises I can do later on after she's gone home.


I'm finding the cravings hard to deal with and the guilt that I've always suffered from if I don't do my best.

I'm looking very forward to taking proper control of meals and whats going in me!

Thankyou for posting Crymlyn, I really need to get stricter with the calorie counting. I am considering buying those measuring portion pots and a new pedometer to keep track of what I am burning.

I'm not sure if I am allowed to mention the diet :s Its something someone told me about quite a while ago, its a very strict diet which as the name suggests only last three days, its around on google; I'm not entirely sure if its safe to be promoting but I am very glad my 3rd day is over now. I'm going to weigh tomorrow to see if there are any changes.


I forgot to add that I will totally try and look into illian Michael's dvd's, thankyou! I'll try and be more thurough in my updates with calories and my weigh-ins. No idea how this will work when I had back to the city :(
