Day 11 - Friday 18th June

Happy Friday Everyone!!

Yay, we made it through another week! Woo Hoo!

I'm looking forward to this weekend - as there is not much planned - yay! Last weekend was so busy and such a test as it was my first weekend on the program and it was really hard to be honest. I find it so much easier to stick with everything to the letter when I'm at work.

This weekend we only have an engagement party on Saturday night, but it's a drinks and finger food one so we'll eat before we go, and I can just have a diet soft drink (haven't had soft drink at all yet) and say no to nibbilies. I'm pretty confident I'll be fine with that - it's the sit down dinners at restaurants that I can't cope with. Knowing me, I'll be so busy talking and catching up with people that I won't want to nibble anyway!

So out of everything, the only thing that's really annoying me about this program is having to go to the toilet a million times a day! My goodness!! All this water! Yikes! Anyways, I guess it's all working as I still feel like a million dollars.

I have noticed a couple more changes too, I can now fit on a few dress rings that didn't fit me before and my skin is much healthier. I have also noticed that my eyes are brighter - I know that sounds stupid - but they really are!! Promise!!

I was re-reading my program again last night and realised that you can mix proteins if they are in the same group! Whoa! Excited by that little discovery that I must have glossed over! Tonights dinner was going to be a cheese treat one, so now that i know that, I think I'm going to do a baked spinach and ricotta dish that my sister told me about, and then melt some motz. onto my two crackers... mmmm... it's nice to look forward to eating something again! I think cheese is going to remain as my twice a week "something to look fwd to".

I ended up speaking to my consultant yesterday about the Curry Powder debate, she said that she personally used Clive of India when she did her program and she checked on the database for me and said that it's still fine to use that. App what we're supposed to avoid is fenugreek seads, and that's in most curries, so she said if in doubt just use Tumerick which is a similar taste.
I've decided that I'm going to give curry powder the flick, honestly, I have no idea if it will affect my weight loss or not but why take the chance? I'm not that attached to the stuff! lol

I also read the ingredients on my multi-vitamin and I think that it has added sugar, so I'm just going to scrap them too and buy the Cohen's ones. I know it's probably all small fry stuff, but why risk it when I'm sacrificing so much else?

Ok lovely people, have a wonderful Friday. Keep going!!
