Happy to report I'm back to last Saturdays weight before cheat day. That is I've lost around 3kgs since starting this diet, just for the 2nd time now. I guess with 2 days left until cheat day this is a sign that things may be moving forward, and I might go down another little bit before bouncing back up after cheat day. So far no real feeling about the upcoming cheat day. It's been hectic around home with visitors, so that's not surprising, but I feel if the diet is to work, I need to be excited about cheat day and plan some bad stuff each time. Perhaps I'll put that as a test, to have a few cheat day foods on this blog before Saturday.
I also have to learn to become less obsessed about the weight itself. It should be perfectly fine to not lose weight for one or two weeks on any diet, but if you are weighing yourself every day, that's a tough two weeks. I'll also test myself to not do weigh ins until Saturday mornings. This will make it easier to get through a poor results week, rather than being upset every day of that week.
On a negative note, I slipped in a couple of extra glasses of wine 2 of the last 3 nights. I thought I'd be quite happy limiting myself to 2 glasses, but apparently not. And once that 3rd is in you, the 4th is almost automatic. This also tests the cravings, as they get stronger once your defences are down. So far so good on holding off bad food though. Need to work hard at avoiding the 3rd drink on anything but cheat night, will report back on this.
