Day 6 of my Optifast diet! - WOOP WOOP!
I'm almost half way there.
I've also moved back into mum's house - I've done most of the unpacking and set up my music, (bless!).
I'm almost feeling normal again after the whirlwind that has been my life for the past few weeks.
Stayed over at my brothers house last night because I gave away my bed.
The lady who picked it up gave me a bottle of red as payment which was sweet.
It was great to see my brother's kids - they are at a very cute age, 16 months and 3.5 years.
I'm trying to pump through the water because the Optifast shakes are high in protein and can push the kidneys hard so for every shake I have I have an equal serving of water.
I kinda cheated today on my diet - well I definately did.
I ate a chicken schnitzel with cheese and mayonnaise sandwich for dinner.
I was starving and caved in before I could go shopping for the remaining 8 days of the diet.
I brought frozen veggie steam bags, (for the microwave), 100gm packets of salmon and 90gm packets of turkey breast meat for my dinners.
I have enough shakes for my breakfast and lunches.
I've weaned myself off the milk in the shakes.
I've forgiven myself for initially having milk in my shakes because I don't have any other source of fat in my diet and my dietitian recommended that I cook my veggies in one teaspoon of oil for the fat content but I have my veggies steamed so I had to consume a bit of fat from somewhere and it was the milk.
I'm definitely in ketosis too so that's the main thing - I'm burning fat.
