Saturday 9th Feb - Day 4

Ok its day four and miraculously my scales show another 3lb loss... total of 13lbs!
Was 14,2 last Tuesday evening now 13,3 on Saturday morning...

It is now my totm so I guess some weight would have been from this and I also have quite bad water retention when i eat junk (ie the lead up to day 1...).

But wherever the weight has come from I am not going to over analyse this but just consider it a huge step towards my goal. I shall be in the 12's in no time.
Hoping to get to 13,2 for weigh in on Tuesday, then 12's for the week after.

I am not disillusioned into thinking that all my weight will come off as quickly BUT i will keep up with the diet and am even drinking DOUBLE the water I should be (CD recommend 2.25l but i drink 5l) and hope for the best.

Read a fab thing yesterday which would have helped me many a time on previous diets. I read that when you hit a 'plateau', ie a week with no loss despite being angelic, you will still lose inches but the weight could be slight water retention! Well if i had known this years ago i may have stuck to 'all' the diets i have tried before and given up after a 'no loss' week. Oh well, live and learn.

Yesterdays tea was a ready made choc shake and was DELICIOUS! Shame the carton is only 200ml as i wanted to drink my 2nd one too :-(
Went bowling and managed to drink 3.5 large (almost pints) of water so this took me up to just over 5l of water.

Am just starting on today's water, havent had a shake yet. Gonna try and wait til a little bit later. Not hungry at all, despite not eating for 3 days. Weird!
I am ketosis now (confirmed this by doing a urine testing strip). So all withdrawal symptoms should be long gone now :-)

Need to contact counsellor to swap some shakes/soups. Its funny because the flavours i got most of (thinking i'd love them) are the ones I dont like. The leek & potato and vanilla are going back!

So now I am going to spend the rest of today drinking water. It is worth not going shopping as the results I am seeing are keeping me so motivated. Heres to another day!
