It's amazing what restriction can do for you. Not only physically but psychologically too. I had my fill on Monday and now, Wednesday morning, I'm already down 1.5kgs and my mind is nearly completely off food again. I had a yoghurt at lunch yesterday and wasn't hungry till dinner time! Ok, yes I may have had one or two or 5 baci chocolates but hey it was my birthday so 1) they don't count and 2) they were a gift so it would be rude not to eat them! And more importantly I wasn't hungry which I have been for the last 2 months!
GB cooked dinner for me last night - ricotta & spinach canneloni - he did such an awesome job! Actually, I'll post a pic:
To give you an idea on size. That's a side plate not a normal size dinner plate. Anyway it took my ages to eat it and I was fully satisfied afterwards. I didn't want the icecream or milo I've been having as "secondsies" the last couple of months. I did have a slither of birthday cheesecake though -
I actually only managed to eat about half this bit.
Unfortunately I did end up PBing later that night - I had excruciating back pain even though I didn't "feel" stuck. I think it was the 3 BBQ potato chips that I nicked of GB that broke the camel's back so to speak.
But it's also been great to wake up and not feel hungry! So hopefully the extra *cough* weight I've put on will come off over the next few weeks. I promise, no matter how bad it is, that I will post my weight on Friday.
Going to be an interesting weekend as we're going down to Yallingup for 3 nights which usually means lots of wine & cheese and fantastic food. But I AM going to go for a walk/run every day. I AM!
