BREKKY: CHOCOLATE MINT SHAKE
LUNCH: VANILLA SHAKE (with hot water and a shot of decaf coffee- like a latte, yum!)
DINNER: CHICKEN & MUSHROOM SOUP


I didn't end up starting the Cambridge diet until yesterday because I got a bug the previous day. My kids have one by one gotten a 12 hour bug of vomitting and upset tummys. My turn was bound to come and so yesterday was my day one.

So my first weight in showed me at 18stones 5lbs

Im so massive!! Not for long though...grrr!

Well the day started ok. Throughout the day I drank 9 pints of water and it did filled me up. I didn't feel hungry once. In fact, I felt quite the opposite! bloated and full allll day long. YAY!

I have to say, I struggled to have the soup because I was so full. The very best thing about all of my first day was how full I was and how delicious the shakes and soup were.

I've been on lipotrim before and the shakes were disgusting and very limited in flavours. There are so many flavours of soups and shakes with the Cambridge Diet so I am very impressed. If the others are as delicious, I will be on cloud nine! hehe.

The downside about today is I got a bit lightheaded and shakey at some points of the day. By the evening I had a headache which was a shame because I couldn't enjoy my sons school play as much as I wanted to.

I did get to catch up with my friend while I was there though. Shes been on lipotrim for 3 weeks and has lost 2 stones 6 lbs in that short time!! She also had more energy than I have seen her with before. She was positively bubbling over!

I found that encouraging. I sat with my headache watching her chat away all hyper and thought to myself, "ketosis is only a few days away...then i will have that energy too"

Lastnight I felt exhausted. Really really "done in". I lay on the sofa with a blanket and pillow and fell asleep quite early. Hubby dearest said I looked so deep in sleep he didn't want to disturb me by sending me to bed. Im betting he just wanted to stretch out on the bed though hehe. I did have the deepest and most satisfying sleep than I have had for a long time. I don't know if that has anything to do with the first day of the diet but it was really nice. I feel so refreshed today. i ALWAYS wake up tired so I feel great today.

I fully intend to weigh only once a week BUT this morning I really couldn't help myself. I popped on the scales and I am at 18 stones exactly. I have lost 5 lbs overnight!!!!! Unreal!
