Another 5.45am alarm, another whinge. I must learn to go to bed earlier, 5.5 hours is just not enough for me.
With the excitement of day 3 weigh in out of the way, I wasn't supposed to weigh today. But, rebel that I am, I hopped up on them there scales, there is no change today BUT I have lost a wee bit more off my waist. Result...
The morning workout today was the Jillian Michaels series on the fitness channel. I realised within moments that I'd met my future. This is far more my sort of thing than Shaun T and his insane ideas. BTB set the pace and we were rocking those moves, and by the time we were finished I have to say, I could feel it all over. But in a good way - invigorated and enthusiastic. Hot then cold shower, then downstairs for the morning gel/shake ritual. Its really becoming OK to drink the gel now, although I doubt it ill ever be my drink of choice.
Before work I set the slow cooker for another Hairy Dieter Receipe, this time the Beef in Ale casserole.
The brisk walk to the station for work found me with tired and achey legs from the workout but alert and awake. Certainly brighter than pre-detox days.
Lunch was another triumph. Sliced ham, mixed three bean salad, more cucumber, more cherry tomatoes. I was totally full about three quarters of the way in, but managed to finish it (as I know I can't fall too low beneath my calorie count) and I then stayed full all afternoon. I downed 2 litres of water throughout the day and felt great.
Dinner was good. I skipped potatoes and went instead for steamed green beans and broccolli. Again, it beat me and BF finished mine off again. At this rate he'll be the one needing to shift some pounds.
Big difference I'm noticing now is that I'm not so desperate to lay on sofa and sleep as soon as I get in. Tonight after dinner, I decided to make tomorrow night's food ahead of time to save prepping when i get in. Finally sit down at around 10.15pm. I'm no longer dreading tomorrow's alarm.
Can't wait for next weigh in and measure.
