First things first: big pat on my back! I have done 7 days, I do feel I have achieved my first milestone. I was not planning to be strict with my refined carbs, just sugar in sweet stuff. And it has worked (Ok, day 1, Saturday, was my birthday so I did have a few cocktails but no dessert so I will not be that tough on myself!).
So, this week has gone well, it wasn't too hard, except for the regular 3pm sugar craving and of course a WHOLE day on my own in the house, working from home. Usually my working from home days turn into a big sugary feast throughout the day, involving a quick spot of baking if needed.
I was sort of dreading Thursday as I knew it was a huge hurdle to go through. I decided to do some savoury baking to help me through this. And it was way too much! I made myself cheese and ham waffles, and I think I OD'ed on flour, basically.. It was not pleasant.
Today, I had cravings again, and I made myself macaroni and cheese (with chorizo). It was rather gross, the horrible feeling afterwards was not worth the carb attack.
So, I am absolutely not beating myself up, no way, I knew I couldn't do it all on week 1 but this time I want to review my carb intake so the cravings decrease too.
My plan is to make a meal plan for the week tomorrow, use the low GL cookbook and to contact my coach at Zest for life to confirm I will keep coming to the meetings.
I also want to start pictures of myself every 2 or 3 weeks, to monitor my physical changes.
Oh, I was going to forget: I'm starting Pilates tomorrow and I'm actually quite excited to think that I am going to really look after my body with this exercise. My knees and my back will thank me for it one day!
