Today was probably the hardest day so far in the preparation stage on Optifast… Everywhere I turned there was temptation. In the McCafe at work they had Caramel Slice, among other usual fare, including coffee… You may say don’t go there, but it’s in the Level 3 Kitchen area where the fridge and water is so it’s impossible to avoid… I avoided the slice and coffee, for a cup of hot water for my tea…
This afternoon we had a demo of equipment at Jones bay, and yes you guessed it, it was catered for… I was good and had my celery, tomato and Optifast bar before I arrived, so I just sat on the Pierre water for the day and gave the biscuits a miss…
Nearing the end of day 3, I thought by now my energy levels would have been starting to fade, but amazingly they haven’t… I’m doing everything normally and am feeling good (able it a little hungry) but that’s’ good right?
I’ve already gone in a belt notch to stop my jeans sliding down… which is a good feeling so far… Plenty more notches to go in though…
When I got home, Scott was tucking into one of my favourites, bolognaise pasta bake… The house smelt wonderful, the smell of real food for the first time in a week… If only I could just have a little bit… It was SOOO tempting, but a little bit turns into a bigger bit and then a whole serve… Soon I’ll be able to have this again, albeit in a smaller portion and not feel guilty about it. Tonight I was content with my sautéed three mushrooms, zucchini and chocolate shake for dinner…
Tonight for the first time I actually felt hungry later in the evening… It could have been so easy to have a bit of the bolognaise or one of the fresh bread rolls, but no – I went for a raw mushroom and an earlyish night
