The first weekend…

This weekend could be interesting, but I’m feeling positive… I weighed myself this morning and I have dropped 3.8kg so far in the first 3 days and am feeling all the better for it… I know its only 3 days, but I know its working…

As part of the Optifast plan you can manage the diet online using their OasisClub system… It includes both a Weight Diary and a Food and exercise Diary where you have to log everything you eat…
For example this is yesterday’s diary

It’s not just a change in your eating habits and food you it, it’s an entire lifestyle change… Normally on weekends I head down to the local shops, pickup the papers and go to Gloria Jeans for a Coffee and Toast… Couldn’t do that today… I went down and picked up the paper and came home to my milkshake and black tea…

Hopefully the rest of the weekend will sail by as I have heaps to do around the house; as well as meet up with a couple of ACS friends this arvo to go do some planning in at work… Let’s see how it goes
