Minimising Me!

So, I really decided that this was it, I will lose that unhealthy extra stone I have been carrying! Off to Goa next week! So determined was I that I bought the ‘Alli’ tablets being advertised – bloomin’ expensive too! I had met someone who had done really well on the prescribed version of them which gave me added hope.
So, off I went to buy them. I had to go through the humiliation of a weigh-in in ‘Boots the Chemist’ to check that my BMI put me in the group to take them. It did! Only just, but it did! So, off I went home with great determination and a pack with tablets and all sorts of information. I weighed and counted and put together an excel program to count up my daily food! I bought slimming magazines with recipes in them and decided I would try them out.
One week later, yeah!! I had lost 3 lbs. Nothing else had gone down, however, I had grown half an inch!! I think I stood a little taller on the machine! However, it was similar to what my own scales said so I am going to save my 70p and weigh in at home now.
So, to the second week, trying to be good but without the patience to do the food diary and count everything up. Not an ounce off! Is this to do with not measuring? I was hungrier and forgot the tablet a couple of times, but I ate low, almost no - fat food and nothing between meals. I guess the proof is in the pudding – that is the one around my middle!
Week three then. I don’t really feel like measuring and counting so I going to try blogging. Let us see if that will help!
Day 1: Cereal, homemade soup (Weight watchers recipe) and Pork, squash, potato and cabbage – Slimmers World. All this after an extended walk and training session which I have already mentioned. For a snack – 90 calories of snack a jacks popcorn.
Let’s see how this goes!
