Hi friends,
Despite happy weight loss last week - the weekend proved disappointing on the scales with my weight fluctuating up and down. I definitely didn't go to any extremes - on Friday I had a few alcoholic beverages though -2 gin and slim tonic - and two glasses of red.
Read an interesting article in the You magazine of Mail on Sunday about it being impossible to lose weight if you are stressed as it lowers your metabolism. This is the basis for the Dietcare weight loss plan. The theory holds some water I guess. I have to admit to leading a pretty stressful existence - with anxious feelings overwhelming me most days - as work became extremely stressful last year - particularly trying to fit everything into a day - running the household, organising children, running own business, trying to focus on my 'diet' and keeping my music hobby going - so all in all pretty well up there on the stress stakes.
Anyway - I decided to have a healthy liquid day today to purge myself of any excess calories and have a bit of a clear out. So - I started the day with 2 Meratol, my HRT tablet and some Kalms (you may laugh but they do help!) followed by:
Juiced fresh carrot, apple and ginger
Fruit tea
homemade celery and onion soup - made with an organic vegetable stock cube
Banana and soya milk smoothie
Celery and ginger appetiser
Fresh spinach, chilli, butternut, pea and celery soup with yoghurt (absolutely gorgeous)!
Just had a nice hot shower - did my exercises - and feel pretty relaxed.
Anyway we'll see what the scales say tomorrow.
