I know the first weigh in took place on the 1st of Jan but I actually started on my first day back to work which was Tue 3rd because there were some unfinished Christmas Fayre that needed polishing off in the cupboard to remove temptation!
Last weekend was challenging because my daughter was home from University with her boyfriend and my wife usually gets treats in for the return of the prodigal daughter. The cream eggs, fried breakfasts, pizza's, Chinese and roast dinners were a big temptation but I weathered the storm well and I think it is down to the fact that I do actually feel quite full on the MonaVie shakes, plus a good supply of grapes to nibble on when everyone else is eating goodies!
Sunday lunch was OK, I had chicken and vegetables and left out my normal big plate of roast and mashed potatoes. I still felt like I had eaten a sunday roast but actually felt good in the knowledge that it had been healthy too! Missed the desert and had a low fat yoghurt but that was enough to be honest. Oh, and a much smaller portion than normal was all I needed.
Yesterday I went to the gym and had a good cardio session on the cross trainer followed by stomach and shoulders work in the gym.
Evening meal lasy night was the leftover soup from the weekend and my wife is preparing another vegetable based stew today for the next few days as that seems to be really good winter warmer food that is low in carbs and fat so fits nicely with the program.
I posted in an earlier post that I had to contend with cakes and biscuits at work, well one of the girls had a birthday and instead of the normal cakes she was thinking of me and bought this in instead - seems like everyone is trying to help!
Results of the week 2 weigh in to follow!
