Hello hello!

It has been a few days, but they have been good ones! I had a bit of a weigh in and found that my waist had come up slightly, although to be fair, I put that down to bloating from my period (sorry for the TMI, gents). I did however lose 2kg exactly which is great!!

For some reason I have found myself getting more hungry throughout the day which, whilst I'm on this particular diet, is quite annoying. I'm not up to the stage where I need to start incorporating my snacks etc yet, although perhaps I should be listening to my body. I did have a small bowl full of cut up vegetables (cucumber, carrot and capsicum, YUM!) and am just having my lunch shake now.

On Monday I drank 3L of water which was certainly an achievement. By always having my water bottle directly next to me, I can just power through those litres. It's funny how even where my laptop normally sits, I do have to lean over to grab my water bottle. Sitting in the loungeroom with it right next to my hand makes such a difference. It's funny how lazy our subconscious can be! It's similar how when you have a cup of coffee/hot chocolate/tea, it's usually right by your hand and before you know it, it's gone. If you have it even a metre away from you, you easily forget it's even there. Same story with the bottle of water!

In a week or so my waist measurements will be a frustrating thing to go off as I plan on doing some waist training for this competition so it won't be a reliable source of assessing weight loss, it'll be all about the kilos then. Therefore, exercise still needs to be fairly light so I don't change my muscle mass where weight would be a good thing.

One thing I have been very slack on is my vitamins. I have multivitamins and fish oil tablets I really need to start taking but I just keep forgetting. I'm going to try and make that a habit as of tomorrow!
