Saturday and Sunday, 16th-17th Oct
The diet kinda went out the door on the weekend since I was away from home, at a convention, having dinner with lots of other people. (The dinner meal was very good - the dessert was a beautifully rich chocolate mousse, but I couldn't even get halfway through!) However, before I threw the diet plan out the window, I weighed myself on a helpful set of scales left in the hotel bathroom:
57kg
So the diet is going somewhere. Slowly, but somewhere. I occasionally want something that isn't in the plan, but it's not difficult to resist since there are plenty of other things I can eat. I sometimes give in when I want something (and by give in, I mean "have a couple of bites of, or one of whatever") but I'm maintaining the chief structure of the diet.
And this morning, we're back on the wagon!
I admit, I rather like this diet. It's simple, it doesn't require me to go hungry, and it works.
I'd loathe counting calories, feeling like I was restricted by how much I could eat. I'm fine with restricting what I'm eating, so long as I don't spend half the day hungry. And there are times when I want to have something outside the food plan, but that's something I can manage. It helps to have an external rule set by someone else.
The only thing that worries me a little is the fact that I'm continuing an active lifestyle (sports and workouts) on a low-carb diet. I do find I'm a lot more tired these days. It's more difficult to get through a gym class, or a hockey game. And I constantly feel like I'm not getting enough sleep - although that might be because I'm not getting enough sleep - 7 hours for the last couple of days, but 4 on Friday, and not more than 6 a night last week.
