The First Day

Well its the end of day 1. I had all day today to prepare myself for what i have decided to do. From taking the first real decision on something that will eventually and hopefully, improve my life.

I must say it has started off well. After i eventually woke from a real crap nights sleep, i got out the newly purchased juicer and made a quick glass of two apples and 2 pears. It tasted nothing like i was expecting, but was quite tasty. With a small bowl of rice crispie’s, no fat milk obviously. I wasn’t expecting to feel full of instant health, so i wasn’t disappointed. But i felt better about myself for doing it. It was the start and now i just had to keep it going for what i know is going to be a long long time. Anyway i bypassed all the snacks that i would normally have gorged myself with at midday, opting for some fruit instead. This lasted me until i had dinner with my partner and her family, where i had Salmon with mash and steamed vegetables. This appealed more to my taste and was not disappointing, congratulations to the chef. No pudding as the main course was filling enough. It was the first time i ate the crispy skin as well, it looked so delicious i couldn’t leave it. As it turned out, great choice.

Now is the evening and i resisted the urge for some chocolate as i would normally have done, instead i had five big shrimp instead. Dont know if this was a good thing, i do think its better for you than chocolate. Will have to check that tomorrow and make sure.

So that was it first day over, and i did go walking for a few miles around the city center. So food and exercise achieved for the day. Although i still have to get a set of scales and do the official first weigh in. Task for the week, purchase set of scales. I will also post a few photos, but firstly i have to build up the courage for that. One step at a time eh.

I feel better for writing this down as well, for a start i had two comments today. Both were unexpected and kind in their content and are gratefully received. I am speechless.

Thankyou again.
