Yesterday I struggled big time... I had 3 shakes, 1 apple, three sugar free lollies and a bowl of Zucchini, Broccoli, Leek and Potato soup.... Mild on the Potato obviously... I put it in more for consistancy... Then snuck a few more spoonfuls of soup about half an hour later... and then a couple more before putting the rest in the fridge... can't hurt that much right? It's vegetables... :\
I wasn't supposed to have the apple, but I was ravishing... I needed SOMETHING to get me through the afternoon. I had my brekky shake about 7am, lunch shake about 12.30 and by 2.30 I was dying...
Today I had my first shake when I got to work... still sipping actually... 10 past 8 at the moment - half way through. Will try and push my lunch time shake out until about 1pm. I brought my third shake with me today, so if I'm dying in the afternoon I will have it before 5pm and then have my soup when I get home... Hopefully then I can cut out the apple - but I do have it with me just in case... I feel really sick and nauseous when I have nothing in my stomach and the acid goes crazy... Producting too much acid in the stomach runs in my family. Thank god for Zantac tablets!
Soup soup....I have enough soup to get me through until hmm.. Sunday? I'll whip up another batch and maybe just put in 1 Potato instead of 2. I had a whole head of broccoli, 3 Zucchini's and one massive Leek though so the greens definitely take over... Gotta say though, yum yum! Couldn't eat them whole... taste so much different when blended with a little vegetable stock!
Don't know if anyone else will read this, but here's the recipe I used - you can add half a head of cauliflower if you like, but not sure if that follows the 'greens' thing?
3 decent sized Zucchini's
1 large Leek
1 head of Broccoli
2 small Potatoes
2 Litres of water
2 heaped teaspoons of vegetable stock (Vegeta is the best!)
1 chicken stock cube (I used an OXO cube)
Boil all for about half hour to 40min until everything is soft...
Blend the shit out of it until its smooth and there you go! :) Green soup! Very tasty...
2 days down... 19 to go.
Apparently after the 2nd or 3rd day you stop feeling hungry because you go into starvation mode... um... that can't be a GOOD thing can it? hello eating disorder! I swapped the 'optislim / optifast' shakes with Tony Ferguson ones because I know they have some extra good things in them (nutrients etc) to keep you going.
Speaking of TF, I have decided that I will do TF after my lap band surgery - perhaps not hardcore, because with the band you lose weight anyway by eating normally.. but more to keep me on track... so I still have a lifestyle change instead of just losing because I'm putting less in my body. This being said, my weekends I will relax and just have whatever is going - within reason. The band will stop me from overeating whatever it is I'm faced with... and during the week while I'm at work, I will be a good girl :)
