Day 3/Feel GOOOOOOOOD!!!!

I think i must be in ketosis - my mouth has a funny tang to it, my hunger levels have definately dropped - I had dinner last night at 5pm and didnt eat after that - not at ALL like me!!! I dont understand why I feel so much better than last week - I have more energy, im less sleepy, and SOOOOOO much energy - I actually said to my son last night - im buzzing - i dont know what to do with myself!!! And Ive woken up this morning, and feel just the same. I hope this lasts - I really do feel great!

The only thing I can think of that I am doing differently this week as opposed to last, when I felt so crap I gave up, is that im eating more meat this week - last week we couldnt go shopping until Friday (I started on Thursday) so the first few days were eggs, eggs, eggs, which I guess isnt going to really inspire anyone is it!!

I treated myself yesterday - spent an hour in the bathroom in the afternoon, dyeing my hair and other "girly jobs" (Plucking, shaving......y'know the sort of thing!!) I havent taken any real pride in my appearance for a while and it really helped, gave me a confidence boost and made me feel like the real me again - I have decided to dedicate an hour a week to do this - lock the bathroom door and have some "me" time - I have already decided that when I get paid next Friday from my work, im going to splurge on some fake tan - shows im making a change, coz normally first pay packet from a new job, I would have celebrated with chocolate and wine !!!!!

Im beginning to wonder about my decision not to have scales - I know from past experiences that I am a "scale monster" - to the point where I was weighing 3 times a day and I dont want to get caught up in all that again. My motivation comes from the fact that one day I will fit back into my sexy little rock chick tops and that my engagement ring wont cut off the circulation in my finger!!!! I think getting on clothes in a smaller size will definately encourage me more than some numbers on a scale, although in the meantime, maybe seeing a few pounds move from the scale will encourage me more?? I dont have a tapemeasure, so I have been using a old belt - ive marked on it where I was before I started this diet and I will measure ??? every two weeks or so - i cant wait to see my waist shrinking!!

Am so looking forward to going into Poole with my son tomorrow - Im going to cook up some chicken pieces later to take with us and we will stop off at Asda first thing to get some picnicy bits - i already know im going to treat myself to some pork scratchings and - wait for it - A DIET COKE!!! (Caffeine free, of course!!) a picnic by the harbour with my son and some diet coke.......HEAVEN!!!!!!
