I'm officially past the half way mark. Now at the end of Day 7. The last 3 days have been much easier and felt more natural. My energy levels have increased too, thankfully. I think my body is over the initial shock now and has almost settled in to the way things are at the moment. I still find it hard to believe I have not craved coffee! There have been moments when I have thought it might be nice...but more to fill me up than for the taste of coffee. And out of habit. Habit is so strong! And there was me thinking I "needed" it, when I really don't. Fascinating. That is not to say I won't be drinking coffee in the future, because I will, but not purely out of habit, if I can help it.
I did find myself really fancying a glass of wine this evening, I must confess. And yesterday I did have quite a chocolate craving, but I told myself it's only another week to go. I will appreciate it all the more when the craving comes on a day when chocolate is back on the menu...it will be sooo delicious!
I've lost a few pounds too. That's always a bonus, especially after 3 sets of visitors in 3 months. I've had a few more treats than usual recently, it has to be said. It feels good to feel good in my jeans again.
So, the countdown is on. I'm on the downhill slope...5 days of careful diet/meal planning remain and overall, I'm feeling good on it.
