Well the scale didn’t move so much this week but it nudged down a little. I did have a couple of other wins though, I have kept my water consumption up around 2.5 liters a day, ate clean all week and have taken to wearing my 10,000 step counter and getting it up over the 10k every day.
My target for week three is to bring in a bit of weight training …

Well week one wasn’t as hard as I anticipated and I dropped 2.5kg of fat – yeah!
The hardest part for me was getting my daily water intake up over 2 liters I really struggle with drinking water, it makes me retch if I try drinking it too fast and I hate the taste. I started upping my water intake (from a zero starting position) a couple of weeks before I started the diet and was really surprised to find that now only a couple of weeks later I can drink a glass or even two straight down without gagging. I’m getting through over 2 liters a day now without too much of a struggle as long as I keep a glass or bottle handy through the day.
The second dilemma was figuring out what to do for weekend lunches, in the end I just stuck with omelette’s but will be searching around for some new alternatives in the coming weeks or it is going to get really boring. I like something we can sit down together and enjoy not grab on the run during the weekend but I like lunch to be different, not a replica of dinner so I need to kick the imagination up a gear.
Other than that I am feeling better, I had a few headaches and dizzy spells over the first few days but given this was a detox after a lot of eating junk this year I had expected it to be worse than it was.
In my second week I need to bring a bit of exercise into the mix.
