ReSet 2017 - Days 7 and 8

So I completely ran out of steam yesterday to do a blog post.  It was my daughter's 10th birthday and was rather busy all afternoon and evening.  There was cake and not one little crumb passed my lips!! How great is that?? It wasn't even that difficult to refuse it.

It has been surprisingly (for me) not too difficult in achieving one of my main goals of doing ReSet.  However I have been reflecting on what the means for when these 4 weeks are over.  Knowing the addictive personality that I have, I'm not sure whether I will be able to reintroduce sweets, crisps or cake back into my diet.  I'm not sure I am capable of having some in moderation.  If I can't, then I will need to make a decision of whether I have to cut it out for the rest of my life.  Sounds drastic, but it may be my reality.  Time will tell, but it feels great knowing that I have been able to do it for just this short time.

So with week 1 being over, I weighed myself this morning and here is my result...

6lbs off!!! (oh! and a quarter!)

Mega chuffed!! Hubby also lost 5lbs this week, so we are 11lbs (and a quarter) lighter this week than we were last.

So here we are, heading in to week 2.  If someone had told me I could lose weight, feel healthier, have more energy whilst eating full fat dairy produce, eating some carbs, nuts and pretty much all the things that other diets I have tried tell me not to eat, I would never have believed you.  Note: this is not a diet, it's a lifestyle choice. It's clearly working for me, let's be positive and keep the motivation going!
