Day 4 - Craving Cherry Tomatoes!!!

Right, so I am now on day 4 of the Cambridge Diet. I had tried to blog on Day 2 and Day 3 but I was not in a good mental state that I would probably have ranted on for pages and pages.

Day 2 - Possibly the hardest day so far. Ketosis hasnt kicked in yet (Ketosis is apparently when your body has nothing left to use for energy apart from your fat cells. When you are in Ketosis it is an appetite suppresent so until then you are STARVING!! Takes 2-3 days to be in Ketosis) Almost unbearable when Mark was eating Sausage Chips and Beans. I hate beans but was so hungry at that point I would have eaten anything. Anyway persevered and got through it by drinking lots and lots of water and hiding up stairs until he finished.
Lesson of the Day - Cambridge Diet Porridges are Vile and I mean really really Vile

Day 3 - Time to keep very busy! I am a boredam eater anyway so sitting at home was not going to be helpful so decided to go food shooping with my sister and neice. Probably not the best idea in hindsight but was kept busy entertaining my neice that I didnt find the massive temptations too tempting. Finished the evening by going to a shindig with my sister at her work. I was driving obviously... which was a new experience in itself. Staying at a party all night SOBER?!?!? I also checked with my consultant and found out I could have a Diet Coke every now and again so enjoyed that immensely. Generally hungry yesterday but discovered my 2 fave Cambridge Diet Products - Cranberry Bars & Choc Orange Milkshake - yum yum!!!!

Day 4 - Back to work. Hopefully keeping busy will make things a little easier!! So far so good. Think I may be in Ketosis now as the hunger pains (not pangs literally pains!!) are not reering their ugly heads. I even managed to enjoy my shake in the canteen whilst others were eating food. I say enjoy.....

So to sum up, the first couple of days were very very tough! But I got through them and things are slowly becoming easier. Dont get me wrong there is nothing I want more at this moment than a big fat steak, chips, onion rings with mushroom sauce but the focus is there!!

For some reason though since I started the Cambridge Diet I have been craving Cherry Tomatoes - I hope you enjoyed them at lunch today Lyds! :-)

So far.... So Good xxx
