one week under my belt

[Lardcontrol1]

I won't lie, that first week was a hard slog, I felt horrible to start with mainly due to the sugar dip for the first 5 days. I had been warned about this effect, but I found it really hard to exercise whilst feeling duff. Also had a headache a day for the first 3 days.

Anyway I think I'm over the hump of the sugar dips, 'cause now I'm starting to feel much better, and generally coping with the 1200 cal a day target (thanks to my fitness pal, without which I would be finding this much harder).

The result is that I have lost 2 lb this week, can't ask for more than that I guess.

Well done on giving up the sugar, it can be tough!

Congrats for getting through the first week, changing your lifestyle is hard, it's amazing that you worked through the sugar dip and still managed to exercise
