Day 25

Liz -

I don't have alot to write today - been a pretty un-eventful day for me. Work, dog walk at lunchtime and now off to a brass band rehersal - it feels good to be back playing again after so long away.

I've had my 2 shakes so far today, vanilla for breakfast (a much better choice) and a chocolate one for lunch. These Tescoslim shakes are definitly the way to go for us, not to thick and the flavours are lovely.

We had mixed mushrooms again for dinner tonight with garlic, ginger and soy sauce (good job social distancing is still in place for band later, i must stink of garlic we seem to have it most days), and today we decided to pair this with some cauliflower rice. I was a little sceptical at first but I must say it worked really well and was extremely filling.

I've got one more shake to go when I get back this evening before it's off to bed for me.

We did a cheeky mid week weigh in today & I hadn't lost any weight yet - but i'm ok with that as not put any on either - we have been struggling to drink the 2ltrs of water a day recently and I must admit I haven't completed it since around Saturday just gone, so i've decided to concentrate on drinking all my water each day, ensure I manage to get through it all so that my body is releasing more water and not becoming de-hydrated.

Mike -

Today has been back to a more relaxed uneventful day today. Got my work done this morning and went on a dog walk with Liz and Lexi at lunch time. As Liz said said the water intake has been a bit of an issue recently and means i have retained a lot of water, not anymore. I feel like i was back to day 2-3 today with somewhere around 10 toilet trips before 7pm. Whatever water i had been storing has definitely been released now.

Dinner was a nice treat, i added curry powder and black pepper to my dish just to add that bit more flavour. I'd still like to imtroduce a bit of meat in to my diet but that will come in good time. For now i will stay on track and follow the rules. I am due another review with the GP in the next week or so and i will have a lot of good news to pass on.

This evening i have a bit of me time while Liz goes out to practice in her band. Hoping to finish my book this evening. Ciao for now.
