Day 2

Well, day 2 is almost over and I'm still going well and am definitely on the right track.

I've come down with quite a bad cold so naturally the first thing I feel like having when I get up is a big glass of freshly squeezed orange juice.  Nope.  Not today!  I had my chocolate Optifast and some diet apple and raspberry cordial instead.

I didn't have lunch as I slept through it but for dinner I had one of the Optifast vegetable soups which are actually really nice.  They are just like the normal Continental cup a soup without the croutons!  I also had 2 cups of stir fried broccoli with a tiny bit of garlic.

Drinking my 2 litres has been a bit of a challenge.  I'm going to go and have a shower and unblock my nose so I can finish off my last 750ml of fluid.

My sugar free essences arrived today.  I can't wait to experiment with them to see how I can flavour my Vanilla shakes but I have since discovered that Optifast comes in 4 flavours rather than 2.  They also have Strawberry and Coffee - these cost a substantial amount more than the chocolate and vanilla ones though.  Not sure why.  Go figure...

4 of my books arrived today.  My cook books for after surgery and 'fighting weight' by Khaliah Ali which I can't wait to read.  After reading the first few lines, I can tell it's a book I am going to not only relate to but enjoy thoroughly.  I'll add my review in my books section once I've finished.

Temptations that I overcame today - hot buttered toast, a delicious slow cooked lamb casserole that I made for everyone else for dinner, doughnuts and my favourite sausage rolls from the bakery.
