Day 6

M-Day #2

Weight: 57.7kg
Chest: 78cm
Biceps: 26cm
Waist: 89cm
Hips: 95cm
Thighs:53.5cm
Calves: 36cm

Really disappointed with the measurements. I try to tell myself that weight fluctuates, I'm building muscle, I'm clutching at straws..
But my weight is down, I'm under 9st which was a target goal. I feel tighter, firmer and smoother and have a bit of a thigh gap.

Even so I won't lie it's kinda disappointing and does deflate my energy and enthusiasm slightly.

Still thought more encouraging messages from my friend and the facebook support group.
Spurs me on to keep going.

7 AM
This morning I try to do yoga again. But I'm in too much of a bad mood for yoga so I sack it off and jog instead.
I don't like yoga. I should it requires little moving about and lots of stretching .. but I just don't.

Again aloe vera gel - getting kind of used to this stuff now. It's not all that bad.
Tablets, shakes, water, fruit, fiber etc etc.

One of the new part time girls at work offers me coco-pops and a cup of tea.
She keeps forgetting I'm on a detox bless her. But I stay strong.

6 PM
Minced turkey meat, brown rice and bell peppers.
Wolf it down and go out with the boyfriend to watch the England match with friends.

8 PM
So the pints are flowing and I too am joining in - only mines filled with ice water and not lager.
My friend ordered cheesey chips and doesn't want them. I could have them if I wanted.
I hate my friend. Still I don't crack.
I'm slurping on water just the same and keeping up with the rounds.
Even had alternating slices of lemon and lime to keep it interesting!

After the match we go meet up with some other friends out in town in a cocktail bar.
He offers me a cocktail. I politely refuse.
He tries to get me to taste his cocktail. I again refuse.
He puts the cocktail physically to my lips. I keep them shut.
My will power is awesome.

We stay out till 1am. I've only drank water and I feel pretty good.
saved £ on the taxi as I drove, didn't spend any £ on drinks - water is free! No take-a-way and best of all there will be no hangover in the morning!
This doesn't mean I won't be going for a bottle of Peroni or two in a few weeks time.

I also easily did over 2 liters of water today.

Still thought I can not help but reflect on tonight's events. My friends didn't know I was detoxing until I refused food and drink. Why do I never get offered free stuff when I'm up for it?!
God damn it.
