Lesson learned today - save the bacon for someone else. Don't eat it.

I have been eating perfectly all week and feeling FANTASTIC. Today I thought I would have 85g bacon instead of my tuna at meal 4.  BIG MISTAKE!

I now have a massive headache and feel nauseous. I don't think the salt and fat agree with me.  I won't be doing that one again. Will be really easy to say no.

No changes to my planned eating program - not worth it.... My body obviously likes clean food.

Yuck!

I love my cooler...

Last year I "tried" to lose weight (without any success - in fact I gained 10kg ).  I did not have any meals planned and the result - failure almost every day and it showed on the scales.

This year I am planning for success.  I have my goals in sight and I plan, plan, plan.  I prepare all my 6 meals the night before and I pack 4 of them in my cooler (the other 2 I eat at home).  I never have to wonder what I am going to eat, I never miss a meal, I never get so hungry that I eat the worst food I can find. I open my cooler - and there is my meal all ready to go and my sugar levels stay  stable all day. 

A consistent theme through many of those with great bods here on bb.com is that they take a cooler.  I did not think too much of it at the time, but I am a convert.  My cooler and I are good mates now - we go everywhere together. Love my cooler....

Head is in the right space this time - finally.

I have been eating correctly all week and got an "A" on my eating diary from my trainer - YAY!

First couple of days I felt terrible, like I had the flu and massive headaches, but kept going.  Think it was sugar withdrawals.

Now starting to feel great.  I have had no bloating or gut aches since I started so that is a massive bonus as I felt sick almost every day.

Consistently drinking 3 litres water every day and skin is starting to look better.

Lot to be said for clean eating.  Shame I didn't embrace this years ago. Don't even crave rubbish food at the moment.  Hope that keeps up.
