Day 1 and 2

I was quite nervous yesterday morning and was not 100% sure how it would go. I was worried about the first meal of all things, wondering how that would go.

Long story short I had my stomach banded 12 years ago and this whole plan seems to be bread, bread, bread and more BREEEEAD....  It's one thing that most banded people can't eat.  Thinking of ways to substitute it has been interesting, I've basically avoided it in the past and not had to worry.  I ended up turning the bread into melba toast by baking it in the oven,  I pureed the fruit and put it on the ricotta like jam. I must say it was a might fine breakfast.  

Lunch was a wrap and dinner, well Duncs and I both loved the fish stew.  I did add two tablespoons of tomato paste and a sprinkling of curry powder to add some more flavour.

Hmmm, food was not the only thing that happened throughout my day, I exercised in the morning using my Polar FT60.  That was and eye opener as I did my Wii boxing and I didn't raise my heartrate enough.  Subsequently Duncs, Chops and I went for a walk in the afternoon.

I planned my day in my diary and recorded my eating and exercise in a 'diet and fitness journal'. 

To say I was extremely proud of my efforts for the day is an understatement.  Also the support I've received from Duncs has been fantastic.  I couldn't ask for more.

Day two has been another learning day.  I got up half hour later than yesterday.  I got my exercise gear on and was doing Wii Fit by 0615hrs.  I did that for an hour, got ready for work and walked there and home.  Its not that far but it all helps.  Once again I didn't get my heartrate up enough to burn a decent amount of calories so I went down the oval and did the outdoor exercises.

I popped in to check on Tanya B to see how she was doing and from all accounts she's following the plan well and sore from doing her home exercises.  Tanya N is not doing the 12WBT but is going great guns with exercising and eating well. 

I'm surprised that I am feeling full after my meals and loving making the extra.  So glad we've got soup for Thursday and two spare lots to freeze. 

Well I must go and get my dairy organised for tomorrow.  Up early, 0530ish to get Duncs and my breakfast sorted.

Take care...
