I'm back!

Well to say I enjoyed my Christmas excesses would be an understatement! I weighed in on Sunday 22nd December 2013 and I'd put 1lb on.
I weighed in again on the following Sunday (29/12/13) and I'd put 10lb on!

I was expecting it as I'd eaten everything I wanted and enjoyed lots of snowballs, lots of Baileys and lots of wine!
I got rid of all the left over food, chocolates and wine (there wasn't any advocaat or Baileys left!) and got right back on track after my weigh in.

I expected to lose about 4lb this week as I'd been food optimising 100% since the 29th so I was gob smacked when I weighed in this morning to find I'd lost 10.5lb :D

The biggest change I made to my eating habits has been the cooked breakfasts. I've been having big breakfasts of eggs, beans or tomatoes and lots of fried (in frylight) mushrooms and onions. Sometimes I added fried potato or had the scrambled egg on toast instead of the potatoes.
As a result, I've been having smaller lunch portions because I've not been as hungry and I think the big cooked breakfasts has helped kick start my metabolism in the morning and kept it working till lunchtime.

Losing 10.5lb today has given me back my faith in food optimising and my determination to continue on this journey :)
