Well I think I am truly over all my cravings now. I have zero desire to drink beer, or have a late night snack. Also don't miss salt at all. So took 17 days to get to this point.
I also no longer have sleeping problems and now have the opposite problem. I had to go to bed last night at 9 as I couldn't keep my eyes open. Woke up at 8 this morning feeling almost drunk tired.
Some key points that are helping me along.
I am trying all kinds of new foods like a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. I checked the internet for the best ones and wrote a shopping list. Fruits like grapes, cherries, strawberries are high in antioxidants also fruits I haven't eaten in ages. Same in the vegetable area, I am eating all the healthiest vegetables and having fun eating them. Usually steamed for about 1 minute, just to colour them up.
I also often have vegetable juice (home made) for my veggie portion for breakfast. Celery cabbage and carrots.
I find my workouts at home are better than when I went to the gym. I mix things up with my dumbbells which gives me a far better burn. For example I would do shoulder front raises with dumbbells to failure then hit the light band and crank out 10-15 more reps till I can't lift my arms. Seems to just cook my muscles.
On the weight loss front, I am staying around 107kg now. I am sure it is due to adding muscle. The fat around my stomach is going slowly not that fast, which was to be expected. I am sure by week 6 there will be a noticeable difference. Not a problem. I am seeing my arms, shoulders and chest becoming more trim for sure, so think fat in this area is going first. I can't wait to see my mid section fat going. I think this will make me the happiest!
