start of the proper diet!!!

Eeeek!!! imagine ominous music playing... dah dah dah!!! :) I was supposed to wake up bright and early this morning and go and do water aerobics... but as I was up till after one last night working on my folder for today, I decided to sleep in. I woke up, threw my vitamins down my throat and came upstairs. I looked at my file for what to eat on my diet. 1 protein, 1 fruit OR Grain and 1 beverage.. so I am having 1 scrambled egg, with water and cooked in spray and cook, and 2 provitas.. it was the lowest carb count... :) suprisingly tasty... :) My friend Amber is coming over soon, so I am just going to go to the gym and do some cardio for half and hour just before work... and tomorrow I will do the full 2 hours :) This weekend was really good, it was my last 'cheat' day yesterday, and I was so good, I resisted buying tomato big corn bites at the shop.. those are my absolute favourite, and they were on sale.. and I said no.. I nearly cried when I did, but I walked away... I had steak and baked potato for lunch, I bought a cheap cut of steak, that had a bone and some fat along the outside... I trimmed the steak down so it was roughly the size of my palm and i had cut all the fat away, I gave that to Buddy my dog... :) he was very grateful. I also threw in some sweetcorn from the freezer to have that veggie element. Then for supper I had some butternut soup, which I forgot on the stove and the bottom scorched really badly, but I was able to save it, by just scooping the top veggies into a blender and adding, some water, a little stock powder and some milk (protein) and blending... it was very yummy... So I think for a cheat day it wasn't so bad...
I am really excited, my first weigh - in is today... I hope I have lost some weight. I think I can see a difference in my body, but when you're the size of a small baby elephant, its difficult to tell ;) I am feeling a lot more confident and self aware... I even met a boy for movies and coffee yesterday. My first 'date' since I was 15 :) so things are looking up...
Anyway.. I have to pop down to the shops.. my fridge is sadly very bare, and I need lettuce and cucumber and veggies and fat free milk and a whole bunch of stuff for lunch and supper...
toodles for now..
