Hit the next 5kg threshold - wahooo!

The last week has been a real test for my diet - hubby was away all last week and so I had no one watching out for me - I was completely unaccountable!  It went okay.  I did splurge twice (unfortunately two days running!) but overall stayed reasonably committed.  I had decided that the shake diet wasn't for me - for the last 6 months or so I have been working hard to get rid of all products with 'numbers' and chemicals in them from our fridge and pantry; so to then switch to a programme that couldn't work WITHOUT these chemicals just felt really wrong.  So I've switched to Lite'n Easy instead.  They also do kids meals and with hubby going away for 12 weeks it will be really easy for me and convenient - plus no dishes at night and no trying to cook during arsenic hour!  Bonuses all round :)

My first order of Lite'n easy arrived on Friday and so I began on Saturday.  This week I only ordered Lunches and Dinners, but from next week I will order breakfasts as well.

So today is Monday and day 3 of Lite'n easy and I'm feeling really good.  The batteries in my digital scales died the other week, so I hadn't weighed in properly in almost a fortnight - so I bought some at the shops this morning and was pleasantly surprised to see that I had shed not one, but two kilo's!  I have also officially dropped my first dress size which is fantastic!  I think I might go op-shopping tomorrow for some new jeans - my current ones (which might I add are only 1 month old!) are being held up by a scarf!  Not a good look haha.
