Ok so still struggling witth the water will continue to work on that but I have to tell you that I made some orange and banana muffins for breakfast from the Elimination diet cookbook find it on http://londonpersonaltrainingstudio.com/ they were delicious especially when eaten still warm mmmmm I had one with some live natural yoghurt and felt full all morning.
Lunch was a fruit omelette made with lots of berries and topped with a dollop of live natural yoghurt mixed with cinammon and I have to say it was amazing and again I didn't feel hungry all afternoon.
Still having the headaches but my tummy definately feels flatter so that is motivating me struggling to fit the exercise in but am determined this time its for me I will do this!

Day Two.
Day 2 and feeling not too bad!
The headache has kicked in but isn't as bad as I remember.
Bad food planning today in a rush this morning so no time to make proper breakfast, so just grabbed a live natural yoghurt and a banana. I had made myself a lovely chicken salad for lunch and left it at home Grrr so dashed out at lunch time and managed to find a mixed fruit salad and some cashew nuts phew again today struggling to drink all my water which I know isn't helping headache, so have to keep trying to do better!
Tummy feels less bloated already think that's probably because I haven't been drinking the usual litre of Coke but do feel quite good today.
I am also struggling to fit the workouts into my day, I am not trying to make excuses but I work full time, and have 2 young children this morning I was up at 6.30am to get us all ready and out the door for 7.45am then didn't get home until 6pm by the time I have bathed the kids and got them to bed its 7.30pm and I am starving so I eat, and tidy up and get clothes, bags, food etc ready for the next day which is usually about 9-9.30pm there just aren't enough hours in the day but I know I just have to get on with it I am doing this for me so I have to look at the workouts as my time and make it a priority I think getting to bed earlier will help because I will be able to get up a bit earlier and get some done before work, and then before bed if I want to reach my goals I have to work hard.
So my aim for tomorrow is to get up earlier get a workout done and drink my 2.5 litres of water.

The Countdown begins.......
I have signed up to doLondon Personal Trainer Dax Moy's 2011 Elimination Diet Summer Challenge which starts tomorrow http://www.londonpersonaltrainingstudio.com I am so looking forward to getting started. I have used the Elimination diet a couple of times before I know it works I have just been lacking the motivation to do it on my own so I have joined the challenge and started this blog to hold myself accountable.
My aim is to lose about 10lb and to reduce my body fat percentage. I just want to be healthy and to look and feel it too.
It isn't going to be easy but it's going to be worth it and when I see what a difference 30 days makes I am hoping it will change my eating habits for good. I am an emotional eater I eat when I'm happy, sad, to celebrate to commiserate I eat when I'm bored and I eat out of habit so the big bar of Galaxy chocolate and glass of Coke at bedtime has to go I am ready. I WILL do this!!
