Hey team,

Just posting to say that I've been sticking quite easily to my 1200 calorie diet so far. The worst I've been is 1583 calories on a day when we went to a friends house for lunch and dinner. I'm writing my calories down and I keep wanting to stop but I know that I have to keep doing it. I make myself write them down, even if I'm going over the limit.

Exercise isn't going as well at present - keep slacking off from the gym. Why can't I get these two things right at the same time???

Here is my new after work snack - in a blender place 10 ice cubes, 2 tablespoons of skim milk power (actually measure them properly!), 1/2 cup cold water, 1 teaspoon coffee powder, 1 teaspoon vanilla and sweeten with artifical sweetner if you like. Wizz it up a lot - it might take a while and then serve with a straw. This is a really thick and full frosty drink. It really fills me up and only has 100 calories according to my calculations!

Hope you are all going well!
