Well in the end I did decide to have a rest day after all, mostly because I really don't want to get an injury from pushing myself too far too soon, this is going to be a lifestyle changing thing and there is time to pace myself and get it into my daily routine so that it's cemented. I don't want anything to get in the way and become an excuse for not doing it.

I have though watched what I've eaten and kept up my water intake.

For dinner I am slow roasting pork belly so the fat is rendered out and I will serve it with steamed asian greens and brown rice. VERY tasty and pretty good for my eating plan. Breakfast was an omelet with onion, tomato and lean cooked chicken and lunch was low-fat cheese on ryvita.

Tomorrow is my first weigh-in and measurements. I feel mixed emotions about it.. Excited, but a little nervous!

Ah well, what will be will be and to be honest regardless of the result I m just feeling great for having finally taken some control and started this - and I am overwhelmed by the support I have received, thank you, thank you all so much!
