Huh. 7 days away from the half way point. Which is going significantly quicker than I expected. But it also means this year is also going far too quickly. Again. At what age do we start saying that? I feel the past 5 years all I have said is ” April already?” “June already?” “October…

While I will be rather happy when the words “You have completed the TDR section of the course and now we can start introducing foods” are muttered by the health coach at Oviva at week 12, being 4 weeks and a third of the way through is rather pleasing. Mostly because I got to order…

And here we are again. Stats time. One day I will look back on this while eating a salad and think “I wish I had a steak”. Another dwarf rabbit was lost, while another lost a couple of paws and an ear. Blood glucose is exactly where it should be. Hardly surprising as I haven’t…

Huh. Where did the first 3 weeks of the initial 12 weeks go? Ah yes, I remember. In Hungerville which is located in VeryHungry. OK it hasn’t been so bad. I am used to the taste(less) shakes. I haven’t tasted real food for 21 days. Haven’t had a beer. Nor whisky. Nor a burger. Not…

Gosh doesn’t the time go fast? It was just a week ago that I had completed week 1. More dwarf rabbits were lost. More blood glucose was reduced. More high blood pressure was less. The cravings some days are just killer. The official guidance says “Hunger pangs last about 30 minutes”. I seemingly have several…

Sooo. That is week 1 complete and we are at the beginning of week 2. I don’t really know why I just referred to myself as “we”. The voices in my head surely dont count? That is actually true, one of them is so dumb, the chances of him counting are a hell of a…

Well, here we are. 7 days in. The positives. The shakes are now starting to taste less like I am licking the floor. That or I just got used to them. The cons. The soups. Can you call them that? The congealed lumps after stirring them so long that most of it has splashed over…

Well. That was a fun weekend. My kids wanted snacks. And food. And you know, apparently when you are on these courses, you can’t starve your children the same way you end up starving yourself. What. A. Stupid. Rule. Apparently, if you do that, the police and welfare people get involved. Laws are strange things…

It arrived! Day 1! Day 1 of 84. Well, day 1 of 126. If you count the post 12 week stage where the next 6 weeks is much the same. But then, if you are looking at it as the total plan, day 1 of 365. If you could it all. I should stop now…

Does the mango milkshake taste like mango? I have no idea. Why? Well, I didn’t get this fat from eating fruits and vegetables every day did I? But if this is what mango tastes like, I am not sure I would get on with it in real life. Flavour? Well, no. It doesn’t. It is…
