    Really pleased with myself so far! I did have a glass of champagne at the spa yesterday (it was complimentary, I had to, right?!) but still fitted within calories. Not exercising today to give my body a break so will need to pay attention but so far so good. Going to the cinema tonight so for once it will be water instead of popcorn and coke :smile:

    1st - GREEN (-16 on protein)
    2nd - GREEN
    3rd - GREEN
    4th - GREEN
    5th - GREEN
    6th - GREEN (-1 on protein)
    7th - RED

    Sat we went to a kid's party and I ended up scoffing on the sandwiches and sausage rolls etc. I logged the best that I could - obv I didn't know exact weights and brands but it equalled just under 800 calories which I think is about right. If I hadn't have eaten that I would have had a FAB day - I did have to make a choice to have salad with my paprika pork instead of rice.

    I have logged today as RED (even though it's only 8:20am) but I KNOW I will be going over today and if I don't then at least I get to come back and change it for the better!!! So, week 1 for me = SUCCESS as my original goal is to have 2 red days MAX but preferably only 1 - if not 0!

    Good job so far everyone, hope you've enjoyed the week and enjoy what's left of your weekend xx

    Looks like everyone is doing great, well done!

    I didn't even feel like popcorn at the cinema last night, it seems that now that I haven't eaten sugar in a while, it's really quite easy to stay away from it and I don't have any cravings for it either. At this rate the whole month might be green!!

    Enjoy your day off, Leigh!

    Saturday green, at least by my reckoning, despite eating out twice. A totally green week, possibly for the first time ever, and I seem to be maintaining too :happy:

    Love this challenge!

    Well done everyone on the green week, here is to week 2. I would like to have a green week apart from Sat when I am going to a wedding so I know beer and nibble food will be eaten !!!

    I drank 2000 calories in beer yesterday, had a cheese & bacon burger and chips meal and then chicken nuggets and chips at around 10pm !!! BIG FAT RED DAY HAHA.

    WEEK 2 : :bigsmile:

    How is everyone today? I had such a busy day at work, wish it was Friday already! Managed to find the courage to exercise twice though, did kettlebell circuits in the morning and a boxing class at lunchtime. Ready for bed now :smile:

    Hope you all have a great week!

    Green again! It's like a strange experiment for me, actually keeping to my calories :laugh:

    Today I had one of my hungry days, when I have to eat all morning to soothe the snarling beast in my tummy, often followed by a loss, but I doubt it will be this time. I think calorie cycling is in my nature, but this challenge is a good chance to try to do the right thing.
