albiet very slowly!
The only carbs I have had today is a piece of toast this morning (need to get my breakfasts sorted) and some spaghetti when we had spag bolaganise for dinner. I definitely had less spaghetti than I would normally have which I felt really good doing.
I do have a yucky headache but that's probably more due to the fact that I am on day 2 of no coke/caffeine. Coke is the only caffeine that I have as I don't drink tea or coffee.... well coke and V that is! It would have been day 3 had I not blown it on Saturday while at Junglerama with Rachel and her friend when I had a bottle of coke while watching them run around!
I also have the worst PMT that I have had in over a year!!! My periods are generally real light which I certainly don't complain about! In fact, I can't recall the last time I had to take pain killers.... but today boy oh boy I am certainly feeling it this month!!! Drugs every 4 or so hours and a small bar of chocolate after my lunch! Just hope that this is not the start of a new pattern or anything like that!
I bought some coleslaw tonight on the way home, so have that for lunch tomorrow along with some freshly sliced ham, some cherry tomatoes and a couple of eggs :) Am feeling the hunger for it already!
Right, catch ya later

Cutting out wheat significantly helps PMT and period pain so stick with it.
I made one of those flax wraps and had it for lunch today and it was great!
Breakfast - eat a hardboiled egg or make a smoothie. I find an omelete is really quick to make, especially if you prepare it the night before (get everything out ready). Making a pastry free bacon and egg pie (or little pies) is also a great idea.
You're doing well Karen. A couple of suggestions for you. Next time you have Spaghetti Bolognaise, try substituting the pasta with sliced very lightly steamed (so still slightly crunchy) cabbage. It's actually really nice and will keep the carbs down.
Re the drinks, be careful not to substitute juice for the caffeine as it is high in sugar. Maybe try one of the flavoured Green Teas (we love the Bell Berry Green Tea) - really refreshing and can apparently aid with weight loss. I even have Chris drinking it!
gooooooo you. Good stuff!
