Day 3 - All is well

Well today has been day 3 of the diet. I don't think I'm in ketosis yet, however, I've not really been hungry. Started off today with a chocolate shake but after 2 hours of drinking it I gave up with about an 1/8 left to go. A dark chocolate truffa bar was next which I nibbled on over about an hour. Finally I made myself some chicken soup which was really nice (if rather powdery) but I couldn't face any more after having half of it. I know that I should be eating everything from each 'meal' but I just can't face it. I don't know how people manage 4 or even 5 packs a day.

It's really odd that I've gone like this because before I started I was eating pretty much none stop. I loved my cheese sandwiches, especially grated cheese, and could easily get through a loaf of bread and block of cheese in a day. Yes one single day. Just before starting this diet that was pretty much all I ate. I just couldn't be bothered to make anything more complicated. I think my problem has been of a long time that I just can't be bothered. I just don't want to wait 30 minutes for something decent to cook when I can make a sandwich in 2 minutes. I know as well it's because I don't drink enough water. I don't drink so when my body sends that signal says 'drink' I confuse it with 'eat'.

Another problem is that of boredom eating. When I get bored I eat. When I am avoiding other things, I eat. I know I should do some exercise or something useful in this boredom time instead of eating but no, as a lazy so and so I just eat. I really hope that by not being able to eat I'll find other things to fill my time with so that when I go back onto food I don't have that need to boredom eat. I also hope that by upping my exercise I'll have more energy to put into making better meals.

I actually can't wait for my gym to open on the 5th. I'll probably be there checking it out on the first or second day. I honestly feel like weight training might be something I can stick at. Whenever I've gone to the gym before I've always tried cardio and hated it and felt useless at it. Cardio is a thin person's game. But weight training. Weight training is anyone's territory. You can look at some of the best weight lifters in the world and most of them aren't teeny tiny little things. They are proper people who are well build but in the right way. I also can't wait to start as I know by doing weight's I will increase my strength which will only help me in my job.

Hopefully, I'll be in ketosis tomorrow although as long as I don't stop feeling like this going into it isn't too bad!
