Day 19 and last day of the drops.

Woke up and had lost another 350 grams so fingers crossed that there is more tomorrow, as it will be the weight that I need to keep within 900 grams of for the next 23 days to re-set the part of my brain that tells me what normal is.

The Hypothalamus is a particularly interesting organ that sits deep within the brain and is involved in many voluntary processes least most the size and weight of your body and what it deems 'normal'. It loves to have things in status quo so if left to its own devises and I misbehave with my eating it will want to take me back to my original weight and that is simply NOT ON! 

Veal and leek soup

In fact this next phase is probably as important and the last 3 weeks that I have plundered through. I will keep you in the loop because it's something that I am finding really interesting. I am also hypothesizing about the weight changes from early sleep to second rising and I wonder if it has anything to do with the muscles and connective tissue being stretched and alert. Think about how heavy your child is when they are asleep versus how much lighter they are awake. Just a thought...

Lunch today was another test - Soup of veal pieces pan fried and leek all of course with a bevy of herbs and today I chose thyme, chives and a sprinkle of fennel. Turned out pretty well and was super filling which is always a benefit.

My delightful son told me it looks like something nasty and maybe it does, but the flavour definitely passed muster.

Dinner I decided to do up a big green leafed salad with fresh basil and shallots and topped it with pan fried chicken breast. Crisp clean tastes with the added zing of apple cider vinegar was a lovely treat to my palate and a really healthy option.

It was much prettier on the plate than the previous dish though they were both good meals for the day.

I wonder what the scales will have install tomorrow and again wish me luck!

Cheers
