Day 24

Weight: 14 stone

Lost: 1 lb

Total weight loss since day 1: 1 stone 1 lb

Woke up at 7 a.m. bright and early, raring to go...no stomach aches or headaches, just felt great!

Walked the dogs for an hour, on a bright sunny blue sky day, came in and made myself a 1 litre green smoothie consisting of banana and spinach...delish! Though I did feel extremely full afterwards. 

Even so, I dragged my carcass off to the gym for an hour and a half workout and I felt really buzzy on the way back home.

Lunch consisted of 3 oranges, some olives and macadamia nuts... I wished I hadn't had this combo as I had a stomach ache afterwards, but it only lasted half hour...won't make that mistake again (well, I probably will!)

Dinner consisted of a large salad but this time I threw in some sun-dried tomatoes and capers. Woo hoo!

Earlier in the afternoon I sliced some aubergine and drenched them (d’oh!) in tamari, then placed them in the dehydrator to hopefully turn into something gorgeous overnight...but this is a bit of an experiment so I will see how it goes...I think I may have overdone the drenching part, but I'll taste them tomorrow and let you know if they are a hit or miss!

 I took a photo of my aubergine and tamari experiment in the dehydrator ready to go.

The only time I really used to eat aubergines was when I was in a Spanish restaurant. They are called berenjenas con miel de caña, which is sliced aubergine dipped in flour and then fried, served with molasses (sweet sugar cane honey)

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I actually hit the 13 stone 13 lb mark when I weigh myself tomorrow, because I’ve been in the 14 stone ballpark for about a year now, so it’ll be good to see 13 come up on the scales and I will go out and celebrate with pizza and a bottle of wine (I wish!)

Hasta pronto
