Notes
The problem with logging stats every day is you get days like today, where you appear to gain weight. I've stuck to the diet perfectly, and there are a few possible explanations: I ate my vedge fairly late last night, weight can vary depending on where you are in your menstrual cycle, I felt a bit dehydrated this morning so maybe retaining water a little? But of course it's still a bit depressing to see! This is why normal diet advice is to weigh weekly.
Today, instead of having the vedge as a fourth meal/evening snack, I had it with the third shake. I'm hoping this will make my evening numbers come down a bit.
This has been a craving-heavy day. I think I need a nice motivating tracker to tick off the days!
