Apprehension...

So, I'm nervous, excited and a little apprehensive about starting this 'new' me tomorrow. I have already started writing in my gratitude journal and have just finished making my lunches for the next few days.

For those of you who are interested, I am going to be following the 17 Day Diet by Dr Mike Moreno. It was recommended to me by my GP and I have now seen it on Dr Phil and the Doctors. Basically four different stages of 17 days each. The idea is to teach you to eat healthily without the hassle of calorie counting etc. I am super excited because there is still a fair amount of cooking involved (and those who know me, know I love cooking!). There is even a special cookie recipe as part of the diet!

I'm getting up early in the morning and heading for a run from home to the gym, hitting the gym for a while and walking home to cool down. I'm hoping that starting my day bright and early will set the tone for the rest of the new beginnings!

Tomorrow, I'm going to take a 'before' photo. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to put my starting weight up on here. I'm thinking that maybe I'll put my starting weight up after the first week so we can have a look at how much I've lost and compare the pictures?? A little less daunting that way??

To my beautiful gal pals who are part of the group on Facebook, your words have been inspirational and encouraging and I can't wait to take all of you out with me and the Jimmy Choo's when we celebrate and hopefully that time will be sooner rather than later!

My journal topic for tonight is: 3 things I have learnt about myself from others. Hopefully, I'll share it with you in the coming days. I'll let you know tomorrow night how I'm feeling after day 1! I'll also let you know what yummy foods I have gotten to eat!

Love,
Michelle
