Mckenna Day #14 - The Moment of Truth

Right well, Friday was day 14 of the McKenna experiment.

In the last two weeks I have had a couple of meals out, a couple of takeaways, several cooked breakfasts, a few glasses of wine and couple of gin and tonics, some chocolate, crisps, cookies and pre-packed sandwiches. If you were to look at that list from a weight watchers point of view you would see an epic fail of a weigh in.

However, after two weeks of not counting a single solitary point and eating whatever takes my fancy whenever I am hungry I have managed to lose ... drum roll please ... 2lbs!

Ok, so it's not a jaw dropping gob smacking amount to have lost BUT it is a loss. And more than I had lost on weight watchers recently so it seems like a good thing. It takes me to 10st 9lbs (almost the lightest I have been since before the blog started ... according to my weight watchers record card I was 10st 8lbs for one week once in the autumn). The biggest thing for me is that I have stopped being a complete nightmare when it comes to eating and always being torn between what I want to eat and what I think I should eat and making myself thoroughly miserable. Oh ... and also it means that all that time spent reading the book and listening to the CD was not a complete waste of time, that was a big thing too LOL!!!

So, the verdict on McKenna is that the common sense approach seems to be doing the trick. I'm guessing the two week weigh in rule is supposed to remain in place so the next one will take place on Friday 5th March but I will be blogging between now and then. I'm going to continue listening to the CD as often as I can and just carry on following the rules.
