This is the last splurge day I intend having - I really don't enjoy them at all. I felt sick a lot of yesterday and writing this on Monday morning I don't feel tip top either. Surely I could simply work a few treats in through the week rather than pump myself full of sugar in one hit.

That said I've done pretty well on this diet. I've lost just over 11lbs in 3 weeks - but the concern I have is that over 1lb of that has been muscle - I really don't want to be losing any. I haven't got much to be losing! I intend looking a little bit longer term and losing the weight slowly so as to protect muscle. I'm also aware that I'm not exactly doing any heavy weight training at present which is an aid to preserving muscle mass.

I'm researching a less aggressive approach where I'm looking to lose a steady 1-2lbs per week with no muscle loss (and possibly some newbie muscle increase fingers crossed).
