Daily C9 Blog

Day 1 - Fairly straight forward but do your pre-C9 planning.

Reduce your caffeine intake and get used to drinking litres of water - oh and don't stray too far from the little boys room/ladies powder room - those toxins are converted into liquids and need to get out somehow!

Day 2 - Again, nothing adverse to report - stay away from the snack cupboard, regardless of how tempted you may be.

Concentrate on snacking on the recommended free fruit and vegetables. Keep to the recommended water drinking guidelines.

Day 3 - We get to eat a meal again from today - don't look so alarmed, we have been well catered for during our first two days of the programme that we haven't missed eating cooked breakfasts, soup & sandwich lunches or roast beef dinners!

From Day 3, sticking to the 600 calorie dinner (800 if you are male - an additional shake or extra 200 calories in your meal). It is easy with chicken, rice and steamed vegetables and/or side salad all washed down with more water!

Day 4 - And so the varied food/meals kick in - all valued at 600-800 calories. And now we can have two shakes, it's time to mix flavours. So far we've had Vanilla & Pear, Vanilla & Strawberries, Vanilla & Blueberries - the Strawberry one is the best so far.  Not so much variety with the Chocolate shakes.

Greg's main meal was chicken sausages and they went down a treat! Kenny opted to split his 800 calories between a 300 calorie chicken lunch and a 500 calorie evening meal of a cheese & tomato omlette with salad.

Day 5 - Greg loves his lunch-time Chocolate shakes and tonight's evening meal of King Prawns with Egg Noodles in a Sweet & Sour sauce. Kenny loves his Vanilla shakes, today with added blueberries and raspberries.  So good he had the same for breakfast and lunch! Dinner was more chicken and brown rice.  Good clean eating for Day 5 - half way there!

Day 6 - Weigh Day - Greg & Kenny's stats posted above.

Greg says: "flatter tighter stomach" - YES! Evening meal tonight is a Chicken Korma with wholegrain rice.  Still not missing snacking in between meals.

Kenny says: "one chin and I've dropped a trouser size - new French Connection belt required" - whoop whoop! Second day's chicken, brown rice, peas and tomatoes - cooked too much rice yesterday, so chilled it and had it at lunch time today - shake for tea with fresh strawberries from the free food range!

F.I.T.1 boxes despatched and should be with us Friday, ready to get inspired with this journey into breaking bad habits we've built over the years, so that we look better and feel better.

Days 7, 8 & 9 - We continue to eat healthy and take our meal replacement shakes at the times when it's more convenient for us (Breakfast & Lunch).

We are exercising moderately - although because we are teaching group fitness classes we may be exercising a little more intensely :).

We are buying fresh fish from the Blue Flag fish shop on Stell Road - well worth a visit as the fish is just to die for - smoked haddock kedgeree, lemon sole mornay - just 2 recipes that we've included these ingredients in!!

Day 9 results speak volumes. Greg and Kenny never set out to lose loads of weight from fad dieting - they set out to cleanse and educate their bodies and minds and between them, Greg and Kenny have achieved results that we are all pleased to share and talk about on here and in our classes.
