Mo' Money Mo' Money

I've found myself in a bit of a dilemma. It's true in this regards that 'Money makes the World go round'. And this might just be done to the newness of it all I don't know. But in the first three weeks of my weight loss journey, I was doing well, exceptionally well considering it was right round the time of Easter and we all know that means CHOCOLATE! loads of it.

But, I was pumped and doing well. Although my clothes are feeling looser and I feel lighter I find that the most recent three weeks have been all over the place as far as my eating is concerned. Now, the difference in those two 3 weeks is that with my program I had 2 servings of protein powder per shake (2 shakes a day) I didn't at all feel hungry/crave/deprived, even my thought patterns were positive.

But as you know all these things cost money, and I thought well, to help stretch the money further I would reduce my protein serving to 1 per shake in order to make the powder last longer and therefore not have to spend as often replacing. However in these recent three weeks, I feel less satisfied, my thought patterns aren't as positive or strong against cravings.

So, where do I draw the line? I'm a stay at home mum, my husband is the only source of income (although I do receive a parenting benefit) so money's not exactly plentiful.

BUT I want to lose this excess weight more than anything, so I guess I've answered my own question. Suck it up, do the program how it should be done and pull our belts TIGHTER! lol. O well, I think I might need to just experiment for a bit longer and see how it goes?
