One Week In

So tonight I returned to class for my first weekly weigh in.  I arrived early as I wasn't planning to stay tonight.  When I arrived I met in with one of the ladies that started last week too.  She was telling me how she'd had a night out on Saturday with lots of  food and wine, and how the hangover on the Sunday was helped with the Chinese take away!  I think I've been ok this week.  I am finding it difficult to get my head around the idea of not measuring certain foods and eating them freely, but it's such a change from other diets.
I think my week had a very good start, despite the news that I had to empty the kitchen and utility room by the following Monday.  I got very stressed with emptying the kitchen, I was getting more worked up than I normally would.  I wasn't sure if I was in a funny mood with the restriction of food and drink or just the inconvenience of having to get kitchen packed up?  But I did think the stress was probably good for burning off some calories?!!  The stress is also building at having to wait for results of Isla's recent scans to find out if she's in remission.  We have had the result of the MRI to say that she's clear, but waiting on the MIBG scan result and the result of the urine test which picks up tumour markers.  The urine results have taken up to 5 weeks before, but we've never had to wait this long for a scan result.  I'm almost convinced it's good news, but would like to know for definate!
The result from first week into the diet was a loss of 2lb.  I feel really disappointed with this, but then I feel disappointed that I feel disappointed!  I am often like this on a first week of a diet where I don't have a big weight loss like other people do.  Fellow newbie tonight had a loss of 5 1/2 lb with her meal and booze and take away! 
I have to remind myself to be patient and hope that my body will accept the diet in a few weeks! 
I've been having a look on the website for recipes tonight, so there's plenty I want to try once I can get back into the kitchen and cook properly.  Tomorrow I will get on the cross trainer once Isla is at 2-3 club.  Even though I'm feeling disappointed, I'm also very determined that I will lose weight, so it's onwards and upwards (downwards on the scales though).
