having read your story about your first DD, I'm quite interested in trying this now. I am worried about whether i could keep to 500 cals and still have enough energy to exercise 5 days a week, but your comments have made me think positive. thank you

I will do it this time, this week has not been a typical week for me as i have an absolutely rotten cold and have not exercised since the first day, this may have inadvertently be a blessing in disguise as it has allowed me to get into the swing of things without the added worry about my training.
My aim is to run tomorrow but that had been my aim most days this week :-( Good luck.
Gil hope you are feeling a bit more optomistic today.
I am going out to lunch today on an up day woohoo

Yes I am ok-thank you.
Of course I did weigh myself, and lost 2lbs all in-even though I had an UP day yesterday and I know weighing is forbidden!
I think I'll stick it out-I'm just expecting results too quickly.
I've started the book, and it makes an interesting read so far.
Down day today
Enjoy your lunch!

I think weighing in all the time is ok IF you don't let it get you down. It seems counterintutive to weigh more after a dd then an up day but i have always known our bodies do crazy things.
Do you find on an UP day your not as hungry as you think you are. I just made a fairly typical breakfast for me (oats, yogurt and pineapple) and could only eat half the rest is in the fridge and will eat it later.
Have a good DD today x

Yeah I did feel that yesterday. I ended up with cornflakes at 10pm as my cals were low. But when reading the book later, Johnston says if you don't feel like eating more you don't HAVE to, so ill know that next time.
Usually I'd have jumped at an excuse for chocolate but I actually didn't really fancy it. How bizarre!

oh that is good to know I probably skipped over that as i thought when would i ever have trouble with not eating enough
I am off out to lunch at zizzi's today with a friend and at restaurants i baely look at the menu as I don't want to be too tempted so hope i don't get too overwhelemd with choice LOL
STILL have a cdm bar in my handbag EVEN though my new boss called to have a bit of a moan at me about a couple of things. Which upset me and normally has me looking for something to stuff the feelings down. Instead of doing that I decided what she was asking is really only minor in the grand scheme of things and better that she said it and got it out of the way. (this is a quite rational response for me as i am a bit of a perfectionist and don't take criticism well at all !!) And she paid me far more compliments than anything else .
Keep up the good work

I'm skipping thru a fair bit of the book too, but may go back and read it more thoroughly once I've got a basic understanding. He does kinda insist on drink supplement drinks (slim fast etc) for first 2 weeks of DD. I'm not doing that (I would never stick it!)
Good with you re nasty boss. Work to live, not live to work

so how has the DD gone ?
My day has been good overlall but nothign went to plan. Both my breakfast and dinner i have left half the meal on the plate ! Quite surprising.
My DD food is all made and packed for another 12 + hour day tomorrow
raspberries and yogurt for breakfast
prawn fajita stir fry for lunch
tomato and red pepper soup for tea
satsuma
That leaves 94 calories for more soup/yogurt/satsumas or melon

Yeah 10 10.8!!!! 4.2 pounds off and thoroughly enjoying my up day . As 10 10 is my first goal I could be there next week ! Amazing considering I have not run in a week and been feeling rubbish. Tomorrow may be an intermediate day or a dd depending what is happening . Then an up day Sunday and m w f dd next week .
