Alexmummy's learning journey...

Thanks Alli :) xx

Gosh it's quiet on here at the moment - I don't even remember Christmas/New Year being 'this' quiet.

Today is a better day - considered by second shake about half hour ago, but trying to hang on because I know I'll want third straight after, so have resisted, having another pint of water and cup of tea instead.

Scales are down a little, so that's always a good good incentive (keep going down scales please)
How I'd love to see 10 stone 1 by next Monday morning (when we go away)
just 9 days to go now can't wait :) - physio on Tuesday, concert on Wednesday. It's quite an exciting week this coming week xx
 
Alexmummy is having a good food day...but needs to make some decisions...CD is so tough financially...what to do what to do??
So many thoughts, and so little time to make sense of them x
 
Hey, I feel I have been wasting money TBH because I haven't been sticking to it, due to celebrations! However I find I save money when I'm on it because we don't go for meals. I just need to stick to it.

It is really quiet on here and a lot of the people that I would talk to loads aren't around, so I find I come on less and less. It's a shame.
 
Well we are back from our week away, and it was really lovely. The weather was great, and little'un had a fab time with all the characters etc too, which made for a happy mummy and daddy too.

The downside - I ate for BRITAIN! Really bad, and this morning tipped the scales at a horrid 11 stone 1/2lb OUCH! big ouch in fact!
I'm comfy at around 10 stone 3, but still aiming for that 9 stone 7 mark for the wedding, so have a lot of work to do now for the wedding in just over 4 months!

Glad we had the break, but with only 2 months til my dress arrives, there is sooo much to do now and absolutely no time for messing around with food at all!

Hey Alexm,

Am well behind on all the news! Where was your hol? hope you had a fabulous time. I am up on the scales and tackling it from today, will be posting again, sorry for deserting everyone.

How the wedding plan coming along? when is it?

Are you still on the 1000 plan?

Wishing you a fab and motivated weekend!

xx
 
Thanks Lelly - good to see you about :)

Have come down with a nasty cold now - typical when had a lovely weekend all planned out.

Low carbing at the mo but head debating what to do for the best x
 
Hey, hope you're not ill all weekend. Weather looks nice. xx
 
Poor you, hope you feel better soon!
hope the weather is better where you are, it's raining here..boo!

Today, although I feel really rubbishy, I have made a solid decision. I am going back to Sole Source. I've read back through my posts, and I know I suffer with headaches in that first week, but I know the benefits after day 4 and how worth while it is! I haven't got time on my side for the wedding, and I have also had a go (although I admit almost half heartedly) at SW and right now it's just not for me. I don't seem to be able to latch on to this 'free' food idea and weirdly prefer my weighing etc when going up the steps.

I think the last time I tried SS was because I felt I had to and probably wasn't in the right frame of mind to 'really' do it. This time though, this is it, for me, and I am ready to once and for all - finish the job!

I'm waiting 'til Tuesday so I can try and get over this cold and not use anymore throat sweets etc which I know keep me out of ketosis, and then straight into it. Weirdly...I can't actually wait to begin again.

I am hoping I can finally get under that 10 stone mark in 5 weeks, and fingers crossed go up the plans, without gaining in the following 3 in time for first dress fitting, along with toning up arms once my arm is healed too!

Good for you for making a positive decision hun!

Good luck with SS!

Have a good Sunday!

xx
 
Thanks Lelly - feel awful today, but hoping this will be the worst day and then start to pick up from tomorrow. Have spoken to CDC so packs/food all ready to go, just need to get me well.
Excited to get back on, actually feel the anticipation for weigh in's again, and feel that I can finally once and for all get to goal, and finish it all, and really concentrate on the maintenance gripe, and hopefully well in time for the proper hot summer months, and the wedding too.

It's scary how quickly this year is flying, just 7-8 weeks now until first dress fitting - so exciting xx
 
Finally back to SS today and feeling good, in control, and mostly positive!

Scales were at 11.2 this morning - so hopefully will be down a fair bit by next week (I hope)

In my head, am thinking 4-5 weeks on SS and then move up the plans once I get back to BMI 25.

So day 1 - water water water + so far 1 Vanilla Shake. (looking forward to getting my new choc mint supplies on Weds) and avoiding bars until week 3 like I originally did - really want to get into Ketosis and stay there this time. Dress due in 8 weeks - so NO chances/reason to mess up - no more set meals, and if any crop up - it WILL be 810 and nothing more.

Sooooo here's to day 1 of a planned 5 weeks on SS :)

woohoo!! yay you! go for it!

i need to remind myself of the water too! water water water!!!

Have a fab SS day!

xx
 
Thanks Lelly - today has been a good day, just hoping it continues :)
Went for Occupational Health visit for my new job today and trousers felt uncomfortably tight - can't wait for them to fit properly again xx
 
Hey Alexmummy - I am joining you from today! My dress is going to be in the shop by first week in September. Going to try for goal by then. So you have 8 weeks and I have 13. We have the same reason to stick to it and not sure who else is doing SS at the moment, so will keep an eye on you for mutual inspiration!

I normally get into ketosis on day 4 too, so wanting that to hurry up. It's almost easy once you're there. I also have nothing planned in terms of meals, so need to just be strict this time.

Best of luck hun xxx
 
Thanks Liz - just sat down to have my chicken/mushroom soup, and still have one left over as haven't felt hungry today so far, and been so busy in/out all day. Still feeling icky from this horrible cold which is definitely hanging on, but it's SS now, whatever the weather.

I know meals are going to come up here and there but I just have to 810 them to the best of my ability, and there is no reason I can't be the weight I so want to be come September (well hopefully before, and maintaining come September)

Going to have a look at your diary now - but have you set date for your wedding?xx
 
Hellloo sorry to (thread butt) could i join you both on the ss wagon please?

Ive had TOTM and it's left me with a small gain that needs to disappear fast.!

I will be starting in the morning, alexmummy you have done well in your restart.!

Good luck ladies,x

Hey, sorry to hear the cold is still hanging around. Hope it clears soon.

Sounds like you're doing well today - we'll get into ketosis soon enough and it'll be easier. Date is 10th June 2011. I really want to be where I want to be come September, so that I can get used to maintaining. Plus want to order my dress then and think it's hard to be a 100% on a dress unless you're the weight you want to be, if you know what I mean?

Have you got any pics of your dress? I've just posted one of my shoes on my diary. xxx
 
Loving the positive attitude hun!

Have a fab day!

xx
 
How you getting on today? xxx
