Beelishy's VLCD Weight Loss Adventure!!

Morning!

WI# 5 since the New Year restart!

232lbs! haha. It aint budging! BUT.....TOTM has just started this morning (super light by my standards, right now) so you know what? Im really pleased with 2lbs off for the week. Really. I am. I need to get out of these 230's again ASAP...but for me, WI + TOTM = still lost anything at all and didnt actually gain?! Thats such an achievement! So not only is it good because Ive lost rather than gained but its also earlier than I was expecting it (it wasnt due until Wedndesday) so it should (hopefully) be just about done and dusted by the time we go to Edinburgh next weekend! Wooooo!!!

As for the Kleftiko, I could just take him somewhere (if I could find a greek place, at all lol) in Edinburgh, yes. But the effort and willingness, for this special occassion, is part of the gift. :D


I love my little yoga workout. Ive woken up with a very very strange twinge in my groin. Like...where my leg connects to my pelvis via the inner thigh....its ...twinge-y. I didnt have any trouble with it yesterday so Im guessing I slept funny. When i slept at all, that it....which, lemme tell ya, wasnt a whole lot. TOTM always screws up my sleep. So Im going to get them breakfast and get ready to go grocery shopping and i will see how it is when i get back. The plank is pretty much impossible for me right now. I can manage maybe 5 seconds. :/ Its pretty pathetic stuff :(

Right. Off to crank the heating and get their breakfast on. Happy Sunday, folks!

I find it interesting that Sunday is your regular grocery shopping day. Not sure why? I know people here who buy their groceries in Sunday -- but that's because they go to church on the base, then shop before heading home. I think it's just easier that way.

I wasn't trying to discourage you from your efforts -- I was expressing my "fear of failure" and how I'd deal with not knowing the recipe and caring for handling the lamb.

I hope you have a lovely family day.
 
Hi honey.
Just caught up. You're doing great. You really are. 2 lbs is great. It's moving in the right direction and that's the main thing.
Your yoga workout looks great. I might try it this evening. I def miss the exercise.
Happy shopping and have a great Sunday!

Congrats on the loss -- if I hadn't said so previously.

We shop on Sundays cuz Mal gets paid on Saturdays. lol

Oh. I didnt think you were trying to discourage, honey. lol. I was just explaining why it was more than just the food itself that was the gift. :D x

That makes good sense.
 
Evening all :)

I went shopping this morning and the weather was absolutely horrid. I got home cold, tired and drenched and I got a taxi back home (but had to make a couple of trips from the taxi to the flat with bags). I hadnt eaten anything and by the time i got everything put away and sat down it was almost 1pm! So I decided that i would throw a nice Sunday dinner together and take the day off plan. So I didnt eat anything. I had some coffee and some water. I made hubby a couple of pork chops. I made mash, various veg (carrots, broccoli, cauliflower and sprouts! yum!), roast potatoes (for hubby) and some yorkshire puds and gravy. I had a small-medium sized plate of everything except the pork and roasties. it was delicious and warmed me up. Cramps havent been too bad today but Im bleeding pretty heavily so that made me feel a bit better. We've just had apple pie and ice cream. When I say "we" I mean that hubby had a dessert plate full, Tabby had a small slice and a bit of ice cream. And I got a small plate to "share" with Zoe of which I got far less than she did. LOL Which is fine. Im stuffed and we had a beautiful family day (once I got home!) and we are all going to go to bed around 8:15 and once the girls are asleep hubby and I are going to watch The Hobbit in bed. I hope I can stay awake that long! lol

Back on plan tomorrow, beauties! Ive already planned out which flavour cakes Im having (I bought silicone cases today too...yay) tomorrow, then will have chili and swede chips and a bar. woop!
 
It really did feel cold today, didn't it? I think your 'warm up' meal sounds lovely. Apple pie too. Yum.
 
Sounds like an ideal day.
 
Morning

I have cramps from hell :( Im agony and bleeding so heavily. Boo. Obvs didnt weigh today. Might not til TOTM goes. Ew.

I have my doctor's appointment at 9:30 this morning. Gonna ask her about the skin, I need a new inhaler, gonna ask about PMDD treatments and about my heel. She will be so glad to see the back of me after the appointment LOL!

Afterwards Im going to get my eyebrows waxed and then to the bank, them home. Will make my cupcakes then. I had a terrible night last night...hardly slept...so Im hoping the girls will nap today so i can! lol.

Have a good day all!

I'm so sorry -- it's one thing after the other. What is up with the heel (did I miss something)? I hope you asked for a longer appointment.. our surgery just rushes you.

I need to get my brows (and lip waxed) -- I was going to try for a walk in on Saturday, then I remembered there was a power outage on the base and everything was closed. Almost everything is closed on Mondays -- so tomorrow it is. Hopefully, they'll have time.
 
Well...Im back. Pretty much mostly no joy...as usual. LOL.

No on the skin removal. No on the PMDD help, unless I want prozac. Which I dont. Got my inhalers. And she has referred me to a specialist for my heel (I have plantar fasciitis.)

I pretty much expected that outcome anyway. So its fine.

Just made my cupcakes. They didnt rise as much this time, strangely. But theyre still tasty. I made 6 but theyre super tiny. lol. Its fine. Ive just had 2 and Im stuffed. So im guzzling the water now and relaxing a bit before I go make the girls their lunch :) x
 
Sorry -- but not surprised.
 
Yeah. Me either. They don't help fat people. If youre a smack head, they'll give you methadone. If youre a smoker, they'll fund your patches to quit for...forever. If youre a drunk and need a new liver, of course you get that, no problem even though you and everyone involved that its just a license to drink more. No AA meetings or anything like that are required. But if youre fat and want help with weight loss - be it surgical or otherwise - or youve actually managed to lose the weight yourself - be it 20lbs or nearly 200lbs, ya get nada. *shrug*
 
:( :(

I don't think people realise that us fatties don't want to be fatties, if we could have chosen we would have been slim always and stayed slim...if it was *that* easy to lose weight or not gain weight then there would be NO fat people! So why are more and more people fat? And why are they prescribing diets high in carbs and low in fat that make it worse?!

THIS COUNTRY!!

I feel your anger and wuv you xx
 
Haha. Thanks honeybee. Its not even angry, that I am. Its more....resigned and frustrated. lol. Ah well. Maybe when i go home...i can wangle it through my insurance. There will be far more pressing things then though...but at least i will have some help and support in the form of my sister and my mom (to help out with the girls, should i manage to get the skin removed and need some help during recovery time)....things happen for a reason and realistically, I dont think I could have managed to have it done here anyway because Mal would have struggled to get the time off and juggle the girls and everything while I was recovering. So Im ok. :)

There should be FAR more support for fat people though. And far less of the attitude that we've done it to ourselves and to just deal. lol.
 
Morning K,

Great planning. Sorry you're unwell. Food sounds lovely. Good luck with the experiment! ;)
