Beelishy's VLCD Weight Loss Adventure!!

Morning :)

228.4 today. Which is fine. And better than expected, tbh. Overall, a 1lb gain for the week. But that will be rectified by staying on plan. Anyway. I have to do this. I put my jeans on yesterday to nip to the shop for some milk and they were really tight. And my belt (was unnecessary!!) would only go to the first hole. I cannot have this. So I have started off today as my final restart. A PROPER restart. I can. I will.

I got up and made the girls their toast and got my cheese string (i bought some to tide me over until my shopping comes with the babybels for the rest of the week!) and a coffee and water. Ive had my little bit of cheese and im quite happy, funnily enough. lol. Im not hungry and i dont really even fancy anything else. The major test will come tonight. The hardest time of the day for me, without a doubt, is from about 3 onward. So I will either need an early night or a hell of a lot of willpower and determination to get me through.....

but then..as Im typing this, I remember that I ordered sf jelly to have in the evening. So that should help tremendously. :) Either way...It HAS to be done.

I really must be at goal (or within 10lbs!) by my birthday. That is all there is to it.

So here we go...again.

----

Food today:

1 x cheese string
1x babybel cheddar
1x spag bol
1x pancake
3 eggs
150g quorn with 30g mushrooms
sf jelly

905/46

which is excellent - and there is LOADS there. seriously. loads. so i have absolutely no excuse and no reason not to stick to plan now. :)

--------



so today my friend M wanted to go to the local market. we are thinking about going halfers on a stall to get shot of a bunch of crap that we have lying about. it will help us by hopefully making a bit of extra cash and also by getting rid of stuff so i dont have to try to bin it etc. So we are going around 11:30 - after my shopping has been and gets put away...and lunch gets made for the girls. I sorta cant be bothered...but sorta glad to have an hour or so out without my girls. Love them more than life itself..but sometimes we mothers just need a bit of peace lol. I do feel awful though because she woke up asking what we were going to do today. Where were we going to go....what adventure will we have today. She's gotten used to going going going lately. And so she expected that we would have plans for something fun today. And we totally dont. LOL. Im going to have to think of something while im out with M. I feel guilty going when my little one woke up bored. HAHA. Hubby tried to tell her that we arent going anywhere today but not to forget that we are going to Edinburgh again on Wednesday. She said she knew that but still wanted to do something today. lol Cant blame her, really. Oh and speaking of...I told hubby that we need to plan to go to Nandos so I can stay on plan. I looked at the train tickets and didnt realise we had booked such an early train. 7:25am!! So Im was planning to pack some pancakes. But we get the 6:30 train back and its meant to be 20+ degrees so Im kinda...not really loving that idea. I dont wanna lug them around in the heat all day. I most certainly dont want to get sick. The atkins bars seemed to make me very windy and ill....and so hungry. So Id rather not go that route either. So Im not entirely sure what to do...or what route to take but I will definitely stay on plan the absolutely best that I can. (Also, really need to get some proper bars for days out!!)

Anyhoo.


Im off to get hubby's breakfast..I can hear him banging and clattering around in the kitchen. lol. Have a nice Sunday all xx
 
had my shopping delivered. and then headed out to the market with friend and took Tabby with us. had a nice time...i mean...its just a local market. oh. except in the several years since ive been...theyve now got loads of food stalls. not good. brownies and scones and allsorts. but...i resisted. because I AM ON PLAN. lol.

so..had my pancake before i left. and an egg and a cheese string. and then went out. and when i got back i had spag bol and another egg. then had a long sleep with zoe, kinda unintentionally. but it was nice. woke up at 4 and started dinner. ended up having 150g quorn with mushrooms but had it over 120g salad leaves. just had my jelly and a gouda babybel. and thats me done for the day. not as much water as i'd have liked. maybe 2.5-3L but thats ok. i will work on that a bit more tomorrow when im home. today was the first day in a long time where, although i had cravings for rubbish (thanks, carbmonster. you jerk) i didnt actually give in to them. lol. so....HUZZUH! Bedtime soon.....Tabby is exhausted.
 
May start this tomorrow....hmm...

Morning.

227.2 today. Not amazing but its downward so yay! And i felt fine, overall, yesterday.

Got up this morning and had a babybel and having a coffee and some water. Going to work towards my 4L of water today. Food:

Pancake
Chili
3 eggs
2 babybels
sf jelly

878/37 -- HUZZUH.

Going to have a good day today. Im excited to get this birth certificate and then sort out getting the courier to deliver it to the embassy and then finally getting the visa etc etc. AND ALSO. I dunno. Just feel a lot better today :)

It has been SO quiet around here lately. I guess people kinda figure if they havent gotten their "beach bodies" for summer by now..they may as well wait until after summer/hols etc. LOL. I wish I was having a holiday *sob* hahaha.

have a lovely day all xx
 
So Ive had so far:

1 babybel
1 egg
1 pancake

I had forgotten to add in my little bit of salad that i have to it takes my cals to 918 and carbs to 43 - but thats fine. cals are a bit high so i may drop an egg. which would make cals for the day 835 - much better. So yes. todays numbers 835/43 and lots of bits to pick at/grab through the day to keep me going. Ive already had 2L of water, today as well. And 2 coffees. Its just after half past 10 so Im about where i should be for the day. plenty left and feeling nice and full now.

Waiting for UPS to get here. Argh! LOL. i hate the waitinggg. Hurry up and wait...this seems to be my life lately! lol.

So..we have decided to take the kids to Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh on Wednesday and on the Hop on - Hop off sightseeing bus. Pretty excited now! We went to Our Dynamic Earth ages ago....before we had kids. And I cant fully remember it, tbh. But Im pretty sure they will like SOMETHING there. So yay. And....Its gonna be a really early train up though....it leaves at 7:43am! yikes. So this is gonna mean we have to be up around 5:45ish so we can be to the station around 7ish. I hope Zoe sleeps a bit although i doubt she will. lol.

Hurry up UPS!!
 
Hello i'm not meaning to be awol!!!

I've not been on plan this weekend so clambering back onto the wagon today, craving brioche which I don't even have ever!!! But saw a pic of it in a book lol

Will catch up properly later, almost at go live and work should calm down after tomorrow *cry*
 
yes, good luck Lou! <3

Clin...I havent. I think the only thing I can really do is pop to morrisons tomorrow and get a couple of atkins bars :/ And pray they dont make me sick or uncomfortably full of wind. We have already planned that we are having dinner at nandos...so i can definitely have chicken and salad for that meal...but the rest of the day is just...*shrugs* I can pack breakfast for the girls and a pancake for me. But lunch...no idea, yet. Might do BK MCds as they do salads. or bella italia or something like that as tghey do chicken and salad too. im going to stay on plan though... so thats why i will get the bars...just in case i cant have food.

My sister's birth cert arrived today! Yay! And my friend is going to take me to the DX service centre (its somewhere a few towns over on some obscure industrial estate!!!) tomorrow to get it sent back to the embassy. whew!

nothing else going on today. oh..and i meant it seems quiet in general. even updates and comments etc on your own diaries have been sparse! lol.

right...lunch time. chili. YUM!
 
morning beauties!

225.8 - so i justttt scrapped back to 225 lol. I havent seen that in a while :/ anyway...yay. I know its kindaaa coming off slow but its coming off...so yay! i also know that TOTM is due within a week from today. And boy do I feel it. lol. Anyway. I am going to just keep on. Decided to go just get 2 atkins bars and have those and a salad with some chicken tomorrow in edinburgh..and be done with it. :) I can have a pot of sf jelly when we get in, if im feeling peckish. it'll be quite a low cal and low carb day. so i might have a couple of boiled eggs in the fridge for when we get home, too. just to thwart any potential inclinations towards picking at bits i shouldnt...in case they should arise.

im off to the lovely DX office on that lovely industrial estate today. its absolutely GORGEOUS out. the sky is a brilliant, morning-blue colour. it LOOKS like summer. :D
Im boiling eggs now...having a coffee and gonna start my water.

food today:

Pancake
2x babybel
spag bol
quorn and mushrooms with a bit of rocket
sf jelly

831/45

have a great day all!
 
Hey lovely well done on the 225 :) you sound upbeat today!!

What Clin said about almost getting to overweight...three times I got stuck just above 'overweight' and then went backwards....I didn't really think about it at the time but I think it is definitely a tricky bit to get through psychologically though I don't know why!! Why are we afraid of success?

Have a fab day in the sunshine :) :)
 
I think we're scared of all the things we're going to do 'when we're thin'. No excuses left - even though it's what we really want.

Great news on the drop. I find the coconut Atkins bars don't affect my stomach as much. Likewise the breakfast type ones.

Have a brill day tomorrow and know that it will be tricky food wise but imagine coming back and telling us how you stuck with it ( that sometimes helps keep me on track).
 
Sadly...morrisons didnt have much in the way of atkins meal replavemtn bars. so i ended up getting a couple of the hazelnut (only kind they had!) crunch ones...and i have niw remembered i dont really like them :/

i was considering getting the coconut ones because those dont hurt my tummy either but it seemed too much like just having a chocolate bar and the thought actually made me feel guilty (!!!) - the more i think about it, though...the more i wish i had. :/ they had the coconut, the crispy choc and the peanut caramel (omg so yum) one. *sniff* lol i could have had one of each and my salad and STILL been within range. !! lol

been busy as all heJJ today. its been glorious sunshine and got the DX thing over pretty painlessly. although my friend, M, did take a couple of wrong turns. we always do when we get out and about to places we dont often go...or have never been...or places that are more rural. Do you guys know the story of Zoe's birth?

M was on standby to rush us to the hospital which is out about 15 miles north of us...in a much more rural town in Northumberland. Anyway.....it so happened that at ab0ut 7pm i rang her (had been in latent labour since about 9 or 10 am that day) and said she was now off the hook for the night...if i need anything through the night i would ring my other (now former) friend R, who is also a midwife (but lives 30 mins away, in Durham!) Except I woke up at 1am in full blown labour. so after several calls to the midwives station at the hospital and several times them telling me that i couldnt possibly be ready to come in as i had JUST gone into labour and this was early stages etc etc and to just wait it out a bit longer....at 2:45 i rang M in a panic as I was then at the point where i felt like i needed to PUSH (!!!) lol. so i M, who lives about a 7 minute leisurely stroll away from me got dressed and SPRINTED to my house...and was there 5 mins after i put the phone down. so we all bundled into her car (including a half asleep Tabby who had no clue wha t was going on..at 2.5 year old! lol) and we managed to get there without me giving birth in the car (but i did give birth 12 mins after i got OUT of the car!) and with only getting lost ONCE! hahaha. she took a wrong turn. but to be fair....it was dark and rural-er than we are used to. ROFL.

so when she offered to take me to this sh!thole we went to today (LOL) she said "and dont worry..at least if i get lost this time...youre not about to pop out a baby". it was hilarious. and we did. get lost. a few time (in a row) we took the wrong turn or she went the wrong way on a roundabout. haha. and at the last roundabout, on the way back....we were coming up to it and M said "oh...i will go the right way this time..watch me!" and zoe, from the back seat, says "a circle. ooooh nooooo!". this had me creased with laughter because my youngest isnt a girl of many words. her sister can blab her England (like me!) but zoe doesnt talk much. and the fact that even SHE got the hilarity of it all...priceless.

anyway. totally off topic. but it was a good time..and M is definitely one of the main things (people!) i will miss SO SO much when we leave. she's like family!

so. hubby will be home in an hour and a bit and he wants tuna sandwiches tonight..which is great ...because tuna makes me gag so even less chance of me picking at anything whilst putting their dinners out. hahahahha. i think i will just employ the tactic of putting one of zoe's poo nappies on the floor in the kitchen while im making food that isnt for me. that'll deeefinitey put me off! hah ew

hope youre all getting on well :) xx
 
Its going to be far too hectic etc tomorrow morning to bother weighing and logging it so Im just going to leave it...and actually...will probably leave it now until WI...or at least til friday. Im pretty happy with the downward trend. So Im going to try not to stress or obsess over it. (She says...)

Ive bathed the girls and showered...hubby is taking the rubbish out and having his shower. Then Im going to go in and pack our bag for the day and wash up the dishes....book out tickets for Our Dynmanic Earth..etc etc. And then it will pretty much be bed time.

Im off now to check bus times for the morning to weigh up whether it will be worth saving the nearly £10 on taxi fare by taking the bus...or not. lol

See you on Thursday! :) xx
