Must admit that when i jumped back into the 70's and 71's this week a state of panic and a voice entered my head..... "i'm not going to make it, what can i do to get there now???" DESPERATION, PANIC AND FRUSTRATION.
Not going to give in as I have come far and feel comfortable now anyway and know that at least another 2 kg's should drop in a month and that it might be the case for me that slow and steady is the option for me. Doesn't mess with my head and I know that I will get there as i'm passed the hump!

Yep too true CC we all do it. Just have to realise that getting focused and when we do succeed at the weight loss thing is when we dont make it an obsession in our minds and put conditions on ourselves like I must do this by this time etc.... only to feel sh!T if we dont make it.
How are you, any loss to report?

Whilst you bunny's have all been asleep I have had a relaxing, productive and diet free day! I know not on the cards at all but here is what I've eaten;
1 CD bar
1 cup of grapes
50g of muesli and yoghurt
1 cracker/crispbread
1 coffee with skim milk
50g of cheese + 100g of light ricotta cheese
1 biscuit
6 white choc buds
dinner was a small plate of roast vege, steamed broccolli, cauli and peas, packet gravy and a medium wholemeal yorkshire pud!
I've drunk about 2.7ltrs of water and 2 white teas and will continue with tea and water until bed.
I've done ironing, shopping and the gym. Not to concerned about getting back on track as I know I will tomorrow, will make my food tonight. But it's always a bummer even though i've eaten quite healthy the scales are not going to be happy with me in the morning!!!! Damn them.
Lots of water and fingers and toes crossed. Will use my measurements as a guide tomorrow if numbers are up.

Well my own fault yesterday by leading a good, normal eating day..... scales say I've gained even after the toilet. However I woke up at 5 and took hubby to work for a 6am start and then went straight to the gym for 80 mins. I drank 600ml of water and when I got home went to the loo and on the scales.
I am sooooo tired going to have a kip for an hour and reweigh. My tummy is full of wind an is churning after the roast veges and gravy!!
Fingers crossed. I will take down all my measurements and the kg's when I wake and knock myself up a plan and record keeping sheet for the next 16 days. Day 17 is still planned as the start of my refeed for 10 days.
Be back soon.

Georgie yeah the shakes weren't enough to keep me going and being able to go out is just not that easy to intergrate into CD life.
Must admit with the devil in my head yesterday I did have a voice going just go back onto CD for a few weeks, go on.... I said no.
Really think using food to correct my body is the way at the moment, I can see the benefits of CD though (dont want to offend anyone). Just dont want a huge gain whilst away as my body when my body gets food and alcohol.

HI ABZ'S Sorry I missed you.
I had a good day after my upset tummy. I did have another day of eating off plan. Breakfast was good, I ate my 2 fruit but, had some tapas, 1/2 glass of red wine, dinner was 4 battered (i know!) king prawns (entree) and then a pumpkin and feta pasta (with no sauce??) just stir'd through. I was a gig watching a dancing to 4 bands last night and didn't eat more than 20 -25 individual penne pasta's, basically left about 2/3rd's of the pasta and just ate the pumpkin and feta and rocket.
This morning I weighed and then about 5 - 10 mins had to got the the loo (sorry for the notification of my bowel movements), same was yesterday???? So reweighed and ...... only a gain of 200g so weight is on 70.8.
I'm happy about this as the past 5 days i have eaten good lunch and breaky and then at dinner had a social occassion to attend to, which I've only drunk wine at once and in 10 days I have managed the gym 8 days and 1 day a walk. So exercise is going fabulous and my stomach is aching!! I am doing an 'ab' challenge in the fitness thread
Cant wait for tomorrow as back to work after the long weekend and will be able to have a routine. 17 days left before refeed and still wanting to be in the 67's.
I have seen the last few days as a sort of refeed I suppose and given that my low was 69.8 and I am only a kilo heavier than that now my body is functioning quite well with the different food and the alcohol. Even better it should respond well when I get back to plan tomorrow and fingers crossed some weight should budge by the end of the week!!
Sorry for the rant, I'm off soon for a walk and then breakfast.

Walk was great a beautiful day outside.
When i got home hubby and i had breakfast out.... poached eggs, 1 slice of bread, mushroom in a pesto sauce (i tried to get as much sauce off them before eating), roasted tomato and avocado and 2 coffee's.
After a cooked breaky i cannot eat until dinner time. So I've had a handful of grapes and a little bit of cheese on 2 crispbreads, 8 white choc buds (sweet tooth today as TOM is next week) and will have a cohen's dinner of tofu and vege.
Water so far I'm up to 1.7ltrs and plan for another litre by the end of the day.
Going to set some mini goals i think and add these to my signature. Wishing everyone a lovely day!

hey there bren. well i'm not a happy chappy this morning as my scales are showing a 3lb gain still. it is totm at the moment, and at least it isn't the 7lbs that showed up earlier in the week, but still
hopefully most of it is water retention and a week of being incredibly strict with myself will get it shifted. i need to lose more than an average of a lb a week!!

Thanks Linz, but think my zone temporarily expired this evening, seem to have eaten about 300 extra cals just through stress, bordem and pre - TOM sweet craving!!!
Never mind...... no scales for me tomorrow will wait until Wed or even Friday. I think it's a good idea to become less focused on the number now, I've been religious or 4 weeks now and could see me falling back into obsession.
Abz how about some smaller/newer goals for you signature. What about a 1.5lb loss a week? that way you will reach weekly lb's and on occassion blitz the 1.5lb mark???
Right girls are you with me on a challenge of 16 days of 100% (not even sure if I can do it) but more like 100% with our hearts and intentions to be strong and do the best we can for 16 days???
We could start with 2 days??

Cool lets aim for the best we can over 2 days starting tomorrow.
It doesn't matter that you have to eat a little extra of something your allowed (although we will aim not to), so long as you try to do the best you can! This way there is no false pressure or expectations, our goal is just to get there in the end.
