Well it has been a mad few days and a few more ahead, but we are getting there.
Diet wise I have been keeping to plan been taking my ikea coffee whisk to work with me so that I can have a nice hot soup at lunch time - I have had a few eyebrows raised, but the 'madness of Cookie' is not something new!
I am starting to get a little frustrated with the scales - still no twitch and its been a few weeks now. I could understand if I had been cheating, or doing lots of excersise and I was replacing fat with muscle or if I was very close to goal, but neitger apply and I am starting to worry that my metabolism is going to pot. I think I will carry on for anothr week an if there is still no movement I might try a week or 2 of calorie and carb cycling to try and stoke the metabolism before returning to the packs. We shall see.....
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I feel your pain!!
I guess we just have to do our level best to keep it in our heads that it will all be worth it in the long run (just wish it could be the short run though!!). Ive got everything crossed that this week ahead is our week and that our scale will strt behaving themselves!!

Feeling a bit sorry for myself today - TOTM has kicked in with kickass stomach cramps and to make things better Imhave infection - grrrr!
I have SOOO much to get sorted today and tomorrow before OH's journey on Weds but all I want to do is curl up into a little ball under a thick duvet!!
I have been running about like a headless chicken all morning - I am giving myself 15 min in bed before I try and get going again....
Ive had a minty vanilla shake this morning and probabaly going to go for a shepherds pie or red bean chilli for lunch.
Hope everyone nhas a great day and week ahea,

Well I have been AWOL as Ive just had a lot to fit in over the past few days.
Things should hopefully be a bit quieter for a few weeks.
Scales still not playing ball - in fact they have gone up by a couple of pounds
- I guess that TOTM hasn't helped with this so I am trying to not get too disheartened.
What I have decided though is that I am going to go ahead and do one or two weeks of calorie and carb cycling in an attempt to stoke up my metabolism. I am going to do this around the exante packs.
During the next 7 days I am aiming to have 3 of the days as usual - just 3 exante packs, interspersed with1 day of high (good complex) carb and low calories, 1 day of super low carbs, high protein and medium calories and one day of low carbs and high protein and calories. At the end of the week I will take stock and decide whether to carry this on for an extra week or move back to just the packs. If it works out I may do this periodically, perhaps every 4-6 weeks or at times at which the weight loss stalls. We shall see......
Hope everyone is doing well and has a great weekend,

Had an exante based day today.
I am aiming at a super low carb and medium calorie and high protein day tomorrow.
The plan mealwise is 2 boiled eggs and coffee for brekkie, grilled basa and salad leaves for lunch and mince and cauliflower for dinner....thats the plan anyway and then an exante day on monday followed by a higher carb day on tuesday.
I went shopping today got myself some funky new scales that have an inbuilt fat and water percentage function - very high tech compared to my old mechanical ones!! looking forward to trying them out tomorrow morning.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend,
