Cambridge daily diary

[hellyhartley]

Yes, I've been doing CD ss 100%. My CDC wants me to start moving up the steps next week - I'm not so sure. I've decided this is Phase 1 and when I get back from my US trip, I'm going to set a new, lower, goat weight and start Phase 2. Want to be done with everything, including steps to maintenance by year end at the latest.

Ah good luck chick, how long have you been on ss?

I want to get to 9st myself which I think I can achieve by year end but when I get there I might drop my goal to 8st7lb. I'll have to see what I look like first!

When you going to America? Xx

Really not having a good day today. There doesn't seem to be enough hours to do everything, I won't get to sleep until 5am, my husband has been a sod and I'm bloody starving!!! Grrr!
Yes, it's TOTM!!

 

[hellyhartley]

I need to get out of this mood! I feel desperate to eat but I'm not actually hungry. I need the comfort! I'm gonna go to work early. Need to get away from the kitchen.

Hey h why don't you get some celery? In week 4 I just needed to chew something and my CDC said I could have some celery x if you like it it could be a life saver lol x otherwise just drink some more water or even have some green tea you can do it xxx

 

[hellyhartley]

Thanks hun. I haven't got any I'm out of the door in two minutes. Steve's on holiday from tonight so that's one lot of stress gone in the morning. I just need to buckle down bad get through it xx

 

[tizzy51]

You can do it! Drink some more water or have some tea - it'll help.

 

[hellyhartley]

Thanks guys. I didn't cheat.x

 

[LazarusD]

Go on h x you got this visit next Thursday?

 

[hellyhartley]

Yeah I've got a review in the morning??

 

[hellyhartley]

Felt a bit better mood-wise today. My friend came round and ate all my naughty stuff so less temptation in the house now

Wellness-wise I have felt pretty bad for two days now, really woozy! Every time I get up my head spins. Tried to drink lots of water but not feeling any better. I've had to clean the house in preparation for a house viewing tomorrow and take my husband to the airport at 5am, I'm assuming this it whats causing it.

Any suggestions? Xx

Keep drinking the water - it wll keep your blood pressure up a bit so you feel less dizzy. Also, if you are doing lot of activity, you might want to consider eating a little protein (ie. hardboiled egg, small bit of chicken). I do this on the days I work out, as otherwise I can get quite dizzy.

Oh fabulous! I might try that then. I love eggs and have really missed them so might try this and see how i feel tomorrow. I think i'm going to try and leave a bit earlier tonight. I really don't feel very awake! my eyes keep glazing over! x x

 

[hellyhartley]

Nope. I can't do it! I'm just going to bed. I'll see how I feel tomorrow and if I feel the same I'll call my CDC. I can't go off plan now!!

I'm the same, I've missed eggs and for some reason beans! - hardly ever have them! I feel a lot better today after a good sleep and I don't have anything left to clean so I'm just going to chill out. My cappuccino tasted soooo good this morning! Haha xx

Check with your CDC - it was mine who told me to eat an egg (70-80cal and pure protein so you stay in ketosis) or lean meat (100g or less). It really depends on the amount of activity you're doing and how dizzy you feel. My workout is 50min cardio, 20min strength and then I add, sometimes, situps, calf lifts, etc. I do that 4-5x per week and since I'm on ss 100%, my CDC was concerned that on the days I work out my calorie expenditure was approx 400 against a calorie intake of 500. The added protein is so that my body won't start using my muscles for energy.
