. My next job will be to chart any events coming up so I can work out what I can wear and have something to look forward to. 
While they ate.....not that strong yet. Well done on keeping busy today.....that's what I've tried to do......dogs will be sooooo well exercised lol......good luck for tomorrow
I have decided to organise my year in reverse ( just to be different) lol . I have written a little xmas plan for next year so thats sorted. It is also my daughter's 21st in September so I need to start planning what she wants to do to celebrate. I love making lists and plans although they rarely stay the same as life is just not like that but making a plan helps me feel in control and gives the impression that I moving forward lol
So fari so goodi...........Im doing well, very focused. I think my plan of committing to 6 weeks is working well mentally. Breaking it into managable chunks is a great motivator, When I did 21 weeks in 2010 by the time I got to re-feed I was mentally exhausted and ending up not re-feeding properly and that led into being out of control very quickly. I think if i actually do a re-feed week when I dont really need or want to.......then I will stick to the rules of re-feed and will look forward to getting back onto 100% im hoping that the break will re-charge me mentally and help to motivate me for the second half. The first time I did L/T it was so emotional and the concept of not eating seemed alien, but it felt more normal the second time i did it, and third time round it feels quite natural. L/T works amazingly well, its just once the weight has gone its so difficult to find the right balance to keep it off. Ive pretty much tried most diets, and made life very complicated for my self, L/T works as there are no choices no options no decisions no counting no converting no lable reading its just so basic. The danger lies when we have to go back to making the decisions and choosing options. My friend seems to have cracked her life long diet hell, she did LT to start her off, she re-fed properly and then instead of trying to stick to an over- complicated set of diet rules she reverted to the old fashion method. Calories! She found out how much she could eat before she put weight on and then stuck to it. She didnt always eat healthly, she didnt always choose wisely. but as long as she stayed within a certain number of calories she maintained her loss. Im going to try it
Well done, sounding good to me x x x
. Ive found my first week surprisingly easy, apart from a slight headache on one day ive had none of the usually side-effects that i experienced the last time. . Im so glad a started this in January, Ive always found that January goes so quickly with everyone making plans for their new year and the kids getting back to school. I started in March last time which was good as I was wearing nice clothes in the summer, so this year should be even better I will be looking good by april!! bonus!! . My family are used to me doing L/T too so they all adapt really quickly my daughter has taken over the shopping and cooking for the rest of the family im lucky that she enjoys it. Last time I loved to cook and bake for everyone else so Im sure I will feel that way again soon. For these first few weeks Im giving myself a nice break . So looking forward to starting week 2, then the weeks fly by.
. Im having a housey day getting all my jobs done. Looking forward to weigh in tomorrow as I like to see a number on my page to show im getting somewhere.. Ive definatly decided calorie counting is the way forward for me after L.T. Im not going to actually count everything all day and drive myself crazy, ive been looking at portion size in relation to my dish sizes and actualy weighed some basic everyday foods out so i know how much i should have without thinking about it too much. My daughter has a great book which shows you different portions and their calories it is a real eye opener! Im very surprised at what a healthy portion of rice looks like!! lol I think we just feel we should fill our plates up! lol. I knew things like biscuits etc were not good but when you see it written down how many calories in one tiny biscuit and theres no way ive ever just eaten one pmsl . Ive read every diet book there is over the years and ive tried most diets too but this time im going to stick to a daily calorie allowence and hopefully I wont put the weight back on.........
. Can wait for an official weigh in tomorrow, i usually like to go at 9am before my first shake but I cant go untill 12pm so Im hoping it wont make much difference. really looking forward to week two. I will say a little prayer to the lipotrim fairy to bring me a nice big loss tomorrow.
