Day 1 tomorrow

[LizzRob]

You both sound like you made it though the evening which is super especially considering you have food heads on. Remember that it's never your body that's hungry, it's all your head playing tricks on you!

I'm off to the cinema this morning and then the pub with my sis and daughter at 3 so they can have some food. And then we are making some healthy food....granola, granola bars, rhubarb and pear compot and roasted tomatoes.

With this diet it makes me think about my daughters diet and I want her to enjoy healthy food that comes from natural sources hence the selection of recipes. We aren't following any recipes actually I'm just making it all up but it'll be fun! She's my pallet as I can't taste anything lol

What are you both up to?

Well I survived thanks for the support ladies.
Scales haven't budged an ounce this morning which is a tad depressing but hey ho.
Jay was on call last night and had to go in which doesn't happen that often for him but he's now had 2 hours sleep and gone off to do a 5k run at park run so no doubt he will be sleeping whilst I clean later on.
It will be tonight that's my sticking point as I will want treats in front of the telly. Normally we'd go into town for a meal and drinks or round to his brothers for meal n drinks so I will have to cuddle my dogs and hope for the best lol. Have a lovely day Liz xx

 

[TINKERBELLA]

Morning ladies!!
We survived yay!!!

Lol at least if jays asleep he can't be cooking or eating in front of you!!

What you going to see at the cinema Lizz?? I completely understand about wanting your daughter to enjoy natural foods - how old is she? I feel the same about both my children esp my daughter as she's older xx

 

[LizzRob]

Well done ladies

Went to see turbo, kids special so it's only a couple of quid.

My daughter is 8. And we've just made pear and rhubarb compot to go with granola (being made tomorrow) and yogurt healthy breakfasts!

What you both up to today?

[Autumn76]

Oh that sounds nice the granola and compot.
Well I've got back to a house of chaos from having hair done lol.
Jay thought he was being helpful by taking bedroom curtains down as new ones arrived from next this morning. However I have then had to iron and press two huge curtains that are extra wide width and extra long drop lol. To top it off his brother and wife have gone shopping and jays said 'leave the kids here' yes all three of them who are 1,3 & 5 and my two dogs all running round (well except 1 year old) it looks like a bombs gone off haha. Xxx

 

[Autumn76]

On other news I'm just having first product now. Biscuits and chocolates were winking at me at the hair salon but I resisted. Ok also having an eBay frenzy which is making me giddy lol. I'm selling some cath kidston stuff and it's all going well lol. Jay says I'm easily pleased. I said 'I married I didn't I' Haha xx

Hey guys...quick question...will having a big bowl of mixed veg and an egg make me go out of ketotis? Xx[/QUOTE

No as long as u stick to the ss+ veg. Here's the list
Asparagus
Broccoli
Cabbage
Cauliflower
Celeriac
Celery
Chinese leafy greens
Courgette
Cucumber
Fennel
Green peppers
Green salad leaves
Kale
Leeks
Marrow
Mushroom
Red radishes
Spinach
Spring onions
Watercress.

The book says 80g of any of the above and 2 large eggs is an ss+ meal so won't do you any harm at all.

Sweet corn flushes out quickly get lots of water on the go. It's not like you've had bread or pasta so it shouldn't effect as a one off. I came out of ketosis tues morning after a blip Monday night but was back jn within 12 hours xx

 

[LizzRob]

[LizzRob]

Ooooooh and how's the hair!?!

Current loss: 12lbs and 7.5inches

 

[Autumn76]

Hey Lizz
Hair is lovely had my roots tinted and then just had an inside out plait as I'm going nowhere. My hair is wild like a lion and down to my waist so it keeps it in check.
House has been mental. Kids went home about 5-30 and jay went there for his tea lol. So I've got new curtains up and tidied house. Am now watching the fringe FBI thing on Netflix to entertain myself. Had a rice pudding for tea so got a shake left for in a bit.
Tomorrow is operation sofa out via the window day which is going to be chaos lol then I will clean the bathroom
Tried all my holiday clothes on and all a 16 or 14 had to swop some stuff I bought for a smaller size so that's kept me motivated too.
How you doing? Xx

 

[LizzRob]

Blimey I don't think I could cope with hair that long! Do you never get it cut?

Blimey I can't say I'd be looking forward to tomorrow's tasks much lol scary having to take windows out!

Wow that's super I get that was an amazing feeling!!

Well I've just done jillian michaels no more trouble zones 6 min fixes x 3! Muscles feel worked! Ordered 2 dresses for a wedding the end of this week and neither fit so feel demotivated tonight

Oh no how much dknt they fit by?
I've done the 30 day shred before now it was evil lol. I have to lay off exercise when doing ss or it stops my losses immediately.
I get my hair cut every 10-12 weeks yeah it's in really good condition as I look after it so much. X

 

[LizzRob]

By about 300 inches!!! My sister is a size 8 and even she was doubting it would fit her....the dresses are supposed to be a 12. Very annoying!

Oh really? I want to do the toning at the same time but without the calorie burn...isn't this possible?

I wish my hair was like yours! It never grows beyond my collar bones and it's really thin

My hair grows so fast I have to have my root tint done every 4 weeks at the latest and there's so much of it it's unreal
Oh no that's rubbish about the dresses but if they won't fit your sister then least you know it's not you. I have a dress for the wedding a week tomorrow just a simple black dress as the dress code is black tie. X

 

[Autumn76]

Another day over with. Had a shake a rice pud and a bar today think the variety helped me survive.
Thai time in 4 weeks I will be in Greece. Slightly worried about he food side if it all tho. Spoke to jay about it and think will let him go down for breakfast with his folks whilst I get ready then have a shake late late morning. Late lunch round the pool will be a 99cal Cambridge bar and jay said he will have a lemon and peanut bar so I'm not tempted by him eating. Then I will have a shake at 5isj when he has a beer and dinner in evening. Won't be able to know exact calories in evening but will stick to meat n fish with salad and possibly a couple of potatoes. That should keep me on step 3 all week and hopefully come back with a maintain which will be a small miracle for me as i usually gain 10kb at least in a week. It's not a boozy up holiday as we are going with his parents so that's one thing at least. I just feel happy that I have a plan even if I don't stick to it while week at least I know I have options.

Hello ladies,

Sorry I've had a super busy day that's why I haven't been on! The cleaning I started last night continued this morning and I have a super sparkly house now!but it didn't stop there lol I headed into the front garden and sorted that out aswell!! After a quick manic food shop - my friend and her children came for dinner (inc her little tiny baby) so it's all been a bit manic here!! But I 100% stayed on track even tho I got the chocolate fondue set out and the kids cut up a load of fruit n sweets to dip in it!!! I took the baby n hid lol to avoid temptation!! Felt seriously empowering that I did!! (Esp as I had been so busy today I normally start justifying that a little bit wudnt hurt).

Lizz don't feel demotivated it's obv the cut of the dress -- esp if they wudnt fit a size 8!!


Sounds like you've been busy autumn and it will continue with ur sofa being removed tomorrow!! It sounds like you've got Greece figured out - I think you have to be organised to succeed with this diet esp when moving up the steps!! xx

 

[Autumn76]

Hey I missed you knew you would be busy. I did that last bank hol with the cleaning n ended up bleaching the flags outside n all sorts. I got stuck into a box set called the fringe to distract me tonight. I'm amazed I've survived a sat night. Jay looks more miserable than me tho as we are staying jn lol. Might get his brother to go out for a drink with him when I'm away at the conference next week.
I did step 3 for a week before ss as we were away in the dales in a lodge thing and I exercised like crazy too so will do lots of walking and swimming and try my best. My new dress from boohoo is lovely and was only £20 I keep trying it on to motivate me.

Lizz I bought a Karen Millen dress in a 16 in sake for a bargain £20 and my sister in law with the 3 kids is a size 10 and she only just got in it. Crack pot xx
