No it's a recent thing I'm wondering if it's diet related like ketosis related or sinuses xx

Morning ladies!

It seems my bladder is dictating my sleep pattern more than ever! Alarm went off at 545, and 5:09 i was up for a wee :/ not happy!!!

In the depot today, then i have to do 1.5hours tonight or tomorrow and then i'm off work until Tuesday. Got loads still to do and no motivation to do any of it, everything is just flying round my head about the move. Get the keys tomorrow at 2ish now so i can go and blue tape the room before Al comes round. Hoping it shouldnt take too long between the pair of us. Freya is very hyper about the whole thing, i'm dreading it. My body aches enough as it is, moving a house and unpacking it going to hurt!!!

How is your migraine today Autumn?

Tink, hows the Omni? I cant believe i set myself a goal thats 6 months away to get that! lol

Toodlies, barbados is a real treat. My friends go every year for a fortnight and this year they invited myself and my daughter along so only have to pay flights and spending money. I say "only" like its cost £40 lol but its cheaper! I'm feeling very nervous about it!

Tigg, how are you fire starter nearly at goal lady? How do you feel about working back up the plans? How often are you seeing your cdc? I'm nervous about getting in that place where carbs are....even though i still have 17lbs to go before i even think about it lol

Ian, hope youre on holiday now and having an ace time!

My bladder wakes me up at about 4 every day. The days it doesn't I know I've not had enough water. Naughty Tigg.

Barbados sounds hot! But stick my in the shade with a cocktail and a pool or the sea nearby and it sounds lovely! I'm sure you'll have a fab time!

I am nervous about carbs. I think in the long run I will minimise the carbs I have in general. I mean I won't automatically have potato or rice etc with every meal, that's not the bit I like best anyway and I don't really miss it! But I will have it and so reintroducing it in such a controlled way makes me feel better about it. It does get fiddle-y as you go up the steps and have to change your routine! I also know that I'll be looking at watching calories in the future. I don't mean I want to lose more weight (if I did I'd use Cambridge!) but I'm not tall and will be maintaining between 9-9 1/2 stone so I'm not going to be able to eat like hubby or most others I know. I will have to exercise to earn any extra calories. I need to learn what reasonable food in the right portions looks and feels like in the next few weeks and I think knowing the nutrition you get out is a way I can easily do that.

Good luck with the move Lizz. You'll be fine but tired. Make sure you don't forget water (busy always ends up meaning dehydrated for me!). I'm excited for you.

I has a 'new' meal last night. A sort of prawn cocktail with a mixture of prawns and cottage cheese with a bit of Tabasco and a dash of cayenne pepper on top of lovely salad leaves.

 

[LizzRob]

haha glad its not just me then Tigg!

I hope it is! we have a villa and a pool so we wont be going out every day doing activities, i'm very much looking forward to it.

I think you have a sound approach hun. I wont go back to eating loads of carbs either, and i have issues with some of the quantities in the higher plans. I like cous cous and sweet potato, but i'm not fussed about bread/rice/pasta. Id rather have a chilli con carne with just salad weirdly. I'll also be earning the calories for anything off plan. I have no doubt that i'll have some ice cream etc, but it will either be within my TDEE or i shall exercise like a demon the day after lol

Thanks hun I cant wait to move now. I get the keys tomorrow so i can paint Freyas room and then removal men turn up at 8am thursday! EEEEK oh i will be necking water like there is no tomorrow lol

that sounds lovely hun! I have a mix of quorn in smoked paprika and cottage cheese with rocket and mushrooms for this evening! Nom

Morning ladies
Head is still hurting and sticks still say I'm not in ketosis so I'm very confused indeed and wondering if they're a dodgy box???
Only thing I can think is food colouring in my jelly???
Scales are dropping which is good however I can keep this up if I'm hungry lol and in pain.
Today I am resting in the sun with the dogs reading magazines.
Tiggs and Lizz you both sound like you have it all under control for when it comes round to moving up. It frightens me to death and beyond step 2 by body holds onto everything so who knows how I will
Work it out but I have other things going on so will
Cross that bridge when it arrives.
I'm excited for your move Lizz wish I was closer so I could help.
We defo need a nandos bull ring date later this year. Tiggs it's only 1 hour 30 for me on the train what about you from London? Lizz it's on her doorstep and Tink I'm guessing an hour or so xx

 

[Tiggemma]

I think the fast trains it's only about one and a half hours too!

 

[Autumn76]

Oh super we shall have I have a shopping and nandos day after the summer then xx

 

[LizzRob]

i officially love how central birmingham is for everyone!!! I told my mom that i'd have to visit my little diet friends haha! one of my best friends Jemma, i met off BabyCentre becuase we both have 8 year olds. I speak to her daily now and we visit her and her lads in cambridge quite a lot

 

[Autumn76]

Well amigos I have come to conclusion these keto stix are faulty cos I must be in ketosis and even when I dip out I am back in super quick so ghis is beyond ridiculous. I've rang a local chemist and they're getting me some for the morning so will be interesting to see what they say just for peace of mind. Am sure Tink will know what I mean lol xx

 

[TINKERBELLA]

Afternoon all,

Autumn I completely get what you mean!! I pee on several sticks daily i really don't now why as I know I'm in ketosis but keeps me on track so why not??

I have a house full of 8year old girls - lol there's sylvanians everywhere!! So me and my little boy are out in the garden where he can't get into trouble lol!!

I'm definitely up for meeting in Nando's Birmingham!! It's an hour drive but would be super quick on the train!! And you girls know me if the word shopping is mentioned I'm there lol!!! xx

That's a pretty dress Autumn!! -- I haven't done any shopping today (I'm having withdrawals lol) // I've been swimming this afternoon and house full of children this afternoon -/ I let my daughter have her chocolate fondue set out and they had a wonderful time cutting up fruit and then smothering it with hot chocolate /- was painful!! But they gone now so I've scoffled my tuna salad and glugging my water!!

What's your scales saying at the moment Autumn are u close to losing your gain?? x

OMG thought u were going to say they got it everywhere on the walls or something then lol.
Said 14-12 this morning so if I can be 14-10 by weigh on Friday that will be super although means it's 4 weeks wasted as I was that weight 4 weeks ago (from this thurs) made me more determined to just do ss+ on hols. And as I'm back doing ss will feel like a treat still just need mix up my products a bit cos I live off mint choc shake. Tried fruits of forest and was yuck although banana was ok. I will make jelly on hols too as Lizz my saviour has posted me some gelatine die to Asda selling out of all forms. Jay bought me the dr oetker one and I followed instructions and hasn't worked (lying robbing sods was £3 too)
So I would like to be in the 13's for fri 25th July weigh in to give me a pre holiday boost. And 13stone or less for thurs 21st August xx
