Day 40.
Took OH to airport this morning at 6am
headed to gym on way back. Went to spin class and then burned 200cals on cardio machines then came home. Heart not in it. But did enjoy spin with carbs in my system. What a difference. Felt energised! So different when on packs.
Another 1lb on today. That's 5 1/2lb in a week of eating which isn't too bad cos normally I could double that, easily.
Today is my last food day. Got a ball tonight which has a 3 course meal. Ill have a drink but I'm not planning on too much.
Plan is onto TS tomorrow despite staying in a hotel tonight, with breakfast included. Hopefully I won't be too hungover and have breakfast! I'm actually looking forward to my sachets again. They are so simple and uncomplicated and they are just the right amount.
So I'm pretty chuffed with my week of food. I would normally make really terrible choices with lots if secret eating and stashes of crap, This time I made about 60% good choices and about 40% bad choices. That's great for me, it really is. I know I did well because I've got half a loaf in the bread bin and lurpak in the fridge. I'd scoff that until it was gone. Completely gone. It's unusual for bread to last in my house. I also had no alcohol. Normally I'd have lots to drink. Think OH thinks I've been taken over by aliens!
So what will I do differently next time OH is home to improve a bit more? I'll have a bit less. So in the Indian, I'll just have chicken tikka instead of mixed tandoori because it's way too much. I'll eat when OH eats. This time I had a bit of toast or something when really I didn't need to. He never eats crap outside of meal times. I'll try to do the same. I'll also continue the gym when I'm eating and if I have alcohol I'll have a little vodka diet coke as opposed to cider! I never had any alcohol this time but I prob will next time, just now and again.
Yesterday's food: we went to a steak house. I had chateaux briand. Lush. Next time I have that I could order salad instead of fries. Make myself feel blessed at having a gorgeous bit of meat. I did leave half if the fries because I was stuffed. Normally I'd force them down. I ate all the salad. Then I had remainder of the birthday cake. The old me is still here. I thought I could be immune to that cake. That I could throw it out. But no. I ate it. I also had 2 slices of toast later on (like a 'I'd better have a final bit if toast before TS') normally I'd have 4 slices of toast. Two pale bits while I'm waiting on 2 bits being almost burnt. I'd sit down with 2 slices on my plate but really I'd eaten 4. I guess I have gotten a wee bit better.
God, I've gone on a bit today haven't I?!
Have a fabulous day and keep faithful to your cause. It is worth it
can't wait till I'm on TS and back in ketosis with u all!
Hope my food posts haven't been too bad to read. I just wanted a record of what I ate so I can read back when OH is home again!
Adios! X
