Hannata's Exante Diary - 45 days remaining (29/07)

I know I've lost weight, but then again I did have a VERY intense personal training session which I worked doubly hard on. I mean I was actually shaking XD So I figured I probably did about 800 calories in that session, and I would've NEEDED the calories really.

I only had the one drink as I was scared to go up and get more and them give me full sugar again.. probably the only saver in this shambles >_< And the portion of chips I got was not a massive portion by any standards. Luckily I averted my eyes from the toasties and bread stuffs.

I enjoyed the chips (probably the only thing I did enjoy of the night) so I'm not ashamed to admit I had them... and I'm full throttle ready to go again. Had half a shake and I don't feel hungry.. so its all good.

Think i've put myself back a few days as I've got a foggy head and bad breath like I did at the beginning of keto. So lesson learned :p

I had myself expecting a 2 or 3 at best for week 2 weigh in (I had such a good loss this week, and week 2 of any diet is always significantly less) so the fact I've already lost 1.5 is great. I'm not stepping on the scales for the rest of the week either. :)

I am a bit disappointed in myself, but really in the grand scheme of things, so much worse could've happened, but I didn't let it this time! Yay!
 
Well done on the exercise! I don't know how you did it on such low calories - I'm terrible. Glad you're going to stop daily weighing too! Now I need to take a leaf out of your book.

Firstly, well done on your amazing week 1 loss - that's fab!!

You made me smile with your NO MOAR EVANS comment :) I'm 29 and hate the place. Although I'm smaller now (biggish 16), I've been on my WL journey for so frigging long and avoiding buying clothes (not planning on fitting into them for long!) that I'm still wearing the odd Evans top. I'm hoping to re-learn how to shop (and actually enjoy it) by Christmas - I will wear a fab party dress this year!! And I plan never to have to go back into Evans again :)

Anyway, the tiny burger won't do you any harm, especially if it helps you avoid food when you're at the pub. As long as you stick to plan and count this as a WS day you'll be absolutely fine.

Keep up the good work missus! x
 
Sorry - somehow the post about the burger was showing as your last one...

It sounds like you've done a grand job of picking yourself up after the chips, and like you said, a line is now under it and you're back on track - well done :)

hahaha that made me laugh :D

Yeah I'm totally fine about it and I've accepted that I was silly. But I knew at the time that by eating basically ANYTHING else on that menu I would have felt a LOT worse today. So I kinda compromised with my demons, which is possibly a good sign for the future :)

well done to you for getting so far, and you are just NEARLY out of evans!!! Biggish 16 is great :) I will be so happy to get even there lol. The sad thing is the staff in evans are really nice... i'm gonna miss that part. But I'll probably still have to go in there for shoes as i've got insanely high arches and have to wear wide fitting shoes!!! But I get all my shoes in their sales for really cheap... benefits of having size 8 honking great feet eh :D
 
Oh no hope you feel better soon. Hard enough doing the diet when we're feeling fine. Hugs x
 
has a BL bar again (mint fudge) and its pure freakin boke... ah man I think I've broken my teeth LOL

thanks CG. I'm alright just think my body is having a downer. Felt a bit faint and funny earlier. just mega tired and work is being a **** today, making us do time and motion studies... just another way to crack the whip... yaaay.
 
I was going to get some of those BL bars today...glad I didn't they horrific!!

Even though I was a size 10 and I have size 4 feet - I used to occasionally get boots from Evans too, so you're not alone :p

Hope you feel better soon! Back pain is the worst :/

I've seen that a few people like them, but to me they just taste like plastic... I prefer tescos/asdas own bars, they're filled with oaty junk that taste oaty! I think the PRIMARY ingredient in the bl bars is like sweetner substance.... o_o

I probably still will get them from evans anyway :p I intend to get and do spin again when I'm back to eating so my calves will be nice and chunky... will need wide boots :p And can't beat a pair of up to the knee boots for like... £25! :D

I had 2 eggs for dinner... think i needed it, was feeling really faint and funny all day... odd. Hopefully it'll do no damage to my weightlosses :)

I can't imagine that it would have any negative effect Hanna. Your calorie intake for the day will still be really low. You deserve a pat on the back for making a sensible ketogenic choice (and stopping at two eggs!) when you're feeling so poorly.

Keep up the good work missus :)

Thanks pet. I think the BL bars had a negative effect on me LOL. Went to tesco this morning and bought about £13 worth of their meal replacement bars ^_^~

I feel a bit better today. Was on the scales this morning and they haven't shifted since last time (sunday morning) so I think thats the chips coming back to haunt me :p I was the same last week though... seem to have a lull mid week, then overnight i drop 2 or 3 lbs... v weird.

I'm still hanging on.. just need to do a 100% day again and it'll get me rolling in the right direction!! And I need to get back to the gym! If I'm still feeling ok thats exactly what I'm a do tonight. Just a wee run on the treadmill, nothing extreme
 
ok had a half bar/half shake combo for lunch at work... seems to work well for me as I feel like I'm getting two packs, whereas i'm only really getting 1 :p

totally in love with tescos MRB's especially the raspberry yog one. Omn nom nom <3

Feeling better today mentally and physically but if the sun is like this when I get home I'm gonna just forgo the gym and sit out in it. No point wasting this lovely weather :p
 
I've just realised why i've been feeling rotten, and its completely knocked me for six. I'm still having hypoglycemia attacks. Which means its not possibly caused by food or lack of. I've been on several diets, and non diets and I've had the same thing. I didn't catch on with keto because the hunger element is gone. I forgot to administer my drugs last week, was well and had a 10.75lb loss.. the scales have barely shifted since.

I can say without a shadow of a doubt that its caused by my drugs. I became very unwell after taking my first dose... I've had diabetic test after test, my thyroid checked too and all are clear. Etanercept has only recently been licenced for nhs use, so its very uncommon for GPs to know an awful lot about it. It's left to the specialist to deal with... I don't think my dermy will know a lot about weightloss... or anything of that nature... so who do I turn to?

It seems like when you are fat nobody wants to know... its like i'm bothering them with something really stupid when I could just stop eating.... when in fact i'm on seriously potent drugs that could very well be extremely damaging if I ignore the warning signs... is a big fat freaking episode of hypoglycemia once a week, every week, straight after my meds.. not enough for you doc? When I was on weightwatchers I was so unbelievably anal about counting everything that it made people think that I was such a weirdo/ocd, yet I wasn't losing the weight at all. I've no issues with Exante at all and I'll keep at it but I see it going the very same way.

Just wish I could rescue myself from this freaking massive cloud of depression that is coming to get me again ;(
 
Aw hun, hugs, can you not go back and keep pestering your gp? Or ask for a second opinion if that fails. Your questions are not stupid or pointless and anyone who thinks they are is frankly dim.
Hope your doc can suggest something.
 
Right... scales STILL havent shifted this morning ._. My wi is friday and I think I will do something stupid if I only lose 1.5lbs!!!

I havent gone to the toilet in... like... 4 days either maybe thats not helping.. i hope its that anyway..

gonna hit the gym after work, no excuses, hopefully will take my mind off it
