Day 9 - Part 2

Feeling really good and motivation is at a high at the moment, just cooked my daughter a gorgeous tea and to stop myself from being tempted I had my shake made up at the same time (hot) so i could sip that whilst cooking hers.....

Have had another good 100% SS day and feeling stronger and more in control every day

was feeling a bit queasy this morning and only managed half of my porridge, then went to have my pamper session at local hotel (eyebrow tint and shape, eyelash tint and gel nails). Went back to work and had vegetable soup and then tonight had the cappuccino shake hot with half a spoon of coffee added in and it was AMAZING!!!

So thats it, I feel good and the weight loss is starting to show, had my first "Have you lost weight" comment today and couldn't stop smiling.....such a great feeling and so worth sticking to 100% for the time being.

Day 10

Day 10 and I'm feeling sooooo good. Am now officially in ketosis, the pee stick finally changed colour today Wore my black skinny size 14 jeans to work today, haven't been able to fasten them or even get them on for so long and that made me feel even better this morning. Especially now Im starting to get comments from people noticing my weight loss...makes it all worthwhile and I'm so glad I'm now sticking to 100% SS

Started the day with a banana shake - have decided the porridge is just too heavy and gloopy so will just start the day with a shake. Then had the leek and potato soup for lunch at the same time as watching my colleagues devour some homemade chocolate iced cupcakes that someone brought in....but I was strong and felt really motivated when i said no I'm happy with my water

Going to have the hot cappuccino shake again tonight, really enjoyed that last night

Off for a pub lunch tomorrow as a colleague is leaving, already ordered my meal - tuna steak with green salad (no dressing) - finding it easier to pre-order so at least I don't have to panic and just start eating other things....I know I'm going to find it hard as normally I'd have a cheese and bacon baguette with chips :-( But I've come this far.

Also this weekend I'm at an anniversary party on saturday night then a kid's birthday party on Sunday but I am positive that I will not slip as I have my 2nd WI on Monday, I know the 2nd one is normally not as good but I'm determined mine will be better or at least the same as last week. According to my scales I need to drop another 2lbs to match last weeks loss....pretty sure that's doable, especially as I'm now in full blown ketosis I feel quite excited that my body is now breaking down all that stored fat....what a fab feeling

Ending the day on a happy feeling Looking back t this time last week it's so much easier and so glad I stuck with it, this time last week I was really struggling but now I feel stronger than ever

Day 11

Wow I can't believe I'm almost at the end of two weeks, it. Really is going soooo quick. I'm still feeling really good, still in ketosis and still putting up with the comments re. How daft I am to be on ONLY 400-450 calls per day.....my reply - well I'm not hungry, I'm not ill, I'm not tempted, I feel good oh and I'm losing weight

Started the day with a strawberry shake, although I did have to force it down as I'm really not feeling hungry now, then went to pub for lunch and I ordered a tuna salad (no dressing), picked out the peppers (yuck), tomatoes, onions and then only managed a very small amount of tuna and cucumber.....I'd usually have managed to finish the whole lot but I felt full soooo quickly, all my colleagues were amazed that I could eat so little and nt feel hungry, and nt be tempted by the baguettes and chips they had. Colleague got back from holiday and brought in some Turkish delight and some choccie biscuits and again I sat with my black coffee and didn't even feel tempted, this time last week I was really struggling and gave in to temptation (chippy Grrr), well I'm taking daughter to chippy again tonight but I know I'm in a much better place and I'm not tempted at all......

I'm finding that I'm addicted to the cappuccino shakes hot with a dash of coffee, so tonight I think I'll try the vanilla one hot with coffee.....I like trying them in different ways....

My mum is off to meet her CDC tomorrow for the first time, she's coming on holiday with me and so is hoping to shift some for the holiday and then continue when we get back.....I am slightly worried about how much weight I'm going to gain while away but I feel now that I'm more in control and I know what I can and shouldn't eat lol....will make sure I swim quite a few lengths every morning ;-)

So that's it, off to a family party tomorrow so I'll disguise the sparkling water as something else and hopefully no one will quiz me, find the family can be very outspoken and will go on and in about it if they knew.....im sure I'll be absolutely fine though....

Roll on Monday for next WI
