Its a new day....

[dello]

Morning

I recently lost 20lbs on the Cambridge diet but took a four week break for a holiday. Today I am starting again for 8 weeks (before I have another holiday and a few weeks off) I lurked on this website but didn't post anything previously but found it a real help so thought I would get more involved this time! So just starting off by saying hello! I would like to lose 28lbs in the next 8 weeks but need to lose about another 35lbs altogether! I am quite excited to be starting again today and am hoping I hold onto that feeling over the next few days as I know it will be tough!!

Good luck with your new start dello! You were doing so well and are absolutely doing the right thing by coming back... everyone needs a little break now and then we r only human . Today is day 5 for me and its a bad one tbh but pushing through it as if I stop now i will never manage it! First weigh in is on thursday...excited! Im doing stage 2 810cals xxx

 

[dello]

Thank you and Good luck with the weigh in, seeing the numbers come down makes it all worth it!! I am looking forward to day five and the stinky breath!! My plan for this first week is just to work and sleep as I know it will get easier! Luckily my OH is away and I don't have to cook for anyone else and can just focus on what my new winter wardrobe will look like! Time flies when your having fun lol.

My other half is away too in afghanistan so only have to cook my little boy tea which is easier and even when i got bean juice on my finger i wiped it off instead of sucking my finger! Now thats dedication lol i was so proud of myself! Oh yes the honky breath is horrible . I work nights which i find very difficult as my stomach is in constant grumble mode. Roll on the weigh ins xxxx

 

[dello]

Lol that is dedication with the bean juice! Ionly have the dogs to feed and have never been tempted by their food.....yet!!

 

[weddingbelle]

There's still time hehe! How's your day been? xxx

 

[dello]

Been a good day one! Just tortured myself by watching Nigella, food programmes are my porn when on a diet!! I like to think of the hunger pangs as all my fat dissolving now lol. Has your day improved??

 

[weddingbelle]

Yes its not too bad now on my nightshift till 8am so will keep myself busy then go home and have a mint choc shake...my fave xxx

 

[dello]

Here we go....Day 2!! Glad to be working from home today, no foodie temptations!

 

[weddingbelle]

Hope you've had a good day! I've been sleeping off my nightshift and am in again in an hour. Still got 2 shakes left to have during the course of the night . I'm going into day 7 tomorrow then weigh in on day 8 at 4.30. Not cheated at all so expecting a decent result!! xxx

 

[dello]

Yay in ketosis by day three! Feeling quite good still, bit headachey today but not too bad!! Are you excited for your first weigh in?? I am hopeless and have already sneaked a look on my scales! I know I shouldn't but I like to weigh first thing with nothing on and one foot off the scales!! Good luck for tomorow x

 

[weddingbelle]

Hi hun I had my weigh in early as couldn't wait. Lost 6lbs woohoo! I was in ketosis by day 3 too. How are you finding it? xxxxx

 

[dello]

That's brilliant, well done. I am finding it ok at the moment, but I am really busy with work and have worked from home all week and been having early nights just to make it easier lol. How are you finding it now on week 2? When I started this diet in July I found my concentration levels really dipped and my memory was hopeless in the first couple of weeks, I am really hoping I cope better this time round! (my other half will kill me If I forget my shakes again and on a weekend away make a two hour journey four hours again!!)

 

[weddingbelle]

Wow your other half must adore you! Week 2 is going ok. i've been sole source plusing so far but want to give myself the option to eat if I find I need to My concentration levels are terrible and I still have the headaches but i'm actually too frightened to cheat now incase I ruin everything so i'm obviously in the zone! ha xxxx

 

[dello]

Ha ha he wasn't a happy bunny especially as one of our dogs gets car sick and was throwing up all over his car as well!!!

I have been starving today, managed to stay 100% although if I had of remembered about the eggs in the fridge I might have had one!!

I am so glad to see the weekend but usually it's all about eating and drinking so am going to have to think of other distractions!!

Hope your up to something nice for the weekend?

 

[weddingbelle]

Ah i wish I was but unfortunately i'm on nights tonight and tomorrow so will be sleeping sat and sunday away! Awww your poor OH but hahahahaha!! Congrats on staying 100% you're doing so well! I'm actually enjoying not going out on the weekends although still have to pay a babysitter as i've picked up extra shifts . What day is your weigh in? Can't be far off now xxxx

 

[dello]

Omg just woken up from a dream that I had taken a bite from a Krispy creme do nut and convinced myself I would be out of ketosis!!! Official weigh in is Monday night but I never seem to do so well on those scales, due to the days water and clothes etc so I sort of go by my scales at home and justify it by thinking that's what I will go with when the diet finishes!!

My current entertainment for keeping myself out of trouble now I have no social life is trying on clothes in my wardrobe that are too small and seeing if they fit better!!! I have things that are years old that I ordered from sales thinking I would diet into them - thing is they aren't really fashionable anymore!! ?

 

[dello]

Hooray eight pounds off!!! ?

 

[weddingbelle]

wow well done that's amazing!!!!! You go girl xxxxxxxxx
