Day 11 - Didn't get chance to post yesterday (day 10) but all went well 
I went to the gym and did body pump last night. Forgot to have a shake right before I went though, and so it was a tough workout. Won't do that again! Felt like a right piggy then having 2 in a row when I came home (well, one before shower and one after lol).
Have fallen into a pattern of having a shake at 9 am, then a black coffee at 2 pm, a second shake at 5 pm and my last shake at about 8-9 pm.
Hubby and the boys are currently having sausage and chips from the chip shop and the smell wafting upstairs is a bit yummy. I'm not tempted to pinch even a single chip though as I know it could interfere with my ketosis, and I have been 100% on plan, and am so focussed right now to lose this weight and get healthy. I don't want to spoil it just yet! The smell is making my tummy rumble though lol. Hubby also cooked something late last night, no idea what, didn't ask, but the smell stuck around the house for most of the night and every time I woke, it was there! lol. Can't believe I haven't had a morsel of conventional food since 2 Jan! By the same token it's quite a relief still to be away from food and the guilt of whether I've eaten to much, not enough, the right this, the right that. My eyes and skin seem to have a sparkle about them as well. Not sure if that's from the extra water or from having had 100% nutrition for the past 11 days. I feel good

That's really brilliant Jayne! Well done you. I think when we're near food and manage to resist its like an exercise strengthening our self-control muscle so that when we are finished with LT our self control will be strong enough to keep us at the weight we WANT to be at! So next time they have a chippy tea (or any other delicious smelling food) think of it as a gym session for your self control muscle!

Day 12
Well, I don't know what happened to me last night after my post (probably the smell of all the flipping food!), but I got into a really negative headspace, found the whole evening such a struggle, and was struggling right into this afternoon as well.
This morning I stupidly weighed myself and am only 3/4 of a lb down since Tues. I know week 2 is notorious for a slower weight loss, and I'm not going to lose about a lb a day like last week, and my body has cottoned on to what is happening and is going to try and hold onto my fat, and I know official weigh in day is Tues and anything that happens on the scales between now and then is irrelevant. BUT it really played mind games with me. Have given myself a talking to, and feel lots better and focussed again now this evening I have drunk so much water, and am on the loo every 10 mins, which is driving me potty (excuse the pun lol), but it seems to have got me through.
On top of the water and one green tea, I have only had one shake so far. I'm not hungry. It's all cravings and all in my head! I suppose this is the time to learn. Will have my second shake shortly and then my last later tonight.

Oh Jayne! STEP AWAY FROM THE SCALES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:slap:
It's partly our obsession with them that's got us here in the first place. You brain knows that consuming less than 500 calories a day will lead to you losing weight, but your emotions are stronger than your brain. If you don't see those scales move your emotions can take over and make you eat again. Please don't let your emotions sabotage your fantastic efforts so far. YOU WILL LOOSE THE WEIGHT KEEP GOING!
Having given you s slap at the beginning I'll give you a big hug now! :bighug: This is bl**dy hard, especially when you've got little ones little around. But don't be like me, there are very few photos of me with my boys as they grew up because I hated myself so much! Make the change now Jayne. You can do it!
Just keep swimming (I love Dorey!)

I'm the same as Dusty - there are very few pictures of me over the past 10 years because I hated the way I looked so much. You should be proud of yourself for not giving into temptation. It must be so hard when you have got children but remember you are doing this for them as well as you. Well done. x

Hi Jayne,
you're up late with two littlies to get ready in the morning!!
I remember the stress of trying to force two boys to have a wash and then into clean clothes........What am i talking about, it's still stressful trying to get two teenage boys to have a wash in the mornings. (But at least they don't want me to dress them any more)

Well, I am just about off to bed (am in bed with laptop ) and realised I hadn't had chance to get back in here since this morning to check on your weigh in, and so I am purely here to look in on you HUGE well done (have posted in your thread ). Here's to week 3!
My 2 boys aren't to bad in the mornings. Takes a bit of motivating but they do get themselves sorted relatively easily Am dreading the teenage years! lol. My eldest is 11, so not long now! eek! lol
All good here today. Went to the gym this evening and it was SO much easier than last week Lots of energy now and appetite, cravings, etc. virtually non existent! Yay!

Nighty night!
I'm off up the wooden steps to slumberland now too! Normally well asleep by now, but only just got in from cinema and still quite wired from that. So nice warm vanilla shake with a sweetner in to bring me down and i'll be under that duvet sending up the zzzzs in 5!:zz:
Thanks for all the support. See ya tomorrow

Day 19 Still going along nicely (100%). Can't quite believe it really. There's a lot to be said for established ketosis! It definitely makes things easier. Dreamt last night that I'd eaten and come out of ketosis (first dream like this since restart) and was so gutted. Woke up very relieved! lol. Keep having fleeting thoughts of wanting to have this or that to eat, but am pushing them out of my head the second they get in there and not allowing them to root! lol. I also am having fleeting thoughts of how long I can actually do this for (even though it's relatively easy(ish) the moment). Am just literally going one day at a time though. I can't allow myself to think for to long beyond that. April will be my dodgy time as it's Easter (chocolate everywhere!) and it's also my 40th birthday (an excuse to treat myself). I think I'm going to celebrate my 40th properly sometime throughout my 40th year though (hoping for a trip to Arizona), rather than focus on just that one day, and if I'm still going strong with the weight loss, I'm not going to jeopardise it. We will see though. Like I say - for now, it's one day at a time!
