Kat1e's Diary - 7 years low carb - still learning!

Morning Katie :)
 
Morning Katie, day 5 of strict induction for me :D got to get those pounds into the bank prior to Christmas exces.
 
Evening all:)

Just finished my zumba class and standing in the freezing cold waiting for a bus- brrrrr! Great evening last night - stayed on for an hours extra belly dancing at the christmas party - great fun. Had to buy a new shiny bling belt as well to show off :D

Susie - got more energy in first month of atkins but it has definitely increased with fitness and lightness;)

Of up to town tomorrow for lots of coaching sessions. Otherwise trying to go a bit cleaner and greener this week after all that boozing - oops;)

Hope all well
Xxxx
 
Sounds amazing Katie!! Wow! :)
 
Morning chick.x
 
Morning all:)

Felt exhausted after yesterday - perhaps scheduling 4 coaching sessions in a row wasn't such a great idea as quite draining! Also no time for dancing and i'm sure that usually makes me feel brighter. Anyway - off to zumba this morning and looking forward to a boogie:D

Also feeling a bit less bloated - trying to make sure i get last weeks 2lb gain off and deal with the alcoholic weekends before xmas. Have cut my carbs slightly by ditching a few regular treats - my morning half slice of burgen toast and afternoon sf biscuits (dh has finished them lol). Also upping my fats by having more cheese for lunch and snacks (i dont have much normally). Also i have fewer dance classes this week so will be interesting to see if that impacts positively/negatively - i know that i am less hungry (as per gary taubes view that exercise isn't always good;) )

Was sorry to miss the minimeet yesterday at GBK but did end up having a mega burger - steak mince with cheese and bacon and big side salad. Atkins really is fun:D

Catch up later
Xxxx
 
Morning Katie, I think I'm going back to bed :)
 
LOL know what you mean Jim - I read your posts Katie and feel a bit knackered myself :D

Good luck with the food tweaking, I know you will figure it out quickly
 
Morning Katie... Yes coaching can be really tiring ... Hope the tweaks to your menu help with getting that 2lb off...

I love the raincoat - thank you! I wore it yesterday... I will be wearing your purple patterned top today - its a huge move away from baggy black so I hope I can just enjoy it... Would be better if I didn't have that gain going on lol :) x
 
Morning all:)

Zumba cancelled today due to the varsity rugby later so planning to test out my holiday solution - a playlist of youtube vids on the telly in the living room - might need to draw the curtains :D

Off to a friends for dinner tonight, not sure what i'll be served but likely lots of veg as other friend coming is veggie. So plan to have lunch in richmond with DH at tapas and stick to lots of yummy meat to balance the day;). Will also pop into m&s and pick up a couple more pairs of trousers - sick of never having anything to wear and not ready for the 16s yet (and how likely i could stay in them for christmas?) so think i will focus on that in jan. i do like Jim's suggestion of getting my more expensive pairs altered but it's going to cost a lot (scarily almost as much as a new cheap pair from m&s :eek: ) so i will plan to do once i've hit goal i think.

Di - so pleased to hear the coat is useful - not surprising now winter is here! Also hope you can get use to wearing some colour - think you will enjoy it:D. I must admit i always wear bright and patterned tops but try to get me out of black trousers.......! I am just branching out - i have a pair of dark brown jeans and a pair of dark grey jegging things (altho now too big so fall off lol);) Perhaps one day i will move along the spectrum a bit more......

Have a great day:D
 
morning katie!
great to hear your getting more adventurous in the colour dept, i love colourful clothes, and one of the things that inspired me to want to lose some weight was the fact that i didn't want to wear anything bright and cheerful.
 
Evening all, just catching up while waiting for trains!

Lol Bren, much more like a slug in between - snuck a nap in this afternoon:)

Had a good day - went into East with DH to find a pretty xmas top. Ended up getting a really nice sweater that makes me look skinny;). In the meantime tried the matching skirt....hmm 18 too big.....hmm 16 too big as well! Didn't like it enough to try any more but gave me a boost - still half an inch to those 16 trousers:D

Have a good evening all, train due now!
Xxx
 
I love the look of east clothes ... It might be a place that I shop in whenever the blinking scales decide to move again! Lol
