Still feeling strong, concentrating on things I can do to be organised and pro-active. I am such a lazy slob it's unreal! Tonight it is going to be the car, it is disgusting inside. It's never ever been cleaned out and I carry people, dogs, horse feed, hay and straw in it. You can imagine! The outside has never been cleaned either, I justify it by saying it's my farm jeep and there's no point cleaning it as it'll be filthy in 5 minutes again. But now I'm struggling to see out of the windows and mirrors...lol! Ooops
It needs new tyres and I can't have them put on until I have cleaned it out and it needs to go into the garage next week really as anti roll bar needs fixing and it's started smoking. So the car it shall be tonight!
Next challenge is the garden. Only half the lawn is mowed as the mower broke, but my neighbour has fixed it now, so can't use that excuse anymore. Also, the brambles and nettles at the bottom of the garden are now attempting to take over the rest of it, so got to get them under control. Finish building my pub bench and weed my borders. Maybe will have a go at the garden tomorrow night! I love sitting in my garden, but it's so overgrown these days it's always full of midges. Yuk!
Today so far: 1L of water, 0.5L of fizzy water, 3 white coffees, 1 coke zero, banana and chocolate tetra.
Still need another litre of fluid really, feel naughty because most of my intake is on fizzy juice and coffee.

I've made it through day 2! 100%...so chuffed with myself, and it's been so easy, can't believe I'd made such a big fuss about it up till now.
And I finally cleaned out my car, today has been a good day
Weigh in tomorrow, can't wait. Looking forward to seeing those scales going down.

Yay well done Kerry another day in the bag!! I'm putting off mowing the lawn too lol. Yesterday my excuse was that I'd been on nights and it was the little girl next doors birthday party, didn't want to disturb them. Todays excuse was it looked like it was going to rain (there was one cloud), tomorrow.... we'll see, might actually get it done tomorrow. Who knows?
Just had a bar for my tea, and I'm going to have a cuppa then early night I think, try and get my head back into gear. This afternoon I was chatting to a girl I work with about diets etc and she told me she used to be 22st. I was stunned because the whole time I've known her (at least 10 years) she's been no more than a 14 but usually a 12. We had a chat about how she did it, she'd had a bad pregnancy cos she was big and decided enough was enough. She said maintaining the loss was hard at first but her body got used to it soon enough and she stopped having to think about it so much. But she gave me one massive piece of advice about getting to target.
Once you get to your set target live with it for a while, see how you cope with it, try going lower if you want afterwards but give it a bit of time at target. The reason being, that her settled weight is actually about 7lbs more than her ideal target weight. She can pretty much eat take away if she wants, eat a chocolate bar if she wants and only have to do a little bit of cutting back or more exercise to compensate. When she was 7lbs lighter she had to constantly watch what she ate to keep at that weight. Another friend who's lost 4st has said pretty much the same thing.
I hope that makes sense, my thoughts are a bit jumbled, tried to get it all down without forgetting anything.
When I originally started CD my target was 11st, just inside normal BMI range. But this time I've upped my CD target to 12st and hopefully will go on to lose another 7lbs on SW. So we'll see!
Have another good day tomorrow xx

Oh and have done a peestick and I'm in ketosis! But then I knew that by my breath...lol. I've got this horrible feeling that tomorrow is going to be much harder as after weigh in I will be wanting to reward myself. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it though, am now off to have a nice hot bath and get some shut eye.

Sounds like a sensible idea, I have maintained at 17st 13lbs for the last 4 years give or take a few lbs, I guess I just settled into that weight and what I ate maintained me. So I will just have to learn when I get to a lower weight to live with what it takes to maintain at that weight. I am just hoping as I drop down that I will learn not to miss the bad stuff.
I've been sat here watching tv and all the ads about food for the world cup, one came on a minute ago for pizzas and they looked lush! For a second I felt like going to tesco and buying one, but as quickly as I thought it, it was replaced with the thought that I am fat because I eat ****! And then it passed

I go to my CDC straight from work. So about 6pm, then home to cook Scott tea....hoohum! I'll be fine, it'll be the first of many times I am in that situation, so will have to get over it!

You'll be fine hun can you make Scott something you're not so keen on, just this first time? Then once you've overcome this time the next should be easier.
I've gone to bed now, watching tv. I'm shattered now, I always feel like this the day after the recovery from the evil night shift. I love my bed!

Day 3 is here Kez yay! Stay strong today, you've already had 2 good days so today will be no different! I went to sleep quite early last night and I thought I slept like a log, I woke up in the same position still clutching my tissue lol but the sleep app says no!! Looks like I tossed and turned all night. No wonder I'm so tired this morning.
Hope you have another fab day hun xxx

Morning and Thankyou ladies! Looking forward to weigh in tonight, my scales are showing a loss, but not going to say it out aloud. Confident though that tonight will be a pleasant experience!
I'm feeling achey today, my legs feel like lead, it was a real struggle climbing into the car and up the stairs to my office. Do you reckon thats down to ketosis? Not feeling particularly cold and not snotty like I usually am.
Here's to a good day for all of us!

My legs and my mums legs ached the first couple days, I don't know why but it's like a deep dull ache. It passed off after a few days. Haven't had it this time round! It might be too hot to feel cold at the moment, i'm not particularly cold either and I'm well into ketosis, so you probably in the k by now!!! Xxx
