Liz's CD Diet to Goal

[Watergirl]

Had my final shake of the day - a hot choc mint and got through another litre of water. Feel like I'm spending all day on here like I used to

Going to have a bath soon - tummy feeling tender and I smell a bit manly (as we say in our house when someone smells!!) Finished work for the day.

Had another look for wedding shoes - am obsessed - but could find nothing that I overly liked. Another excuse to go shopping though.

Also did myself a weight loss chart in Excel. Found that if I manage 5lbs loss this week, then 3lb a week until beginning of September I'll be 10 stone which is my ideal weight. Keep thinking how nice it will be to go into the bridal store and hear,
"I'm sorry, but the size 12 is hanging off you. We'll have to order a 10!"

Hey Liz - just a quick note tonight as am off to bed early to avoid any further food temptations, and just to get onto day 4 asap! Anyway, hope you feel better by the morning, and as Lelly says keep hydrated.

Morning watergirl size 10 you will be.x

 

[Watergirl]

Morning everyone. Day 4 then! If I remember rightly, last time I actually prefered days 1-3 than 4 and 5. I am feeling teary, depressed, forgetful. Not fed up with diet, but it's playing havoc with my emotions.

Probably because you get a high from carbs and I am depleting them. Went to Parents this morning to drop off dog. Guess what I forgot? The dog. Not a good start. I think I am so stressed out at the moment and not sure how to relax.

We're selling the house, I am running a business (my best person left last week to move to Saudi and I am unsuccessfully trying to replace) and planning a wedding.

I nearly burst into tears this morning when my Dad said 'where's the dog?' Feel like I'm going insane.

This is in direct contrast to my happy mood yesterday and I'm pretty sure I felt like this last time at around day 4. Not hungry, or wanting food though, which is good.

Work is driving me insane right now - mainly the job applicants that I have to deal with. I love my candidates (I'm in recruitment), but it's the people that apply to jobs that stress me out. Anyway, enough ranting. My one and only member of staff is about to walk in, so will have to catch up with diaries later. Stupid world - want to go back to bed

 

[Watergirl]

Still having a hard time of it today, but BF is being a wonderful support. Getting the usual sabotage thoughts running through my head about just having one little thing, doing a higher level, having a BBQ etc etc.

I suppose I just have to realise that they'll be there for a while. Not sure why days 4 and 5 have been hard. Suspect I'm just getting into ketosis. Got a head ache today and have been so tired. Slept till 10:30 and then fell asleep this afternoon as well. Wondering if I'm coming down with something.

 

[Wales]

:wave_cry: been lurking (and eating) but glad to see you are getting back into the zone.

Congrats on the engagement and very excited for you about the wedding - special times...

I am back on SS tomorrow, - confirmed - email has been sent to CDC and I have said it out loud on here. I look at my reflection and see a chubby woman, not the slim person I became.

Am sure I will be back here for support, but perhaps not a diary at the moment, but certainly giving and asking for support.

Keep going you know the worst is nearly over x

 

[Watergirl]

Wow, you're back So great to hear from you and definitely pop in - I don't get many visitors!!!

Thanks for the words of encouragement. Yesterday was horrible and really struggled. Feel more positive today. Going to go through all of my summer clothes today, which should keep me motivated.

So, SS then! You've done it before, so am sure you can do it again. Be nice to have another SS-er around who understands the hard bits. Best of luck for today hun xxx

 

[alexmummy07]

Hey hun

Well done for your resisting - I need to take a leaf out of your book!
It will sooo be worth it come weigh in day.

Keep going, am right behind you x

 

[leeds123]

am really impressed, you seem to be doing fab! keep at it. are you still on the cross trainer?

 

[Watergirl]

Thanks Alexmummy - think day 4 and 5 are not fun at all - give me days 1-3 anytime.

Leeds - not doing cross trainer just yet till have more energy. Not sure if tired because I am not 100% well or if it's the diet.

Glands have been up for a few days now, but not feeling ill. Very tired though and slept in till late yesterday and today, needing naps too. Think I might have a virus or something.

Have planned to go walking with a friend on Tuesday after work to get fit. Don't want to go crazy with cardio, as I know it makes me hungry and don't think it's advisable on so few cals - last time I did yoga on SS I nearly passed out!

So will take it easy with walking until I go up the programmes and using slendertone. Once I move up I'll start on the x-trainer. Am a little sad, as I love the x-trainer and it makes me feel healthier, but it really doesn't overly help with weight loss.

Am also going to start doing some weights from Monday to tone my arms - got a year to get lovely toned arms for the wedding.

Don't remember the diet being this hard you know. Am in ketosis now - I can feel it, but it's taken till day 6. Think that's because I didn't prepare myself like last time. I even had a massive last supper 3 course meal, so probably had a lot of carbs to get through. Definitely think preparing is the way to go pre-CD. I would say I'll do that next time, but I hope there isn't a next time.

Not sure if I have the energy to clear out clothes today, although I know I'll enjoy doing it. However, I'll probably enjoy it more when I have lost more weight. Not really enough gone yet and my measurements are the same.

Anyway, off to read my book (the only thing that seems to effectively distract me) and drink a few gallons of water. I cannot wait for the head cravings to go. To think, last time I did the diet I got to the point where I just saw food as something that I didn't do. That made it so easy.

 

[Watergirl]

Have decided to do SS+ today and not sure about the rest of the week. The diarrheoa has been going on for some time now and I am feeling horrendous. Been for a lie down, but am dizzy and achy all over. Think because I have an upset stomach everything is going through me and I'm not getting nourishment, which is why I feel so bad.

Hopefully I'll feel better after eating. Got some chicken and mushrooms in the microwave, steaming, at the moment. If I feel better I'll consider doing SS+ instead of SS. If not, I'll stick to SS.

 

[Watergirl]

Feel positively revitalised after that meal and it was lovely. Think I'll go and buy some fish tomorrow. Are we allowed prawns now?
I prefer fish. Anyway, feeling human again. Will just have shakes during the day and then see how I feel in the evenings.

 

[alexmummy07]

Hey Liz - yep you can have prawns or 2 eggs now too - the list has been updated in the FAQ page by KD I think... xx

 

[Watergirl]

Thanks - good to know. Will go and look at that. Still feeling a lot better, better than I have since starting.

 

[alexmummy07]

I love that the list has been updated - although just thought the 2 eggs are def on 810 - but not sure on quantities for ss+.
I love spring onions, so am v happy they are on now xx

 

[Watergirl]

Could only find the list for 810. I love spring onions too. I love prawns and fish, mushrooms and spring onions, so I can feel those combos coming on! Already not tired - would normally be in bed by now. Funny how such a small amount can make a difference.

 

[LellyCD]

Hi Liz,

Glad you are feeling better, maybe ss+ is the way to go for you especially as you have more energy. Eggs n prawns are 810 though not ss+ but lovely chicken, tuna m fish on the ss+ though.

Enjoy and have a great day!
xx

 

[Watergirl]

Thanks Lelly - should have read that before my evening meal lol. Just had prawns with mushrooms and onions. Strangely enough wasn't that fussed by it. Ate the prawns, but left loads of the onions and mushrooms.

Not feeling hungry today at all. Perhaps just needed SS+ yesterday because of the upset tummy. Nice to know I can have it though. Went and bought loads of fish after work.

Ear is killing me today, glands are down, but think it's an ear infection. Tried to make appointment with doctor today, but they said I'd have to go and sit in the waiting room until a doctor was free! Didn't fancy that, so will see how I get on with taking tablets and will get early night.

Have bags of energy since having my last shake at 4:30. Going to do some arm weights. Am so full from those prawns that I feel like I must have massively overeaten, but think it's the water that I've just gulped down.

WI Wednesday, hope the pain is all worth it!

 

[LellyCD]

Sounds like your doing fab! sorry to hear about the baddie ear! hope it gets better soon.

Good luck with wi Weds, i'm sure it'll be worth the effort you have put in
