Hi Minerva,

I am posting to subscribe :) a fellow WoW/GoT fan here so I thought it would be wrong to read and run!

Starting SnS on Monday, so excited. Sounds like you are eating so sensibly, good luck for WI day x

Hello! Welcome to the wonderful world of SnS :D we'll support you through the thick and thin, this forum's pretty grand for that!

Yay for WoW and GoT! :D What class/race are you? :)

Good luck for Monday! Have you ordered the starter pack?

x
 
Yes I got the starter pack :)

I play alliance, I have an addiction to levelling so I have every race and class! I don't have mists of pandaria.. My first lvl 85 was a gnome warlock. My husband plays daily though and raids twice a week. You have inspired me to level up somebody this weekend :) might even get MoP to go for 90.

Hahah you're an altoholic!! ;) Get MoP! It's pretty good. That way you'll be able to level a brand new little panda on the weekend! :D !

I'm like your OH, I'm a raider, we raid 3 times a week. I only have a few alts, as I prefer the challenge and structure of the raiding environment - used to raid hardcore back in BC, but it's a bit more casual now. :)

I just said to my OH I might get MoP this weekend, and he was all for it, so between the two of you, I've been convinced :) I'll get it tonight! What server(s) do you play on? I have some horde scattered around the servers :) Mainly I play on Alonsus though.

I play on Tarren Mill currently. Add me on Real ID! Dionycia#2379 :D
I'm not online much at the moment as I'm studying for end of year exams, but hopefully I'll see you there sometime ;)

Today is going well food wise, I'm trying to bring my calories down slowly again in preparation for going back on the packs on Monday.
I am feeling the emotional binge monster knocking at my door, partly because I'm frustrated, stressed and annoyed with all this revision - I just don't have the energy to keep going at it for more than 5 hours per day, but I really do need to do more than that. So I'm annoyed at myself etc - and I just want to eat and eat and eat... but realistically, it's not going to solve my problems and it's not going to make me feel better, so there's no point in doing that. Just GRRR!!
The other reason is that I'm neglecting my OH slightly because I can't do two things at once... He's skulking around the house, trying to be quiet and not disturb me and at the same time feeling lonely and I'm sat there feeling bad. He had a job interview today - which went well and I got upset that in his elation he went to his parents and now out with some friends over there - because he didn't want to come home and disturb me with his excitement. :( I can't even celebrate with him and make him feel good about his achievement... arghhh. Makes me feel like a really sh*tty girlfriend. :(

Blergh.

Menu for today:
B: (same breakfast as the rest of the week :))
L: Ham and chicken salad
D: Tuna & Prawn "fish" pie - with egg & cauliflower top.

Since (unofficially) I weighed 13st on the dot yesterday! I took the 13st picture to put together with my 14st one from a few weeks ago. I also dug up an old picture at around 15st10-16st (not sure) from September 2011. It's a comparable weight to where I started in January.

Can't wait for the 12st shot to put next to these! Hopefully... soon... :)

Thank you! :)

My WI is on Monday, but since I started eating, I saw 1lb drop per day. I only weighed for the first 3 days though and have not done so since.

I think I'll go on as I am, and fingers crossed for a surprise on Monday (hopefully a pleasant one!!).

:)

that's awesome, good luck for your weigh in
 
You're soooooooooo pretty! Hardly surprising mind - loads of models are Russian! Us Irish are only known for our gobs! I look forward to LOTS more photos!!!

I know it's hard but you shouldn't feel guilty about the bf - I bet he'd tell you not to be silly worrying! You're in the middle of study - allowances need to be made - I bet 99% of the time you're there for him, he's a big boy and he'll be fine! It sounds like he's grand anyway - he's trying his best to create a good study environment for ya and not distract ya. He clearly understands that right now you NEED to focus. It's a great reflection upon the maturity and strength of your relationship that he's so considerate at times like this :)

You are kicking ass this week weigh wise! So happy for you xxx
 
You're so pretty and you look fab in photos. Well done Minerva. You must be chuffed. I'm on another restart so here I go again. But not gonna keep on about anymore. You look so slim :)

Great to see the progress shots, makes you realise how far you have come, awesome my lovely and well done on keeping that adult head on your shoulders.... I'm trying to silence that rebellious child in me as I battle to get back into ketosis, why oh why do I do this to myself? Lol hope u are enjoying the weekend xxxxx
 
Thank you so much girls!! I think I ran away from the compliments again (blushing from ear to ear), but I think progress shots are very important. It's hard to see changes otherwise!! I encourage you all to do the same. :D

Lottie - PvP servers all the way!! I HATE pvp itself, BUT, I fall asleep on a pve server. Our guild recently moved from an 90% Ally dominated server - us Hordes weren't allowed to breathe in any of the daily questing hubs... Tarren Mill is the opposite of that, 85% Horde to Ally ratio, so it's actually lovely. No allies behind every tree hunting the rare and elusive red tag... :D

--
SO - it's my LAST day of the 'real-food-week' ... I don't know how I've done; but let me tell you, I'm rather tired of calorie/protein/carb counting now!!! I'm so tempted to just go back to packs today. I mean, of course I can, no one said I have to do 7 days on the dot. :rolleyes:

Meh, for the sake of my own experiment and curiosity I'll do 1 more day, even though I actually want to go back on the packs today. I still have loads of weight to lose, so I'm not really swayed by "real" food at all. Except for a massive craving for really unhealthy, greasy pizza yesterday. I don't know why, but it was a very pervasive and lingering desire. DAMNIT GO AWAY!

Will post later probably, if I have energy after studying!

Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday. :)

It's really encouraging that you can't wait to get back on the packs! I am really curious as to how I will get on...

I have never tried pvp server ever, I'm quite a noob overall, and die a lot so I would be a nervous wreck!

Good luck with the studies :)
 
Good luck with your last day of real food, hope the cravings go. At least you know you'll go back to meal packs tomorrow, not far away at all =)

Well done Minerva. You are such an inspiration you pretty girl. It's good you want to go onto meal packs again. At least you know now and a have a rough idea of what you can eat. Really good experiment there. I hate counting points or syns and I'm not a good cook so this diet suits me fine. Never tried Pro points only discover plan on WW as foe SW once I tried ate all allowed foods and binged on syns foods and put on weight. You're doing swell and you're diary and others is good to read. I'm taking all your advice you've given me over the last few weeks on board. Glad you and LottieBird have something in common too.

Batty x
 
Can't wait to hear this week's WI for you!!! I know what you mean about the handiness of the packs x but right to give it the full 7 days for the experiment ha!

Ps: you'll need to get used to compliments missus because I hate to tell ya - you're gonna be getting more and more and MORE :D
