I'm watching charleys cake angels about a Capetown cake shop. Oddly cakes dont make me crave or even feel hungry when cooked on tv usually - but a nice rare steak will.
I have no artistic talent but I'd love to run a crazy cake shop or somewhere like choccywoccydoodah and have a team making such fun, pretty things.

Friday weigh in..... 3lbs lost!!!
That takes me to 12.7stone and means I've lost just over 2 stone so far. So pleased!
Also my past 4 weeks losses have been
3lbs
1lb
1lb
3lbs
I had started to think I'd lose 1lb a week from now on but no - it averages out to a lovely 2lb per week! Woop!
Of course tomorrow afternoon I am off plan, then back on plan until Friday so I'm really only hoping for a sts next week.
Then the week after I am off plan for 15 days... Fri 20th to August 5th - for my mini holiday, my birthday, three family events, going for an afternoon tea etc. That's actually why I booked my time away in the middle of it - I didn't want to be off plan 3 days, on plan 3 days etc but not giving myself enough time to lose. I don't want to mess around bouncing in and out of ketosis.
At the same time I wish everything had been a little closer together - scared of the damage I can do in 2 weeks. Ah well. TBH I do need a wee break from it - just please let me get back on plan and keep loosing well after. Please?
Right. Off to make almond flour fairy cakes!

Another 3lbs!...that's brilliant, moonlights! 
And well done on the two stone lost (would ya mind sending the whooshie fairy my way, please?)
You already know I'm a fan of planned diet breaks, so I won't post that link yet again (!), but I really don't think you have anything to fear. You went straight back on low-carb after your Jubilee break (I think it was the Jubilee, wasn't it?), so why not this time? You absolutely know for a fact that you can repair any damage you do, so just kick back and enjoy yourself for a bit. We'll all still be here to cheer you on when you get back on plan, don't you worry!

Kind of don't want to go to Cornwall now... Had to cancel the B&B I booked as despite their website saying all rooms were ensuite a new review on a booking site said single rooms weren't - emailed to check this and it's true. I get panicky in any sort of dealing-with-strangers situation I simply can't share one bath/shower room with several other people in a B&B. The idea itself is close to triggering a panic attack for me. I wouldn't be able to shower for fear of someone knocking on the door.
(I sound crazy I know: I am. I have anxiety and panic disorder fed into by not being able to leave the house for long periods when I was ill and by the treatment and looks I got when I did. I am gradually getting better - I can take trains alone now and can handle crowds most of the time but this would be a step too far).
But of course because I booked through this site they already charged me for the first night and in the small print they are allowed to keep this in the event of cancellation - the actual booking site does say shared bathroom but if I'd seen that I wouldn't have booked.
So, £30 poured into the drain.
Managed to find one other place locally not charging £100 more - but not as nice a place and a longer walk uphill from the station so not really ideal for me. Still I made sure it has free cancellation and booked it.
If I could cancel my train tickets I would be delighted not to go. I have been fighting my nerves over it (and struggling with the cost) and after this I am just a ball of anxiety.
But train tickets are unrefundable and nearly £60. If I cancelled that plus the £30 would be money into the void.
Just want to curl up in a hole really.

That awful ML. How can they say all rooms are ensuite and then not be. Is there any recourse there? Don't blame you I would not share one either on holiday.
I'm sure everything will be fine when you get there. Hugs x

Have you looked into get a doc's note to get refund on the train? Did you pay by credit card as you could get refund via them if you could cite medical reason! I'm so sorry ML .. What a horrible situation ... I hate sharing toilet ... I find that quite stressful so I understand! Xxx

I did buy on a website, not sure which but I think I might look into that medical reasons thing. Thanks for the tip! Even doctors notes are 25 quid lately but it would be a saving and my gp would definitely write me one. Am in two minds really, mum thinks I should go as I've been so desperate to just do something. It's true but with anxiety and tiredness and the weather and the cost... I just don't know. Will think on't.

Good luck with your holiday plans ML. I hope you get everything you need. May I suggest www.Booking.com its a website where you can book hotels for free and don't pay any cancellation charges up to until 24hrs before your planned stay. You only pay any fees when you leave the hotel on your check out. We've used them hundreds of times.

I booked through booking.com but not all cancellations are free - this one had special conditions.
I really do think I might just not go. Why spend money being unhappy and alone in Cornwall when I can do it at home where at least there are a few people around. Eh well, will try and decide tomorrow.
Well - day off plan and my stomach is killing me. Didn't eat wildly badly - cheese toast, beans on toast, tempura veg, choccie bar - but the combo of the bread and especially the sugar equals epic bloat. If I don't go to Cornwall I'll just have next fri-sun off and then a few days the week of my birthday off (hard to eat low carb at an afternoon tea) and stay medium (maybe 50-60g) carb between. Tbh I think I'll stay sugar free most days. Except for the rare dessert. I just don't enjoy it any more, taste or aftermath.

How to tell I just had my B12 jab: I'm utterly incapable of sleeping. Body is achy and clapped out after afternoon at the festival. Brain busily racing a mile a minute. Always happens. Am very grateful for the mental clarity!! Just need a little rest so I can use it.
