My slim dream, 7stone in and 3 to go in time for christmas????

No big plans. Today I just want to relax and workout - which is good because the weather is truly crappy! Tomorrow my dog walker is holding a bbq (hopefully it won't still be raining) to celebrate 1 year of being in busiess.

What about you?
 
Arghhhhhhhh well we went to our friends birthday party yesterday and i was brilliantly good, just drank my water and wasnt tempted by all the food then we came home about half 8 and by half 9 i'd ordered a chinese grrrr stupid woman, thats the first time in AGES ive had something not on fat night grrr was so annoyed with myself this morning especially as ive felt ughh and hungry all day stupid stupid woman
 
Whoops! Not surprised as you were so good at the birthday party and our bodies are programmed to eat what's in front of us - some part of you must have felt deprived and took over your brain when you got home. If that ever happens again, you know to stick to veg and protein and avoid the rice/noodles at all cost - then hopefully you won't feel crap and hungry the next day.

Hope you get back into ketosis very quickly - you should once the chinese flushes out of your system. You're human not robot, so the odd slip is understandable. Pick yourself up, drink loads of water and get back on CD asap. You're doing brilliantly remember - 5stone down!!! :)
 
oh my goodness talk about scuppered plans. We went up to inlaws yesterday and they took us out for dinner which is never usually an issue, all eateries have low carb options right? Oh my goodness how wrong could i be, i think they picked the ONLY place that either didnt have low carb or it was sold out, and how stupid is this all salads were only served until 12.30noon grrrrrrrrrrrr still i enjoyed my dinner albeit not low carb option grrrr and ive been super good today, yes incredibly hungry but i did start TOTM today too which may explain why ive been so tired recently.

Refuse to let it hinder my week, WI is on friday and i will have to hope and pray now for damage limitation
 
Ah, the best laid plans do sometimes go awry! Hang in there!
 
Well i'm almost through another day, tummy's still grumbling but i think its coz im cold and getting a cold but im determined to stick with it :)
How are you getting on Tizzy? xx
 
I'm doing well, thanks! I'm having one of those rare periods where I'm sticking to CD, feeling good and managing the sensation of being hungry (which isn't overwhelming, but by evening I can definitely feel a certain sense of hollowness....). Have hopped on the scales and am pleased with the progress so far this week, but don't want to jinx anything. I find when I have a decent loss, I give myself "permission' to go off diet and nibble on things - not things necessarily bad for you, but not CD either. My fav at the moment are dry roasted almonds - yummy and crunchy and healthy...but I really need to control portion size or I can eat a CD day's worth of calories in 10 min!

So - taking it one day at a time. If I could, I'd go home, put myself to bed and wake up Monday in time for my weigh-in. :)

Hope you start to feel better soon and your tummy stops growling at you! I have been super lucky and haven't been sick once this year - not sure if it's because of CD or what, but I'll take it!!!
 
Thanks again Tizzy, so glad you're doing well and managing to stick with it, i think the cold weather makes you hungrier too although saying that it was 11am before i had my first shake and almost 6pm before i had my second but im hungry again this evening.

Had a nice day today and had some good news, Ella DLA has been reviewed and they've re-awarded her at high rate :) Oh and tomorrow looks like hubby and I will have a rare night on our own woohoo
 
Wonderful news! And you have a "date" night with the hubby - sounds like fun! Enjoy!
 
Afternoon and what a glorious day it is, lost 3lbs today wooohooo :D so looks like the few bad days didnt affect me afterall, weight loss next week will be interesting as we're not having a treat night this week because we're away the weekend after and i know that'll be a bad few days diet wise so would like to have a 4lb loss next week.

Hubby and I are going to cinema tonight, we're not really good at thinking of other things to do and we both love films and neither of us are big on drinking so a night out in that sense doesnt appeal plus im in work 13hrs on Sat so cant be up too late.

Oooo oooo i'm only 7lbs off being in the 16s arghhhhhh how amazing does that sound!!!!!!!!

That's fab gun! U sound in such a great positive place and that can only help! Like u I can not WAIT to see a 16 on those scales!!!! It's been so long since I saw a 16!!!!!!! :)
 
Thanks :) Yes i'm feeling it at the min, this is certainly the longest ive ever stayed with it and ive not really felt the need to give in which is unusual but im not complaining. It's weird coz i cant even imagine what i'll look like at christmas nevermind my birthday in March

You'll look Fabulous! :)
 
Well its been an uneventful day so far at work apart from the fact that everyone who's spoken to me on the phone has shouted at me, doesnt make you feel good when you're tired and hungry. Didn't sleep too well last night, woke up about 6 times for some reason, not sure if my hip's causing me to wake as its still unbelievably sore from about 2 months ago when i injured it playing a game on x box kinect but im at physio on Tues so i'll mention it to them. Sod's law i lose weight and im walking round like an old woman haha.

Not a lot to report diet front, we didnt go to pics yesterday coz I was too tired and apparently Ella didnt sleep too well at Grandmas either but she;s been with grandma all day and apparently she wants her to stay over tomorrow night too :) oh and as from 8pm tonight im officially on 2wks hols but im doing overtime or rather bank shifts next wed and thurs, extra pennies for christmas wont hurt.

Is anyone doing anything nice this weekend? If its not raining tomorrow i think we might take Ella for a walk to local forest thing and let her walk through the leaves in her wellies :)
 
Just had a looong read through your diary there... WOW, you've done amazing so far!

Well done :)

Xx
 
Walk through the local forest sounds great - I think I'll take my dog to the local city forest if it's nice tomorrow. Enjoy the weather, get some fresh air and some exercise! Get some rest! Can't have you being tired all the time - you've got a family and life to live! Funny about the losing weight but walking like an old woman - I've been wondering if I'm losing some of my strength/stamina. But maybe it was just a sense of solidness/heaviness vs real strength. At any rate, I work out about as much as I did before, lift the same weights and have added pilates, so can't be completely turning into a weak dumpling.... :)

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
 
You have been quiet? Hows tricks? :) x
