So I didn't last very long on TS. Had half a vanilla shake in two coffees, an Atkins bar (only 150ish cals, low carb, high protein - gorgeous by the way, lots of low fat choc) and a tesco ultra slim shake. Then we checked into our hotel at 7pm and it's like being a house guest - gorgeous house, almost a mansion really and there is a lovely bar in the conservatory. The owner only stocked artisan beers and spirits and English wines and was chatting to us and really helpful, she booked us into a local restaurant for dinner (I was planning on having a black coffee). Anyway then she offered us both a drink and Stef had a local beer and she offered me some English wine so I said yes. So I've had a glass of wine and then when we went for dinner I had a steak salad with no dressing. Didn't eat it all, look how large the portions are! <img src="http://www.minimins.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=137307"/> So I'm going to do the next 3 days as low calorie so I don't do a low calorie week next week so I'm still on plan (apart from the wine ?) We're the only guests here at the moment so she's cooking us breakfast specially, but I plan to say I don't eat breakfast and have a coffee instead. Night night all x

Steak salad looks lush :) x
 
Steak salad looks delicious and I'm sure one glass of wine won't do much harm. White wine is low in carbs. Enjoy the spa if you managed to get in.
 
Oh I can smell that steak all the way over here :).

Having this week as meal week is the best choice really. How was the spa, do you know I have never been in one!

Wouldn't it be nice if you could do a bit of both jobs xx
 
Oh that salad, I could happily just eat that now :) xx
 
Hi everyone Got rubbish signal so just checking in. Thanks for your comments Susie, Katie and Cate - I'm actually thinking about running my business part time and working part time in the nursery, so you may be onto something there Susie.

Well not a really bad day diet wise. Had half a vanilla shake split between coffee at breakfast (while hubby was munching on the yummy breakie at the hotel, I told the lady that owns the hotel it was protein shake), and one at lunch while hubby was eating a delicious courgette spaghetti salad with feta cheese (I had a taste it was divine so I got the recipe) and beetroot chocolate cake (which I had a forkful of, just to taste it).

We went for a run after breakfast and when we got back I had a banana shake using my new vortex blender cup. A few lumps but it was ok.

Then we went into bath, had lunch and then when to the spa. Managed to get myself booked in for a full body massage which was bliss! (You really must go to a spa one day Susie ) had a earl grey tea with milk and the tiniest piece of raisin walnut bread that came with the tea.


Then dinner... Well.. We went to an amazing Nepalese restaurant in bath called yak yeti yak. Oh my! We had popadoms (I maybe had half a one) and starters (I had one dumpling and a lamb skewer) and our mains were lamb with black eyed beans, beef with veg in spices and broad beans and cabbage. We also had black bean Dahl and fried rice. I didn't eat as much as I usually would, probably two small spoonfuls of rice and a spoon of each dish. I had half a bottle of beer and a sweet Nepalese chai tea called chiyaa.

Then we went back to the hotel and the owner let me try some English red wine this time and hubby tried some whiskey and had another beer. So I'm off plan, I've eaten some carbs but I've not gone stupid. I've tried to make healthy choices (barring the alcohol and sweet tea) and my stomach is definitely smaller so I ate much smaller portions than I used to. I resisted lots of things like the yummy choc cake Stef had at lunch and breakfast etc so I don't feel bad, it's not every day and I'm back on it tomorrow.

We're having a lovely time Night all xx
 
That food all sounds yummy! Sounds like you had a great time in Bath :) I used to live down there, (in Warminster, 20 mins away) beautiful part of the Country !

The spa sounds amazing, I'm so overdue a nice pampering session!! I'm definitely having some as soon as I get on my hols ;-) xx
 
And like you say it's not everyday you let your hair down so you should absolutely not feel guilty! We only live once and life is for living!! So long as you get back on it, you'll be fine :) xx
 
Thanks Becky - yes it's lovely around here - going to check out Bradford upon Avon on our way to london today. We were supposed to be getting up early to go to a conference in london today but naughty us wanted an extra days holiday so we aren't going. We're still in bed and going to go down for breakfast in a bit.
 
Sounds like you're having a lovely time - the Nepalese restaurant sounds divine! I've never been to bath but it certainly sounds worth visiting!
 
That's good control Yoyo cos you could have gone totally over board so well done. Bath is a lovely place isn't it xx
 
It is so worth vising Lynne. I lived in Chippenham for a few months in 1995 and got to know all that area. Bath is reasonably close to Cardiff too so I pop over there shopping from time to time just for a change of scene. Haven't been for a while though because Cardiff's shopping is so good since the St. David's Two development was finished. Looking forward to hitting the shops when I hit my target as at this weight I avoid them like the plague. I get most of my clothes in Sainsbury's.

Thanks Susie, yes I'm quite pleased withy self restraint although I am suffering today - I just want to eat!!
 
Here's what I learnt today. Eating any amount of 'normal' food makes it really hard to stay in the zone of this diet :(

I've found all my old food thoughts creeping back today. It's really frustrating because it's getting me down. I can't stop thinking about what I can eat and daydreaming about lovely food. Guessing I knocked myself out of ketosis with what I ate yesterday :(

Had a black coffee while Stef had his lunch and I was like, oh joy, black coffee :( whereas the other day when I'm in the exante zone black coffee feels like a treat.

So today I had a serving of no sugar alpen with milk and strawberries and blueberries and a coffee with milk (which didn't taste nearly as nice as I remembered). Then I had an Atkins bar at lunch and a black coffee.

Not sure what I'm doing for dinner. Either something healthy with Stef if we go out for dinner or I'll have a shake or a soup.

We're checked into our hotel in london and off to see some friends of ours in a bit. Hopefully that will cheer me up a bit and distract me from food - unless they offer me biscuits, not sure I have the willpower.

Can't wait to be in the zone again, finding today really tough. I'm not doing a low calorie week.
 
Sorry you're having a rough day. Enjoy London and time with your friends and then back in the zone tomorrow. :)
 
You did so well and were very restrained - it is usually the mental bit that is a lot harder to deal with than the physical hunger. Enjoy yourself this evening, you'll soon be back in TS land xx

Yeah I know Katie - most of mine is mental :)
 
So I had an Atkins shake and then when we were at our friends house I had some carrot sticks and a bit of hummus. We went back to our hotel and ordered room service and I've just had a steak and salad. No alcohol today.

So muesli and fruit for breakfast, an Atkins bar (150 cals) an Atkins shake (150 cals) and some carrot sticks and hummus and steak and salad. Not bad really for today.

Onwards to tomorrow..
 
Feeling crap now, I ate too much too late and its made me lose that nice empty light feeling and instead I can't look at myself in the mirror again and I feel fat. Amazing how quickly your mindset can change, and it changes everything, even though I know logically I can't have put weight on. Oh well, I'm in bed now, drinking water. Tomorrow is another day
