One day at a time!!

hi linzi. well it's going ok. i feel really light headed and dizzy and a bit sick today. but then it's the magic day four. the day i start to feel crappy. by day 8 or 9 i'm flying so i just need to stick it until then. unfortunately i'm working 10 hour days for the next four days... ah well. at least by the time it passes i'll have a day off in york to look forward to, looking around hotels trying to find one that's nice for my wedding night :)

Hey Abz
What fun searching for somewhere to stay on your wedding night!!

Hope your feeling better today... I'm finally back in ketosis after my lapse on monday! The fact its taken me all week to get back is a good enough reason not to go off course again!

Hope works being kind on you! x
 
i am feeling a bit better today and it isn't quite as manic. am just sitting down with my soup...

only two more ten-hour days to go after this one, then a day off... although it looks like i'm going to york on my own now, probably in the rain!! hmph. ha.

Its been one week since I stopped stepping onto the scales everyday & its been fantastic! Doing Atkins means I feel like I'm not on a diet & not scale hopping too... well its the first time I feel really liberated about my food, my weight & being in control!!

Flaxseed muffins for breakfast with cream cheese are just fantastic (thanks buffydog for the recipe)!

Measured myself again & over all I have lost a whopping 6 inches from my arms, hips, waist & thighs since last week! One very very happy girl!! :party0011:

wow. linzi that's amazing!! am soooo chuffed for you!!

can't wait to hear how much weight you've lost over the course of a week :D what day have you chosen as your weigh in day?

it's starting to, yeah. i reaaaaaaaaally wanted chinese last night and felt all faint and funny, but i just had an extra bar for the day and left it at that. feel a little bit bad that i had the bar, but at the end of the day it was an extra cambridge product, not a takeaway, ha. so it's all good :)

Hi Linzi

just wanted to pop in and say 'WELL DONE'! You sound really focused, sensible and in control. I am sure this is the plan thats really going to do it for you. Fab!

Love
 
ha. i felt a bit bad that i had succumbed at all but i'm sure i would have felt worse if i'd given in to chinese :) hee. plus. there are only nine weeks until i go to denmark. i may be coming off plan half way through the ninth week though as two days before we go is a great family friend's 50th and it doesn't really interrupt my two month stint but i'll see when i get there. i'm hoping to lose two stones in that time and when i go to denmark hopefully people will be able to see a massive difference as they won't have seen me since i was at my biggest. i did lose about a stone once before visiting about a year ago and they noticed but then i'd put it all back on the next time and although nobody said anything i felt a bit silly. plus, they just don't seem to have overweight people in scandinavia. i think i have seen one truly heavy person in the whole time i've been there, and we got on amazingly well, ha. she's fab. but she was losing shedloads of weight and i just thought, great. i'll be the only fat person in the whole of denmark by the time i come back!! so i'm looking forward to shocking everyone. it's my massive motivator at the moment!!

well i felt bad for doing it. and things would have been much easier if i hadn't, but i still lost a lb after all that, and my cdc pointed out that that is what real life is like. sometimes you have to have days where you aren't watching what you eat. and she said that i can't have gone mental or i wouldn't have lost any weight or a total of nearly four inches off my body in a fortnight... so that made me feel a bit better about it. although getting back on this time was an absolute nightmare!! ha. felt like i had to drag myself kicking and screaming onto it. but now i'm here and am getting more resigned to the fact that life can be this way and that isn't a problem.

thinking of going to the cinema tonight. might ring OH and get him to put a choccy tetra in the freezer so i can have ice cream while we are in there :D

you will be shedding the lbs honey. many by many they will fall off. no one by one-ing with atkins :)

Really bad headaches again the past few days... maybe b'coz the weathers been so close! Its really getting to me... not in a way that I want to cheat just in that I'm fed up with not feeling 100%

Really want to weigh myself but Hubby's not letting me have the scales til the 31st which is when I said I'd weigh in!

Have a boozy girls night out planned on friday, am gonna drink vodka & slimline tonics, stick to the acceptable Atkins foods for dining out & accept the fact that I'll stall my weight loss while I burn off the alcohol instead of fat BUT at least I'll know why I'll have a headache on saturday!!

ToTM is still hanging around which isn't really helping... don't need a 3 week stint of it... 1 week is bad enough!

Hope I do get to see a good weight loss at the end of the month otherwise I'm gonna be one unhappy bunny!!
 
aw honey. i'm sure you will!! i'm feeling munchy today. want to eat everything in sight and i've let the OH eat his toasted sarnies while sitting next to me. i mean, i have to be able to resist right? i did forbid him from getting that pizza though :D

abz xx
 
ha. it's hard enough with his toasties, never mind pizza!! ha. i can't wait to hear your weigh in results honey. you've been doing so so well :D
