Ramblings of a Bee on Exante

Hey everyone, I'm so mega tired at the moment, although at least got the worst of my totm over now. But craving food badly, have had a few low/no carb bits the last few days and I have felt better for it. I could just do with consistent summer and sunshine, I hate this on/off weather, it's messing with me.
I hope you're all doing alright and have a good day :) x
 
Well done bee shame I cant say the same for myself over the weekend lol.wi day tomorrow and although I started off well by giving away my bread and potatoes but the end wasnt so good when I polished 4 yes 4 slices of wedding fruit cake. Was yummy though lol!! Xx
 
My excuse my on the cake was I only usually get to have fruit cake at xmas so I was having it. But maybe 4 slices was bit much lol x
 
Hi Bee. You'll soon feel better. I long for hot summer weather too!
Nat - 4 slices of cake is OUTRAGEOUS, wish I could have some too!
 
When we had the two weeks of summer beginning of the month, I just came to life! More energy, less cravings, more exercise, altogether happier. Unbelievable what a difference it made to me. And those were the two weeks when I had good losses. Interesting huh.
Not entirely sure what to expect for WI tomorrow. Had my totm, over and done with now. Still feeling like a blob though. Have had gallons of water but still some low carb food at night coz I just needed it. Makes me feel less hungry during the following day, I reckon it's really helped with my ketosis. But due to bad sore throat I have had to have the odd lozenge and they are so full of glucose. Hope it hasn't affected me.
Anyways. Hope you're all having a good day, it's sunny here again and I'm in flipflops, willing the weather to adapt to my wardrobe rather than the other way around :D
xx

Ah bee is always hard to stay in track when poorly so well done u.
Yes lynne 4 slices and seeing as I still lost this week am glad I had it lol
I was good for the rest of the week though so guessing this helped.
Had proper belly ache last night so went bed early and slept it off. Is still niggling this morn am hoping it settles down xx
 
Hi Bee. I know exactly what you mean. I was on lravr from work when we had the hot weather and I took the dog for long walks, went running and generally felt much better motivated. Now that the weather has changed and I'm back at work I'm struggling. Had 4 bbq chicken drumsticks and an atkins bar on top of my 3 exante meals today. I think this was also because I was a bit peed off about putting that 2lb back on! Also I'm beginning to really worry about all those new clothes not fitting!!!!
 
Well I was planning on sticking to ts this week and feel ive failed already due to having a chicken ceasar salad with the girls this eve.
Am hoping wont be too much damage.
Just been feeling crappy these past 2 days and not my normal self but going to keep trying as I still have plenty to lose xx
 
Right I weighed in this morning at 14st2.5lb so I lost the half pound I gained with totm and another 1.5lb. I'm glad that at least it's gone down. Hoping for a better loss next week...I'm soooo hoping to break into the 13s!
What is driving me insane at the moment is the birds on the roof....I think they are magpies, and they jump about and scratch and scrape down the roof tiles, it's a hideous noise starting as early as 4am directly above me....argh!!!
On top of that, my broadband has completely slowed down in the last week, so weird! I can barely load up a page let along watch anything which is a real nuisance as I don't have a TV, I just watch stuff online as and when.
I hate having to deal with the internet providers, in my experience I just turn in circles until I give up and wait for it to improve...sucks!
Anyways. Hope you'll all have a good day :) xx
@ Lynne
Don't be disheartened, I'm sure you'll lose well again. Perhaps weighing twice weekly might help a bit?
 
Yippee well done bee another good loss. Im struggling these past few days and not sure why.
Went on day trip shopping with hubby and eldest and we had lunch at frankie and bennys.have to say am getting bored of chicken ceasar salad so pushed the boat out and had chicken ceasar wrap with salad! Crazy as disnt eat the wrap just what was inside so was really a ceasar salad after all.
Then felt sick all day as their chicken is coated and didnt agree with me.
Still is another day, mouth is still rank so hoping thats a good sign.
Off into town with 2 of the kids today and am hoping I survive with no food today xx
 
You can do it Bee smash into those 13s!!! Well done on your loss :D xx
 
I've had a bit of an off weekend, stayed strictly low carb but just simply needed food. It's given me a bit of a boost. Goodness, I noticed today how desperately I need a new tighter belt. My jeans were walking practically behind me. It hit me that before starting Exante I wore a pair of size 22 Jeans. Now the size 20 is hanging rather loosely off me. Such a kick.
And weirdly, my hands are slimmer. I really noticed it looking at them on the steering wheel when I was stuck in traffic. There are actual bones in my hands, believe it or not :D
 
I know what u mean bee it is a boost when u drop in dress size.
Funny cause part of the reason I wanted to lose the weight was because I havent been able to wear my wedding rings since I was ill 2yrs ago!
I tried them yesterday and they now go over knuckle but still not quite there. I reckon another 10lbs to a stone and they will be back on so this is my next goal. Xx
 
Hayfever's got to me badly the last few days, feeling rather rotten. Dosing up on antihistamines and not sleeping well, altogether a vicious cycle. Very sluggish today. My weigh in is on Wednesday, last one before I go away for a long weekend. I don't think I'll make it into the 13s but will hopefully be a bit closer to it. Hope everyone's having a good day :) x
 
Yes I've struggled wih hayfever and pre-totm bloatedness this weekend. In fact I would say it was my toughest weekend yet on this plan. Felt too rough to exercise too which hasn't helped.

Good luck for Wednesday Bee, not sure I'll bother with mine Wednesday :rolleyes: x
 
Goodness looks like we have all had a bad weekend with it. Mines just been uber stressful plus totm on its way. Banging headache all day today so about to get my head down for an hr!
Am dreading my wi tomorrow but will go ahead and update in morn xx
 
Ladies let us know how you get on
 
By the way, I'm a hay fever sufferer too!
 
Hi Bee. How are you? Hope you aren't still feeling under the weather.
