Surfhunny's Countdown to Florida

Panic not, I am here!!! I've been out watching cars racing all day with my brother and dad. Had a fab fab day out, sun and wind burnt face, and too many bad things but I'm not feeling too guilty at all, not sure that's a good thing though, I'm trying to damage limit things at the moment until I can get my mojo back.

But hell, Teesside Autodrome was full of hot hot men!!!

I've just watched William and Kate the movie, so very cheesy!!! I'm not a royalist but I'm quite looking forward to the wedding on Friday, I'm a saddo! If I can't have my own fairytale romance I'll live off theirs!

Hey Hun!!

I'm afraid I was tempted in the same way as you today, motorbike racing as well as food wise. Wicked day, but pooped now!!

Am a bit lost, having even looked at a cambridge product for days. Eaten a lot of meat (good-ish) but quite a bit of bread and sugar and alcohol with it (very bad!).

Am worried how I will ever get back on track. The easy way would be to wait until next Tuesday when I go back to work, but could be a stone heavier by then.

Plan B could be to be careful (having as many Cambridge products as poss for a few days with the odd meal here an there) but get back to it ASAP. although have been doing this for weeks now and it's not worked so far, plus I'd be miserable as wouldn't be in ketosis and would be hungry.

Plan C - back to SS 100% tomorrow. This is the least likely (if I'm honest!!) as am at Alton towers tomorrow, would be hell to try to day 1 SS and need to be energetic and fun!! Have then got my bosses leaving do on Thursday (meal at an Indian, although have ordered a non-creamy chicken curry with just a small chapati so not the worst choice), a BBQ at our house Friday (weather permitting!) and then a close friends engagement party (where I really would love to be drinking!) in southport on Saturday, and were staying with OH's family who don't know I'm dieting, and wouldn't understand.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!

So sorry to hijack your diary Hun, tell me to bugger off if you like!! You're all haut so blooming helpful!

:)
 
Hi Rhibro --
doubt Sal would mind much, as she is well informed and helpful.

I think that you should probably try to follow a low gi/low carb, portion control, calorie counting type thing this week -- then, perhaps, go back to CD ssing to detox, get into ketosis, and have a big motivational boost.

In other words -- bring a couple of Meal bars, nuts, etc, for Alton Towers; have a low carb Indian with very little or no rice nor naan; BBQ: pull the skin off the chicken and load up on green salad -- no carbs; engagement party -- have a shake first, only a few low carb/low cal nibbles and one or two white wines or G & Ts or vodka/tonics if you must drink.

You can do this -- and have a sts or possibly even a loss this week.
 
It's so bloody difficult isn't it? I'm feeling exactly the same totally lost!! I feel like I start everyday with brilliant intentions then it all goes to pot at some point during the day :(

I feel like the slightest thing and I'm making excuses to eat this or that! I was great while I had the focus to get into that dress and now I have no real focus anymore.

Mind that's not strictly true.... I've got 2 months supply of my pill left before I have to go back and see Nurse Kratchett for a repeat prescription. She won't be happy with me if my BMI is over 30. I'll need to lose at least a stone, if not more now to get there!! I should really pull my finger out and crack on with that but I just can't seem to get motivated :(

We're as bad as eachother aren't we? I'm just hoping that once these long long weekends are over I'll be able to get back on track, but like you say I could end up with an extra stone to shift if I dont do something in the meantime!!!

Ha Mel I just wish I could listen to my own helpful advice. I'm in a bit of a negative spiral myself at the minute!

I need to get back into ketosis because my body temp being back to normal is making me itch, especially with this nice weather, even telling myself that my itching will be much better if I can get back on track isn't helping.... Mind you one more restless night because of it might be enough to send me running for the CD shakes!!
 
Thanks for the speedy reply Hun!!

So you reckon plan B then?! I'm just so worried about being hungry, which I know is ridiculous, as when I start SS'ing again I'll have a nasty few days!! Although I'd be at work and find it so much easier there!!

But you're right, I can't let this binge-fest carry on!! I'll be back at almost 18 stone before I know it!! Just WI, and am 3 lbs up from last week (4lbs up from lightest weight). It stops here!! Was gonna cancel official WI on weds, but gonna face the music!!

OK, so, I'm gonna knock the booze on the head now. In fairness, I don't miss it usually, and OH doesn't know that group of friends so well, so will probably need a drink himself to relax, and one of us has to drive, so will be Des!!

Am back to zumba tomorrow night, and will get 3 classes in before next WI hopefully, to burn off some of this lard!!

Tomorrows plan:

Breakfast - Cambridge porridge
Lunch - something chicken based at AT (salad perhaps?!)
Snacks - chicken/ham bits/celery sticks/nuts/CD bar
Dinner: CD shake/soup
Snack post-zumba: CD Bar
Drinks: as much water/coke zero as I can without needing to pee in every ride queue!
Exercise: loooooads of walking, 1hr zumba

Here goes, wish me luck!! You can have your diary back now sweets!!

:)

We are naughty...but also human. All we can do is try to get back on the 100% wagon, which in fairness is unlikely to happen for a few days in my case. And in the meantime have as many CD perfect 'hours' as possible in a day. Long as the naughty hours don't outweigh the good ones, we should be OK.

:)
 
No worries chicken, your plan looks good to me and being Des will stop the temptation to drink. I just got halfway down a bottle of Koppaberg and then realized I'm on call oopsy, just goes to prove I def shouldn't be drinking :( but that was an hour ago and I poured the other half out, so lucky I realized before I ended up over the limit :eek: It just seemed like a good end to a good (bad CD) day!!

I think I'll be okay the next couple of days cos I'm back at work, if I can make it 3 CD days I can be back in ketosis and then I'll be okay!!

Did you ever buy some 5-htp? I'm still taking mine and I'm sure that's why I've not been hungry, even yhough I'm not in ketosis. It might be worth a try to make plan B more bearable???

We can do it Hun, so long as we keep posting on here and have more good hours than bad like you say! Damage limitation!!! X
 
Exactly!! Nope didn't 'get round to it'!! Story of my life! Will defo get some soon as I get to town. Alton towers plans may have been scuppered for tomorrow. Puppy number 1 has come back from OH's parents with a serious limp :( so gonna be a vets trips before we do anything else I'm afraid!

:)
 
Oh no, hope the pupster is okay!!! Back to work for me today, so hopefully I'll be able to get back into the swing of things dietwise!

Yet another disturbed nights sleep caused by my stupid urticaria, I'm finding myself hoping the weather will cool down a bit. Instead I should be focussing on getting back into ketosis because that helps so much, sod losing weight need to do this to stop itching like I've got fleas!!
 
Hey chick, been almost on the plan you guys helped me formulate last night, will post on my own diary though!!
Hope you're feeling a bit better now. It's been a much cooler day, and hopefully more comfy for you!

:)
 
Hi surf. Hope works treating you well :)

Back to it tomorrow. Did ok today til this pm when I decided I wanted some of little dudes cake. Knocked me sick. Ha ha ha. Shouldn't have had it!
 
p.s forgot i had a BL from last week! tonights is on in an hour! Om gosh!
 
Hello, been really busy at work didn't get finished until 7, same again tomorrow, if not later but then I'm off for 5 days yay!!

I'm going to be a bit behind on tonight's BL because I'm watching Supersize, then going in the bath and I'll watch BL after that.

Supersize has made me think, not for the first time I'm convinced I have an eating disorder!! If I bothered myself to purge I'd be called bulimic but I'm not purging, I'm just bingeing. But really I guess i just use CD to purge, to cancel out the bingeing. A lot of the eating disorder things apply to me! It scares me a bit to be honest!!

I'm scared that I'm really not managing to change, I've read Beck and every other diet type book going and it seems to work and sink in for a couple of weeks then it's like I've never read them at all.

CD is the answer to get the weight off, no two ways about it, it's the fastest way! I'm just scared of gaining weight again, because everytime I come off the diet I gain massive amounts, and it sets me back into my old mindset immediately. The 8lb gain from the wedding weekend has sent me out of control again :(

I'm sick of feeling guilty and hearing myself moan about being overweight and yet I can't seem to manage a single day back on plan, what the fcuk is wrong with me??
 
hey surf i'm starting again tomorrow. i think that it's so easy to have an eating disorder if you're addicted to food. i've had a right eat tonight. consisting of wine, cake, lindt bunny and loads of crisps. blerugh. i'm on 810 as of tomorrow hungry or not i've got to do it. seeing cdc in 2 weeks time and i'm wanting another 5lbs off by then so with my gain of tonight and then 8lbs off total i need 1 1/2 good/very good weeks. keep track with me and i'll keep track of you :D deal? it can be done. i have my focus infact i have thoughts of not really wanting to eat then i go and eat more than i need and i'm not even hungry..... def dodgy!

Well, whatever's wrong with you is also wrong with me - and quite a few other people. :) Okay, so the fact that we've all got 'it' - whatever 'it' is - doesn't make it any better, but it does at least mean that we're all nuts together, LOL.

I get scared about what all the diet-eat-diet stuff is doing to my body too - and to my head. But what I do know is that it ain't over until the fat lady gets slim (well, either that, or she drops dead from an obesity-related condition :D :D).

We've just got to hang on in here until something clicks - because it will. I know I've just got to keep taking it one day at a time - I just posted on Rashiy's diary that the moment I start trying to work out what I might weigh by, say, the end of July (if I stick to the diet 100%), I immediately lose the plot. So obviously that's something I need to stop doing. :) I'm going to try (and this is gonna be a tough one for me) to take it one day at a time - and worry about the next day when it comes along.

great things said:

I've done the same thing today - eating when I'm not even hungry. It's like I've just got to put something in my mouth and swallow it, LOL. Funny how I never get the urge to eat celery when I feel like that, though...

I've made a deal with Rashiy to just try to get through tomorrow for now. I seem to have a tendency to want to turn this weight loss thing into a race - but all that happens is that I fall off the wagon and I end up running backwards. :)

So maybe one day at a time is the way to go?

Hugs to you both :grouphugg:
