Surfhunny's Countdown to Florida

[*Shanny*]

The Ketofairy has been. I'm in the pink this morning, hooray! It's Dangerous Day 4 today though, if I can make it through today it'll be plain sailing from here.

Oh sal I wish I was in the pink... Maybe Saturday if I have 2 days 100% again..!!

Well done hunnie xx

Dangerous Day 4 passed without a hitch yesterday I'm on day 5 now and feeling the nice effects of ketosis. It's nice feeling a bit on the chilly side again.

I've started taking my 5-htp again after lots of episodes of crying recently. It'll help with cravings and hunger too

Today is going to be a major challenge, one of the boys is leaving and the buffet food has started streaming in to the staffroom already, it's all gorgeous, so I'm going to have to be very strong!! I have my chilli I'll be okay, so long as people don't start putting pressure on me to eat. One of the girls has already tried to give me a flake and a bag of crisps she didn't want. At first I got paranoid and started thinking that she must think I'm a human dustbin or something people know I'm back doing CD because I didn't want the pressure of people offering me things, and still it happens

 

[Surfhunny]

I'm so proud of myself, I've survived the buffet!!! I had a tiny taste of icing off my friends cake it was less than a scraping!! I had my chilli but feel hungry still, its psychological because I can see all the delicious food people have brought! I'm back to work now so I'll be okay.

 

[Surfhunny]

The buffet leftovers!!! I've stayed strong!!!

 

[trisha]

Well done for resisting the buffet

 

[Surfhunny]

Day 5 done and dusted, first challenge over with!! There's really nothing in the way for a while. Next big challenge will be my family parties at the beginning of July, the first will be fine because it's in a pub and I can drive and drink fizzy water, no-one will notice if I avoid the buffet. The second the week after is our annual BBQ which will be tricky, I'll probably have to prepare a chicken breast to take with me I think, granny will be there and she disapproves of this diet, and tries to force feed me bless her. Im not coming off plan even for one day to please other people though. Until then I can plod along quite happily!

Good times surf! I've been doing ok. Past few days i haven't been 100% but just ok. Had a bit of popcorn when I took the kids to see Rio but it hasn't affected K as I'm not hungry, just greedy! Have had a few picks at stuff but not bad bad bad stuff..... nuts and cheese basically. think I've dropped bout 4 to 5lb this week so far and still have 2 days left. Had some biccardi and coke zero tonight though!

Meant to say I didn't get myself a bag of popcorn which I would normally have done, just pinched a bit of dudes!

I'm getting really annoyed with trying to book this holiday. Every time we find somewhere there's a problem with it. Me, my bro and SIL are already having to pay more than everyone else cos there's 3 of us and for obvious reasons don't want to stay in the same room. So now we can't stay at the same hotel as everyone else, which offers free shuttle to all the parks, the hotel we decided on only has a shuttle to universal and seaworld not Disney, hiring a car is out of the question because the insurance is mega high. Aaaaargh all because I'm sodding single

I feel like I'm being a huge pain in the arse to everyone else, my friend got really snappy with me about it on Thursday, basically saying shut up about it something will turn up. But I really can't see what without the massive price jump for us 3 which isn't fair on C & K because it's my fault.

I just want to go on holiday with my friends and family and it's proving so hard to organise I'm on the verge of backing out altogether to make things easier and cheaper for C & K. They've already said they won't let me back out and will share a room but it's not great for them really. I feel so bad its really stressing me out. Im trying to please other people to get the fairest holiday for them. And basically if C&K don't go because it's become too expensive for them I can't go either, it's that simple. I can't take the risk of booking hotel and flights separately and losing the ATOL protection, not with the recent ash clouds and holiday companies going bankrupt etc.

I'm so stressed!! Everyone keeps telling me not to get worked up about it, but they're okay because they know there's is easier and cheaper to book!! I cry every time I think about it - how pathetic!!!!

 

[great things]

I've a very simple solution, I'll let you take Emily with you

 

[Surfhunny]

Ha ha nice try. My friend already tried that, she said Little E could stay in a room with me! I love my goddaughter to bits but that was a big fat NO too lol. After much discussion C&K insist on sharing with me so we'll all be at same hotel saving about £200. I'm not sure how I feel about it but it is the most sensible option, just hope it doesn't ruin their holiday too much.

you could always try asking when you get there if they have any more rooms and pay more then if you so choose.

ems is no bother for other people. very independent. gets up and gets herself dressed. the other day she helped herself to milk, spilt some on the floor though.

having a very strange food day. i'm more low carb than anything. egg for brekkie, salad and quorn ham for lunch and a few nuts as snacks. i'm not hungry, far from it! just keep eyeing up the dam nuts

 

[Surfhunny]

Yeah that's an idea!! That way we'd still have the atol protection.

Im definitely feeling the effects if ketosis today, I'm freezing cold, but weirdly my face is burning! Very strange.

I've only got one pack left to go but I'm feeling very twitchy, I want to have it but wonder if it's too early yet, might have to have it soon though I'm feeling hungry. There's nothing to pick at luckily cos I'm in one of those moods!

 

[great things]

half it, have some veg flavouring if you have it etc etc

 

[Surfhunny]

I had it, I'm okay really just in the mood for picking! It's because in bored and watching telly. I'm going in the bath shortly so that'll take my mind off food!

 

[Surfhunny]

Day 7 now one week of CD in the bag today!! I've found it okay once I got through the first few days and into ketosis. Now I'm fine! I'm sticking with 30 Day Shred and today is day 6 of that too I'm starting to feel a bit more like more normal self than the lethargic blob that I've become recently.
