Ten stone Challenge

Thanks Darcy. I stuck to packs yesterday. I’m 20s8 today and feel a bit better. I was running a temp hence the shivering. Better today. We went out to a designer outlet. I mooched to look for lovely things to wear when slim and didn’t see a flipping thing I liked. I might have to start a mood board for fashion. Hubby and I are having a protein meal at home tonight with our son. We had bars and coffee at lunch. Thanks for the links. I. Ontacted tgem about the free ebook but still haven’t received it even after three orders! Hope you’re having a good day x
 
Uh oh, a litre of sparkling water and uninterrupted time on the internet and i've gone and bought a dress. I must be nuts. It's an 18 from Coast and I KNOW they come up small. I panicked I don't have anything to wear at the races at the end of June and on the ship in August. Can I fit it by then? Eeeeek. I guess I can send it back... its the Coast pink "Brooke" dress from Debenhams. The only thing I could see me wearing (shape wise). It's the right length and covers my arms. They only had it in bright pink though. I guess i'd better get that hand cycle out and start peddlin!
According to the measurements I have to be a 42, 36, 46 figure to fit it. That is a looooooooong way from where I am now. Onwards and Downwards !!!
 
So I’m 20s9 today. I guess the steak is sitting heavy! Just me and my boy today but I’ve just taken him around to elderly neighbours to deliver a birthday present. He’s opted to stay for a brew! My friends daughter will pop him back when he’s worn them out. I can’t get in the house. Sooooo I did some calculations last night and first measurements since starting. I’m losing average of 2 inches per stone. (30 inches total lost over my body since starting 😊). I will need to be 13s7 to fit that dress according to previous measurements. That’s the lowest I’ve been briefly in 2009 then I regained to 23s7. I know I can get there and this time stay there!
Have a great day.
 
Hiya, hows it going? Hope all is well
 
Hi. Tough day. My neighbour brought homemade birthday cake round and I ended up having some. Just a couple of bites so not to be rude. I tried the “save for later” but it didn’t work. I really hope it’s not knocked me too far out. Bad headache but entertaining my 4 year old inside all day will do that.
 
Haha I head you on the child headache!!! I’ve got a 3 yr old who has decided to tantrum in public, throw a baby into the mix, it makes a fun weekend.

Did you enjoy the cake? I think I’ve been in ketosis for so long now that I’m just not craving sweet food, I think I’m actually scared to eat a higher carb food incase all my cravings come back.
 
Morning! 20s8 so the cake didn’t seem to put me out. It was nice enough but I didn’t eat it all and had no desire to eat it except to make my friend feel good. I should have been more assertive. WI tomorrow and I’m 2lbs down. I’m hoping for 3 each week but I’ll take what I get. Not being able to get out because of snow is annoying. Work tomorrow. Then I’ve business breakfasts 3 days this week to contend with. Happy Sunday all!
 
Thanks! Shopping and housework done but I’ve a mountain of ironing and a four year old in hyper drive wanting to play all the time which is nice but time is getting on. He’s sat having lunch. Time to breathe. It’s a balancing act! I don’t know how you do it all with a baby too SPE! Two shakes today so far. Too much black coffee. I’ve a pair of M&S black smart trousers size 24 I got from the outlet. They go on but not comfortably. That’s my first clothing goal. There’s a maroon blouse I’ve had forever that would work with it. I’d just like to wear something other than leggings for work. I reckon another stone and I’ll be able to wear them. I’m a quarter way to my first 100lbs!

Choc mousse for my last pack and a couple of glasses of water and a pint of peppermint tea. Jobs done. Boy in bed. Feeling a bit frustrated or “out of sorts”. I’ve started trying to find the source instead of always burying in food. I’m frustrated I’m not getting time to do my hobbey. The cold is getting to me. I’m dreading work this week and having to deal with egomaniacs and having to travel and be away for 3 nights. Oh for a lottery win. On Tuesday I start night class foundation in counselling for Ten weeks. Maybe I can counsel myself!!! Very thirsty despite drinking more than usual. Early night with a book. WI tomorrow. Good luck Monday weighers.
 
Well done. Bit warmer this week, might make it easier for you. You'll get 4lbs next week, which will be the same as two 3lb weeks :)

Background? Edited to take out the waffle. :)

Long day at work. Two letters with bad news greeted me when I got home and a son who didn't want to go to bed because he wanted to cuddle (Awe). Lots of emails later I'm now able to catch up on everyone's progress.

Still 100% with One pack to go. Business dinners Thursday and Friday are tricky.

Ahh by background I meant career wise as you mentioned counselling courses. Sorry I should have elaborated. My degrees are in psychology (and health psychologist stage one! so im always draw to anything clinical/mental health related :) You sound like you were dealt a tough hand but you certainly keep your life interesting! Lots to strive for, just keep plodding on x
