So tired today!
I was asleep last night for 8:20pm (I know because my son woke me up then) and slept until 6.30am when I woke up desparately needing the toilet!
I have a bad headache today and feel really grim, I must have knocked myself out of ketosis with the extra bar and probably ate too much Turkey on Saturday night. Yesterday I picked a tiny bit of mashed potato (literally dipped my finger in) but the added carbs probably prevented me going back into ketosis.
I am doing some very boring answering emails and returning phone calls today so at least it isn't anything too taxing but I'm not feeling particularly motivated at all.
Today though no picking, no grumbling and only shakes and soups. I fully intend to do another early night as well as night times are the hardest for me.
Oh and I am going to look at joining the gym as well.

ooo - sounds like you might be in for a rough couple of days but hang in there and remember i'm right there with ya. We can do it.
Also have a headache today but am not surprised considering the fact i ate biscuits yesterday - ooops.
Anyway am back on ss and am going fine. Feeling a lot happier and determined - especially when i got on the scales and had lost 2lbs this morning!! Have to be good or else those biccies will catch up with me!!
We have a gym near my house that i go to - ok well kind of.
My aim is to go 3 times a week doing swimming and toning exercises - problem for me is the kids. Having one at home means i dont get much opportunity.
Go for it though - it'll be a great stress reliever and if you joina mixed gym there might be some nice fit men to keep you interested too. (well - no harm looking is there )

Struggling
Bah, I am really struggling here, I need to get back in ketosis but the hunger is making me nibble which is keeping me out of ketosis and so it is going on.
I haven't nibbled a lot but obviously enough to keep me on the wrong side of ketosis and it is such a struggle.
Damn and blast.

Oh dear. Have you tried drinking when you feel hungry? I know it's not much use but it's the only thing i can think of! Soz hun.
Hope tomorrow is better for you. Just keep thinking of the 11s. We need to get there and fast SO STOP NIBBLING!!!
Thanks Helen, I have only nibbled a little bit today and have drunk about 6 litres of water so not horrendous but still...
I think I need to go to bed and put another day behind me.

A good day (so far)
A good day today, I am well and truly back in ketosis which makes this quirky diet quiet easy really - how stupid am I for keep knocking myself out - god I wish I let myself do things the easy way.
Not drunk too much water today as I have been in a big meeting most of the day but am trying to make up tonight.
God I am tired tonight, the house looks like a bomb has hit it so I had best go tidy up.
I am feeling much happier today.

LOL was just updating, yes I am back in the pink and feeling much much better. See you have had a good day today as well. Strange how our good and bad days seem to mirror each other isn't it?

Think we must be living parralell (sp?) lives. Especially as i've just realised my middle name is your first name and it's not that common!!! SPOOKY!!!! (oh an it's not flopster either
OMG that is really bizarre!
It is bizarre but kind of nice too.
I have felt for a long time that our journeys were very similar - we seem to struggle at the same things and same time. I know it helps me to know there is someone out there who is so similar to me.
Hope you enjoy your relaxing bath - i love lush. I bought one of there sunflower bath bombs and it was gorgeous. it had lost of little petals in it and smelt divine!!!
Have bought some purple stuff - forget the name of it but it's suppose to relax you and send you to sleep. Think i might try that on the kids!!! LOL

Completely agree, it is good knowing someone "out there" is having the same journey as me, it really helps knowing I am not the only one struggling. The fact that we started more or less at the same time on the same weight helps too.
Never got that bath in the end, it seems like it was the night for people from the old school to ring up to see how the kids were getting on - not heard from anyone and then three in one night!

Well as you may have seen on other people's threads it is the Jewish new year. A bit like Christmas this is a time for eating, major style. For the next couple of days at my mums we will be on the turkey dinner but tonight I made dinner at home - three courses of it! I survived the challah bread (just but did have a tiny, tiny nibble) - now that isn't just a small achievement, normally I would have downed at least four big slices - think big cottage loaves and you will get an idea of what they are like - it is the only bread I truly love and have been tortured by the thought of it for weeks now! I by-passed the egg and onion and chopped liver (liver pate).
I did however have the equivalent of a thin slice of chicken but avoided the veg and potatoes. The thing is the chicken was chicken kiev - now I scraped the breadcrumbs off and tried to pick some that hadn't been near the garlic butter.
They finished off with mixed berries (strawberries, rasberries, red berries and black berries) and honey cake - oh and I bought a chocolate cake too!
I guess it could have been worse, I am definately feeling annoyed with myself for nibbling but somehow proud because I have been and am still dreading this weekend the whole time I have been doing LL!
Feeling a bit miffed that I ate some chicken but am acknowledging to myself that it could have been a lot worse.

Did ok today, lots of nice comments in shool about how much weight I had lost, got through lunch with just a slice of turkey to nibble on, then I had a quarter of a slice of challah bread when I got home (was buttering some for the kids).
Again not the end of the world, but, the scales just aren't shifting this week and it looks as if I am on for a "stay the same" which is a bummer especially as crooked thinking is telling me that if I am on for a poor loss I may as well eat!
One more day and I am through the worst of it, I have been dreading this weekend for months because so much emphasis is put on food - I guess you get what you aim for!

Hiya Flopster, I reckon you have done so well, looking back on what you have had, and what you could have had might be the key.
You could have eaten everything and loads of it but you didnt.
If the scales dont shift this week, its not the end of it, they will shift the week after.
At the end of the day, life is life, and we all have to live, this weekend has been such a biggy for you and I think you coped admirably.
Dont beat yourself up, tomorrow is another day and next week is another weigh in.
Hmmm, I give really good advice, wish I could give it myself too, why is it so easy to dish advice out but much harder to take it!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope you enjoyed your new year and heres to a fab new one x
