The last 100 metres!

One hour to go before my day officially starts! At least the wee early hours have gone by fairly quickly. Will have a shake just before I leave for spinning. Feeling a bit chilly but I think it is just generally cooler today. No sunrise to see this morning, the clouds are doing their best to hide it!

Ooh, cold feet! Brrr!

Couldn't help but sneak on the scales (several times) I need to put them away to remove the temptation to keep getting on before it makes me :crazy: crazy! I kinda feel that the hard work will only start once I get back under 10st.

Scale obsessed anyone?! :)busted:) x

Half way thru Day 2 of CWP today and woke up with a really bad headache. Can't be dehydration coz I had my water allowance properly yesterday... Still managed to go to the gym thinking it'll help a bit which it did but then headache and nausea returned. Did anyone else feel like this in the beginning too? Is this normal and how long does it last?!

Hi Ams,

i thought I'd wait till my day 2 to post as I couldn't comment till then. I haven't noticed a headache yet, but that's not to say that it won't come! I am drinking loads though- I generally drink a lot anyway. If you're going to the gym I think you'd need an extra 1litre over and above the rest of the day if it's intensive and you're sweating lots.

How're you feeling today? x
 
Morning!! I'm feeling much better today thanks, hopefully side effects will reduce but I'm on Day 3 now so just got to be strong and not give in! Hopefully will see good results on my 1st weigh in on Monday! Off to the gym now and yeah I think I should drink a bit more than allowance since I'm working out - good point :)
 
Morning illy!

You should be sleeping like a log soon. Just takes a bit of time for your body to adjust. Try a hypnosis track. I gave some on my iTunes. Sometimes they help me fall asleep.

Good luck staying awake today :) bring on day 2 :) x
 
I'm glad you're feeling better Ams :) Do you have much to lose?

How did your day 1 go bubbly?

I had absolutely no problem spinning my heart out in spin! I'm so pleased! It was raining when I got up (at 3.30!) and still at 5.45 so did spin instead of running today but hopefully tomorrow it'll be better and I can go for a run! It's such a relief though :D

I had a shake before, but hungry again now. Will have lots of water and tea to get me through till "lunch" x
 
Feeling a bit hungry now but soldiering through and having tea in the meantime. Have drunk soooooo much liquid today! :sign0131: Had almost a whole litre just in spin!

So far I can tolerate the chocolate shake, chocolate tetra and strawberry tetra (although the strawberry doesn't taste like strawberry!) Today I'm going to try the chicken and mushroom soup for dinner so fingers crossed! x
 
Chicken and mushroom soup was ok! Yay! It tasted very similar to a cup-a-soup. So one more for my list! Tomorrow I will try the chocolate mint shake and chilli soup.

Stomach is making crazy noises! Also... ... ...

**************** Too much information warning *****************


Seem to need to "go" more often too

illy x
 
Ooh, hungry again! It's like waves of hunger. Probably cos of the spinning and lack of sleep (poor sleep can increase your appetite by 6% :eek:)

Mind over matter... Thou shalt blog in lieu of food :character00148:
 
Biologically there must be a reason... I would usually be able to work it out (I have a very science brain) but I literally feel as if I can't think at the moment!! Brain is glucose and sleep deprived!

me minus:4635: minus:eatdrink051: equals :crazy:

Hey Illy! Yeah day 3 was good today, felt completed normal and increased uptake of fluids as well today. I've got just under 2 stones to lose - don't know how quickly I will see results?! Lol lets see just gotta be patient coz i am doing the right things and just gotta hang in there I guess! Xx
 
Same as me Ams! I want to lose 1-2 stone! I have no idea how long it will take either, the cambridge diet is completely new to me! Glad you're feeling good again :)

The soup made such a nice change, hot and fairly normal tasting. I can see why you're a fan Bubbly! Have you managed to shift the headache? Keep drinking that water (have a swig now, go on, I'll wait ;) )

The sleep/appetite link is quite well established Ria. Also appetite increases around a woman's period- aren't we girls lucky?! ;) (not!) How long till your hols now? 9 days? Are you going for 2 weeks?

Last night was a HUGE struggle for me! All I could think about was food and how hungry I was. And how it would probably keep me from sleeping properly again :( I did manage to drop off though, and woke up at the much more reasonable time of 5.30. I wish that I could sleep easily. I wouldn't mind but 1) I need to sleep 2) I can't eat if I'm asleep! 3) the time goes way too slowly in the late/early hours and sleep makes them go quicker!
Will the sleep get easier? Anything that helps?

And although i felt perfectly normal during spinning, at night i was ravenous! Think on exercise days I might need to have more...

To all those who have stuck to sole source for weeks and months, a very big applause!! And how did you do it?! Answers on a postcard please :p

Busy busy day ahead today

Hi bubbly,

Haha, yeah! No 3am posts! Sleep was much better but what a struggle last night. It took every bit of my will to not cave! Have a good day 3 too :) x
 
Good girl for not caving in. Ill pm my mob no and you can text if you feel weak, if you like. I can reply instantly if I'm free, which might help?

Congratulations on day 2. Bring on day 3!!! Have a good one :) x
 
That's so sweet :) thanks hon, I will! And likewise!

Just had choc mint shake- it was soooooooo tasty!! Yum! Definitely a keeper :p x
 
I was reading my diary last night and say a post that said something along the lines of "42 days 100% SS" even I don't know how it stick to it so for so long! Saying that I think SS is the easy bit, it's when you gotta have food again, the temptation for a little bit of this and that feels a little more acceptable!

Yup spot on, were into single digits today... 9 days then 2 weeks of uninterrupted blissful relaxation :)

X
 
Just had the toffee and walnut shake for lunch - its so yum!! Have 2 mini holidays planned, one in 3 weeks and another in 6 weeks so hopefully will see changes by then!! :)
