Time to get serious!

GOOD NEWS! the ketosix survived last nights lapse in willpower! Thank goodness! My poor mum hasn't though, she's been sucking polos and she is only in her second week of slim and save, I kinda believe you get a little more resistant to foods as you go on, I completely made that up, but that's what i think anyhow, told her to ditch the mints, she hated going into ketosis and now has to do it all over again - twice in two weeks - screw that!!

I was however punished, I used shop bought ginger/garlic paste (i usually use fresh but thought i would give it a go) and ugh, hello indigestion! the rest of the jar is going in the bin! I'm not a fan of tins or jars, but thought it's make it easier!

Naaaahh, I LOVE cooking and he is my only excuse to do it lately! it keeps me sane, and as long as im not spooning, it keeps me occupied as well!

Feeling better today, so wandering if my cooking had a calming relaxing effect on me? not feeling famished like i have recently, really shows that mood still has a grasp over my eating habits though.

So maybe, just maybe today marks the end of the recent struggle!

ABSOLUTELY!
 
So glad you survived the ketostix test lol that's unfortunate about your mum. I didn't think polo mints would be so sabotaging!

If you found it helped relax you then that's great! Lol you will know fresh is best in future. It's amazing how little things like that can make our bodies react so badly.

How are you feeling today?

Hopefully you have a great day!

Today went well, I probably could have happily SSd, but had half a pack of tofu expiring and some rapidly wilting veg that needed eating, and I hate food waste, so had an almost ss+ meal - not enough tofu, but 9g more veg then I should have had!

Never the less, glad it's Friday tomorrow, feeling quite tense again so need a weekend to (try to) relax!
 
Sounds good hun :)


I don't think 9g more veg will hurt much lol

Glad you had a great day!

Def try to enjoy ur weekend huni. You need to destress and don't get so tense!

What day do you weigh?

Xx
 
Deffo need to distress, seeing my man Saturday which is good, but what isn't good is we now have nowhere we can chill out together since my parents were going away but cancelled last minute, and he didn't get me a ship pas since he was supposed to be coming here. Grr. He can come here but we can't relax since basically I still think my mum doesn't like him, not sure we can even escape to my room and watch a movie since she'll get funny about it, you wouldn't think I'm almost 30!!!! So stressing about what we will do Saturday now :-( :-( not seen him for two weeks so just wanna relax and enjoy some time together. Hoping the weather might suddenly change its mind- then at least we could sit in a park or something! Just wish my mum would accept him, I think it's more likely I will have to accept that she won't :-(

Sorry. Rant over.

I weigh myself every Tuesday (morning, after a wee, stark bol***k naked - not that I'm anal about it or anything!) my cwpc appointments often vary which day, so that's my consistent reading.
 
Lmao so funny! At least you have a set day to weigh.

Why do you think ur mum doesn't like him!

If your happy ria stuff it! I know it's hard cuz it's ur mum but and relationship is between 2 people that's it!

Your mum will have to come round when she sees how happy he makes you. How long have you both been together? How did you meet etc!?

Don't stress about it ria because you want to enjoy yourself. Just watch a movie in ur room, you are an adult! Ur mum will get over it lol

Well...we've been together just over 2 years, we met on the cruise ship he works on, and he's from India.

To cut a long story short, last year he came to stay at my house 10 days, and caused a major culture shock with my mum mostly, and things haven't been the same since. My mum is struggling with the differences in culture that I have obviously had much more time to get used to. Then theres the fact that I'm an only child and it's quite likely I will move to india one day.... that's probabaly her main problem. My dad pulled me aside the other day to tell me that he's a lovely guy and theres no reason to dislike him, just my mum is offended that he wants me to be in india with his family as opposed to us staying here, if it werent for that she'd be fine, but what am I to do about that. Actually it's my choice what I do.

Well... that's the short version, if you have a lot of time on your hands you can read the long version here... me and India
 
So today has been ok so far, choc shake for breakfast, mango shake for lunch. Had a teeny (think not much bigger than a crumb) bit of a brownie a colleague made, but apart from that all good.

Just unfortunately I did a bit of scales hopping this morning and they haven't moved since tuesday :-s worries me a bit!
 
I will defo be reading the long version! I get where ur coming from the culture differences must have shocked her but just something to accept and the fact that your an only child and she knows you will loose you I guess can be hard to deal with.

Like you say it's ur choice and if ur happy them that's important!

Glad today is going good so far hun :)

Lol standing and watching is defo something ya get used to on this diet lol atleast you can make it sound funny lol.

You decided what your going to do about the weekend yet?

Remember to breeeeeathe... And relax :)

Xxx
 
Hmmm, full of love and stress!!! At least this diet gives me something to focus on!

Don't know what I will do tomorrow, I guess I'll just wait and see what Rana says when I speak to him in the morning!

Done ok today, things still sneaking in my mouth though, when the nibbles were being had I snuck 2 dried corn kernels and 2 dried peas shock horror! And then the biting chewing and spitting of a chapati just now! Apart from that though it was 2 shakes and a bar, so it's ok.
 
Shame on you for peas and corn! Lol

The 2nd visit didn't seem too bad compared to the 1st so maybe tomorrow will be fine!

He will be glad to be with you no matter the situation!

I would absolutely love to visit India! Sound like you had an interesting time lol

Yeah maybe, I just seem to get in a proper panic every time now because if it. Oh I really hope it's fine.

Gonna pick him up at 9.30, come back here for a while then probably go into town for a little shopping before he has to go back 2ish.

India is awesome as long as you are fully prepared for the massive interruption of all of your senses. I'm going back the end of this year to meet his parents then we plan to fly to Delhi and head to Agra from there so that I can see the Taj Mahal!

Anyway, on the diet front, got on the scales this morning and 2lbs lighter than yesterday morning! Oddly when I weighed last night I was lighter than yesterday morning too... Batteries are low though so probably time I changed them. So for the first time in my memory I am in the 10s!!! Yay! Just 2.5 more lbs to a normal bmi!!! Whoop!

Plan for today? Had a mousse for breakky, feeling full from that, will either do some lunch for Rana here and have a shake myself or if we eat out think ill have some tandoori chicken and salad - the only potential issue for that is the yogurt it would be marinated in (not an epic disaster) and if any oil Is used in cooking (not great, but not carbs) and it not being breast meat (meh, could be worse!) then dinner will prob be another shake!
 
You will have a great day!

R u nervous about meeting the parents? Lol

You seem to have things figured out in the diet department. That's good about the 2lb! According to my scales I'm 3lb heavier! Really getting fed up of those things now I think il just ask my husband to hide them before I have a nervous breakdown lol

A little nervous about meeting them, I want them to like me and I need I be careful with cultural things like I will have to touch there feet when I meet them as respect.

Today went ok actually! Just ended too quickly, now sat at home bored, which makes me think about food!!! Countdown begins again... One week!

The ship he was on last year was in port today as well so we saw a load of his old friends in town, they all said how different I am looking now which is nice!

I think we need to ban scales!! They just mess with our heads! Ugghhh,

Gonna go shopping tomorrow, saw loads in town today I liked but it was too bloody hectic, gonna go back at opening tomorrow so I can avoid the masses!!

Just need to find something to keep me occupied this afternoon!!
 
Wow I guess the whole cultural thing is an eye opener especially when u may cause offence/disrespect without even realising it!

So glad you had a nice day!

Defo a good idea to go at opening on a Sunday it's much more peaceful than elbowing people around and getting hot and flustered!

Always nice to get lots of comment from people that haven't seen you in a while.

Are u going on the ship in June? How long u going for this time?

Xxx
 
Oh not so bad! Hopefully it drops soon so you can get it booked! I know there's nothing worse than having to wait on something xxx
