Twinkle's Journey

[bunchomonkeys]

Day 10! Double figures again, yay! Feeling good this morning and ready for the day ahead

I've just realised I forgot to have my 3rd pack last night, this is only the 3rd time since starting Exante but can't believe I just toddled straight off to bed without having it. I think some bouillon and coke zero will be helping me today.

I'm feeling slim today but also quite constipated again (sorry for the tmi). My waist and bum still look and feel like they need to catch up with the rest of me but hopefully I can work on that starting at the end of March.

The plan for today is to buy a cooker and a mattress and have it delivered to the new house on Friday and then blast my way through the rest of the packing. There's really not much left to do now but it's panicking me a bit that there is still stuff to do. I don't know what I'm going to be like in a few wks when I won't have such a busy life lol. Keeping busy has definitely been the key to my success so far, so I'm guessing the new house will always be immaculate just because I'll need something to do

I'm already looking forward to weigh in on Sunday, if I find the scales by then, as I'm really hoping to be in the better half of the 11's, 1.5lbs is all I need to lose to just make it, so that's my goal for this week.

I hope you all have a great day and keep strong xx

You did better than me..... I realised as I was hitting bed last night that I had only had one in two seperate sittings - not good :sigh:

As for your target this week - you should smash that with all you have going on!! :superwoman:

Today has been a bit hectic so far. I've been trying to get a new mattress and a new cooker delivered to the new house on Friday but after 12pm and no chance. Dave has to wait outside the new house for the mattress from 8am and the cooker is being delivered on Saturday, which tbh is probably better but at least it's done now. So I haven't actually started on finishing the house yet :-/

Diet wise, I felt hungry earlier so I had a porridge at 10.45am which is very early for me but felt better for having it. I feel slim but bloated at the moment, not sure if that makes any sense but that's how it is.

I'm currently having a black coffee, collecting terror tot at 12.30pm and then going to do some serious boxing up. I only have today and tomorrow to do it, as I'm in the new area on Thursday, so I really need to get a move on :-S x

Don't forget to make time to breathe! Tires me out reading what you get through - big well done for hitting double figures and enjoy that slim feeling

I am feeling sooo drained. I'm comjng down with a cold alongside everything else going on. Today is going to be a WS day, which is a first for me but I think my iron levels may be a bit low. I am going to have a low calorie meal tonight and not start at day 1 again tomorrow as I will not be going off plan but for today, I need this :-S x

Hi Twinkle well done, just a quick question what is three beanies coffee. I have heard it mentioned a few times but don't know what it is, do you order it from exante?

 

[Susie58]

Enjoy your meal Twinkle, you sound like you need it. Stressful & exhausting time is moving house.

Back to TS tomorrow x

 

[Darcy15]

Take care of yourself Twinkle - try and get a bit of rest x

 

[notsoskinnymarge]

You are probably a bit run down with all that is going on !
I hope you feel better soon

Hi Twinkle. Hope you're feeling better soon. There are a lot of bugs going round. Look after yourself and take it easy.

 

[bunchomonkeys]

Hey Twinkle - look at the upside, at least when you move you will have a comfy new mattress to sleeeeeeeeep on :zz: Blissful rest - you need it girl!

 

[x-Katie-x]

Hope you're soon feeling better, try and get as much rest as possible, I know that will be difficult with the move and everything xx

I know my last post may have seemed a bit out of character for me, especially seeing as I was feeling good this morning. Over the last few days, a cold has been creeping up and I feel really drained in general. Today I finished the upstairs and managed to clean it all and by the time I was finished, it was time to get my children from school, then cook and then come to work, so it's been another mad day. The final straw for me today was when I sat on the sofa (which is very rare) and fell asleep for 10 minutes before work but when I woke from my nap, I was more than light headed and couldn't focus properly or hold my balance. Dave knew there was something not right as well, so I decided that a sensible meal was needed and it has helped. I've thought about it all evening and decided that I will start to add in the odd WS day here and there but this week I will probably add a few small things, such as veg to my shepherd's pie pack or chicken to my curry, just small amounts to help me. I have less than 22lbs to lose now and I know at some point I will need to start adding food and learn to control my eating habits, so I'm going to take a few small steps. I will have TS days too and I will be strict with anything I do choose to eat and it breaks my heart that I feel like this but I'd rather stick to Exante in a way that suits me than feel like I have done today. I just think I'm pushing myself too hard for the amount of physical activity I am dojng at the moment. Hopefully things will change in a few weeks when I have a lot less to do and I'll be able to do a long stretch of TS days.

Thank you all for your kind words and support. I'm not falling off the wagon, just trying to keep in shape for the next couple of wks xx

Sounds like your body needs a break Twinkle. Planned controlled added foods are the best way to go. If you think you may be a bit anaemic add a bit of red meat if you eat it & spinach. Hopefully you will feel back to your normal self once the move is over with & things have settled down xx

I had red meat in my meal tonight for that reason. Hopefully adding in a bit in may just tide me over until I've got my energy back xx

That sounds like a great and very under control plan
