Day 4 has been busy but I've been well cheesed off because I haven't been able to get on Minimins. My connection to the internet is through my brother's wireless router in his flat. Most of the time the connection is OK but today it has been intermittent!
Started with my usual hop on the scales (I know, I know) but was pleased to see todays weight is 12stone 0.4lbs. Ooh so close to being in the 11s again! Should be there by Monday. Total of 7lbs lost already.
It's amazing how much more confident I feel whilst SSing. This time last week I was still in that low place I had been since before xmas, feeling ugly, fat and generally crap. This week, after just 3 days of SSing I feel gorgeous lol
. I know I don't look much different but I feel soooo different. Maybe it's just being back in control. I'm making my choices in a good way and I no longer feel out of control. I try not to be hard on myself but it is a hard habit to break. I guess I must look at it as the circumstances I was in before christmas were so extreme that I am never likely to be under the same pressure in the same way ever again! I still have lots of worries ie being unemployed but I feel more able to cope with them.
My busy day has consisted of cleaning mostly. My flat looked like a slum this morning so I thought I best give it a clean. Did the whole works and man I feel satisfied! I have really felt like I can't be bothered this week. I never relax but this week I just don't seem to have the energy to do much. This morning I was wondering whether it was to do with starting SSing again. I really can't remember what it was like the first time around although the first time I was so overweight I was tired all the time anyway. I suppose my body has to adjust again doesn't it.
So what have I "eaten" today. Started with a caramel muffin which was too runny so didn't cook properly, doh! Had a lemon bar for lunch and I have just had a hot chocolate. I'm in my danger time (whilst watching Ready Steady Cook again!) so I might have to have a snooze until it passes. Still have one pack left which I will probably have as soup later.
I have about a week and a half left of packs but the local counsellor hasn't been back in touch since I spoke to her on Sunday. I've left a message for her again and hope she calls soon. If not I will try some of the other alternatives. I don't want to run out of packs when I'm on a roll.
I have also managed to get some ironing done and trawl the local paper for jobs. Mind you I think all the cleaning and ironing were a way of procrastinating on the job front. There are a few possiblities out there though so I will have to update my CV and get the applications out tomorrow.
Going to go and breathe slowly now and pretend I'm not hungry. I am not hungry - I am in ketosis. It's all in my head!!!
