Wilma's time to shine.. lets do this!

Wahoooooo!! Lost 1lb at WI this morning! Now deep down I know that it's only because I got weighed in the morning rather than the afternoon so no water/product weight but STILL I don't care I lost 1lb and am really happy with that, especially after the awful week I've had. Had a chat with my new consultant who is lovely, and feeling ready for a good week. Have decided to not do any exercise this week because it's been making me hungry and want to pick at foods. So, I have one more WI before my holiday and if I lose 3lb I'll be at 10.7 before I go away, which I'd be really happy with. So bring it on! Choc shake, apple porridge and leek and potato soup on the cards for today. I'm ready!

Had a really good day today just had my shakes and a tiny bit of milk in my tea, but only two cups today. Had a little argument with myself about the 'should-i-shouldnt-i' have a bit of chocolate today, as it's my WI and therefore I have a week to rectify any damage. But I only just lost the 1lb so really don't want to wreck it for myself next week. Last WI before holiday and I want to lose 3lbs! I know i'll be able to if I'm good, so that kept me spurred on. I have also realised that I'm only 1lb off being half way to my ultimate goal! So want to smash that next week.

Felt pretty full today but think it's because I was busy and didn't really think about food. Felt a little nauseous and a little headache but I guess that's just me getting into ketosis again. I'm going away for the weekend but already told everyone that I won't be eating anything apart from my products and one meal out on Saturday night (Nandos, where I can have a plain green salad and chicken so totally on plan). So pretty confident I'll be able to do it - I don't want to embarrass myself by not being able to stick to the diet in front of friends and boyfriend! Hoping my boyfriend notices I have lost a little bit of weight, but he probably won't. I have been getting a few comments lately like my dad yesterday and my hairdresser today - very nice to hear, but I'm still skeptical that people are just saying it to be nice haha! I can't really notice it in myself. But hopefully will be able to in a few weeks

On a different note got my hair done today. It's now a lovely colour blonde and had a fringe cut in. I like it! And it distracted me from eating planning to keep busy tomorrow by having a lie in, reading through lots of diaries on here, doing a few little toning exercises, reading my new book, painting my nails and downloading lots of music. And the sunbed my little vice!

Hope everyone has had a nice productive day

Saw 10.9 on the scales this morning! Well, woke at 5.30 so went to the toilet, weighed myself and it said 11st! That would be +4lb from yesterday! But assumed it was water retention and didn't wake it too seriously. Plus I knew I'd been 100% yesterday so know that couldn't have happened. Went back to sleep for a bit, then repeated the process and was 5lbs down haha. Fastest 5lb loss without cutting off a leg! But seeing a 10.9 has spurred me on - I can definitely get to 10.7 by next Wednesday!

Soooo I'm going away this weekend, and have just been told everyone is going out for drinks and a night out tomorrow. I wasn't planning on this! Everyone should be busy doing uni work! I can't go out and not drink, I know that. But I will have the excuse that I have an interview the morning afterwards, so won't feel like I have to drink loads. So I have a few options. 1) Stick to just my 3 products and only have a few drinks. 2) Have my products, plus a chicken/salad meal and have a few drinks. 3) Have a bit of a 'treat' meal and have drinks.

Now I know the option I would like to choose! But I think option 2 is the most sensible. I know I'll come out of ketosis but I can get right back on it the next day. Option 3 should be scratched out! I'm not 'treating' myself and I WANT to stick to plan because I WANT to be thin! I go on holiday in a week! Really challenging my all-or-nothing mindset with just having one drink, so fingers crossed I can stick with it

If I'm being totally honest there is a big part of me that is thinking, 'well I'm going to be coming out of ketosis tomorrow anyway so might as well have one of the healthy oat bran muffins I made a few days ago' but I'm also telling myself NO! If I stick with it tonight I will be in ketosis for another WHOLE day, which is another half pound off! And I'll have less glycogen to get rid of the next day if I only have one drink compared to one drink and a muffin Think I've made my choice! I'm so happy I have this diary to vent my feelings - I think my mum gets bored of me going on haha.

Made it through today without cheating very happy with myself. I do love the bars but they just don't seem to fill me up as much as the shakes or soups, so think I'll only get 2 next week. Had a fruits shake, chocolate bar and a chicken and mushroom soup. Feeling a bit nauseous but that's how I know it's working suppose. Not been overly hungry today but just wanted to eat out of habit/boredom I think. Hopefully tomorrow will go well - planning on having a porridge before I go, a tetra on the road and a soup before the night out, maybe with a chicken salad. One or two drinks and thats me done

Hope everyone else is having a good cambridge day

Hey Wilma...how are you doing! Did you survive the weekend? Xxx

 

[misswilma14]

Hey no I have to admit.. I have not survived the weekend. I'm still away and have completely fallen off the wagon. It's so hard to be away with friends and not socialise by eating and a lot of drinking. But I'm going to focus on harm minimisation until after my holiday, then 1st June back on it properly for the summer. Hope everything's well with you x

So after some thinking I have decided that, although I do really like Cambridge and would like to continue, I just don't think my current life circumstances can fit in with it. I'm only young and go out drinking a lot, and can't really do Cambridge and still drink. So going to take myself over to the Slimming World board and get going on that good luck to everyone here x

 

[Sophiesophs]

Awwwww good luck Wilma...I totally get where you're coming from and is something I toy with constantly! You're doing what's best for you,,..and slimming world is great to fit around life and social gatherings Lots of love and luck x
