| Hello Claire, and you are good to keep posting when you're on your own (so to speak... we never know how many people out there are rivetted to our conversations, eh?!)...
So back from holiday with (wait for it...) a 800g gain! I am very proud of myself and even if I had to refuse more treats than I normally would have chosen to, I knew it was the "safest" way to keep myself on the straight and narrow.
I stayed in ketosis right up to the 14th July village meal, but then did something really silly... accepted every glass of aperitif/wine/cremant/digestive offered to me, swallowed every crisp on the table, finished off the contents of the bread basket... oink oink (ok all this was done in a remarkably ladylike fashion, but I was ashamed at how much I put away... and my "legs" were certainly surprised when I stood up and my head spun! I'm normally teetotal!)
I had planned a pure protein day to follow, which I managed easily, and then continued the week "normally" (incorporating pork, ham and lamb - previously "banned meats"!), but staying away from carbs. Sunday we had planned our second gala meal so I allowed myself some (marinated in Chinese BBQ powder) thick greasy ribs - delicious! And 1/3 packet of English biscuits for dessert (I just fancied them, and R had been munching on biscuits all week in front of me...).
So I shall continue out of ketosis, and try to get a kilo or two off nevertheless. R gained 4.5K, which pleased me (how horrid am I?!) as he did keep trying to trip me up with temptation but 1.5K has already gone so he'll be rid of that soon, I'm sure...
Tash?
