Sharon's CS daily ramblings - MiniMins.com

somewhere_inside_is_me · 3rd December, 2008

Day One in the Big Mama house.

Started the day with a pint of water (and 7 more over the rest of the day, so a gold star for me!)

Three half-caff coffees with a dessert-spoon of cream (negligible carbs) during the day.

Took kids to school then a 40 minute walk with the dogs, very cold!!!!

10.30am -Breakfast - CS Banana Shake with 250ml water - ok really but didn't do much to fill me at the time. However, to be fair, I didn't feel hungry again until 2pm.

2.30pm Lunch - sea bass fillet sauteed in a little olive oil with celery and red onions, served on a bed of salad leaves - felt very healthy!

4.30 Snack - 80g tinned tuna with a teaspoon of mayo, and cucumber chunks.

7.00pm Dinner (hmm) - CS Vanilla Shake with 250ml water. I took this once more slowly.

And, in a few minutes at 9pm, Snack - 30g hard cheese grated over salad leaves and cucumber, with some pickled onions.

Fairly happy with first day, not hungry anyway!

Just a quick note to say cs is fab! I just had my first weigh in and 8lbs down! and its easy to stick to. x

somewhere_inside_is_me · 4th December, 2008

Wow, tummum, aren't you doing amazingly well!

After a night with several visits to the bathroom lol, have woken up feeling flu-y, but I guess it could be a detox thing. Undaunted, here goes with a breakfast shake and I've already had 3 pints of water.
(Note to self, must decorate bathroom if spending time there).

Day 2 in the Big Mama house.

All a bit haphazard, but stuck to plan!
Managed water, a bit more coffee today (but it's decaff now).

Breakfast 10.30 - Caramel Shake
Snack 12MD - 30g.cheese with pickled onions
Went to bed for 3hours as tired and headachey.
Snack 4pm - 80g. tinned tuna with 1tsp mayo and cucumber.
Dinner 9pm - cream cheese "appeteasers", followed by lean steak with onions, garlic, red peppers and celery, cooked in a little butter and finished with a splash of cream. Struggled to eat it, tbh!
"Lunch" 11.30pm - had Chocolate shake made with 250ml hot water as a bedtime drink.

I feel less bloated, but I'll do a mid-week weigh-in tomorrow.

Hi Trivenham - glad to see you'll have support from your sister! Full speed ahead tomorrow!

Morning, can you tell me what CS is please, I've not heard of it before...

TRIVENAM · 5th December, 2008

Hiya! Celebrity slim is a 2 meal replacement diet where you can have a low carb/gi meal for the third meal plus 3 snacks a day! A girl on the cover of the product has lost 53kg in 12 weeks!!!

Hi Percy,
Yes, as Trivenam says, you replace 2 meals a day with a Celebrity Slim shake or soup or bar, and the third traditional meal is low carb/low GI (such as chicken and salad, or prawn stir-fry), plus you squeeze in 3 extra snacks (e.g. mushroom with melted cheese). So overall it's a low carb plan, lying between Atkins (where you make most meals) and LighterLife where you replace all meals to begin with.

Hi Trivenam! At the beggining of October I was 12 st 3 lbs and did a week on lipotrim and lost 9lbs, which stayed off. So starting cs I was 11st 8lb. 11st now! im only doing it for 3 weeks to get some weight off for xmas! My mimi goal for xmas was to get under 11st so as i have only got a lb to go I have upped it to try and lose a stone in total.

somewhere_inside_is_me · 6th December, 2008

Day 3 - definitely ill!!!

10.30 Caffe Latte Shake. I was at my mum's and I usually have one of those packet cappucinos, so I beat her to the kettle! Have decided I prefer the hot shakes. We then went to the doctors and then "shopping", which involves breakfast at Morrisons. So after some negotiation with the cafe assistant...
12.30 Snack - 2 fried eggs. It came on 3 pieces of toast but I shoved them to one side, despite that familiar refrain:"Oh Sharon, surely one piece won't hurt you?" Grrrr! And this from a woman thrilled to weigh in that morning at 7st 12lbs ("I've managed to put a bit on").
4.30 - Dinner - Salmon fillet with leek and a mushroom topped with cheese.
8pm Snack - tuna mayo and cucumber (I know, again, but I like it!)
11.30pm "Lunch" - went to bed with CS Roast Chicken Soup. Very tasty!
Eating every few hours, I feel as though I'm eating loads and loads, I wonder if it's too much?

somewhere_inside_is_me · 6th December, 2008

Well the proof of the shake is in the weigh-in! Only starting Day 4 and I've lost 3lbs!

tummum · 6th December, 2008

I know what you mean about it feels like ur eating too much- I felt the same last week . But step away from the scales missus! WEIGH URSELF AFTER A WEEK N YOU WILL BE SO DELIGHTED!!!!

Yes I know I shouldn't have weighed myself - but I was seriously worried that I was overeating! Now I have the opposite problem - I don't really want anything at all!
