Thread: My time has come...AGAIN!!! ;-) May Madness!!!

Excellent Conor! Great to see the scales going down. Being off the booze is absolutely massive. I've not touched a drop since June 2010 so approaching 2 years now and I honestly thought I'd miss it but I haven't at all. Not sure if I'll ever drink again. Only temptation is on a sunny afternoon! Keep up the good work!

Hi Conor, You Wicklow lads kept all the sunshine for yourselves cos there was only rain in Kildare!! And hail.


Stick with this diet. It works. Really fast And it does get a whole lot easier after week three. I know ppl say week one but I found that after week 3 I just got into a groove and now I am there and I am not coming out til I am 9 stone. Its just habit now. The effort required on this diet is significantly less than that required to achieve success with WW or Slimming World and you dont have to go to a meeting and be lectured at! Win Win.

Wow Dave, that is some achievement being off the booze for that period of time. Unfortunately, most of my social life involves boozy occasions. It's tough being off it, but I feel the better for it. Like to-night, all my mates are in the pub watching the Leinster v Ulster rugby match, I doubt I'd enjoy it or their company sipping water or Coke Zero. Maybe that will change with time...

Thanks for dropping by,

Conor

Failte Belle,
It's lovely to have another shrinking Mini from the Shamrock Shore.
Talk about weather, I had a guy doing work on my roof to-day, and it was glorious sunshine, 20 minutes after he left we had a hail shower!!! Yep, this is my second attempt on here, and no doubt it works when you see the awesome results some people have enjoyed. Already, I have seen a drop from my starting weight, but being off the booze and bad eating habits was bound to pay dividends. It certainly seems to be working for you. Almost 2 and a half stone down already, Good for you.

Keep in the groove,

Conor

Woot woot Conor! You are doing so well

Greetings Minis,
Thanks to all my well wishers. Well I am really and truly back on the wagon. I am drinking my 3lt of water a day, taking my Psyllium Husks and plodding along WS. The boys have embraced the healthier diet also, so that's a major bonus for me. The eldest lad is just in from hurling training and rather than put on cr*p, he stir fried broccoli in olive oil, fair play to him.

Well I finally booked our family holiday this afternoon. I have rented a classy villa in Murcia, Spain for two weeks. I am delighted, as I was getting bored with the same old, same old apartments for silly money, so I booked it and the flights for August 4th. Now wouldn't I be the proud man if I had shed 2 to 3 stone by then....

I have avoided the scales for the past couple of days, but I expect to loose about 5lbs this week, as I'm keeping to plan the best I can. No major side effects, an occasional threatening headache, but I just get another 500ml of boiled water into me and that seems to sort it. It's great not feeling tired and sluggish from the carbs, what a welcome change...

I need to pick up the exercise a bit, but hopefully I will get in a good walk in the morning. Well that's about it. I can see from the threads I have visited that the weight is melting off you all.

Continued successes,

Conor

Woohoo a great incentive, you can get 2-3 stone off by then no probs Great to see the boys are embracing a healthy lifestyle now too. You are a great role-model for them and a great dad.
Your poor mum had the cast on for ages, how's your dad these days is he better too?

Thanks Ali, I sure hope so. I never again want to see 280lbs (20 stone) on a weighing scales! Yep, she has had the full slab to the shoulder for the past 12 weeks, but she broke it in two places and her age is against her, she's doing great besides... this too will pass. The old man is hail and hearty at 85 years young, he has raise his game by doing Mum's bidding from assisting her getting dressed to making endless rounds of tea. He has a fantastic appetite, God Bless him, we all do, hence the weight problem

Good to hear everything is getting better and you can concentrate on yourself for a change

Just get the boys through their exams now Well done on your abstinence from alcohol. I could have done with a G&T tonight after the day I had so I had a large sparkling water with loads of crushed ice! My imagination runs away with me sometimes lol

Hows your spongebob cup ?

Your're doing brilliantly ...

Would you not chance a glass of vino, Ali ? I thought I read on the list (sticky) that vino was allowed as well as spirits, but I don't care for spirits, so I plan to have the occasional glass of Merlot with my protein & veggies stir-frys.

Hi dawnybabes, you are most welcome to my ramblings... Yes, I have that fine vessel on the table here beside me, full of cooling boiling water... Spongebob is my secret weapon in my battle of the Bulge!

Hurling in Wicklow. Wow I love it the only problem is the OH is from KK so I'm sick of them winning maybe Wicklow can take over from them in a bit. Enjoying your thread well done & good luck on your journey. It's keeping me sane cos it's either Minimins or the LL & Minimins wins hands down.

Alcohol and keto in any form is a no-no. I'm on TS so it would make me very ill indeed. Don't miss it tbh
