Thread: Blonde Logic's Stream of Consciousness/Diary

Well, I went to bed full of confidence!

Woke up this morning, feeling quite nervous!!

May the pangs of hunger stay far far away.....

Good luck on LL! I'm on day 1 of CD today, just remember to swig your fat burning juice (Water!)

We'll get through it, ay Blue!!?? Chug chug chug-a-lug!!

I am having my first packet - a chocolate shake mixed with hot water topped off with coffee.

Its just as good as a Starbucks Mocha!. (If I keep telling myself that, maybe I will believe it......it's a long shot...but maybe......

At least its not horrible.

Good luck hon!

Hehe, i add all kinds of stuff to coffee. Strangely i've been told that banana and coffe are nice but that's my idea of hell!

I make mochas too Use the CD ready made choc shake as milk and top up with water.

I'm 2litres down already! Catch up xxxx

Ok, I am going to start making just a few notes and thoughts, as regularly as possible. I would say every day,but know that is not realistic, but while it is fresh I will try. These are really just notes I can refer back to - feel free to comment if you want, or feel free to completely ignore them too!! Its just an easy way for me to track some things I would otherwise forget.

DAY ONE

Well, I made it through Day One! Was not as scary as I had imagined it would be. There were a few moments I wanted food, but only one or two where I felt hungry, but not starving. It was pure habit, the times I wanted something. By abstaining, I recognise I was not hungry, just wanted to eat.

Meals today were Chocolate Shake, hot with Coffee; Mushroom Soup; Thai CHili Soup; Raspberry Shake blended with ice.

Managed all my water. Spent a lot of time - A LOT - in the loo.

Inner thoughts: I MUST complete this; I am doing this for ME; everyday things will NOT be an effort any longer if I stay true to the plan and just how nice that will be.

Have not gone mad smoking - expected to increase massively due to abstaining. So far, not too bad.

Over all - very very pleased with the ease of the day.

Concerned about the water - drank it all OK, bbut could see how that could easily taper off - hope it just becomes second nature as it is so important.

Had a nice hot soak in bath, read LL books, reflected and now I will drink my shake and then go to bed before long.

A good day.

Well done, I'm glad you've had such a good start to the programme - isn't it great to be one day in

Hope tomorrow goes just as well for you, you should notice that the amount of time spent in the loo goes down pretty soon as your body gets used to taking in so much - just be ready for the cold to set in. Being cold was really the only 'side effect' I suffered from last time and last night when we were in bed my hubby suddenly remember that and realised that he's about to be used as a hot water bottle all over again

Keep going strong!

Hi blonde

I have been reading your diary with interest and a chuckle here and there. I just wanted to say a quick hello and wish you all the luck and strength in the world while you are climbing the ketosis wall these first few days. Something speaks to me from the way that you write that you will have no problems. Your head is so in the right place I am sure you will be amazed when you stand on the scales again in a week.

Take care and keep on rockin!
Laura

THanks Katie! So far so good on day two!! Woohoooo!!! I am actually enjoying tha packets too - the Thai Chili is lovely - I could eat that forever, even off the plan!! (Good grief - I am losing it already!!) LOL

THanks for your encouragement!

Thank you Laura! That's really nice....I can't wait till first weigh in.

I must admit, I was terrified of this - but so far, its much easier then I imagined. I know there will be struggles ahead, and attribute much of the ease to my enthusiasm as a newbie....I hope I hold on to it. I plan to hold on to it...and feel very encouraged so far!!!

Thanks again - you made me smile.

Good to hear you're still going strong - great to hear you sounding so positive .... and loving the thai chilli eh - I still drink it occasionally but I usually use that one to make crisps out of with an added kick of tabasco sauce mmmm.

I've had a good day, have still got the headache/face-ache but that's from the sinusitus rather than the diet. Drank my 4 litres already and am now on the next glass so that's been okay too.

well blonde logis - as much as i relate to most of your initoal entry -boy do i -I have to confess to being hard on my partner when he tries that absent minded junk buying thing. I know it happens - i do - but for me there is always that rapid battle of will I won't I before i utter the 'and a large dairy milk please' which undercuts the absent minded thing. I dont buy crap unwittingly I always have the final decision - and its quite usually the bad one. Of course there are reasons for this too and I'm gald you've mustered the courage to face what has set you on your self destructive journey.

hopefully I can learn to be more understanding if OH slips 'absent-mindedly' again. lets hope he doesn't tho -we're both on Lipotrim and I NEED him. lol

Good Luck - keep us posted eh?

Oh poor you with your face/head ache. I woke in the night with a bad headache too, and like wasn't diet related either - I have something wrong with my neck. Just one of my manu pains. Hehe - we are a pair, ay?!

I am managing the water better then I thought I would...but I can't wait till the bod is used to it and the trips to the loo lessen!! lol

Glad you are getting on good too Katie! I am really looking forward to my weigh in!!

Keep on keepin on girl!! And I hope that headache goes away!!

xx

DAY TWO

Well - this is two days of success. I think I will quit now, while I am ahead. ONLY JOKING!!!! hehehehe

Again, so surprised at how easy I am finding this! It boggles my mind....I think the 6 weeks or so I had to wait from learning about LL for the first time, to starting this week was sooo beneficial for me. I spent that time really getting my head around it, and believe that will pay off.

No side effects as of yet aside from burning a track in the carpet at work on the path to the loo.

No probs getting the water down.

Again, at the same time in the morning I wanted food. Out of the blue. But the feeling soon passed.

Its really so good, and so easy. So far. Lets not forget its early days, and there will no doubt be many hurdles and heartaches along the way - but I feel good. Really good about this.

2 days down - about 238 to go! Oy vay!! But..... one day.... it will be 238 days down - 2 to go. And that is what I am setting my sights on. A successful completion. And I cannot wait.

Very thankful for this site and all the lovely people on it. So many inspirational men and women.

It's good. Really good this road to a new life.

Thank you, and good night.

Thanks BL, I've taken a couple of the extra strong anadin and though it's not got rid of it it has lessened it a touch (though not enough!).

Have you got something for your neck?

The good thing about the toilet trips is that all the walking to and fro and up the stairs is gonna be burning off some extra calories

I'm looking forward to weigh in too - living Monday to Monday now LOL

I thought the same thing about all the extra trips up the stairs to the loo!! Burning calories - flushing fat. Gotta be a good thing!!

Isn;t it funny, Monday was once the most hated day, and now its the day I will look forward to most!!

Can't wait to hear how it goes for you hon!! xx
