so is natural yog allowed as the protein allowance?

Prob not! But it's not kicked me out of ketosis and stops me reaching for 1000s of calories worth of chocolate and tastes nice ESP when combined with a pack so helps me use up the packs. Which is why I have it.

Have you seen the time? It's nearly 2pm and I'm just getting up and out! It takes me ages to get ready... can't wait for the days I can shower and throw my clothes on without all the ceremony of recovering from surgery!

I had a little salmon this morning too D mmm mmmm! Kept me going.

I'm going to try and walk into town now after a morning of physio. I've slowed down a little over the past few days as I did too much on Sat, but I've got to keep going!

How are you both doing? I need more to drink!

Be kind to people on crutches x

 

[Lou_G]

I'm a fully paid up member of the crutch appreciation society

Doing alright now i've had my mush pack with mushrooms and once again it was delicious! Cup of tea now and building a house with dd

Did you make it to town? You're very determined, id take the excuse to veg on the sofa!

 

[katycan]

Ugh... I love mushrooms, but hate mushroom *flavoured* things!

I made it to town... the walk in was just getting used to walking again really! I managed to get some bits in town before I flopped in Starbucks and had a coffee. The walk back was harder - I always seem to do a little more than I'm able to! Hahaha! I'd take it as an excuse to lounge, but I can't risk the surgery failing... I know I need to be careful though, surgery can fail from overdoing it to!

I bought some turkey and chilli powder or tomorrow's protein!

25 1/2 hours down 1 1/2 to go that's how I'm feeling! Lol

 

[katycan]

Well, physically I had a much better day yesterday. I got into town - and I did loads of physio which has helped, I can eve feel that this morning! I managed to get to rock choir too... Now, there's nothing like a good song to lift your spirits... Something insiiiiide so strong!

I got on the scales this morn and I'm only .2 of a lb down. I think I'm maybe overdoing the protein... And I need to remember that I have lost 8lbs and it's only day 5. Can't wait til people start noticing!

Onwards...

 

[Lou_G]

don't think you can ask for more than 8lbs in 5 days!! don't be greedy!!! Must admit I had a sneaky weigh this morning and down 0.8 from Sat but down about 6lbs from Monday morning post-Xmas dinner! So can't complain. Sat is official weigh in tho

Ooh Rock choir, I always fancy that, I used to do something similar at school/6th form and loved it. I think my closest one is 20 min drive away tho and starts quite late in eve (well, 8.30) but I'm definitely an early to bed early to rise kind gal

♫ Something inside so stroooooong♫ *emotional clenched fist*

 

[katycan]

You're right... What more can I ask? Really!


Love Rock Choir- you get a free taster visit too! Is there one nearer work?

 

[katycan]

The freezer is now my best friend... I put a vanilla shake in there with some low fat yogy... just had a sneaky taste and it is delish!

The scales didn't move again this morning. That's ok though!

 

[katycan]

Fallen... off... the... wagon.


With a fairy cake, of all things. Not even that much of a big fan of cake, but, anyway, there are worse things in the world. I had sugar free sweets too... I know they're not too bad in terms of carbs, but I think they gave me a taste for sweet things, which I was coping well without.

Lots of water tonight. Back on it tomorrow...

Dust yourself off and start again hun we've all had moments like that it's how we react to the that makes the difference x

 

[Lou_G]

don't turn a lapse into a col-lapse :rollseyes: cheesy words from Lou_G...ooh cheese!!

xxxx back on the horse today Katy xxx

 

[Lou_G]

back on the horse Katy - one fairy cake isn't the end of the world, you can do it!!!!!!!!

 

[katycan]

Thanks for the cheese and encouragement, willpower and Lou! I've decided today's a 100% kind of day. I can't give in! A friend is coming later to take me for coffee... Looking forward to that. See how sad life is at the mo?! You certainly find out who your friends are when you're the one in need for a change. I don't mean that negatively... It's just true in my experience. I've never been dependent like this before, and it's a real eye opener!

Counting my blessings with the lovely friends that have stuck by me!

 

[Lou_G]

soz didn't mean to post twice earlier, my internet was being a ***&!^$()"*$^%!! Probably duplicate posts all over from me this morning, it kept crashing and saying it was broken

Yay for good friends! Good to know who you can count on when you need them

 

[katycan]

So, the friend came round and she took me for more than a coffee... We had some food out. While I mainly had protein and fat there were defo carbs in there. I'm going out tonight too... What do you do when you go out? Say you've already eaten? Drink water? I know I won't be able to hold out on water all night!

So, weigh in read 17.1 this morning, so I've put on a lb for my two semi- sin days... I've resolved to that. I've measured this morning and have lost 7 inches from all over... Must've done something right!

Energy levels are a little better... I'm hoping they stay up. I've got a tendency to do too much and then flop for a few days!

I'm also going out tomorrow night, won't be heavy drinking night but there will be food around. Hmmmm. Socialising is tough when on this! Any hints and tips?

How are you all doing?

 

[Lou_G]

Got to admit that I rarely go out and specifically chose to start S&S the Monday after a weekend when we had family stuff etc. Although I'm staying at my Mum's tomorrow night with my sis and her and my kids and there will be chinese and sweets etc but they'll understand, and it's alright with them as I can just tell the truth.

Must be much harder for people with an actual social life!!! I think I've seen some people on here just choose chicken salad on meals out and that counts as the veg/protein allowance, then right back on it 100% the following day. That's what I'd suggest.

For buffets, no-one really notices what everyone else takes so just steer clear of that (if you can bear it!!)

But, of course, easier said than done

 

[katycan]

Hey everyone, well, I've not been 100% this weekend as I've had two social events. I've eaten at those bit mainly stuck to protein and veg- not totally though. I'm straight back on it today... I'm not going to cheat or come off for a good while- even with social occasions!

Last night I got confirmed- it's all part of the vicar process, but it was really meaningful actually. I had on a size 16 phase eight dress (generous 16!). I'm thinking about what size Ill be by Christmas... It's almost too big a thing to think about. And I'm worried about flabby skin. All about good moisturiser!!!

I've been single for what feels like forever and had a dream last night about an ex. It makes me cringe when I get compliments from people- something that's normally triggered me falling off the wagon, but I want to stay on it this time and deal with stuff rather than freak out!

Oh... Got all deep there! Hope you all enjoyed your extra hour!
