Hello JUDDDerers
Well I’ve been lurking around your diaries for a while and you inspired me to read up on the diet and decide to start it after Xmas (plan was to spend up to Xmas sticking to high protein).
Well my excitement got the better of me and when I got back from New York after a short break I decided to jump straight into it.
The more I thought about it I realised it would suit the December I have coming up better anyway which involves an awful lot of parties that I have every intention of enjoying.
NY was amazing – I love the city, did a LOT of shopping, and got to all the main sight seeing spots. Currently thinking of going back there for New Year in a years time. I also enjoyed the food very much and came back about 7lb heavier than when I left (LOL) although excitingly everyone said when I got back that I looked like I’d lost weight – yippee.
Anyway I flew home a week ago and did have a great plan to do a dd on Tuesday (which I managed), making Wednes an up day which was perfect because I had my first xmas party! Basically I work in a sales team and we had an all day sales meeting (just what I needed with jetlag!!) at which I presented– that involved sausage butties when we arrived (yum, yum) and a light lunch. When it finished at 5 I went and set up the pub quiz which we were doing as a team build (I was quiz master) and then onto an Italian for a meal (where there was a karoke machine – eeks) and a few drinks – as normal followed by many more drinks, a casino and we rolled into bed about 4am ish (I stayed at a hotel overnight in London)
Obviously based on that there was no chance of Thursday being a DD (particularly as I had meetings on Thursday in the office and my yearly performance review with my boss!!) so I planned for it to be a MD. But my red wine hangover was so bad I just needed carbs and it definitely turned into an ud!
New plan then had Friday as a dd but jet lag, tiredness and remains of hangover stuck around and it turned into a md (not helped that I got home at 7 realised I’d left my keys in London and had to get the train back into London to pick them up finally getting home at 9.30pm!!)
So feeling somewhat guilty Sat and Sun were dd’s and I was perfect. Sat I had 267 cals (prob helped by the fact I spent most of it asleep) and Sun I had 482.
Delighted to report I jumped on the scales Monday morning and I was down to 10st 9.2 which is 6.8lbs lost and back to my pre NY weight – considering the week I was pretty delighted.
So yesterday was an UD and xmas party number 2. I was in the office so started with beans on toast in our work restaurant and a highlights hot chocolate. Wasn’t hungry at lunchtime so had a prawn roll and some fruit which were left overs from a team meeting lunch that another team had had (less chavvy than it sounds honest). Once the day was over it was down to the pub for a few vodkas, into china town for a chinese (shredded chilli beef and egg fried rice) then onto a casino (came out of the casino evens but a bit gutted because at one point I was about £150 up).
Rolled in about 1.30am this morning and today am working from home (thank goodness). Plan is a dd because tomorrow is a work conference which will be xmas party number 3 so I need that to be an ud.
So far haven’t eaten anything but have that post Chinese/ post alcohol hunger and my body is screaming for food so about to give in and have an early lunch – probably houmous and salad at about 350 cals leaving me not very much for later.
So this will be my diary as I try and lose the last bit of weight (think I’d like to lose about another 10lbs but not in any rush)– and not die from too much partying and not enough sleep LOL.
Look forward to getting to know you all

Oh by the way my official weight in day is every Monday (but confess to being a daily weigher)
