Crumbs!!! What a busy day here!!! Almost as busy as mine- crikey it's been manic, but I'm not going to bore you with all the details
Susan, I had a really hyper time early on, during my prep week, but I reckon it must have been when I was going into ketosis.
I really feel for you ladies, preparing your OH/children's meals; My OH pretty much makes his own (or microwaves it rather!!!) apart from I had to prepare his last night and it was rather torturous!!
I've just learned too that I'm in charge of tuck shop when we go camping next week with school :/ reckon I'm gonna have to swap that job!
Ciara, I chop the bars up too, keep them in the fridge and a little while in the freezer- makes such a difference I think.
It's funny, and I think it was Laila who mentioned it, but I'm developing this kind of 'inner dialogue' which keeps reminding me that this diet is only for a short time in my long life!!! I have 7and half stone to lose (well six and half now), so I reckon December/January is when I should be at goal- I'm aiming for 9stone. I think I was 9 stone when I was...9! So I don't know what that's going to feel like.
As I break my shakes/bars up a bit I don't tend to feel hungry at all. In fact last night I almost didn't have one. I have a full shake at lunch and 4 smaller portions of a variety throughout the day AND a veg drink in the afternoon and a jelly around teatime! It works for me, so I'm keeping to that for now, as long as it continues to reflect on the scales
I totally can't wait to shop! I can't imagine what it'll be like to go into a shop and not be depressed/restricted by size- squeezing into trousers that won't do up or cut the circulation off around me belly!!! I'm going to make sure that I wear less black trousers- and NONE WITH ELASTIC! I'm going to have a different colour for every day hehe. And shorts. I'm going to wear shorts! Oh and a dress- like those nice summer ones that show your arms and make you feel girly. That is what I'm going to do hehe.
I played a bit of tennis today with the kids during lunch and that was great- just enough to work a sweat but not long enough to tire me out- gonna play again on Thursday with my bro who coaches at the tennis club- making use of freebies. It's easier when the sun is hining to get out and about and feel good.
I had a dream last night that I ate food- not alot, but boy did I wake up feeling guilty- it was that cheese sarni that did it yesterday. At the moment I'm not craving sweet stuff as I'm getting lots of that- it's the carby bread/potatoes which I know when I finish this diet completely are things that I will have to avoid a fair bit. My CDC asked me to fill in a test and it revealed me as a 'protein' type. Oh dear, lots of meat for me!
Can you tell I have food on my brain today-I'm not hungry and haven't cheated. When I went into Morrisons earlier I walked past the strawberries and I could really smell them, I've not noticed that before. Anyone craving things they wouldn't normally want?
Anyway- it's taking me a long time to get my thoughts together this evening after my manic day, so I apologise if I cross-posted anyone lol!
Gonna grab half a shake b4 OH finishes work then a nice hot something b4 bed mmmm
