Hey folks, so I have been upping and downing for the last 5 years but I've managed to stay at 11 stones 7 (ish) lb for the last year or so!
I am determined to now sort my life out, that includes the chubby middle aged woman I have become. Being 5ft 2" I'm still overweight and need to lose another stone I reckon, so I have the Slimpod package, I own these and I know I do well with low carb, so logical me, I'm combining the 2 because I haven't felt more like myself than 13 years ago when I wrote my diary on here losing 3 and a half stone on the dukan diet. I really believe that is how we are meant to eat as human beings. But if you don't folks, then please don't come for me, that's just my opinion.
So today: 21st May 2025
Bit of a boring day food wise but getting into the swing of low carb again and trying to encourage that ketosis to kick in.
Breakfast: x2 boiled eggs. 50g ham. 30g cheddar cheese
Lunch: x2 boiled eggs. 30g cooked ham. 30g cheddar cheese.
Dinner: x2 boiled eggs. 30g cooked ham. 30g cheddar cheese.
So a bit repetitive
(not much 
) but I'm not hungry, it's now 10.16pm and I feel alright, a tiny bit of achy muscles on my right shoulder, but aside from that all good in the hood.
So what else have I been up to today?
Not much to report for day 1 to be fair, I sat and watched the documentary called "Carb Loaded" on Plex (UK) this morning whilst eating my breakfast and it kind of cemented the idea that I'm on the right path.
I know it's not going to be easy, but I do have a reason behind all of this.
So my OH got diagnosed with Prostate Cancer last month, which was a bit of a shock to us
and totally c*ap! Tbh left us both feeling a bit out of sorts and ne like Whoa we are getting old!
And my mind went back to how good I felt 13 years ago when we met, yes I was a fair bit younger, but I was also in my prime i think, because I was on the Dukan Diet and I've never felt more human than in that time period. So I need that mojo right now, my OH needs to see how good that is and join in. Well that's my thinking any way. Hopefully he will. Luckily the cancer is metastatic and tiny so we have caught it early and with Prostate cancer guys live long and fulfilling lives all whilst having it. So the treatment plan at the moment is active surveillance and in the future any treatment will be aimed at curing the cancer. So not a prognosis that is horrendous but still not something expected for him at the age of 52.
So after watching that documentary this morning, I thought I'm a little bit tired and thinking how switching from carb laden food to low carb can make you feel rubbish at first, I might as well take that nap I want and start on some self care early On, Why not? So I did.
After my sleep, I got sorted, and picked up my OH granddaughter from school, she lives with us full time, she's 5 and been with us since she was 2 so very much part of our fam-a-lam. There's 4 here in the mad-house my youngest who is 18, he's a full on nerd
of the highest order, me, OH and granddaughter.
So had a nice chilled out day.
I'm just about to sit down and start a new crochet project, very exciting! A new super soft black grey and white cardigan for myself. So watch this space. I think the crocheting will help with not wanting to pick snacky foods in the evening. I'm only looking to start it tonight, nothing major just begin because that will give me the push, I've had the wool about 2 months, I like to do this, buy everything for a new project and then take ages to actually start it!
That's me ...
So driven!
So day one complete, roll on day 2!
See ya Tomorrow folks!
Big love

and some spinach and cheese without any thickeners or anything added. Was lovely 
thanks for the comments about the OH yes it was a shock but like Torn Tranquility agreed with above its not as life limiting as it could have been. One thing that's positive from this is we have decided to put us first for a bit as we always feel guilty for swanning off and doing our own thing, not this bank holiday weekend though we have had a lovely time, I've eaten so much sea food and walked along the stunning beaches just enjoying life 
check you out!
