Thanks Rebeckah


Soooo.... Day 2 almost over and *drumroll* 100% Woohoooo!


Breakfast:
crispy vanilla shake' made in to a pudding, although I put very little water in so I was really thick and blaming like! Lush!



Lunch:
milk chocolate truffa.

Well, I had this with a cup of tea... Couldn't quite believe it! when I first opened it I was definitely a bit meh at the size (just under a penguin I'd say) and at first bite the texture put me off (I think I was expecting a slim fast type snack bar/boots low fat one) but OH MY GOSH it is amazing! Tastes like a chocolate brownie... And the size felt 'just enough' if that makes sense.

Definitely glad I purchased a whole 14 of these! Teehee!

Dinner:

100g tuna (I had this about 5, then I went swimming) I've just got back and I had a meal pack - macaroni cheese - with my allowed 200g of veg (brocoli and cauliflower)

The meal pack was super watery and thought I was going to be disappointed ... But after I'd let it for a while it actually thickened up a little and I had it mixed in with the cauliflower. Yum yum!

With a class of coke zero and chugging down the water!

Feeling very proud for having for through today! I know it's only day 2 but it feels different this week! Mind is in the zone, head is in the game! Wooo!

Lost 4lbs since yesterday too! So I'm officially back were I was last Thursdy.... So not going to weigh in again now 'till Thurs

Hope everyone else is doing great!!!

Well, I go to slimming world )I convinced my friend to join with me - so I still go with her for the WI, and image therapy - find it really motivates me) on a Thursday! So will be getting weighed then!
Went down to 16:07 last thurs (HW 18:11, started S&S at 16:11) butttt I cheated last week and was back up to 16:12 this Monday (grrr) but this afternoon I was 16:07.5 again,,, so maybe it was just a lot of water weight...

Sooo my officially re-start was Monday so that should be my WI but will be getting weighed on Thuradays,.. Ha does that make sense?

 

[LucyNewMum]

lol yeah makes sense thats good -those few lbs dropped straight back off then, so you'll still be lower than last week

well done on your previous weight loss btw x

Eeeek Day 3 and I am super super hungry *shall.not.cave* come on ketosis where are you?!


I'm waiting till half ten for my shake.... Lol stretching it out! x

 

[Skinny Sia]

Stretching it out is the best thing! I think I wrote on ur other diary. Oopsie! Have a fab day today doll xx

 

[sliminthecity]

Good luck for today( day 3 has always been hardest for me). Make sure you have plenty to keep you busy today so you won't think about food as much

You know when you are most likely to snack( for me it's the evening) so try and time your packs wisely

When you feel hungry have a cup of tea or glass of water or something to make you feel full for a bit longer.

This diet( as with any diet) is mind over matter. You really want to do it then you will

 

[Ela ine]

Ha I agree Sia!


So, day 3 and I am HUNGRY!

Things I have done to stop me eating:

- Hoovered the entire house
- Watched toy story with my 2 year old nephew
- had a bath (mmmm radox)
- painted my nails
- cleaned out the drawers
- arranged my DVDs in to alphabetical/genre order (OCD much!!)
- filed all bills and paperwork

Wish it wasn't raining so I could go out!!!

Will not cave today. Will not. Just need to get past day 3/4 and ketosis should kick on right? Right! Well.... I hope so :-(


Food for today... Well planned!

In addition to lots of water and green tea (already on cup 6!)

Brunch: (11:30am) white choc and lemon bar (omnomnom can't believe how tasty these are!!!!! Wanted to try one so I didn't eat all the truffa at once but yum is the only verdict!)

Dinner: 5:30 (100g chicken, 200g veg (stir fry or brocoli & mushrooms - haven't decided yet) and a pack of either spicy spaghetti or spaghetti bolognaise

Dessert: 7pm strawberry shake with ICE!

Lol! So thats three packs and a shake. Just crossing my fingers that I don't cheat >.< hungriest I've been all week!!!

Thank you <3

I totally agree, I seem to be fine in the mornings (ironic as on other diets I'm always hungry when I wake up) so trying to last as long as possible before a shake/bar and then have my dinner and obviously have a pack left.

I know it's evenings for me and emotional/boredom eating.

Just seems boredom eating is far easier to combat than the other. Meh.

Oh well, it will be worth it! Keep focusing on where I want to be/will be in just 12 short weeks... Although I honestly can't imagine myself 'slim' if that makes sense!

The last 6 months have been hellish and I'm looking forward to brighter more positive times! Definitely hope my self esteem increases as my butt decreases!

 

[LucyNewMum]

hiya hope todays going well

totally agree about stretching out packs. i have my first midday, second about 4/5, dinner bout 7/8 then a bar and cup of tea bout 10

it will be worth it when nice and slim, like you said; we'll ge there! x

[Ela ine]

Hi guys!
Had a weigh in at slimming world tonight (day 4)

And I have gone from 16:11 to....... 16:5.5!!! So that's 5.5lbs in 4 days! Woooo!

Very pleased

Sabotagers are out tonight.... I'm off for a night out... Wish me luck on my water (no lemon!) eeeeek!!!! xx

 

[LucyNewMum]

woop woop well done!!

have a good night out x

 

[Skinny Sia]

That's excellent!!!!

 

[Ela ine]

Hi all!

Well.... I didn't have any alcohol... Or crisps... Or takeaway on my night out. I did however have three glasses of diet coke.
Yikes!

Not sure wether or not this has/had/did/will knock/knocked me out of ketosis or not (or if I was yet in - maybe it hindered) so I'm just going to draw a line under that and carry on regardless.

Hope everyone is doing well! Hungry this morning day 5!! Time for a strawberry shake!

P s going to see batman tonight (whoooo) and then to Silverstone for the weekend. Yikes. How am I going to do this :-/

 

[RebekahR]

Don't stress the diet coke, you will be fine xxx

Take a bar to the cinema n have a zero (or smuggle one in your bag!!)

If your out and need somethin hit the protein. Be prepared, you will ne fine


Enjoy hun xxx
