2021 Lockdown Lipotrimers

I'm struggling..I think I might just eat healthy this week and start again after camping xxx

Aww bless you, it is so tough.

It’s your decision of course but I do think that might be a better option for you as you’ll just get back into Ketosis before you go and then you’ll be out of Ketosis when you’re away camping. Unless you’re planning on doing the TFR throughout of course!

Sharing the refeed plan in case you need any help or ideas on meals; https://www2.lipotrim.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Lipotrim-Pharmacy-Refeeding-Information-2.pdf

Be kind to yourself and don’t beat yourself up or feel any guilt ❤️ We’ve all had our slip ups.
 
Yes I’ve heard of Peliton, it sounds really good.

I use the treadmills in my gym, which have inbuilt screens so I get to watch a film whilst stomping along which is great as I’d probably be bored otherwise 😂

I also enjoy listening to podcasts and music, but tend to listen to those if I’m going for a walk outside, it’s so nice to just switch Ye

Squeeze, you could always try just replacing 1 shake, damage limitation, then keep the rest of the meals as close to keto as possible. Just so you don't undo the work you have done. x
 
Hi yes I'm ok thank you
I'm having two shakes and a small meal till I go camping then back on it properly from tusday morning xc

Glad you’re okay ☺️

That sounds like a good plan, like Jess said you don’t want to undo all your efforts so far. It’s a good compromise as you can enjoy your time away camping and have some food with your family before restarting TFR son Tuesday.

Where are you going camping? I love camping 😍

I’ve not been there but I’ve been to other places in Wales which are lovely.

Wow 33 years! ☺️ I hope you have a wonderful time ☺️

Are you in a tent or caravan?
 
Sounds fabulous! Trust me to start working as restrictions ease off around the world!
 
Oh Jess 🙈 What is it like in Luxembourg in regard to restrictions?

How has your new job been this week? x
Gembino, restrictions have been a lot less than most countries. We have a lot of cross border workers that travel in from France, Belgium and Germany, it has been impossible to close the borders fully, alot of these workers work in health care. We had one full lock down at the very beginning of the outbreak where everything shut down, we could still go out to exercise (unlimited), so we spent a lot of days hiking and biking in the forest which I live less than 100mtrs from. (You had to walk in your local area), from my local forest I could walk for miles in all directions. Last summer I spent a lot of time at the outdoor lakes (some of which have outdoor bars and eating facilities), so although the swimming pools were closed, my little girl could swim in the lakes. We went out on the Kayak and enjoyed great family days. The shops and restaurants closed for a while, so we did bbq at home instead. Full lock down did not last long. The shops soon opened. The restos have been the hardest hit, they have only just opened recently to indoor trade, though they have not been closed the entire time. Everything has pretty much gone on as normal with masks and number restrictions. I have travelled to Switzerland, Dordogne, and Catalonia during this time (Driving and staying in campsites in exclusive accommodation), but friends we were meeting from UK had to cancel due to their lock downs. Our Government supported all the traders who could not work, then gave every adult in Luxembourg a free 50 euros hotel voucher to spend in the hotel and resto trade. I used mine in a place called Remerchen and spent time walking around a nature reserve, outdoor swimming and relaxing! (Whilst my little one was at a language camp for a week). We have been testing every resident in Luxembourg since the very beginning, we are called regularly. Now we have rapid tests in schools and restaurants to test before entering. Schools were only closed at first lock down and only for a very short time. For me, the hardest part has not being able to travel to the UK because of their restrictions, I have not seen 2 of my children, my Mother or my siblings for more than a year. But I am very grateful to have been able to live a pretty much normal life in all other respects.

RE work, it is going really well! I am on a late shift again today. I am working for the Ministry of Health, helping out in the vaccines centres. I am working in French, having just recently obtained my licence to practice here. It is part of the criteria for getting the licence, to get to a language level deemed fluent (B2). Prior to this I have helped out the school nurses in an English speaking school. It is going great, I am really enjoying it and the fast pace (ex A&E nurse), just so happy to be able to do something useful with my skills during the pandemic. I felt they were not being utilised where they could have been in the UK for example.

Oh gosh yes, very different to the UK.

I am sorry you’ve not seen your family for a year 😔 Hopefully you will get to see them soon ❤️

That’s the biggest thing I’ve struggled with over lockdown, not being able to see my loved ones, especially my Nan and Grandad and little nieces and nephews ❤️

I admire you Jess ❤️
 
So I have two weeks remaining on Lipotrim TFR, then a week of refeed.

I will hopefully be back around 9st 7lb where I feel a bit more comfortable in myself.

In an ideal world I’d keep going on Lipotrim TFR to get down to 9st but I’ve got some social engagements coming up and, after the year we’ve had I’m going to make the most of them 💕 With my gym back open I can have my balance again, enjoying what I’d like and working some of it off in the gym ☺️ I’ll keep myself in check, being mindful of calories and incorporate 5:2.

One reality check I’ve had is weight is important from a health perspective but happiness is also important and I’m going to try and stop being so self critical and be kind to myself and love myself more ❤️

Thank you Gembino! I am counting down the weeks now! Thank Goodness for technology that allows us to facetime etc! Hope you get to see yours soon too!

WOW! 9st 7, that is amazing! Of course you should enjoy some time socialising now! Lipotrim is always there to be able to use as a replacement for individual meals even if not total food replacement should you need to. I know it is not meant for that, but the odd shake to balance out the calories occasionally would not hurt. Like you said, you can also work out at the gym, and you will have more energy to do so. So many people this year, including myself are working on self love, I think this whole situation has taught us to appreciate our lives, our bodies and be grateful for what we have and appreciate more the things we didn't in the past. Hope the next two weeks go smoothly, bet you are counting down the days!! How exciting! 5:2 is great, I love intermittent fasting! I use fastic app for that which is great. I just use the free version to record fasts.
