Sensibly losing :)
Ok, had my 3rd WI and I am 3lb off this week which is fab, 19lb off in 3 weeks and as you know I have not been 100% for a lot of it.. Had an argument with the lady seeing me as I was honest.. told her I had eaten chicken as a supplement as been up most of every night for over a week with 3 kids and due to my heavy meds with my back I cant function.. daft bat tried to tell me I had blown it 'well, as you have done that you will now be complpetely out of ketosis and not be losing anny weight, you have probably gained this week'... When I removed her head from my mouth I firmly explained that I was following advice from the LT helpine and wasnt making it up as they had advised me to do this and that ketosis is affected by touching CARBS! SHe looked SO sh!tty with me its untrue and even more so when I assured her I had still lost weight this week.. she huffed and set the scales and told me I had lost 3lb thru gritted teeth! She didnt even write in my card etc, I had to ask her to do it and even then se left the kilo column out! Mardy or wot! LOL! Anyway, I had the last laugh...!! (I didnt tell her I had been picking on the odd biccie or choc square.. but have been as sensible as I can be with it and had tiny amounts.. its not been a good week!)...
So, am chuffed with my progress, and seem to be getting on ok, I am not torturing myself and I am not allowing myself to be spaced out and feeling rough, this seems to be working for me at the moment and until my back calms down and I can reduce my morphine dose I cant see it changing much... I am asured by the helpline this is ok and that some days I can substitute a meal for a shake.. but I dont think I want to test the water on this yet as its a bit 'full-on' and much different that nicking a cube of chicken or a slice of turkey... although I am craving a grilled steak right now and have been for days!!!
Anyway, the kids are improving (all been off school/nursery for a week its been that bad, plus OH has had manflU!!!) once more and I am telling myself that from NOW I am 100% midweek and I may allow a little nibble of a weekend as this is my hardest time.. plus I think it will put me in good practice for when I finish and do my 80/20 as I plan on doing the same then.. I am not talking eating naughty stuff or allowing meals yet but I refuse to make myself feel guilty for eating something sensible...
My middle child brought home something from nursery Friday for mothers day and its unsettled me.. it was asking all about Mummy... Mummys favourite drink: milkshake, Mummys fave food: Mummy is not allowed to eat, shes on a diet..... then this morning she wanted to make me brekkie in bed for mothers day, along with the baby and eldest.. and I had to refuse.. and again I am being asked why I am not eating any food - this is not right and will not build a good food relationship.. but I also know that me being overweight wont help much either! its a toughie!!
Anyway, at least she didnt get to see me a couple of years ago as I was about 7 stone heavier and ate/boozed for England.. that WOULD have caused problems...!!! I have certainly sorted out my eatng issues since then and maintained my weight ok where I was.. hoping to get a little bit more off, maybe a stone and creep over my target and then leave it at that and see how I feel!
OOh and Cham, peanut flapjack is EWW! I have never ever bitten anything like it in my life, tasted anything like it in my life and been sooo grossed out EVER!! How on earth can you eat them??? It was that bad I wouldnt even feed it to the daughters rats!!! LOL!! SPEW!!
Hope everyones having a lovely Mothers day, its certainly a toughie here as no brekkie in bed, no meal out, no nice lunch with the parents...!! grrrr!!! Still, if we like the scales reducing I guess we cant have it all!!
Heres to being 100% from now for the next 5 days MINIMUM!!!!
