Angekins - New Year=New Me

[trudyc]

So excited to read your weight loss - hope you have a great first week on cruise. Glad you are so motivated - it can be tough at times but as long as you don't let yourself get hungry and plan it is usually a breeze! Good luck this week! x

Thanks for all the good wishes, I still can't believe it! Just keeping everything crossed that it still keeps working now I'm off attack. I'm sticking to the diet 100% & can honestly say it's the first time I can claim that!

Thankfully slept really well last night and felt much better today. Did a big shop and stocked up on everything, now have menus planned for the next 2 weeks. Even managed to walk down the choccy aisle without putting anything into the trolley - major achievement!!

 

[trudyc]

Can you imagine walking down the choc aisle when on a diet before - would have been perfect excuse to pile it all in the trolley - I amaze myself atm. Just buying my son a cake at a cafe and not being tempted to steal it off him is unheard of- even when he says he has had enough and there is half left I haven't stolen it!! I think I have been kidnapped by aliens and they have replaced me with a person who has willpower! LOL. Fingers crossed for weigh in on Monday - you should see another good loss I would think. xxx

 

[Angekins13]

Oh trudyc what you said is so true! Normally when shopping on a diet things would just 'appear' in the trolley and obviously once paid for and at home had to be eaten and down the slippery slope I would once again go! This time I haven't even been tempted once, a first for me and long may it continue.

[trudyc]

Another great day I see - your menus are impressive - I keep saying it but they are. I am someone who tends to eat the same day in and day out - I really need to get my butt into gear and try other things. I did cook Lady Mahaylas creamy salmon tonight and it was AMAZING totally delicious and one I would cook for a dinner party any day!!!! Delicious. Hope you have a great weekend and well done again for avoiding the choc aisle!!! x

 

[Angekins13]

Thanks trudyc, I write out a menu at the start of the week and try to stick to it. I knew that this diet would be challenging because I don't eat fish of any kind and I know I won't stick to it if it's just chicken or beef, chicken or beef etc, so I've tried to do a few different things. The recipe thread on here is great for ideas. Anyway today:

L - Ham & cottage cheese

I know I'm sticking to the diet 100% (first time for everything!) so hopefully will keep going onwards and downwards!

 

[trudyc]

It will don't worry Angekins, another pound or so is great and I bet all your clothes are feeling looser??? I tend to hit a rhythm of loosing a lot one week and not a lot the next and you may be the same. YOu have done soooo well to stick to it and believe me it gets easier and easier as the weeks go by and will very soon become a way of life and you will revel in the lack of dependency you have on carbs and sugar. The very fact I can serve my son toast, a cake, choc, ice cream and not even think about wanting it is a real revelation to me and I still get a thrill every time I achieve it!!! Keep going girl x

 

[Angekins13]

Thanks trudyc for the encouragement, I'm determined to make this work and at least this time I KNOW I haven't cheated, which would usually have happened! So if I keep sticking to the diet then I'm sure the scales will keep heading in the right direction, fingers crossed anyway!
