Hi everyone,
I’m in my 4[SUP]th[/SUP] week of Cambridge trying to lose 21 pounds in total with 10 gone so far. Really enjoying the results so far and the hard times in the diet are an hour here and there rather than days on end.
It’s my birthday at the end of the month. I originally said that I wasn’t going to start until after my birthday as I wanted to enjoy it but then had a word with myself thinking “I could be half way to goal by that time instead of further away if I keep eating the way I’m going” and I was right!
Anyway, I will be off plan for a lot of my birthday weekend and I told CDC from the off that this was an absolute deal breaker. I’m more than willing to sacrifice drinking on nights out etc. however my birthday is non negotiable....I live in London but originally from Glasgow and have friends down for the weekend. With one eye on this I have moved up to 810 this week and will continue next week because I don’t want to go from SS straight to eating.
The Thursday I have dinner and drinks with a friend. I thought about having jacket potato at lunch time to bring me out of ketosis. Dinner will also involve carbs and then we’ll have a few vodka and slim line tonics later.
Saturday involves rather long periods of alcohol. I have hired a canal boat from 12 to 3 and we will all take our own alcohol. I am going to drink vodka with coke zero – pre filled in a 500ml coke zero bottle. Then we will have dinner and I’ll eat what I eat paying absolutely no attention to portion sizes and finish off with a dessert (a girl only has one birthday a year).
Sunday I know I will be hungover and trying to do SS is out of the question so I thought I’d try and do the 1000 plan for that day so I can have some wholemeal toast in the morning. We are out for another dinner that evening but I’ve checked and I can have chicken salad and will stay off the booze altogether....then hopefully back on the wagon to limit damage prior to the Wednesday weigh in!
I’m just looking for people to share their opinions and experiences really. How does that lot sound? What should I do on the Friday which is in-between naughty days? My CDC said I should continue to eat carbs that day to prepare my body for alcohol. Does anyone have any input? (I am prepared for but dreading those first few days back on the wagon!!!!) x
