Bless you Lynne, and thank you for your kind words of support. Dad is being 'carefully watched' by his doctor (that's the term they actually used!) because his cancer isn't advanced enough yet for him to treat! The good side though, is that it may never get advanced enough to treat and it may even reverse somewhat. They just don't know, hence the careful watching.
I wasn't sure what/how to keep a diary, but then I thought, 'well, I ramble on enough on here as it is (and FB as you've prob noticed!) so why not put it all in one place?!' I think it helps keep you sane to get out your thoughts and fears, successes and hopes, and to be able to read them back at a later date.
I managed to almost stick to TS at a Robbie Williams concert last night! Just one mini chicken fillet and one sausage from the picnic ;-) Was quite pleased with myself. And the concert was awesome, with lots of jumping around and dancing, so I'm really hoping it worked off a few calories! I'm still not back in ketosis from my hotel spa stay, so am fighting the hunger pangs again, but I really don't mind - I enjoyed my couple of days off, and as it was paid for I ate it all, but it was always in the back of my mind, 'I shouldn't return to eating like this', so I was actually eager to get back to Exante. I find a real comfort in this diet, I can't quite put my finger on it, and I am a little concerned I'm using it as a crutch to avoid food in the real world, but I'll deal with that another day!
I just made a successful mousse, it's taken me quite a few attempts (I'm a rubbish cook!) but it was lovely in this summer heat
Wondering if I can get away with a sneaky Pimms later seeing as I'm not in ketosis yet?! It's 50/50 which side will win, my will power or my craving!
Hope you are having a lovely summers weekend too, make the most of it while it lasts! xxxxx
