Step 1 Sole Source Back to it...

Morning, I don't feel great today, my chest is sore & tight - I don't know if its due to the central heating being on all the time, the fact I been dehydrated in the night or what? I didn't drink a load of fluids yesterday, I had my 4 shakes the last 1 was after 10pm in bed lol, and about 3 cups of tea & 2 glasses of water. I felt like I just couldn't be bothered to drink it, but I felt my body wanted it. I woke up in the night with a dry mouth & tight chest, had a puff of my inhaler & went back to sleep. I do have asthma but only mild it always reoccurs in the winter.

I feel tired & in a cant be bothered mood - but I get like that somedays anyway. I have an underactivethyroid & think it can be related to that.

We got a few more centimetres of snow here in Birmingham last night- I have to pull myself up & get out to work in it and do some reverse psychology on myself!

On a plus side- the banana & strawberry mil shakes are lovely!

My Cambridge ball mixing flask has burst open on me twice now!! When I am shaking it the drinking lid has flew open under the pressure & I had tomato & chilli soup all over my kitchen yesterday - I had to wipe all my cupboards, tiles, floor etc down - I had gritted teeth.

Hope your tiredness & blues lift today- lets just make it to the end of the week girls - keep going ;))
 
Hi girls. I am starting day 2 today and def feel worse although it was expected. Already had a cup of tea, cup of green tea and a chocolate velvet shake. Going to potter around the house today and catch up on some tv on iPlayer whilst I sit by my SAD light and dream I am on a Caribbean beach in a cut out swimsuit :)

Haha I like your thinking!

I have tues and wed off, spent a lot of yesterday just pottering, walked the dog that sort of thing. I'm taking my daughter out after her lunch today. I need to get out in the fresh air I think. My house I'd feeling stuffy with the heating on all the time. Can't wait to be able to get the windows open and some fresh air in the house.

Kitty, take it easy, don't do to much for a few days.

Gero I always use a hand blender with mine. Are the soups nice?
 
feel lighter already

Good morning

yes indeed this morning I too was a bit light headed and felt queesey after my banana shake at 7.45am. I did the stick yesterday evening and I am in ketosis (after 38 hrs) so that has given me a boost and I feel better already.
I tried one or 2 of the soups and find they are gritty - its all shakes I have for the rest of the week however I am tempted to try the Oriental Chilli next week as it sounds nice. has anyone heard any reports about it?
I never thought about heating up the chocolate shakes - are they nice?
I am fortunate to have an ice crusher on my fridge so I just add some crush ice and cold water and shake away.
I know by the end of the week we will all be in great form so just take one day at a time and as Rachel said the key is lots of water - I too perfer sparkling to still.
the toughest time for me is making my 2 year old dinner (I work during the day) and I am constandly thinking about food its as if I am an adict and this is cold turkey (see I'm taking food again). I am dreaming like I never dreamed before I wonder is this the ketosis.

best of luck for today ladies - you will be feeling a flatter stomach by tomorrow morning

Chocolate Mint is lovely warmed in the microwave after you have mixed it and even better is warming a chocolate tetra (pre mixed in a carton from Cambridge). That really makes the best hot chocolate but I don't think you can buy the tetras until you have done 2 weeks.
 
Omg dreaming! I'm having some very vivid dreams, it's a bit freaky. I was dreaming I has met ed shearan when I woke up, hard as I tried to go back to sleep it didn't work lol. Very odd, I don't thunk he's that nice! And the night before last I was dreaming about chicken nuggets done in batter.....lol very odd!

Just had my first shake and for the first time it didn't make me gag. Now having the biggest cup I've got full of tea :) happy days. Still feeling a bit woozy tho. I'm going to check for ketosis in the morning.

Personally I didn't like the shakes warmed up. I might give it another go tho
pi work right near a cake section. I'm going to leave my purse at home tomorrow so I'm not tempted.
 
thanks

Excellent ladies

thanks for the advise, I will try the mint chocolate as I have that at home and the tetra packs would come in handy for work. Work are getting more time from me as I refuse to go the Employee Dining Room, (I work in a hotel and the food they give us is delicious) as we are out in the countryside I could go for a quick walk but not in that frame of mind yet - too hungry.
going to sip my green tea and have my strawberry shake

hope your day is going well :)

Hi Ladies, I feel much better for going out & getting some fresh air!! I think my tight sore chest this morning was the central heating- I necked 2 giant mugs of coffee, a glass of water & a yummy strawberry shake - cleaned the snow off my car and visited a few clients.

Embarrassingly had to use someone's toilet :(

I have just had another go at the plain porridge - it did make me heave on Monday, i hated it - but I doubled the water today, boiled the water let it cool for 5 mins & made it in my shaker to get the lumps out, I then put it in a bowl & microwaved for 2 minutes to thicken it up - delicious! Much better warmed and thinned out.

BUT, I see instructions referring to warm water not boiling/hot - does anyone know the reason for this as I have heated mine today?

Day 3 and very dry smelly mouth but going ok so far (touchwood)
 
Think they recommend not to boil so as you don't kill the nutrients or something. Not really sure. I can't stomach the porridge, it's an odd texture.

Ive just put a mix a mouse shake in the fridge....I didn't like that last time either but I'm going to give it another go. I've put it in a nice little glass bowl so I can pretend its like angel delight :) will let you know how it goes.

My stomach isn't as bloated today. Don't thunk I've lost much weight but maybe it's just water weight idk.

Gero what job do you do?
 
Mix a mouse was ok, it's a bit like blamonge (sp) in texture, but made a nice change actually :) can live with that!
 
No I haven't heard about the mouses either?


The day is going ok, a bit hungry but I'm over due my meal again - going to have a chicken & mushroom soup now :-/
 
I'm not 100% sure bit I think the mix a mouse stuff you mix into your shakes and it turns them into mouse so it's a bit more like a desert : ) xx
 
Mix a mouse is a little pot of powder that you add to the dry shake powder, blend with water then put in the fridge for 10 mins. It makes it into a mousse :)

hahaha my phone likes to call it mouse hahaha
 
There've been a lot of posts over the years about the best way to make

Basically, you need a bigger blender for the moose. :D ;)
