Barb's Up and Down Diary

Veg soup sounds great, it is soup weather. Would miss having bread with it, but I can manage.

I'm longing to be able to look at myself in the studio mirror and think that I look good. There are full wall mirrors so you can see the whole class, invites mental comparisons naturally. I know I can't look like the teenagers, but I just want to think - OK.
 
Haven't made the soup yet, will later in the week hopefully. Had a good dd, took Ozzie for a nice walk on the downs and then came home and made my omlette. Dh and DS had a KFC, thought I could cope, but crumbs it smelt good! Had a quarter portion of chips with my omlette (6) and counted 50cals as my cal counting book says a whole portion is 194!
So, that was pretty controlled really, I enjoyed them, it was counted in and I am very pleased with myself. Expect to end the day on about 580, so very happy with that!
 
Thanks DQ, feeling really good! Can't believe over 5 weeks in and I feel so committed and confident. I am really going to do this; all I have to do is keep going, which is no problem at all. Feel really lucky to have found this plan just when I really needed it.

Love
 
Well done for having just a few chips and relishing them. Do you remember a time when a few wouldn't have been enough? I bet Ozzie enjoyed the walk, sadly my dog has bad arthritis and can't go far these days.
 
Ozzie loved his walk, he is only little so we don't do more than about 30mins; if we do he sleeps for the next 24hours! Sorry to hear about your doggies arthritis, what kind of dog is he and how old?
I was pleased with myself last night, actually the amount of chips I had totally satisfied me, pre Juddd I would have just gone on nibbling them for the sake of it. I do feel I am learning a lot at the moment and making some real changes to old habits.
UD today and I must admit I do feel hungry this morning, hayfever bad at the moment, hence up early. P'raps that walk on the Downs wasn't such a good idea!
Think I'll try going back to bed for a bit.
 
I think if you are hungry on an UD then you should eat, not stupid stuff obviously but proper food. After all we are supposed to be coming to terms with normal eating on these days, and it is starting to work I'm sure.

Cassie is a GSD cross, now twelve and a half, a good age for a dog of her size. She's on Rimadyl, which helps quite a bit, but she has a permanent limp so we stick to short strolls. It is always sad when they get older, she still enjoys life at the moment and will be coming on holiday to France with us.
 
Hey Barb,

How's it going? I did a proper DD yesterday for the 1st time in a while recently. Down 1lb this morning again. Have now lost 20% of my starting weight.

Have a great day!

Hi Anja, well done on your DD! I am on a DD today, doing Ok, out for dinner tonight with friends though which ia a bit tricky. Have said I'll drive which means I can stick to mineral water and I am going to have a salad but I feel a bit twitchy about it as I won't (obviously) be able to weigh it. I am also ina quandry because I have Fri and Sat as UDs and then Sun as DD. We have a 60th party to go to on Sunday! Help, can't decide how to handle. Really want to keep Sun as DD ready for Mondays weigh in! First time I have found myself unsure what to do and with 2 problems in one go. What do you reckon I should do?
 
Hmm, I think Saturday will have to be a DD, then the next week will be 4 DDs and 3 UDs so what you don't lose this week you will the next, swings and roundabouts. I'm in the same situation, I weigh Staurday morning but have a party Fri night so today and Fri will be UDs, just accepting that this weeks losses won't be as good, things will even out.
 
Thanks Claire and Anja, think I am goin to do ID today, UD tomorrow DD, Sat and ID Sun. I know that is essentially one DD less than normal but I will be careful on the IDs. It is weird how knowing i can't cal count properly today has put me off. Still, there's the plan, hope to stay the same then this week and forge ahead next week. Won't hurt to stay the same for one week - it's all about planning and feeling in control, which I now do!
 
Thanks Roch, sounds like you are back in the zone too!

Funny old day yesterday, should have been a proper DD but I made it an ID day as I knew i couldn't cal count properly in the evening. Anyway had a few biscuits through the day. Didn't fancy anything 'sensible', went out with friends in the evening to a local pub which does very yummy food. I chose the prawn salad, with no bread/potatoes/dressing! Drank water all evening and was very proud of myself. I reckon I maxed at 800cals, so I suppose I could still call it a DD if I wanted. Anyway, today is an UD and with weather like this I am glad it is. It sure isn't salad weather!
 
Do you feel your appetite has reduced since JUDDDing? It definitely feels diferent to me, but I can't put my finger on why. Some sweet things which I loved just don't appeal now, not all of course but odd ones.

I was going to have my two UDs yesterday and today because of a party this evening and I just don't feel like eating today. Hopefully I will by tonight, I think this will be my first ever ID then onto a DD tomorrow. Hmmm, I'll be ravenous Sunday morning, but that's OK.
 
Hi everyone, sorry I think I have been a bit quiet these last few days. Life does get in the way of Minimins sometimes! Anyway, doing OK, on an UD today as well as yesterday but not feeling very great. Don't know if I have a cold or just hayfever but feel very 'trunky' as we call it in our house and my asthma isn't great. The SIRT1 does not seem to be helping me at all, in fact I have not been affected by hayfever for the last 15 years, so why now? Very odd!
Going to try to keep the UD clas in control as we have this blinking party to go to tomorrow, which is technically a DD. Not sure how to handle it but not going to get in a state about it, particularly as I don't feel well, may not go anyway!

So, not expecting any loss this week really, don't feel I've given it my all but not bothered. Thats the thing with Juddd, there is no feeling of failure, just a looking forward to the next success when it comes along.

Hope all my Judddie Budddies have a good weekend,

Love
 
Join the club! I haven't done it properly in nearly 2 weeks!

Oh well - things can only get better! Hope you feel much better soon.

Love xxx
 
That makes three of us, I didn't lose anything this last week, only fitted in two DDs and had two UDs in a row just before weigh in - so no surprises the scales went nowhere.
Now on a DD, and will be JUDDDing this week up till Friday when we go on holiday when I shall TRY to maintain.

No problem , we can do it, it will just take a little longer.
