Becky Boo's 2012 Diary

[Dusty67]

Hope getting back to 100% goes well for you. I've got a meal out next week with the people who are technically my bosses (its complicated) to celebrate our successes. Not sure how I'm going to play that one yet as its a proper sit down one and not a buffet. I'll see how I feel next week.

I've also got jury service cominh up. I was supposed to be in February but got it deffered as we are due a massive inspection any time before end of July. We only get 48 hours notice (max) of the inspection, so I wouldn't be able to be here if I was on jury service and that would place massive stress on my deputies.
Any way defferal came through on Saturday and I'm on at end of Augaust, which is technically my holiday period So ging to ahve to move my holiday. Fortunately nothing booked, so no real problems there.

Good luck on the service. Have you a knidle or somethig to keep you occupied for when you're not being called?

Going grand so far today ... My breath is not bad so I reckon I have exited the land of Ketosis for at the mo hopefully I'll be back there soon!

No just my iPhone for while im waiting which I might not be allowed!! Yeah work are not pleased as its month end eek .. But the was no option ..

Plus I'll look like a crazy person if I do get put on and have to go for lunch escorted by the Garda .. Ha em so

Sit down meal is a tough on

 

[Becky.Boo]

Hit send by accident ..


Sit down meal is a tough one .. I have gone to one work do .. A restaurant lunch but I just had coffee .. I arrived a few mins late on purpose to miss the ordering .. But if it's kinda bosses you don't want to be late hmm .. And if it's more than one course that strategy cannot be used!

Day ... 1 (should have been 20!!)

Bit odd to type that ... But hey .. So back to keeping track of my thoughts .. I have not had any shakes etc today as I still feel the effects if eating yesterday .. Long may that last when I finish LT lol as I ate very little .. But I did have potato salad so the evil carbs are most likely clogging up my tummy which feels like a rock today!

23 days more yippy! I did hear my hubby accepting an invite for dinner on Feb 4th ... Hmm I do not think so!

Off to drink for water and flush out the evil food!

 

[Becky.Boo]

Day 1 .. Done!

So i guess didn't fully come out of Ketosis as I luckily haven't had any hunger pains ... But I don't have stinky breath so I'm obviously out of the fat burning zone! Boo hoo!

Going to face the music and get weighed tomorrow so I can start a new drawing a line under it and count down the next 20days at least .. And get closer to moving my ticker all the way down!

Hun..just ask the chemist for some Ketostix - they are used to check whether you are in ketosis. Mine gave me a tub when I started. TBH I havent noticed the breath change but know in the 'zone' from the wee check sticks!!
And... it showed still in on the next day after a little alcohol related 'blip' so I am swearing by them!!

Good luck for the next 29(ish) days xx

[Becky.Boo]

Thanks ladies ... Yeah I have the sticks I'm
Showing was showing light Ketosis but I've heard a lot if people say to chuck them as they aren't that good!

Well I didn't get up in time to weigh lol I was obviously enjoying my unusual late morning .. Have jury duty today ... I normally leave the house at 6 .. Left today at 9.30!

Wish me luck I'm scared .. Childish I know but court coil be scary

 

[Dusty67]

Hi Becky,

have a good day! You're doing so well!

Dusty

 

[Becky.Boo]

I didn't get called phew just out after selection .. Think I shall clean the house for the remainder of the day burn some
Calories ..

Though my hubby just got worrying news about his job ... so I'll make him a nice steak dinner to hopefully cheer him up! You never really know what life is going to bring do you ... best to roll with the punched I guess!

Oh and now I will be home to weigh in the afternoon check out the damage Sunday may have caused!

Thanks dusty your a star always checking in .. Hope ur having a good day!

 

[missgreedy]

Oh noo - I hope your hubby's job is ok!!

good luck for your weigh in becky

[Becky.Boo]

Thanks Jane .. Well it's case his job and another are being joined so he has to apply for the new one .. 2 into 1 doesn't go so we will have to wait and see! They went around culling today about 30/40 people have been made redundant .. Very scary whole teams from what I hear. We work for the same company! It's funny thought cause my team was move to an external building 6 months ago and we had all resigned out selves to be let go by Xmas .. But now the word is June .. Everyone else in the building thought they might be ok .. You never know do you.

 

[HockeyNut]

Fingers crossed with your hubbies job. You're doing really well with the diet keep up the fantastic work.

 

[Becky.Boo]

So day 3 (22 I suppose)

Been crazy busy so far this week with jury duty and month end at work haven't had a moment .. Good in some ways but in others it's been making me crave s nice dinner with a glass of vino to chill .. Had my minty hit choc tonight as a substitute and the urge seems to have passed!

Was just about asleep 10 mins ago when my fuzzy little Persian cat decided it was bed time and climbed in with a soaking chin (soaked my forehead) to give me a good night head bump and big loud purr lol! Crazy cat!

 

[Dusty67]

Hi Becky,

My hubby's on "rolling" redundancy notice at the minute. Every time it gets to the day before he should finish, they call him up and give him another 6 weeks. I'm sure it's illegal way of doing it as he's entitled to 90 days notice. But have to keep mouth shut and just be thankful he's working!

Anyway, what I meant to say is, having the threat of redundancy hanging over you is very stressful and could easliy tip you over inot eating. But just think how much more awful (I'm. not sure that's correct grammar but ) you'd feel if you also blew your diet.

Keep on Becky, you're doing so well!

 

[Becky.Boo]

Thanks Dusty,

Good to know we are not alone .. Have to say he would nearly be happier if they let him go cause the new role would be hell .. But you have to play the game and wait and see what the powers that be want. And to be honest he isn't happy there any more and the mortgage is insured and he would get a good redundancy package .. So we can get by.

That's awful then messing your hubby around .. But they have everyone by the "feel look to have a job" quote no matter how awful they treat you! People just have to stick it out. Ahh

Day 4. (23)

My work day was grand I was downing the water and I'm even finding my system is getting used to it as I'm not dashing to the loo as often! Had my vanilla shake with coffee for 11'z and then my flapjack at 3 with a huge mug of black tea .. Was super busy didn't get to take brekki or lunch!

We went to visit my parents for my dads bday (60 gee lol) this evening had a lovely chat and my hubby and them had some cake/tarts and a cupa .. Was not in least upset had a lovely bottle of fancy sparkling water while I was there .. Got home though at 10 and started to throw together a quick lunch for my hubby tomorrow ... I freaked out when I opened a packet of ham to make a quick sandwich on lovely fresh baker brown bread the smell ... Oh god I was so close to eating a slice .. I have not had that urge at all before on this .. And ham I wouldnt usually thank you for! Weird .. So I've hightailed it straight to bed

Night all! Hope ye all have a nice Friday!

 

[Dusty67]

Sounds like you're doing really well Becky. Avoiding birthday cake is an admirable achievement.


Have you finished jury service now? Two of my staff have been called to give evidence in a court case soon. They are bit scared to be honest.

 

[Becky.Boo]

I was having a miserable day yesterday and today .. So walking past the chemist today I popped in to discuss refeed as an option .. So i weighed in while there and I was down 3 lbs more!! Delighted thats 1st 7lbs in 25 days .. But I've pretty much decided now to refeed on Tuesday ..

Just ready to move on to a healthy eating plan to lose a further 2stone. Think I've settled on refeeding for a week and 2 days .. And then heading to slimming world!

I'll still be about here for the next 2weeks approx to keep up with how the refeed/transition is going!

Everyone on here has been fab .. The support has been amazing ..

Happy to say it wasn't the direct not eating thing making me miserable more the constant cold .. And as my hubby pointed out my bad mood! He has been very supportive and was getting worried! But now I have the weight off about deciding I am happy!

I am a wee bit sad and ashamed I didn't close out to valentines day like a had promised myself! But I have now swore to myself I will never get back to this weight again! And promised to my hubby to stop all this yoyo dieting and make final life changes!
