Wants to be a yummy mummy
So I've ummed and aahed as to whether to do a diary.. I've just read Nic's diary though and it's been such an inspiration to me, I've decided to do one after all!
I'm doing the CD, on day 6 today, really looking forward to my first weigh in tomorrow morning!! I've decided to do the 790 plan, how you girls stick to ss I dont know, I have so much respect for you... I've found this week easier as I think I've been able to eat a meal each day, plus it's more discreet for me to get away with it at work.. I'm a midwife/nurse and the unit I work on is very close-knit.. There are often doctors in our staff room with us at breaks and everyone really knows everyone and, as much as I know it would be well meaning, I think I'll get a lot of concern from people at work over the CD.. And, in honesty, I think I would have been the same if someone else at work was doing it - I was concerned enough that my mother was doing it (which is how I heard of CD) but now I understand it a little more! So have decided, as we work 12.5 hour shifts, if I have a drink at lunchtime and some salad in the evening I'll get away with it for longer!! I'm also seeing my CDC next thurs and I'm going to get some bars too, will be even more discreet!!!
So, how have the first 6 days been?
Really good!! We got back from eurodisney the day before I started and had found it difficult to eat well while we were there, nightmare!! But, on the bright side, neither h2b or I even want to ~look~ at anything even remotely unhealthy so probably good timing!!
I've been drinking the shakes rather than having the soups, they're pretty good!! I've found out we can have half a pint of milk a day which makes the shakes taste really good, esp the chocolate one!
I'm looking forward to not needing to pee so much though!!!!
I was doing WW up until a couple of weeks ago, it was going well but slow progress... Really slow..... I was doing tons of exercise, running 20 miles a week and swimming over 300 lengths, I even ran a half marathon 4 weeks ago.. Then I slipped at work, stirred up an old knee injury and now I can bearly walk, let alone run! :sick: :help2:
At this point I panicked, really panicked... My dress, when it arrived in the shop, didn't do up by 4 inches.. It's a lace up corset back and the bridal shop has ordered me a larger panel to go under the lacing - but the rest is up to me.. I upped my running and swimming and, sure enough, the dress came in by a good inch.. But with my knee injury I was really scared as to how on earth I was going to get in my dress.. So I decided to do the CD from when I got back from france and here I am!
I now have 11 weeks until the wedding and a need to lose 3 inches... I'd love to be able to lose 2 stone - from looking at other people's amazing weight losses I think I could possibly lose even more, that would be unbelieveable.. One thing I am aware of is the time people seem to do the best is the first time they do it and dont I know that to be true.. First time at WW I did so well.. First time I cheated - well, I never got back into it as well after that.... So, for me, it's 790 or the 1000 plan all the way to the wedding! h2b is being really supportive which is great!
I next try on my dress on the 4th May, a friend of mine is coming to stay for the weekend so will be nice to see what she thinks! She's getting married three weeks after me and is making our wedding cake as a wedding present - so generous bless her! It's been wonderful having someone to share planning with! So roll on 12 days time and I can see what difference it's made, I last tried it on last friday so will be interesting!!
Any tips or comments would be so appreciated, everyone on here seems so supportive and for that I would be truly grateful!
