Step 1 Sole Source Day 1 again, 6st off but 6st on !

Evening all, what a manic day as usual, work 11 to 5 then straight to the local retail park for 3 stores to collect things I had on order. Straight home to empty the kitchen as the decorators are finally here tomorrow, just got the blinds in the washing machine and still on the go :-(

My kitchen is a bomb site, but not half as bad as the lounge :-(

Can't wait to get things back to normal.

I think mentally when things are chaos our minds can be a bit messed up, thankfully I'm still very focused :)
Started 8 weeks ago and my only issue is I should have started sooner lol

My Dec goal of being in the 13's is going to be touch and go but time shall tell.

Hope everyone has had a good start to the week x x

14 days before the madness begins :)

Your kitchen is so smart! Makes mine look a shambles! I know what you mean about tidy mind/tidy home - Usually I would just walk out the house in the morning for work, but have now taken to making sure the dishwasher is on, wiping over the sides etc. I like to come back and it look nice!

Have a great one today - i'm sure you'll be exhausted from all the moving stuff about. Can't wait to see the new colour - grey is going to look fab.

Oh my lord, hi hunni.
I hadn't realised you were on here . . . . .

Off to see if you have a diary so I can stalk you :)
 
Evening all,what a manic day but the kitchen is done and I love it :)

Not as dark as I had thought and better in real life, table assembled tomorrow.

Not sure who had theirs done a few weeks ago ( I have a awful memory )
I'm sure it was Mulberry ? You inspired me to go for a change from cream so thank you :)

Should lighten it even more with the light wood :)

Just had my 3rd product, a choc mint bar slightly warmed in the microwave, not as nice warmed as I had thought. Will stick to traditional methods as every tweek I try isn't as nice as I envisaged lol.

4.5 litres of water and praying those pesky scales drop soon,

I so wanted to be in the 13's by Dec so it's cutting it fine. What will be will be but I have so many planned events I wanted to be there so I don't feel as bad with a small gain in Dec. Either way I know from Jan to April 7th I will have drop after drop after drop so it's not the end if the world :)
Hope everyone has had a good day x
 
I did mine a few weeks ago- glad it inspired you :) and yes one wall was mulberry

I couldn't think who it was but you my dear inspired me to go for something a little different and I'm so pleased I did :)

I knew it was Mulberry, it's not something one would forget lol :) x x x
 
Morning all,


Ready for another day at work but wanted to share a small ( very small ) victory on the scales this morning :)

Not a massive drop but fingers crossed for a bit more by Mondays weigh in . . . . . I know it's still agrees to Monday but I tend to stick or have a small drop then a bigger one a few weeks later so I never know how my losses will work. I never lose faith as unless I have something planned I'm always 100% so I know the drops will come at some point.

Just wanted to share as its amazing how the smallest lass can make you feel so much better at the start of the day :)

Hope everyone has a good one x x x
 
Amazing stuff - a little loss is enough to spur you on to have a good day.

Kitchen looks FABULOUS! Makes mine look very drab and dreary - you must be so pleased - and to have it all finished before Christmas too.

Have a great day,

xx
 
Amazing Kat , BTW your kitchen looks so fresh , the grey looks good too . Sometimes its a risk to step into colours i did a big mistake in my bedroom , i did a gloss of a dark red and hate it , still got to sort it a year on .
your doing so well
 
image.jpgThe mulberry wall isn't as bad as it sounds- honest! The sofa is sticking out because the wall behind it was still wet!

And im really pleased you did it- your kitchen looks amazing and the grey works so well

How can anything Mulberry sound bad ?

I think it sounded fab after all that was what inspired me, looks very cozy :) x x
 
Evening all

day. . . . . Yip I've lost count lol

Anyway another SS day and I'm so in the zone it's unreal, I have until Dec 1st to get into the 13's ( for my mini goal ) and I will do everything I can to get there. 4.5 litres of water today and my 3 products.

Nothing much to log just plodding along and getting on with it, as we all know its a no brainer, 3 products, lots of water and the drops will come :) fingers crossed they come before 1 Dec lol.

Feeling a bit tired this evening, got a office / crew day tomorrow so fingers crossed I can get as much water down as possible. A friend brought me my favourite Lemon drizzle cake from Betty's last week but I'm taking it into work tomorrow to share / give to everyone as I certainly won't eat it ( very nice gesture as its my favourite but no way will I ruin my goals for cake )

Hope everyone has had a good day, will catch up as soon as I have a bit more time x x x x
 
Morning everyone, another small drop on the scales this morning, non official weigh in on Monday ( see CDC every 4 weeks ) blooming typical the drops happen after a STS but at least I know I won't have a STS on a Monday :)

Off to work in a bit, green tea and chocolate tetra to start my day today, not many diets you can have chocolate at any time of day it night :) how lucky are we !

Here's to another 100% day x x x
 
Have a great day today - taking the cake into work is a fab idea - removing the temptation (not that you're tempted anyhow, you incredible one!)

This week, I feel like i've been all over the place, and I have a feeling my WI isn't going to be too positive as a result - getting my head around that early so i'm not too disappointed...can you tell i'm not feeling great? Haha.

xx
 
Have a great day! Keep those losses coming even small ones because they sooo make a difference in getting you though the day and of course they all add up!
 
Evening all,


Another 100% SS day, not at work until Tue now so no issues for the next few days, I find it so much easier at home especially for my water intake :) JUST managed my 4 litre today

Today was fine and I did manage to gift my cake from Betty's ( bit gutted as it is my ultimate favourite cake but also very proud that I've had it since Sat and it wasn't enough to topple me )

I was back on the scales at work today, not just to get weighed but on Sat I hadn't realised it does BP and heart rate etc. . . .
Small drop in weight from Sat, BP = 75 over 90, heart rate was 85bpm so both of those are fine, I would quite like my cholesterol checked but we only get that at work once a year and we may not get the bupa nurse now we have these nifty scales lol.

Tomorrow is a full on housework day so fingers crossed I may just drop a few lbs whilst doing the chores, Sat I will get anything done i don't get done tomorrow then Sunday I plan to wrap the Xmas prezzies. It never all goes to plan as our house is always so busy and I get side tracked usually left holding my daughters baby or something else comes up but that's my plan.

Only 11 small days until 1 Dec and my trip to Amsterdam with Hubby, can't blooming wait. It will just be nice to have some chill time just the two of us and a break is always good. I'm quite prepared for this one and will do SS plus it will be 10 weeks on SS so I deserve a small treat, plenty of choices in the restaurant and NO carbs for me ! A few days later we travel down to High Wycombe for 2 nights for a friends 40th then straight up for a night in Edinburgh, and I want to feel good so won't go wild in Amsterdam or it will ruin how I feel for the party if that makes sense. Home 2 days then away to see my dear friends in Glasgow its a overnight visit but I will be SS , another 2 days later and I have a drinky day in Edinburgh with friends, and back on track for 3 days until my next Amsterdam trip with my best friend when I will let my hair down a little. I then have just under a week until Xmas . . . . As you can see Dec is off plan as much as its on plan. It's all about damage limitation so I am hand on heart planning to be as good as I possibly can, I just hope my will power lasts.

I know I'm waffling again but my mind now gets like a washing machine and I start to panic about the events, I would usually sabotage myself now by thinking I'm going to ruin it so why bother BUT I'm not going to ruin it, I've planned these things and will get straight back on it, I'm telling myself I'm not stopping, I'm not throwing in the towel, I'm just having a few social events / trips away and I still have enough time to get to goal by April 7th for The Dominican ( 138 days )

I know it may sound stupid but I like to have lots of goals and unlike 2012 I lost weight for my wedding and once it was over I didn't " need " to stick to it but this time I want to be slim forever, my big aim for next year is to get to the Cambridge convention ! I'm not saying I will be slimmer of the year but I want to be there to celebrate with everyone and to mix with like minded people who all have had a similar journey !

Today I had my new size 16 black " skinny " jeans on. I don't feel or look a 16 so they may be a generous fit but it made my day as my daughter said they looked to baggy :) I may sort my clothes over the next few days as I am struggling more and more to find things that fit without looking to big. When I'm bigger I like things to be even bigger so now most of my blouses etc just look ridiculous rather than floaty lol.
Once Xmas is out of the way I'm going to find a bikini for the Dominican and that will be my motivation, nothing skimpy as after 3 children and being the wrong side of 40 I will never ever have a flat tight tummy but I do know I won't look silly nor out of place and I can't wait ! !

Going to bed a happy Kat this evening, days like this I love CWP and I get excited by the fast changes.

Hope everyone has had a fab on plan day :)

Ps only downside today . . . . . I currently have TWO hot water bottles as I'm freezing :-(
 
Doing great and I love reading your posts! Have a nice cosy day today knowing you are fully in ketosis! Making how cold the big K can make you!
