Dear Diary

[MsJMC]

Yes i remember one year on this i was shaking with the cold , that i just came off it .
with any diet we tend to start off great then life gets in the way and we become fed up and stray .
I'm going to try today myself a low carb diet , which is no bread no potatoes, no pasta , i came on here last night while watching big brother and had a look at some food plans which i thought , YEAH, i can stick to that . Steak salad , chicken , all sorts , but going to find it strange without the carbs but i need to think beyound that .
I still have my VLCD stuff which i will add in too .
Seems like your ready to start again thats great , maybe find the 100% honky if you were 100% , keep posting in there daily .
Whats the eating plan today ? shakes soups ?

So far I have had 1 pint water, 2 cups of tea with milk from allowance and an oatmeal pack cookie.

Lunch - mushroom soup with fresh mushroom, chilli and coriander

Dinner - 100 g cooked chicken with piri piri sauce on top and mixed lettuce plus vitamin

Tea - strawberry shake and mousse mix

Drinks - 150 ml skimmed milk, 2 litres water and caramel coffees

I am going to try and stay away from coke zero as I was nearly drink 2 litres a day and that can't be good, so max I am only allowed 500 ml.

I am going to the gym lunchtimes and will do 30 mins on treadmill and 30 mins swimming.

What is piri like ?
Im looking into low carb food , looked on sclaes dropped 3 , in one day , but it always goes like this at the start .
then slows down and becomes harder thats when you want the sclaes out of the way .
Just had 3 eggs with say 10z cheese and tom , tum .
Tonight really fancy a steak but have to go shopping for that , so might be chicken .
Well done on yesterday , your feeling back in the zone !
Keep busy for the weekend and it will go by fast .

Are you on the Atkins diet? Piri piri sauce is nice but it can be quite hot.

No not Atkins , just low carbing , been looking at food ideas from sites and cutting down too . i'm down 4 since i started . its slow but i'm happy as its a life changing food choices now . All i hear on TV is about FAT people , but in a good way its drumming into us that things have to change for us brits as we are close to the usa now on being FAT .
They had a programe on TV where they went to the states and you see the coffins have to be made bigger and plots bigger and where they burn the bodies , where the body won't fit in so they have to cut it in bits to burn it , and their familes were so upset to hear this , they had something on this morning about poor people are Fat , see its just everywhere now .....
will read your thread as must catch up on here .
how are you getting on ?

 

[MsJMC]

i'm liking your food choices there , do you seem full ?
how much have you lost now ?
i took my daughrer to school there and back in all 50 mins , then thought i'll have a walk now was slipping and it was taking so long thought i'll go back home , hope the rain washes this snow away as its icey and still alot of snow about here in herts .

Hi my food varies, sometimes I have two protein meals other times I have all packs. I've now lost about 22 lbs so I am really pleased with that. I'm struggling a bit today and seem more hungry than usual. I a just trying to hold out to teatime. So far I have had a sweet porridge and a bar. Not sure what to have for tea. I might have omelet today.

Just read through your whole diary - well done for getting back on track

A word of warning about Coke Zero - it ALWAYS throws me off plan when I have too much. Most VLCDs recommend sticking to one can (300ml) a day. It can make you feel hungry if you have too much - I've noticed that your blips have occurred after you've let your amount of Coke Zero creep up.

Perhaps it's worth cutting it right down to one can a day, or just cutting it out totally? Xx

I agree I think the zero is the trigger. Had a massive blip yesterday didn't drink any zero all day only sparkling water got home and had a pint of zero and then went off the rails. To I am just having a low carb low fat day

Breakfast - sweet porridge pack

Lunch - turkey salad

Dinner - chicken salad with a small amount of feta cheese light

Snack - probably a slim and save bar?

Drink 2 litres sparkling water, caramel coffee, tea with milk from allowance.

I've fallen off the wagon big style again. Be prepared I am going to have a whinge. It's my husband's 50th on Monday., I text my stepson last week to remind him, I then phoned him yesterday to make sure he has sent a card and he said I'm gonna do it today.
