Ups and Downs!
From one extreme to the other today.......
On a high, having got on the scales and found that the '14 ' that had appeared yesterday morning (14 st 13 lbs and 14 oz) had been repeated (14st 12 lbs 9 oz) - yes my scales are VERY precise (to the nearest 2 oz! ) so I always round up! I'm claiming 14st 13 today
I vowed that from this day forward, 14 would be the largest number to appear on my scales and set of for my swim.
BUT .......I forgot to allow for the fact that the clocks had gone back and that therefore it was an extra hour since last night's hot choc. I normally swim before my 'breakfast' shake on a Sunday with no probs. But that extra hour made a heck of a difference and I almost passed out in the shower!
The lady in the next cubicle called a first aider because I had slumped against the partition and the next thing I knew I was being bundled out into the changing room and being tempted with offers of sugary drinks........ Nooooooooooooooo!
Bless them, they were very kind but, oh! What a temptation!
I clung on and managed to convince them that I was fine......I did recover very quickly. So I'm pleased to report that I'm still 100% but phew! .....it was close.
What a berk! Lesson learned! I will have half of my vanilla shake before I swim in future and save the rest for my latte when I get home

Change of plan
Thanks girls, I'm absolutely fine now! Just feeling a bit foolish and ever so slightly miffed that I didn't manage to faint poolside and into the arms of the hunky lifeguard
I spoke to the Cambridge diet counsellor, Nicki, yesterday evening and, after a good deal of umming and ahing today, I've decided that I will switch to their plan in December.
I want to give LT another month because it is working so well for me (heck, I've lost a stone in the past 15 days) but I think by the end of November I'll be ready for a bit of a change; some relief from the monotony :sigh:
I know that I'm one of the lucky ones; I do actually like all 3 flavours of shake AND the soup, but OMG I'm BORED and I just want to give myself the best possible chance of staying 100% over Christmas. I think exploring the CD range (10 shake flavours, 6 soups, 3 porridges, 6 chocolate covered snack bars ) will give me the boost I need to lose the next 5 stone.
Of course I'll still subscribe to the threads on this forum because they're such a source of inspiration and motivation, but I guess I'll have to close this thread and start a new diary on the CD
forum.
So my lovely ladies..... 5 Monday LT weigh-ins to go before I switch. How much can we lose between us in that time? How many elephant penises will be lost forever and how many clothes sent to the charity shop?

What a day!
Feeling sooooooo good today after yesterday's wobble
First of all, I reached the half-way point on my weight loss journey; 5 stone gone forever :happy036:. All but 6 pounds of that has been lost on LT and with the support of the wonderful people on this forum :grouphugg:
Then, to my absolute amazement .....I ran for twenty, yes 20, minutes !!!!on the C25K programme this morning.
Hey, Lycra here I come!

Thanks hun!
For what it's worth, if ANYONE had told me as I started week 2 that by the end of week 5 I'd be able to run for 20 mins I'd have laughed in their face! :8855:
Even today, when I started the podcast and Laura said " today we're going to be running ( I love the 'we' ! ) for 20 mins non- stop" I thought I'd accidentally got the wrong week's D3!" I checked, it was right, so I thought that I'd just try and run for as long as I could and repeat the day if necessary. I was soooooo surprised that I managed it. Whoever wrote that programme was a genius!
More amazing still.....I enjoy running! I never EVER in my wildest dreams (and believe me, I've had some wild ones
) everthought I'd hear myself say that!
Whatever switch tripped inside my head at the beginning of August, I'm very glad it did.
Whoo hoo! What a journey!

Feeling a bit yeuch!
Think I'm coming down with something :sigh:
Number 2 child has been off school with a throat infection so, what with my drama at the pool on Sunday and feeling 'off' for the past couple of days I think the inevitable may have happened.
I'm a bit disappointed with myself because, having done the 20 mins continuous run required for WK5D3 on C25K, I struggled with all three short runs in today's WK6D1 'consolidation' !
So, I'm going to do what I promised I would, and repeat the session and I've therefore only claimed 5.25 weeks complete on my ticker rather than 5.3 :-(
To cheer myself up yesterday I made myself a new ticker and set myself a mini-goal for the end of my LT journey - 6 stone off!
Challenging but do-able I think ! It would be so great to start CD with only 4 stone to loose! Only 4 stone! ONLY 4 stone
Hee hee. Funny how I can now say 'only'
To cheer myself up
