I'm baaaccckk! :wavey: Had huge problems with our internet, had friends staying, then went to visit family, then a wedding, then more friends staying, then my mum came to stay and then my 30th and then I got engaged! It's been a whirlwind month and I was doing fabulously until last weekend. Today I'm on 16st 2, so I'm down 2st 2lbs, but had a real wobble after he popped the question. I was just so happy and the diet went out the window.
I'd planned a food week for my bday meal. We stayed in as I'd have more control and made a lush tuna nicoise salad (minus potatoes for me of course) which is when he proposed! On the saturday morning I was on cloud 9 and made us eggs Florentine (our fav breakfast), although minus the muffin for me. Then we went walking all along South Bank and across London - such a lovely sunny day too. We'd been walking for about 6 hours when we, no I, I caved and we went to Nandos. I had just plain chicken and salad though. Mmmm, I swear that was the best damn Nando's I've ever had. Then I finished the evening off with a fair few mojitos. Sunday morning I decided that I'd obviously blown it so decided to just try and stay clear of carbs and then back it on Monday. Finished off the hollandaise with eggs Benedict for breakfast and then a pub meal (relatively carb free but very loaded in cals). I did ok Monday and Tuesday last week but I keep slipping towards the weekend. Funnily enough, I don't think I put myself out of ketosis, despite all the lemon and lime.
Since then, it's been really hard to get back on it. I've stayed hovering at this weight since about 24th July and I really, really want to get back on it. Mum was up last weekend and she wouldn't have understood so I settled for having a low carb small dinner Fri and Sat, but stuck to a pack or two in the day. Yesterday I was ok, but today, am struggling again. And now my cousin is coming to visit at the weekend I can see that I'll end up eating this weekend too!
So - any tips for restarting or trying to find the motivation. I've got a wedding to get slim for, but I was so determined, so strong and I just seem to have lost my willpower.
On the plus side, I've got my lovely hour glass figure back. I have curves ladies! And they're going in the right direction!
