I am happy with today. I am clawing my way into ketosis and although picking (as i intended for a few days!) i feel like im almost there. Have guzzled water. Normally drink none. Stupidly got on scales this morning after one bloomin day, What a fanny.

Onwards!

I'm sure ketosis will kick in soon Sounds like you're doing really well - and step away from those scales!

 

[PrettyPaula]

haha i am a scale martyr! i dont let them bother me alot though really. i just laugh at myself.
thanks Rachel, how r u getting on? i dont want to eat in this heat tbh!

Today's been a good day for me (I'm a scale addict, I like to just see what's happening, but don't let it affect me I just like to know)
Managed a TS day, and joined the gym again, hurrah

 

[PrettyPaula]

YAY Rachel!!

Scales show downward movement today, and even managed a BM (something i usually struggle with!) TMI ALERT! hahaha

shake for breakfast, mini babybel, mini peperami in car, turkey/ham/beef salad from subway, BL bar for dinner and a chicken leg.

come on Ketosis... been fighting the demons today... had a gorgeous anniversary cake made for my husband in the shape of a cotton reel as its our 2 yr anniversary and presented it to him tonight. ITs utterly gorgeous and smells unreal.

He is eating some now and i have resisted. Body is crying out for actual FOOD though. Damn.

 

[cybill]

Resist that food, you can do it!
The cotton reel cake is a lovely idea to celebrate your anniversary
I'm sure ketosis will be with you soon.

 

[PrettyPaula]

i am resisting with a cup of tea and some coke zero! haha thankyou (hug)

 

[Fiestywoman]

Hang in there! Hope you don't have to wait too long until ketosis kicks in. Huge well done on resisting the cake, especially if you made it yourself, I'd find it hard not to stick my head in the bowl to lick the leftovers (and I wonder how I managed to put on so much weight as well:sigh

Day 4 - Ketosis has kicked in.

got to 5pm tonight, realised id only had my bar this morning, had another bar (i know!!) and promptly threw it up. I left it too long to eat. Balls.

Having some chicken for dinner tonight... feel the need for plain and easy to digest!

Scales being v kind to me this morning.
