Step 1 Sole Source Gemma's Journey

[Gemzo84]

Hey, how was the meal? Hope it was nice my CWPC is coming tonight, I'm nervous! I got in from work an hour ago and I can't stop eating, I think it's because I know I'm not gonna have food from Monday onwards lol.

hope you've had a good day xx

Hiya, it was lovely thanks. I had the tandoori chicken skewer starter size with a side salad but only ate the greenery lol water and a black coffee so pretty proud as I don't think I broke any Cambridge rules. We then went for a massage and facial and it was fantastic!

Hope your meeting goes well tonight try not to overdose on carbs this weekend as you will feel much worse in the first few days of soul source. Mmm I would love to try one of the new limited edition Kit Kat Chunky's lol x

So you starting on step 2 then? It's a great step your still in ketosis but are taking in those extra calories as you have a physically and mentally challenging job. Can't have you fainting And ending up a patient now you will still have great loses each week if you stick 100. It will be great!!

Did you get an official start weight taken? xx

Yes starting on step 2. she did say that if I'm off for a week at a time I can drop down to SS. I'm off for just over a week in a couple of weeks so il give myself a boost then. yeah I've read people can still lose alot

yep, my starting weight is 14 stone and .4 of a lb! lol. I'm mortified as this is the heaviest I've ever been, but I have 9 weeks til Cyprus so I'm going to stick to it as best as I can

how are you today? are you busy packing? xx

 

[Gemzo84]

I actually feel so starving today, I'm very close to picking something up and just eating it
