A little of everything!
Well, sort of. I'm going to be totally honest here. As some of you might know, I'm doing this on my own this time (no pharmacist, no-one knowing) due to family & friends thinking I've lost enough, and them HATING the diet. But I want to try and get as close to goal as possible, so am giving it a last whirl to see how I get on. I re-started Friday and did brilliant, loads of fluids, not hungry at all- thought to myself - this is a breeze!
And got home to find my Darling Hubby had organised a surprise birthday dinner & night out with some friends! Arghhh....!!!
I managed to fudge the dinner saying I'd already eaten and treated him to a chinese (which I didn't touch) which placated him a little. Then I offered to drive to the pub- he was having none of it! So I went. And had a few beers. :break_diet:
I know I 'wasted' my first day, but I didn't have half as many as I would normally, and I couldn't have done myself any harm as I wouldn't have been in ketosis yet.
Saturday morning I woke up and felt like my throat was on fire- had a sore head, and ached all over- not a hangover, but me finally getting the flu that had knocked my girls for six the previous week. On the plus side- I've had NO appetite this last few days and plenty of fluids to ease my throat. It's hard to tell if I'm nearing ketosis as my mouth tastes funny because of the sickness, but I hope so as it's been an easy (if painful!) way to get there! LOL! So I'm 'technically' on day 3 instead of day 4, but so far so good. Lunch today will be tricky as I work with my Mum, but I'm hoping she won't 'recognise' the soup from before! I've been having regular home-made soup for lunch most days, so fingers crossed she won't notice any difference?:wave_cry:
My throat is still really sore (think swallowing glass!) so I'm sipping warm (not hot!) tea to try and ease it. Its working, and keeping my tummy 'full' this cold morning!
Still planning on weighing in Friday morning...
Hope everyones weekend went okay?

Thats what I'm hoping? It'll make the pain (sore throat) worthwhile!
