That's the key isn't it... stopping at one lol. The thing I like about nakd bars is the fact they are all natural with very few ingredients. I shall certainly look at making my own along the way but at the moment I can't focus past wanting to lose this weight. I want to spend as little time as possible cooking sweet stuff in my kitchen as the temptation to snack through out would be too much. However when I get to goal and can just look at maintaining my weight I shall spend more time cooking everything from scratch.
My mum rang me last night to say she had a really good low carb day and didn't feel hungry. She had bacon and eggs for brekkie, chicken soup for lunch and baked cod, broccoli and roast green peppers for tea. When I asked her is she was having any snacks she said, "Oh yes I had four minstrels."
I had to explain to my mum that sugar is also high in carbs and will make her crave more carbs something rotten, to which she replied 'Oh well it's all a learning curve... Is chocolate a total no-no then.' I have pointed her in the direction of 85% dark chocolate. Unlike me she can just have a couple of squares without going mad. Her weight isn't from the odd binge, she has just spent the last couple of years having the best of everything 'butter on thick cut toast, roasties rather than plain potato, a pudding after dinner etc. As she says 'At 70, you can't get away with eating what you would like anymore.' Mum I have news for you... you can't at 20, 30 or 40 either.
Yesterday was an okay low-carb day... followed the plan and kept busy. Bring it on Carb-Addict... today I will beat you to a pulp.

Thank you Vanwoodle... I feel positive (most of the time.) I have had a few hormonal wobbles thanks to totm but hopefully I will be able to prepare for these next month - I have started to take Evening Primrose Oil capsules on the promise they help with PMT, bloating and that general fed up and ferked off feeling I have pre-totm.
I did actually have two nakd bars yesterday (those chocolate orange ones are so rich and so moreish) how I only stopped at two I don't know. Four days to weigh in and I am so hoping for at least 2lbs... that will take me to my first stone loss. Anymore than two pounds and I shall dance naked in the street (okay maybe I won't) but I would feel like doing so. I go on holiday in just over 10 weeks... if I continue to lose 2lbs a week that would be another 20 lbs gone before my hols, I could live with that.
Tomorrow is a friend's birthday party and I am going out for an Italian meal. I shall have to ensure I stick with protein and green stuff as I want a cple of glasses of wine too (this is my first night out away from little one since she has been born - O/H is doing daddy duties) I am looking forward to it but I will miss her loads.
I had a c-section with both my children and so that tummy overhang (kanga-pouch) is my main body issue... I am looking to find exercises that will help flatten that area as I lose weight... any ideas anyone?

I had a lovely night out thanks Vanwoodle... I had such a good time I spent most of yesterday with a chronic hangover (first one in about 6 years.) I ate low carb (steak in pepper sauce and a huge salad) however I had about two bottles of wine lol.
I am not quite sure how it will affect my weight this week but I don't regret the night out, after all... you have to live it up a bit sometimes or life isn't worth living.
Today and for the next few days I will be bogged down with assignment writing for Uni so I may not be updating as much but I shall certainly be back to report my losses or gains :O on Monday's weigh in.
Have a great weekend all,
Love Samantha. x x

Sts this week ... which I can't say I am totally surprised after a drunken evening and excess carbs in the form of free flowing Nakd bars. So it is back to the grind and being really good. Just under ten weeks to my holidays... still time to lose plenty of weight and drop a couple of dress sizes.
My mother has decided not to carry on low carbing so I am back to a Saturday weigh - in. A short week for me then... just five days to drop a cple of pound and get to that golden one stone loss.
