hi to anyone who is reading this
its very quiet to how it was back when i joined in 2006 ... i looked at the facebook group and joined one but still prefer this forum and the chance to do a diary - even if only for myself
i first did cambridge about 15 years ago i think ... this time is my fourth or fifth attempt ...not to mention periods of doing slimming world, ww, and even atkins in the meantime
anyway ..for me ..i know cambridge works and i do lose the weight. i just always make the same mistake of getting cocky when the weight comes off and not working up through the plans but just going back to my old way of eating ... lets be honest noones going to keep weight off doing that
so here i am again
i started on saturday at 13.1. i think that is my heaviest ever but not by much.
every other diet i have tried over the past however many years, i have managed to do while working as long haul cabin crew ... sometimes working up to 18 hour duty days ... the temptation of lovely food in first class or in hotels ...mini bars with pringles and m and ms on display ... the whole of my social life focused on eating and drinking with friends. i was also a carer for my dad in later years and cooking him his old fashioned full english breakfasts , meat and potato dinners and a pudding every night.
well things have changed ... i retired to care for my dad last year and then he passed away so i am in a house on my own now and no job making me work ungodly hours or putting temptation in my way. my fridge and cupboards have been emtpied of all temptation and all perishables. so i really have no excuse and no reason to fail!
so this is day 4 for me and so far so good. im doing step 1a as im 5'2". i would have usually been in ketosis by now but dont feel that i am yet.
anyway just wanted to get this down in words and to say hi to anyone whos on here and whos doing this with me.
time to put the kettle on : ) ( oh and im hoping to poop today .. i feel fine but didnt 'go' sunday or monday!)
