Jenni's diary: Given up chocolate!

[jennikay]

It's for the water! It's just not right when you're drinking clear 'summer fruits' water
That and jelly :drool:

 

[Less Rotund One]

Ah, I see - clever....

 

[jennikay]

OK, so, day 2 is almost over - still have a shake left, just had my second one

I had bouillon last night - rather too much, oops but I made up for it with an extra 1.5L of water so I'm sure all is well.

Today, had a tiny nibble of cheese but I'm OK with that. Had 3.5L water so far and shall try for 5L again, same as yesterday. I'm really surprised how well the water's going down, even without water flavourings

Went to the bar this evening with the rifle club, I sat there very saintlike with my water and even resisted the nachos placed in front of me I'm VERY good at resisting carbs, just not so great at protein or 'allowed' stuff.

Still, I'm not going majorly off plan and it jsut makes it bearable I don't plan it, but I'm sensible about it too. It's not like binging on a loaf of bread, it's nibbling at some cheese and even then I barely had any (we're talking 2 gratings!) because cheese has too much in the way of carbs as far as I'm concerned.

Last time I turned down a chicken kebab because I considered 2g of carbs to be too much look at me!

Anyway, ramble over. I'm still waiting for my stomach to register that I've eaten that shake!

 

[mrsm2007]

hope your stomach catches up soon hun

Hi Hun

Well done on completing day 2 and good luck, I'm sure you'll get to where you want to be by Xmas xx

I think it's perfectly acceptable to cheat a tiny bit if won't knock you out of ketosis. If it makes it more bearable you're more likely to last out in the long run and I seriously doubt it'll do your weight loss any harm. I mean Atkins works with cheese and chicken etc.

 

[jennikay]

Yeah, that's the way I see it. Last time I ate two hotdogs, and I'm sure the collective calories and carbs of a few nibbles will be less than that and I still managed to lose 7lbs

And I'm sure I'm drinking more than I did last time too. Hoping for a good loss this week!

Day 3 today - think ketosis must be kicking in because I have such a massive grin on my face for NO reason feeling very pleased with myself for some reason, haha. Not complaining!

 

[jennikay]

I am positively glowing today lovely.

Just had a black coffee, was craving something a little more than water

Really need to go have my last shake but can't be bothered shall go in a bit.

 

[mrsm2007]

Hey Jenni, first few days over with now so your off to a flying start

 

[jennikay]

Well, somehow it's 2pm and I'm not particularly hungry. The K fairy has definitely paid a visit - lovely! Going to NOT break it as (I imagine) it's harder to get BACK into than to GET into in the first place.

Sat looking at my water bottle. Dunno if I'll get 5L down me today (icky icky train toilets, yuck :yuk but I shall still try.
I have my first 'trial' tonight - it's BOGOF night at Jon's union and everyone always gets pretty wasted. I shan't touch a drop! Water all the way for me, though I may have a cheeky coke zero IF they have it in bottles - not draught.

It's amazing how untempted I am. Apart from those little nibbles and the bouillon, I've been saintlike! Suppose I've got the determination this time.
I'm meeting with my mum for a concert next Saturday and he suggested going out for lunch beforehand - I protested that the cheapest train got in half an hour before the performance so I'd eat on the train - phew, disaster averted. She's still saying to go for a coffee in between performances - suppose I'll have a lovely black americano and I'll *have* to take a chicken salad for tea otherwise she'll be all 'why aren't you eating?'

NOT telling her. Waiting for her/my dads faces when I turn up 2 stone lighter

Well done on making it to Ketosis and sounding so very cheerful about the whole thing - you are going to be fine sticking with this till you get to your goal.

you seem to be planning ahead on how to deal with different situations which is always good - more likely to stay with it.

5Litres of water I thought getting 3 or 4 down was a major triumph.....brilliant. xx

 

[jennikay]

Yup... I've had 4.5L today and I'm feeling a lil bit thirsty

So, it's the long awaited first WI tomorrow (today ) and I'm hoping for 7lbs, that would take me nicely into the 10s. I've been drooling over the recipes in the Cambridge book today oh dear!
I'll probably make Saturday my starting day for SS+, might as well.

Seriously cannot wait for my WI - hopefully it'll be as good as I expect should really be off to bed, I have 9am lectures!

xx

I hope your weigh in is a good one my dear and that it reflects your saint like ways xxx

 

[jennikay]

Heh, 'saint like' maybe not, but 'pretty good' I suppose

There has been SO MUCH PIZZA floating around the past few days, that's the one thing I don't miss about conventional student life dieting is EASY at Imperial, but if I had to live at Staffs I don't think I could

We went to the union tonight for pool and drinks (me with my water and a black coffee) and the pizza buffet was on I ate a few bits of pepperoni but completely resisted actual pizza and even the cheese so not bad overall.

The fire alarm went off FOUR time on Friday night 3am, 5am, 6am, 7am slept in until 2pm on Saturday and midday Sunday so it's 2am and I'm not tired! Sigh.

 

[*Saski*]

I loved Uni soo much and would love to go back to halls except for those blinking fire alarms. You poor thing. I hope they don't keep you up all through the night. Well done on being so restrained with the pizza. Good work you. x x x

 

[HopeSprings]

Hey babe, found you!

Looking forward to reading about your weigh in, good luck!!! xx

 

[lydia150970]

Good luck with the weigh in hun, can't wait to hear how you got on!

 

[jennikay]

8lbs! I'm pretty pleased with that
I reckon it's all that water, but my CDC thinks I should cut down a bit so I'm going to try 4L a day now.

I have water flavouring (summer berry) so I shall make myself some jelly sometime this week mmmm.

It's certainly made me more determined to stay on track, anyway - I had bought myself a can of coke zero to celebrate but don't really fancy it now

 

[Less Rotund One]

Fabulous and well done for resisting the pizza. You are doing so well. xx

 

[omnomnom]

8lbs!! Well done! That makes me really want to do it but I can't afford it and I probably wouldn't be able to stay on it for more than a couple of weeks, then put the weight back on Can you see a difference in your body or clothes yet?
