Liz's CD Diet to Goal

Sounding very positive Liz... wishing you all the best, and so glad new CDC is lovely, that makes all the difference. Go for it!

Yep, great with the new CDC! Mine was/is lovely and was my 3rd too! It makes all the difference doesn't it?
 
Thanks everyone. Laura that is what I've tended to do in the past I think instead of leaning on him to help me out. It's hard when you're so sensitive about an issue and feel so inadequate.

Loving the tetras. Feels weird being back on it again, but nice in a way. Can smell BF's lasagne - he's eating in dining room. Day 2 and really not wanting the smells!!!

Give it a few days and I'll be obsessed with cookery programmes again lol.

Love to you all and thanks for looking in xxx
 
Day 3, well 4 if you count Sunday as I had no carbs in preparation. Thought I was in ketosis last night because had a funny taste, but am still hungry so probably not just yet.

Had forgotten some of the more annoying side effects - weeing all night and not being able to fall asleep mainly. Also got the runs (I put that because 'that' word is one I can never spell and I can't be bothered to look it up!)

Why does everyone else get constipated and I get the opposite? My shakes are well diluted, so don't think it's the vitamins. Maybe body having a clear out.

Feeling lighter already, but not going to bother too much with weighing this time round. I'm going to try not to obsess as much and just get on with it, get it done and get on South Beach :)

Am going out Friday night to my friends Mum's. They're not big drinkers, so I'm hoping they won't have any booze in and if I get there for 7pm then no food. BF is planning her wedding, so more about that than a food and drink fest.

Had to have an extra shake last night in bed as was lying there and felt faint. Was worried after last time. Think it's because of the funny tummy, but am drinking loads of water. Wishing, as before, that I can fast forward a few months!
 
Stick with it, you know it works xx
 
Keep smiling & stay strong!

Thanks guys :)

Yes, it is weird about the loo thing! I always read these constipation posts and think 'gimme some of that!!!'

Today....terrible day, although not feeling sad, just terrible work day. I had 2 candidates on interview and another agency had 1. That 1 got it. That fee was around £14,000 to my business. Gutted. More gutted as the other candidate is also with me, but was way too qualified so I didn't send them over...then the client changed the goalposts and decided to go for more experience (without telling me).

Plus (and this is unreasonable) I am out on Friday night, so won't see boyfriend - just going to friends to talk about her wedding and staying over. Boyfriend wants to go out Saturday night and stay with friends. Normally we'd both go on the same night so that we have one night of the weekend together, but can't as have no-one to look after dog. Feeling a bit like I have nothing to look forward to whilst everyone else is excited about Easter. We're apart Friday and Saturday night and Sunday when everyone is eating roasts and chocolate I'm starving myself :(

I know I've chosen this, but I think it's the combo of crap day with everything else.

Also I interviewed 4 people today to work for me. Bearing in mind it's an Administration job, I'd expect good attention to detail. I set them all a short test - a paragraph/spot the errors in the spelling and grammar thing. One missed 16 errors, two missed 11 errors and one missed 5 errors.

These were things like 'expereinced,' 'liasing,' 'grammer' etc.
It's made me lose my faith in people!!! I feel like no-one can spell these days and it's so important to my business.

Oh well, rant over :) Should do some yoga, have a bath, stroke the animals, quit moaning, have a shake and then be thankful for work being over and going to get my hair cut and coloured tomorrow. There; feel a bit better reminding myself of nice things. Might do a separate post on what I'm happy about.
 
To make me feel better, I am happy about:

Being at home surrounded by my animals while loads of other people are still working.
Having my own company/being my own boss.
Having a lovely boyfriend.
Looking forward to seeing my best friend and her Mum.
Getting hair cut and coloured tomorrow, back to normal!!! Cannot wait.
Being in control of food and looking forward to hot choc mint shake later.
Reconnecting with a neighbour/friend earlier.
Maybe planning a work team bonding trip to Alton Towers.
 
Hugs... keep smiling, Liz.

But.....you'll have Sunday night and Monday together, as it's a bank holiday? And the wedding planning will be fun too! What about an indulgent pampering night on Saturday....candlelit bath....pedicure/manicure etc etc? You could have a lovely glass of sparkling......erm.....water?!

Its dredful that peeple cant spel and do grammur theez daiz - paw u not bein able 2 fynd enyone 2 help ewe. Hop sumwan kums along soon hoo can do the job wel. xx :D (Cor, that was hard!!)
 
Bess is just the person you are looking for...
(lol...)

LMAO - you're hired Bess!!!

I feel justified - have just given the test to my BF and he only missed 2 errors. He's a Graphic Designer!!!

So it shows the test wasn't hard. My colleague at work is giving it to her hubby and her 7 yr old!

Love the idea of a pamper night Bess. xxx
 
Big hugs Liz, but well done for turning round to look at the positives, which is a hugely positive thing to do in itself.

Agree with enjoying Sun and Mon with your boyfriend, use the gift of the extra days.

Enjoy your evening shake x
 
Thanks Wales :)

Am up early, considering I could have a lie in. I never can though - wake at the same time every day...drives BF made on weekends as he'd love to stay in bed, but I always end up waking him lol.

Am toying with the idea of going into John Lewis this morning - not normally a big fan of going shopping to the big shopping centre. However, I really fancy the idea of a red lipstick. I used to wear red when I was much younger (late teens) and felt that I could get away with it.

Have been blonde recently and prefer to keep the makeup light, but am going back dark brown today and feeling quite unsexy at the moment. I thought dark hair and a flash of red lippie might make me feel and act a bit more confident/vampy.

Have had a look on makeup alley and narrowed my choices down to 2. (Am a bit makeup obsessed. When I was younger and used to blush a lot, before my operation, I relied on it to hide behind)

Am thinking YSL Rouge Pur in Opium Red or MAC Ruby Woo. Mac I won't be able to test, but the other one I can. Part of me thinks I might just order it though - seems so tedious to have to go all the way into town just to try a lippie. I've even been searching on utube for videos of people using the colours!

Think I've just talked myself out of going to JL. Going to walk dog in a minute, then might do a bit of yoga. Have been recording yoga programmes from the telly on the Body in Balance channel which is free. Then shower, nails, off to BF's Sister for cut and colour.

Looking forward to today. Just a shame BF is working. His boss is an arse. Hope everyone has a lovely Easter xxx
 
Enjoy the cut and colour and I would def go shopping to try on al different lippies, how can you tell without looking at them. With me how lipsticks smell makes me like them less or more. You never know you might find something else to go with your new haircut - new shoes, undies?? Something else to give a bit of va va voom?

I had thought about recording that yoga channel as well - is there a particular programme you record??

Enjoy your day, even if it starts with a rainy dog walk. The dog will love you all the more for it xxx
 
Hey Wales, haven't watched any of the yoga ones as yet, but have recorded about 5. That way I can find one that I like and just do that. I also have 4 yogalates DVD's, so might dust them off!

Have caved and ordered the MAC lipstick. I'm not a big fan of going into shops and shopping TBH. Having looked at reviews and plenty of swatches online, I'm pretty confident it will match my skin tone. Am excited!

Still not moved. Going to go and take dog now though :)
 
So, let me get this right..... When BF returns on Sunday, he's going to find a dark haired, beauty pampered vamp, wearing red lippy and maybe new undies and high heels?

I hadn't noticed this as a side effect of CD before, I'll have to try again!

Happy Easter!!
 
Have a fab Easter Liz... sounds like you will!

Thanks Katy and yes, Bess, something along those lines!!!
