Also just had to say (in case anyone is a fan) V is on tonight!!!!!!!!!!
I would never forgive myself if someone as obsessed as me with this programme missed it.
It's on at 10pm on SciFi, now stupidly called SYFY for some strange reason.
I adored this programme when I was a kid. Diana was my favourite character, despite her being a baddie and a mouse eater. I cannot wait - highlight of my week and a perfect end to the cr*ppiest day ever

Ooh, forgot to say that I weighed myself this morning and am dead on 13 stone. So have lost 10lbs in 2 weeks, which isn't bad going considering from days 6-12 I picked every single day. All protein, but very high cal (like eating peanut butter from a jar lol! Although it was pure peanut butter without sugar or salt or any nasties)
Have been 100% for the last 3 days and feeling much more in control. Just have to keep telling myself to focus so that I can get through this asap and onto eating low G.I. for the rest of my life
Bloomin' fantastic!! Just caught up properly - well done!! x

Weighed this morning and am finally into the 12 stones. 12 stone 13.4 it was!!! So chuffed. Never thought I'd see that 12 on the scale again.
Can still so clearly remember jumping for joy at getting into the 11's and working towards the 10's so hopefully it won't take too long.
Have had some chicken today, so thinking it's going to be a SS+ day.
Had 2 shakes, so got my hot choc mint one to look forward to later tonight. BF is out tonight and I'm not going as we couldn't find anyone to look after the dog. Also didn't want to interrupt the diet really. Going to catch up on all my telly and magazines and spend time with the animals. Dog will be happy as he usually sleeps on the bed with me when I'm on my own

Aww thanks Bess. Just noticed you and I are on the exact same weight - we seem to make a habit of that I hope you're feeling okay hun - have been thinking about you
Well tonight not been great and not according to my earlier plan. I had my hot choc mint, but then was feeling sorry for myself - sorry that I'm not thin already, sorry that I have to do such a strict diet to get where I want to be and can't go out with BF and feel happy with myself.
So, I opened a bottle of wine Have had one glass and TBH knew I'd be tempted by food as soon as I had some. Was sooooo tempted to order a pizza, with some chicken bites and just go crazy. Resisted that. Then thoughts of chicken tandoori (working on the basis that it's just protein - amazing that I can make it sound like a healthy option!) Then having resisted that I thought maybe I could have some tuna pasta, but was kidding myself and gave myself a good talking to. If I have to have something, don't go with carbs and undo all my hard work. So I made some tuna on it's own flavoured with fresh chives, lemon balm and black pepper.
I had 3 mouthfuls and gave it to the dog. It wasn't as nice as I expected and I think I'm just self sabotaging. It did satisfy my urge to eat something though (and the dog was very happy - opening a can of tuna in the house is dangerous; all the animals go crazy, whining and desperate to get to it, it's a free for all!)
It's not like I'm drunk and can't resist a takeaway. I'm choosing to do this. No the wine isn't good, but am quite shocked (and pleased with myself) that I've resisted bad food when the voice in my head is screaming at me to order something.
The drink isn't good. Just so no-one worries though I won't have been in ketosis - the chicken I had earlier was chilli chicken skewers and I'll be way over on calories today to be in ketosis. I know the dangers of alcohol and ketosis
Not sure if I should be annoyed with myself for drinking or pleased I've not gone crazy with food. I think I'm a bit of both.

Up bright and early this morning (5am) when I heard 2 of my cats screeching like they were killing each other. This was not your usual play fight, more of a death match sound. Had a look out the window and there's a strange cat walking along the top of their cat run.
They're both very good jumpers and climbers so I suspect they'd jumped to the top and were trying to attack this stranger through the mesh. They're very territorial! Last time a strange female black cat wandered into our garden by mistake they started making that freakking low growling noise.
Anyway, managed to get back to sleep till about 7, then me and the dog had a bit of cuddle in bed. He's in the wars and I can't walk him at the moment. We were playing the other day with him chasing his ball and it went on concrete. He skidded over to it and took a chunk out of one of his pads. He's done it before so we try to avoid concrete and stick to grass.
Yesterday his paw was bleeding after 5 minutes going out, so we came back and I've cleaned and bandaged it. Otherwise he licks it obsessively and makes it worse. So he's housebound with only me and the cats for entertainment.
Just about to watch a film - the Changeling. BF won't be home till midday so have the house to myself. Had a hot choc shake already

Well yesterday we had a BBQ! Not very SS really is it? I think I've almost decided this time round to not be quite as strict, although I would like to lose it sooner. I do not want to get to the point where I'm hating it.
BF has heard that its' quite likely he will get offered a new job that he went for. Nothing definite yet, but the guy is calling him on Wednesday to discuss the finer details. So we wanted to celebrate this weekend. Had some steak, and some prawn and scallop kebabs, with salad and home made dressings. So no carbs and quite healthy. It was lovely.
The nice thing is that some of my clothes are starting to fit again and I am getting nearer to others. Feeling more like myself. It doesn't take long. I have our anniversary (of meeting 3 years ago!) on May 4th and we're going to go to Thorpe Park I think and then my birthday on 17th May. I don't think I'll stick to SS for those. I'm just going to make sure that if I don't I just avoid carbs.
Last time when I was on it I would have the occasional off day, but would have carbs. As I'd also like to move to a more south beach/low GI way of eating I am basically just getting used to not having bad carbs ever again.
For those people thinking of coming back to CD or SS it might help to know I've been finding it easier getting more products and having a 4th if I want it. I find if I deliberate for ages on whether to eat I start obsessing. If I have another shake or a small piece of protein the urge goes.
Oh, not sure if this will help anyone, but it's something I've known for a while. Mint reduced appetite. So that's why I tend to choose the choc mint. This belief was reinforced when I read in Zest magazine that mint is an appetite suppresent and it's a good idea to burn a peppermint candle in the house. For those people hungry in the evenings, maybe lighting one as it gets dark could help.
I also grow fresh mint, so can sniff that whenever!
Hope everyone is okay. Stay strong xxx

I am very bad
After being good all day we ordered a curry. Not sure what got into me. BF was a little fed up and I think I used that as an excuse - wanted to cheer him up.
I had a korma which is full of cream and bad stuff, and we shared a rice. Didn't have naan, so could have been worse.
Got up early this morning in a mad panic to try and work off some of those calories. Know that sounds a little drastic, but I don't want it to mess up my loss. I've entered all the food into weight loss resources so that I know how many calories to get rid of and how many carbs. I've done some free arm weights, squats, lunges, press-ups, leg raises and then 20 minutes on the cross trainer at intensity level 8
I want to start doing all of the above anyway, so this has spurred me on.
I had a look on WLR and in October last year I was 12 stone 12 and now I'm 12 stone 13. However my hips were 5 whole inches less than now and my waist was 3 inches smaller. How crazy is that?!
That explains why I was a size 14 in October in my bottom half and I'm still a 16 now. The only thing I can think is that in October although I was starting to put the weight back on (post Orlando), I had been used to going on my x-trainer for 20 minutes about 4 times a week. It obviously was doing more than I thought.
I also think I must have the opposite of anorexia. I must think of a name for that. I still think I'm a size 10 up top and 12 on the bottom. I looked in the mirror when I was on my x-trainer and thought 'wow, I look nice and slim' and I look at my clothes and cannot get my head around them not fitting.
Last time it took my ages to get my head around being a 10/12 instead of a size 20 and it's the opposite now
It doesn't help really because there's a lot more incentive to do SS when I feel like a heffalump I wonder why this is? It's really strange. I've never felt thin in my life really and I was 2 stone lighter at my lowest but never felt this thin. Think my head is seriously messed up lol

Didn't stick to CD at all on Sunday, but planned to be bad and went on x-trainer first to limit damage. I think finding how many more inches I had this time last year at the same weight has shocked me and made me want to exercise more.
Really wish I could stick with CD SS, but struggling every day.
I think because I have got back into some of my old clothes the incentive is not quite there. Perhaps I need to go through my wardrobe and remind myself of all the things that still don't fit.
Going on xtrainer in a bit. Already taken dog, but back feels like it's about to go again, so will take it easy. Really really need to get to doctor and also get to see my lady about my back, but just haven't had time with juggling work and having the dog.
Work okay at moment, but food not great. Not sure I can this - CD I mean. Missing South Beach even though the loss was slow. Felt full all the time and much more stable - in terms of not anxious. Feeling quite nervous all the time at the mo

Hey Hun,
Had a bit of a catch up on here. You are doing what I did last time. At first you're so motivated and feeling great and then slowly over time we talk ourselves out of cd. Read back and see how fab u felt when you were in control. I'm back again and it's only day 2 for me. At first ur goals seem so strong, we start feeling good about ourselves and then talk ourselves out of staying on plan.
I'm back and I'm with you again. You've been doing so well so come on let's do this Hun xxx

Yeah, I think you're probably right and I needed to hear that. I think I'll find it easier over the next few weeks, as I'll be working from home in the mornings. For some reason I find that better than being in the office, where I'm tempted to nip out and buy snacks.
At home I can get up, do a bit of exercise, have a shake and then I forget about food. Got WI tomorrow and think for the first time I won't have lost anything.
Need to get head in gear. Found out last night that we are going to a christening on 9th May. That should incentivise me because none of my christening/wedding type outfits fit yet. Thanks hun - keep checking in and I'll keep checking you - it helps having people doing CD at same time I think xxx

Feels very quiet on here lately, but am keeping busy with work. In fact it has been manic, so I'm having the morning off. Going to take the dog shortly and then nip to Boots for some St Tropez mousse.
Things going okay with CD. Have been on cross trainer every day for about 5 days now, sometimes twice, so am having a meal as well as my shakes. Had a lovely fish curry last night.

Thanks Sunshine. I think lots of people are having a hard time and I tend to not come on here so much when I'm struggling. Shame though, as I miss people!
Been more relaxed this bank holiday so far, but still been doing x-trainer daily. My legs are changing shape, but not losing anything. Got a christening in 1 week and nothing fits! Went shopping yesterday and got into size 14 clothes, but things are always a little tight on my hips. Everything made me feel terrible and it put me in a bad mood as it always used to.
Going to leave shopping for a while. Off today to buy an anniversary present for boyfriend. We went yesterday and he bought me some sandals and I got him some sunglasses, but it's nice to get a few surprises too.
Hope everyone is okay xxx
