Lost & Found... Map Gone AWOL!

Doing so well Katy...6lb is great, no matter what. Certainly seems like you are very determined, the rest will drop off at this rate. Have never tried tofu. Am i right in thinking it is generally quite bland? How much can you have though, i can't see it in the book.? xx
 
Thanks Miss JT for the tofu link, will check that out! Thanks all for kind words & good wishes.

Trip Report:
Tried on different dress just before I left, black & cream 50's style, fitted bodice & big gathered skirt, size 12... it fitted. So I took that & wore with my little pink Boden cashmere cardi & felt that I looked the part anyway. I was so glad about that... and the dress-trying-on hardened my resolve to get this weight off and get down to 10 7 where all my stuff will fit and I will feel I am in a place I want to stay.

Sunday food: as planned, hot choc at 11.30; skinny latte & peanut bar on train; lo fat cottage cheese and rocket leaves at hotel. A good 810 day.

Monday food: no, no, no. Not an 810 day, but it couldn't be. I won't beat myself up over it.
brekky: scrambled eggs, 4 mushrooms
lunch: 2 tiny wholemeal cheesey sandwiches (one slice of bread all-in, but the filling was fattening... no salad, no bread-free choices, and lots of meat/fish so it was all I could have really).
afternoon: latte & bar on train
tea: 7 o clock... this is where it went wrong... latte & cheese scone with butter at Carlisle station. I was hungry and very fed up, hate the long travel home and knew I still had 2 hours travel ahead of me... I debated between egg sandwich & cheese scone & went for scone. I knew what I was doing and chose to do it, and excused myself on basis that I'd spent a huge amount of energy that day, but a bit disappointed in myself. At least I didn't want anything sweet.

Weighed this morning and still 11 5, so that's good. Have had my porridge toady and am carrying on as if nothing odd has happened. Hope I can find the ketosis zone soon.

Wooooh Katy your dress sounded great I bet you looked fab in it .. Sounds like you had a good time.. and one day on track and one a little side tracked isnt bad hon, you mad good choices and didnt go wild!!!
Hope you have a good day today.......... dont forget the water I think it really helps onto my 2nd litre today............ x
 
Glad all went well in the smoke! That outfit sounds lovely, bit flashy for a spy though, still if you blended in...... I suppose that was the idea?!

It says in my yellow book that most people won't stay in ketosis as there is a greater amount of carbohydrate on 810 but you'll still lose weight because your cals are low. ( Just looked it up.) So you see that cheese scone won't matter in the scheme of things at all.

Glad you are back. xx
 
You did great Katy! I travel on trains loads and find it so hard when stuck at stations with nothing but bread available.

Your outfit sound fab - I'm sure you looked great!

Next time you're in Euston, let me know and I'll meet you for a latte and peanut bar!:)
 
That's a deal Alli... I can foresee a gathering of slim, spy-like minis peeps, meeting sneakily under the clock at Euston, clutching our CD bars... one day! Would be a laugh.

Had to smile at the idea of me as a spy, 'allo, 'allo... I think I was in mild ketosis most of time on 810 the first time around, not sure now. I still feel a bit hungry, but there is a calmness I don't feel so much on higher plans, maybe that's just lack of carbs! Or psychological.

Lol at the spy like mini's gathering! Although knowing my luck i'd end up at an entirely different station or area of the country. Geography not being my strong point. Look even more nuts, standing on my own cluthcing a peanut bar grinning madly!
I guess we all must have different levels of carbs we can consume before we're kicked out. Have never figured mine out. Did the ice block feeling leave you? Thats when i know i'm out. xx
 
I never really had the frozen feeling or the not-hungry one, just the mouth-like-bottom-of-birdcage one. I guess maybe we have different levels of ketosis too? I know that last Jan I did have a buzz from SS, more energy etc, and that hasn't really appeared this time with 810, sadly!

Still, another day... and heading in the right direction. I know that loss will be slower this week after the glycogen dip of starting, but still feels positive. Porridge time!

Morning Katy!
Well I think you did brilliantly on your London trip (much better than my choices!) glad you are feeling so calm too, 810 is good for that i reckon, i think most people drift in and out of ketosis even the book says most people don't stay in ketosis, i definitely did stay there most of the time. Good on you for getting on with it!
Just posted a 1 year message on my thread but wanted to say a special Thanks to you for always being here for me and everyone!

xx :hug99::thankyou:
 
Hugs Lelly! You are such a cheerleader for us all, and your example is brilliant, you just get on and show that it can be done, and that you can have a full & fun life too, without stressing about the food the whole time. So happy you are at your first year anniversary, I know there will be many more ahead. I think you genuinely have it sussed and the thanks goes both ways hun, you do so much for all of us. Our own personal CD maintainers CDC!

Katy you look like you are doing really well. I some how missed you weight loss posting. Well done :D:D thats nearly half a stone gone already! I love reading your diary, everyone has some good advice and I must catch up with the other maintainers like Bess and Lelly. Any tips are greatly received. Im back to SS+ on day 2 and hating every minute but I have to do this to get to my new target :sigh: If only losing it was as easy as putting it on:(
 
It doesn't feel easy from where I am standing and so, so hungry today. Am making myself wait to 11 for a hot choc shake. Do talk to Bess, she is doing SS+ as well, you are both braver than me. But keep at it, we managed last time by egging each other on & we can do it again... I am quietly determined, as new goal will be final goal... I want to be done with all of this and get to proper maintaining, on proper amount of cals.

Hugs MissJT.

Well, yes in theory, but I was so hungry yesterday that I had an 810 day. Just ready to gnaw the pantry door down in the evening so I had another green and white meal. I don't think it will matter, at least I didn't blow it. See what today brings....just had a hot choc so far and lots of herb tea, it's 1.10pm.

Well done Katy, it's as you said, we are finishing the job and I am so determined this time. xx

How many cals in a pantry door, d'you think? As long as it was either green or white, I am sure it'l be OK.

Big hugs Bess!

Thanks but I think madder:silly: rather than braver. Whatever path we choose we will all reach the finish line at some point:D
