Minxie's diary

Rainy Sunday morning - yawn.....just a min before I head out to work. I'm tired this morning as didn't sleep well last night:( Jumped on scales this morning and they haven't moved at all in 3-4 days :( I know I should keep off them but it's very difficult to break habits of a lifetime (at least all at once, lol). Made yesterday into a SS+ as I was very hungry when I got home from work and had some cottage cheese. Not sure why hungry, but maybe cos it's totm which may also explain the tiredness I guess. Today I am going to manage another good day! See you later diary, xx
 
Morning, today is day 7 of CD and day 5 of my sponsored slim.

Yesterday I had a bit of a wobble but don't think any damage was done - just shows what an emotional eater I am and how I need to find a way to cope without eating. Interestingly whilst I did have the thought of "well since I've come off plan I might as well have something nice for dinner" I thought twice about it and had a yummy hot choc tetra instead and felt as though I was more controlled and in charge of my decisions:)

So today it's back to work, hopefully nicer that the rubbish day I had yesterday which left me stressed out, not helped by OH's appt with cardiology consultant :(

Onwards and downwards;)
 
Glad your first few days are going well. keep up the good work - I am only a few days behind you, so if you dont mind will be following you progress through you diary for inspiration! I hope that doesnt make me sound like some mad stalker woman!!

Hope work goes well for you today - its nice to be occupied!

Take Care
Chris xx
 
Hi Chris, nice of you to drop by - I promise I won't feel stalked! I hope that I can give you a bit of inspiration, I'll try, lol. My diary is a bit rambling and is for me to just let off steam too so forgive me if it goes on a bit! Have now had 1 shake, walked the dog, been the supermarket and now have to head out to work - must remember to drink all my water today. Weigh in is on Thursday and I hope the scales have dropped:)
 
Today is day 8 of CD (5/84 of diet) and I must be in ketosis I think. I occasionally feel hungry but water cures that! Also I still fantasise about food a bit eg when I know there's something nice in the fridge that needs eating because it's at expiry date! Must remember that I am not a dustbin and it is not a huge crime to have to occasionally throw out food that OH hasn't managed to eat - I will only get fat and loathe myself if I eat it.

Jumped on scales this morning and they are still not moving:( CDC comes on Thursday so I hope that 10lbs drops off between today and tomorrow, lol! Perhaps I should just hide the scales here although a daily weigh-in for most of my life makes that a hard habit to break. And I figure they have to show a loss at some point coz I'm doing all the right things - perhaps I'll try and increase water intake although I get between 2 and 3 litres a day plus extra in my shakes and tetras.

Feel that having gone public with my sponsored slim is really helping and people are interested to see how I'm doing. I've never really gone public about a diet before, always felt like I was saying that I was really fat (well I am!);)

Anyway - another day dawns and I'm aiming for 100% SS again. Hope all you out there have a great day too:)
 
Morning Hunni

Sorry I haven't been around all weekend but I am back now

Good for you with the hot tetra - you are making all the right decisions and doing so well

I fell off the wagon, Friday night and stayed off it until this morning - but got weighed with CDC yesterday and have managed to lose 2lbs but that's pretty crap for 7 full days - must try harder and I am determined to be 100% until I get weighed again which is in 11 days

Have a great day - catch you later

Hi Madferret - hope the weekend was a good one! I think 2lbs loss is brilliant after a weekend off-plan and no time to recover from it, well done!

"See" you later:)
 
Just had to have some chicken and cucumber as felt very hungry - didn't especially enjoy it though and now regret not just glugging another litre of water:(
 
I think that it is the key.... before you have food have some water and then see how you feel... sometimes it is just head/mouth hunger and you are not really hungry at all, and then you beat yourself up about it because you have had something..

Hope today is a better day - I managed 100% yesterday so am determined to do the same today - one day at a time

Good morning! Today is indeed Friday and another day off for me - yippee! Had a good WI in yesterday with 5lbs loss but then had a bad day diet wise - I had planned to come off plan for the day and this morning the scales look even better:) Yesterday clearly had little impact so I must have chosen wisely. Today it's back to 100% SS. Very tired this morning - too late to bed after watching election progs. Will need to get my act in gear now and start my day - nothing planned apart from an appt at 13.30 so I guess a long walk with the dog would be a great start point.

Hope everyone else has a good day, esp Madferret:)
 
Today is Monday and I've had a difficult weekend with lots of social engagements revolving around food :( Didn't do as well as I should have done but determined to get back in line today and surge forward. Nothing else in diary until 25th May so should manage a clear run till then. I've realised that being so busy keeps me away from minimins and that doesn't help me to stay motivated - so new resolution is to come online at least once every day for inspiration and reminder of why I have chosen to do CD. I must also remember that it IS a choice that I have made willingly and must not grumble or feel deprived! I've also decided to try and up my water intake from 2 litres plus hot drinks to 3 litres plus drinks to see if that makes any difference to losses.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and that you are all excited by the week ahead and more great weigh-ins:)
 
Hi Madferret, how are you doing?
 
Hi again Madferret!

Hope your switch doesn't mean we wont "meet up" anymore, lol. I think SW is a great plan and I hope to go onto it when I get close to my goal weight. For now I need weaning off food and ginormous portions;) Good luck - is the SW forum good?
 
Today is Weds and day 17 of CD - a breakdown shows I have done:

7 x SS
3 x SS+
6 days - slip ups, not all disastrous but please slap my hands:(

I have been haunted all night by the thought of all my sponsors and letting them and myself down so today will be SS all the way. Yesterday was a bit of a celebration after some good news so I guess I can forgive myself for that, but I do realise that nearly all socialising and celebrating involve food - so why am I the only overweight one in my family?

Tomorrow morning is WI number 2 and I hope that the scales have gone down even half a pound - will be very upset if they have gone up but not surprised.

Onwards and downwards;)
 
It is true that most celebrations revolve around food and drink but I have found that the people who celebrate and are still thin, do not 'celebrate' every day - they then make cutbacks during the rest of the week... that way you can enjoy your celebration and not feel guilty when the scales show a gain !

Have a good day 100%, get glugging that water and you will be fine
