My metamorphosis log - final stage

26.01.10
Just a quick one to say hello. In work at 12, and got to get ready yet and take DD to OH's folks for the day. First time they have looked after her for us for work, and only the fourth time in her life (considering she's almost 3.5yrs old, not so impressed, but thats a rant i wouldn't inflict on you all!) Just hoping she behaves, but she seems quite happy this morning and no doubt will be spoilt rotten!
Anyway, the fact that i am at work, makes it impossible to not succeed today diet-wise. Normally have to do cooking with the patients but thats not a temptation. So a day filled with lots of black coffee, water and a CD bar at some point. Scales are being nice this morning and say i'm 10st 4lb, so potentially a pound down. Won't get too excited yet, but i am pleased its moved at last. Motivated to keep it up till WI. Hope evryone else has a good day xx

All sounds good to me Butterfly, well done! xx

Thanks everyone!
Yay for me....! Quite pleased as i had a very good day. No cheating at all, a 100% ss day and it feels good to be back in control. Even if it is courtesy of a 'no food' plan. Its still a step in the right direction- to see the scales move down again.
Haven't had enough water though, so just glugging a few pints, no doubt inducing toilet trips at 3am but needs must! Got horrid mouth again, so suspect back in ketosis, time for the gum and mouth spray again...!
Off to have my soup, and watch episode of Lost. I know its late, but i have always been a night owl and only just had chance to sit down after picking up DD (who did have a lovely day, which i am pleased about)
Only 36hrs till WI, bit nervous about it in a wierd way. I know i shouldn't be greedy after my useless start to the week but i do hope for a few pounds. xx

 

[Katycakes]

Yay for that 100% day, you can do it!

Hi all, feeling good still. Having hungry moment so just munching on a peanut bar. I tend to save everything for evening, but as my cdc pointed out, i have 'starved' overnight, so really should try to eat in the morning, to also kick start my metabolism. Trying to steel myself to have some water, i'm so cold.
Got to go get busy now really, putting it off as usual. Although tired, after a disturbed night sleep, i am starting to feel a little bit more energetic. The horrid carb induced near coma is dissipating at last! xx

 

[Bess]

Well done Butterfly, I can't face lots of water at this time of year so have lots of herby tea - rooibos and so on.....might that help?

 

[*butterfly*]

Thanks Bess, is it nice? I have tried pepppermint, and green tea and couldn't bear either, just can't take it black. You can count it in your water intake then? Does decaff coffee count...i drink bucketloads.
Off to WI at 930am, not checked scales yet. Going to have to move up to 810, but going to try not to have my ususal post WI blip. (Which will be a first!) Hoping then that i may remain in mild ketosis and drop the pounds a bit quicker, and not get hungry. I can but try. Will have to plan and cook my meal, as at work tonight. may do the quorn thing as its so quick and easy. Well, off to get ready. Back later xx

 

[Katycakes]

I think all liquid counts?

Good luck hun for WI and welcome to 810 for later! Will be thinking of you and know you'll get a happy result!

At WI i had lost 3lb- yippeee! Good result really, as i had gone up to 10-7 at one point and now back at 10-2. Can't stay long to waffle. Got to go and cook, have stocked up on loads of good 810 foods. In work tonight xx

 

[Wales]

Great news, well done you. Have a good evening x

 

[Katycakes]

Yay Butterfly! Well done. We can do this!!!

[Bess]

Oh well done!! That's great! 10.2 is very low, how tall are you?

 

[*butterfly*]

Cheers all, i am quite chuffed! Managed to stay 100% again, and have moved up to 810. Its always a bit wierd juggling when to have meals/ cd stuff when on nights. End up having 3-4 products from 7am till 10am the next day, but i am awake for 24hrs of that, it sort of evens out eventually, although i occasionally end up losing out on a pack. Time to start listing meals now so to keep track as i move up plans.

1030hrs - half cd bar
1430hrs - savoury quorn with courgette/mushroom, 0.5 spicy tom soup and cottage cheese (0.5 portion), half cd bar
1600-1830 sleep....
0400hrs - savoury quorn with courgette/mushroom, 0.5 spicy tom soup and cottage cheese (0.5 portion)
0500hrs - cd bar

Thats it so far, still got another half shake to have, will have hot choc before go to bed, so thats 3 for the day.
Feeling good, still in keto cause mouth is like a sewer, and my most pleasing result is to get to the end of WI day and not have cheated!! The first time in weeks i have ever done this....thrilled!
Hope everyone is well. S'pose i ought to do some work now xx

Oh, and i am 5'4.5", so BMI currently 23.8. Going to try for 9st 7lb which will be BMI 22.5ish. Not that i'm too bothered by the whole BMI thing. I just can see and feel that even when i was at 9st12lb i still had a fair bit of fat lurking, although i know realistically that i also have to get my backside into gear and start toning up soon. xx

Well done Butterfly on staying 100%, especially when on shifts! Have a good sleep today x

 

[LellyCD]

yay for you and 100% well done, keep it going and that 9.7 will be with you before you know it!

Have a fab day hun

Coming on for a quick confession.....have just had a quarter of one of my homemade oat/coconut biccys....about 25cals i think....bad girl! I've slapped my hand and thrown the offending box back into cupboard. Wasn't too bad though, i actually broke one in half and intended to have this, but satisfied by the quarter, so the rest went in the bin. Just wanted a taste. The period after a shift is always the worst.
Worse still, i have to stay up for ages this morning, as my mom is coming to pick DD up to have her for the night, as OH is in work too, and she's been on hols for a week so i have to stay up to meet her. I'm so tired now too...! Will enjoy my lovely comfy bed all the more though.
Was glad to leave work, have done a shift with a pillock of a nurse who loves the sound of his own voice, knows everything....or thinks he does, and talks crap all night long, when some of us were actually trying to work! Got to the point where i could barely stand to even respond to his inane waffle any longer, but can hardly get away from him when we are based in the same ward. Back in tonight, but luckily with a different team xx
