Ollies Diary-Post LT Randomness

[LondonIrishOllie]

Hey Ollie,

Well done!!!!!!!! I have read through quite a bit of your diary and you an inspiration!!!

I have just finished day 11 which has been my hardest so far. Had my 1st shake at midday and then took my son off to a GAA match. Had to wait until 6.30pm for my 2nd shake which was a nightmare when the lads were commiserating their loss with a bag of chips in the back of the (closed) car...... Got there, just!!

Where abouts in Cork are you from?? I'm not far from Blarney but studying at UCC!!

heya!

hehe im far from an inspiration.. just needed something to keep me focused so used this site.. its a great place, helped me so much!

o god that sounds like such a tough day! well done for being strong, must o been so tempting..
im from east cork, little place near youghal.. living over in London now but studied in UCC for 4 years!

how long u reckon u'll be on this for?

Ollie,

I am hoping to go on refeed about 18th July as I am going on hols on 21st. I can refeed on hols as I am staying in my sisters villa and she has a blender!!! I am half tempted to continue on TFR on hols but the vino will be too tempting so I am going to re-feed instead. They tend to eat chicken and salad all the time so it shouldnt be an issue. One of my girls turns 18 whilst we are away and my brother-in-law has promised champers and I refuse to miss out on that!!

Funny really, I am originally from south east London and living in Cork and you are from Cork living in London! I like Youghal, nice place!! What did you study in UCC there are'nt many 4 year courses; I am on one, Im doing midwifery!

Well done again and running!!!!! Jeez, I couldnt do that!

 

[LondonIrishOllie]

LOL that's weird.. Almost like we swapped places! Well you should have lots lost for your holiday so will deserve the break! And looks like you'll be eating well out there anyways! Lucky u! Just watch this cals!!
Thank u! it wasn't easy but so worth it! O studied bis.. Business and tech.. Midwifery eh?! Good profession to get into for Ireland!

Love reading your posts Ollie and it's always great to see you back on here.

You started a week before me so I always like to check in on you.

Good luck for the half marathon in September, sounds fun (not!!). So pleased you are finally happy with yourself and enjoying life. Great to hear in fact. Keep up the good work, you're living proof that diet really does work and can really change your life for the better.

Heya Harriet!
thank you! It's tough going at times but it's ok.. sometimes easier to be on LT and sometimes you thank the lord you're not on it anymore!

running running running.. well just keep on going, anytime you're free do something.. remember I started the running.. I ran for a mile, stopped and couldnt go anymore.. few weeks later I did 2 miles very slowly.. then get more and more miles under your belt.. even if your going 2 miles an hour you're getting used to distance.. eventually when your happy with mileage just keep practicing it, the speed comes (im still not very fast but stamina is good)..

Thats my guide anyways, its far from perfect but kept me going through the summer!

 

[LondonIrishOllie]

Thanks so much to everyone for responding.. sorry I havent been on so much.. work since the start of the year has taken over my life! moved office to right on the trading floor so pretty much hectic all day everyday.. but on the upside I've been offered a position in New York which is 99% through so it looks like come Jan Im moving over there!! gonna be a huge change but to be honest Im looking forward to it.. been by far the best year of my life and I want it to continue.. This diet has been life changing for me.. Anyone thats struggling please keep with it, if it helps you half as much as its helped me it'll be worth it!

Just back from a holiday of a lifetime in Kenya! Been my first holiday in 2 years (was in a coma for a week after the last holiday in Asia so I took last year off!) Had an amazing time, went on my own and met lots of really great people.. Here to cap it off and hopefully give you some inspiration are 2 photos, one from holiday Sept 07 and one from Oct 09.. See if you can tell the difference?!

 

[AG1981]

You look amazing dude, and what fantastic changes occurring in your life.
How blooming exciting!
You need an assistant in New York right????
