Russiandoll's Diary

[Isis]

End of week 1

DD2 (who is expecting her first baby - a boy - in Feb) is visiting for the weekend with her DH and is currently in the other room with the rest of the family enjoying a yummy sherpherds pie with veggies that I made for everyone (I'm in ketosis - it was no problem) so I'm here playing catch-up with my diary.

I had my first weigh-in at 5pm and am delighted with an 8lb loss . I had been eating low carb the week before the diet - not because I was 'preparing' but because I'd had enough of stodgy food after Christmas - so I knew it wouldn't be in the jaw dropping double figures I've had in the past but I'm over the moon with a loss of over half a stone in a week.

I've decided to go to 790 now that I'm well in ketosis and kick started the diet. I'm trying a bit of an experiment; before dinner I tested for ketosis (positive), I've had some tuna steak in a Thai Chilli sauce with a handful of steamed broccoli, cauli and fine green beans (that's a COMBINED handful - not a handful of each!) followed by a CD choc orange mousse. I haven't even had my third pack yet so I'll have a bar later with a hot drink.

Tomorrow, I'll test for ketosis in the morning and we'll see what happens ... watch this space!

So it's week 1 over - onto week 2

Fantastic loss for your first weigh in RD

You sound very focused and it comes across the page that you have your head "in gear"! Well Done, well well done!!

[Russiandoll]

Thanks guys ...

Oh - I forgot to say ... TOTM came today, 4 days early (hormones all over the place since clearing hormonal BC out of my system) so it was even better that I saw a good loss AND maintained a good, even mood all week.

Go me!!

Awww thanks everyone! Your support is really appreciated

I did a keto test this morning like I said I would and .... still WELL in ketosis! That's given me the confidence and green light to carry on with 790.
It's a beautiful sunny day here on the south coast so I'm off out to catch some of those rays.

Catch you all later

8lb is excellent RD. well done, and good luck with 790 this week. Think I might switch to 790 myself as Im finding SS just too hard.

WK2: Day 1 - Sat 12th Jan

I know it's only my second day on 790 but I'm loving it already! I'm trying to listen to my body ... for the first time in years and so far, so good.

I started the day with water and a coffee - I wasn't hungry so felt I could wait until I was. We went to the town market at about midday - I still wasn't hungry but took a bar in case I needed it.

DD2, her hubby and my DH decided they wanted a burger so we stopped at one of the units in the market (had tables under a gazebo). I had a coffee and considered having my cranberry crunch bar but listened to my body - I still wasn't hungry so I happily sipped on my coffee.

We went to visit my mum and dad and got home about 3pm. By then I did feel hungry so had a mushroom soup. Later on, for dinner I had steamed cauli, broccoli & sliced green beans topped with tuna steak in a lemon and cracked black pepper sauce followed by a CD choc orange mousse. I had a cranberry crunch bar with a coffee whilst watching TV. Bliss!

This is a plan I think I can follow. It's strict but 'do-able' so I'm going to give it my best. The test will be at my weigh in next Friday.
