Hi guys
Ok, don’t know if anybody remembers me, but I am a dreaded restarter …. Well a wannabe restarter!
In short…. Very short I promise…. I started CD ss+ APROX 11 months ago. I lost five stone in just under 6 months with no blips at all! J Then it kind of went down hill. I lost the will completely and hit a few health probs and ultimately came off CD completely no steps just bang straight off.
So here I am five months later, having regained APROX 1 stone and about half a dress size. Not great but not too bad right? So I need to lose at least another two stone so I’m thinking now’s the time to restart! O by the way I joint the gym about a month or so ago and go 3 – 4 times per week mainly cardio.
But ……. Isn’t there always a but…………
The two health reasons for me stopping the diet were 1) my back went completely – which was the start of an ongoing back complaint. I was put on strong pain killers and had to eat with them and 2) I had some blood tests done that come back abnormal…. Don’t quite know what but something to do with enlarged red blood cells????
So after 101 questions from the Dr I was advised the blood test abnormalities could mean many things, but are consistent with a highly deficient diet. L Not really what I wanted to hear seeing as CD is 100 percent nutritionally balanced! Seeing as I had just stopped CD to take the back pain killers it was considered I had now stopped the diet and should re take the blood tests in a few months (this hasn’t happened as yet) been trying to book the blood test outside of working hours but no hope as yet.
So I have been back on mins reading all the stories… a lot of them saying they have regained all the weight!!!! I cannot do that so know I need to restart… but should I? The past three weeks I am absolutely exhausted. I know I need to retake those blood tests but if I wait until I get that appointment I could have potentially lost another stone by then. And on the flip side my back is relentlessly hurting, I can take paracetamol and give the other pain killers a rest and losing my excess weight would surely help the back prob.
Sorry that wasn’t a short story at all was it lol. So this morning I have had my bran flakes.. but im thinking should I just draw a line under this morning and start now?! Should I still go to the gym and do CD I don’t want to give it up but I don’t want to make myself ill either
Any advice kindly received
Thanks
Ps I could go on as ive had so much going on which is ultimately effecting my cd frame of mind but il stop boring you all…. For now
