Thank you ladies.
I've just realised that I post far more on other people's diaries than I do in my own lol Boring life I lead obviously.
Well the ketosis fairy is back and I am feeling much better. 3lb loss this week, which will do nicely thank you very much. It was hard getting back into ketosis, will need to manage things differently in future. Cant get my head round a mega night out without having a drink. I will however have the opportunity to practice going out and not drinking at my friends 30th birthday and a colleagues leaving do. So that will be interesting. Different night out to one where I am out to party, but still a night out at the end of the day.
I have been amazed with the posts on here lately. Amazing women sharing their amazing lives. It is no wonder we have had issues with food. I mean lesser beings would have turned to drugs or murder ! Chasing the patisserie dragon is not the end of the world lol Well not unless you count diabeties, stroke ect But lets not dwell.
A day off for me and all hands to the cleaning as I have royalty to visit lol Great motivator, so I better shift myself xx

Wow congratulations on the 3lb loss - that must feel good after having a good night out I'm so pleased that you had a lovely time, it's good to be a bit naughty every now and then. I don't drink or go out clubbing etc. any more but on hols hubby and I had a couple of cheeky cigarettes in the evening which is something we haven't done for years - it felt very naughty and we chucked the pack in the bin before coming home so no harm done
I love reading your diary entries so keep writing - I love reading your comments on other people's too xx

I do like a clean house. Unfortunately I like to read more not a combination made in heaven. Lol. I think I'll need to invite more people over great motivator for a cleaning session.
My mum is a great house wife, really organised. My dad is great with money. Neither drink a drop. I often wonder if I was adopted lol I read as much as my mother though and am as stubborn as my father so I guess it evens out x

Week 10
3lb off at weigh in last night, 1lb off half a stone mark, 6lb from 40lb off, 8lb for the next stone 16lb for my half way point. Sheesh lol you can see what is preoccupying my thoughts! Things are ticking along quite nicely and on the whole managing the plan fairly well. Need to up my water and stop picking at protein and that will help up the losses greatly. Exercise wise is not bad, upped the walking with the dog to nearly an hour in the morning, now need to fit a stroll in when I come home from work as well.
Goals for the week.
No lapsing with protein. ( even though it doesn't bring you out of ketosis not a good idea)
Walk with the pooch in the evening.
Finish some paperwork that has been hanging around.
Class was really interesting last night. It is a returners class and two of the girls were talking about how they felt returning and having put some of their weight back on. They talked about how much they felt a failure, how they missed being slim ect. It struck me that I had none of those feelings putting back the weight on. I found it a bit inconvenient that I had to buy new clothes as I couldn't fit into the ones that I had bought, and was annoyed at selling some of my favorite fat clothes. At the end of the day however, I didn't really care that I had put the weight back on. How bizarre is that ? Gave me food for thought though.
It made me realise that I didn't have a lot invested in being a slim person, and made me question what have I got invested in being a slim person now. Am I just going through the motions of loosing weight? I dont feel a burning desire to be thin, as I have always enjoyed being a larger lady. Is enjoy the right word I wonder? Accepted, coped with, come to terms with, made the best of - may be better ways of thinking about it. I have no experience of being slim or within a "normal weight". People seem to rate being slim as the b all and end all in life, with fat being seen as the enemy to be defeated at all costs. Cant get my head round it at the mo as I have little knowledge of it.
Given that I dont have that draw or investment in being slim it is little surprise that I went back to patterns of eating that I found far more rewarding. Perhaps that is what is also fueling a lacksidaisical attitude to the plan. I mean if a goal isn't that important to you, why put a great deal of effort into achieving it. Hmm interesting.
So what am I on the program for, why is it important for me to loose weight, what do I want to change? Well I've returned to the plan motivated by pain again. Last time it was back pain, this time it is knee pain. Both aggravated by being morbidly obese. Last time the back pain went, the injury healed so hence no need to maintain the weight eh ? Crooked thinking at it's best or what lol I dont think however the knee pain is going to go away unless I maintain a far lower weight as I am putting too much stress on my bones.
I'd also like my energy levels to be better. I feel like an old woman a lot of the time. Not surprising when you are carting around an extra person each day. I want to be able to walk more with the dog, get out and socialise ect.
Anyway enough rambling pooch is wanting to go out as I am typing. Definitely food for thought here and stuff to be working on.
Onwards and downwards xx Hope all you lovelies have a great week
