So I am back again!

[Rkmriddell]

Eek thanks! I know if I make it through this weekend I'll be absolutely fine. Totally dreading it though!

Been 100% today again, I'm proud of myself I find it so easy at work and then I get home and I'm knackered so not bothered about food. It's the weekend and being bored which makes me mess up!

I know it's only day 3 but I'm feeling so much better already. I think it's because I'm less bloated. I love the empty feeling you get on CD. There's nothing worse than eating crap and feeling all full and bloated

Yep you need to plan yourself some things to keep you busy this weekend! You're doing great hunni well done x

I'm on day three too! You're doing so well! Lets get this first week out the way, it seems to be taking ages, but hoping now we're over the first few days it'll fly! I think with the weekend you just need to have that mentality that it's no different to any other day, so you don't need to drink, you don't need to order food in, it's just another day for you to stick 100% to SS+

I want to lose 5 and a half stone, which is depressing because when I started a failed SW attempt 2 years back I only had like 3 stone to lose!
Thank god it's day 4, need to to be day 7! xx

 

[Rkmriddell]

I'm really looking forward to finishing this week now. I haven't made it through a week on CD for an extremely long time! My CDC is on holiday until next Friday so not got an official WI until at least a week on Monday, but I'm going to weigh myself on my scales in 3 days time. I weighed myself on my first day in the evening at 14 stone 6 and 3 quarters. No idea what loss to expect, I've never been one of those people who lose a gargantuan amount on their first week of a diet. I think it will be around 4lb..

Until now of course cause you are Going to make it whatever you lose what's important is that you've stuck to plan and for that you should be very proud. X

Nearly finished day 5! So proud of myself haha! Had my breakfast shake then one around 3ish, and will have my third around 6 as I'll be cooking tea for when OH finishes work at 8.

Got a bit of a dilemma - OH wants us to go out on Sunday night as its bank holiday. I haven't been out for a long long time and I'm in need of some fun, but there's no way I can take a night out with him and his friend if they are getting drunk and I'm not! Don't know if I should knock myself out of ketosis on Sunday and go and enjoy myself for once, or just stick to the diet. I've come so far compared to other restarts but I hardly ever get the chance to go out and be a bloody normal 21 year old! Help!

OH has just come back and is going to the cinema with his friend so I'm having an omelette for tea rather than cooking for 2. I usually only have chocolate tetras but just nicked one of my OH choc orange bars and it's really nice!!

Personally I wouldn't come out of ketosis I would just skip the night and enjoy some you time. There's plenty of bank holidays still to come and for those you can go out looking hot. Like you said you've not got this far on a restart for ages, do you really want to break it for a drink? Which will also result in a hangover and therefore craving bad food too x

 

[jess33]

You can be urine strips from boots that show ketosis. Diabetics use them!!

Glad to hear it babe. X put the money away for a nice sexy outfit to wear to the next one xxx

It's pants having to miss out, but I think of the hangover the next day and wanting the McDonald's to sort it out and Bahh would I really have the willpower to get straight back on the shakes? If you've got your willpower don't give in to things that'll always be there, keep focused

 

[Felix]

Hi everyone! Thanks for the kind words. You're right about having the willpower to get back on the diet straight after, I've got no chance cos I always want to eat crap if I've been drinking!!

Been shopping today and bought some plain black tops as I'm having a bit of a crafty day. I'm making them in to a galaxy print and it looks really cool. I made this one for myself a few weeks ago and OH now wants one so I got him a plain black polo shirt so i can make him one too! OH also bought two new tops from H&M and two Ralph Lauren polo tops from TK Maxx (proper bargains!). He has weighed himself this morning and lost 7lb and I am trying to hold out until my official weigh in after week 2.

Managed to survive shopping without wanting to go for lunch, and we went to Starbucks so I had a coffee with skimmed milk. It was really nice! Seen loads of gorgeous stuff in H&M and Urban Outfitters today. Can't wait until I've finished CD so I can go shopping! Got £200 vouchers from an award at work which I can swap in to high street vouchers so I'm saving them for when I'm slimmer.

Hope everyone's having a great weekend x
