Not tried adding coffee, how much do you add? I added ice cubes so my banana one this morning and that was much nicer. Going to buy some straws and pretend it's McDonalds...lol!
I put 1 teaspoon of coffee, dilute it in a tablespoon of boiling water then top up with cold...then add the vanilla powder and mix like normal.....yummy, taste like one of those canned cappucinos.
well done on getting these first few days done. I have to admit I am not keen on the soups or strawberry shake, but this is how I have mine:
Vanilla - hot with a spoonful of coffee (275mls water) - like a latte
Chocolate - hot yummy (275mls water)
Banana - ice cold (350mls water) - like an ice cold milkshake
Like you, I tend to think of it as skinny medicine and something I do.
So.....Day 5. The scales are still looking good, but I'm being slack. My weakness is the weekend and I've still got 2 and a half days to get through
Had a porridge for breakfast and a bar for luch, but already had 2 cheesestrings and a slice of chicken Need to make sure I don't eat anything else till tea time. Only half a litre and 1 coffee down, must drink more water.
Got friends round for tea tonight, I'm cooking tikka masalla and egg friend rice. My thinking is that when I am struggling (which I know I will be), I can have some of the chicken and some of the egg. Obvioulsy pre fat and sauce
Started my TOTM this morning, so I guessing that isn't helping the food cravings, but strangely I am not craving carbs and sugar, I just want to munch. So maybe it is just the weekend boredom.
Am cracking on with catching up on my degree assignments instead.
Well I was quite naughty yesterday, I seemed to munch all day. I had a porridge and a bar, but didn't bother having a 3rd product as during the day I also had 3 cheesestrings, some chicken, some ham and some cheese. Naughty Kez!
I had friends over for tea and had to cook, but I didn't join in with them. Even when they brought strawberry cheesecake and Tiramasu along with them...and worse still left it here for us.
They didn't make much fuss as my friend is a similar size as me and pregnant and her partner is the same as mine (a rake), but knows not to pass judgement on weight issues...lol!
So today I am going to try my hardest to be really good! Having a choc shake with loads of ice, it's a bit tasteless to be honest, can't understand how they're so many peoples favourite.
Lots of squash today, can't wait for weigh in and being able to update my tickers!
Good luck with the weigh in - you know you can do it
Started Exante 21 August 2011 - 18st 2. week 1 weigh in - lost 9lbs (17.7) week 2 weigh in - Mini Goal - 2st by 30 September. Next Goal 3st by 30 October. 1 week off to enjoy Barbados Holiday. Then final push to lose 3st by March 2012 and weigh 11 stone. Stay there and maintain.
Am gutted! Just did a ketostix and I'm out of the zone I guess even though I stuck to protein in my pickings yesterday, it was still too over the top and it has knocked me out.
So doing my usual sulky retaliation, I've just had a mouthful of the cheesecake I wanted last night and 3 pringles
I can't give up now, I'm so close to my own little mini goal! Loads of water today will get me there and hopefully tomorrow I can get back into ketosis
Not harsh at all...completely necessary. I'm getting off the sofa now and away from temptation. Going to Falmouth to visit the folks and give them the left over Tiramasu, so it's gone out of my house!
And...I've just put the cheesestrings in the freezer! lol
