Sybersadie's Diary

[Darcy15]

It's all in the right direction Sadie.......but I feel your pain

Weeks with small losses are hard to bear

.....but let's keep on with this, together, and we'll succeed

 

[sybersadie]

Thanks ladies - I'm just frustrated and a little stressed.

I think you are right Bex, stress does some funny things.

Off for a bath in order to avoid the temptation in the kitchen.

That's where I go if I need to get away from food! Enjoy x

 

[twinmum07]

Hope you enjoyed your bath.
I am jealous that you forgot to weigh in. I am obsessed with the scales and start counting down to next week's weigh in as soon as I get off them.

Everybody is different so it could be that the non-100% day sticks with you for longer and the other 6 perfect days show next week.

 

[Darcy15]

How's it going Sadie?

 

[Beccubug]

Hi, sorry about your crappy few days. How are you getting on?

 

[MrsN]

Hope you're doing ok x

 

[sybersadie]

So, in the end I decided to come off the diet for the weekend. Work was (is still) stressing me anyway. The fact that I was struggling to keep to to the diet was just adding to the stress as well. Saturday we were going out to dinner with friends anyway so I had planned to be off plan. Something had to give and so I took a short diet holiday. I have had two full days off plan and and have drawn a line under the weekend.

I've started back to TS today. I def came out of ketosis over the weekend as I have a thumping headache today But at least I know it will go. I've also not weighed in since last Friday. I will have put some weight back on, hopefully just water weight but I don't want the scales moving upwards to me down again so I will wait til this Friday to see what the damage is.

 

[Beccubug]

Sometimes coming off is the only thing that keeps us going. Well done for getting back on.

 

[SarahDr]

Try not to let it get to you too much Hun. Have a great week and I'm sure the results will balance out next week.

 

[twinmum07]

Good on you for having a break and fab motivation in getting straight back on to it.
Hope Friday shows the weekend wasn't a big deal. Have you not even had a peak on the scales?

 

[sybersadie]

I can't have a peek. My OH has taken the battery out of the scales! I have a big issue with daily weighing, but if the numbers don't go down it just adds to my stress. So the battery was removed

I have been promised it will be put back on Friday morning. It is probably a good thing as my target was to have lost 2 stones by the time we go away on Saturday. I am sure my weekend off plan will have put that goal off for a while. And, if I have gained too much weight then it will only drive me back to food.

So, the plan is to be TS for these full 5 days. We go away on Saturday and will be away for 3 weeks now. We originally were only going for 2 weeks but as my OH has some annual leave carried over so we've managed to change our flights home.

 

[Darcy15]

Sensible choice Sadie - sounds like you really needed the diet break

....and really well done for getting back on the wagon!

You really deserve your holiday - and I hope you get the chance to recharge your batteries

 

[bexster1974]

3 weeks that's brilliant - bet you can't wait! X

 

[sybersadie]

I am so looking forward to the holiday. I can't wait to have a lie in with no pressure to get up and get working!

 

[sybersadie]

I successfully got through yesterday 100% TS, yippey

But was hungry, sniffly and headachy by bedtime. I "killed" all three with a blackcurrant lemsip. Probably not diet friendly but the headache and sniffles had to go or I would have been awake all night.

Going well so far today. No headache so far today, but I do have the sniffles so I'm back on the echinacea.

 

[sybersadie]

Another successful 100% day yesterday and all going ok so far today. I think I'm going to be hungry later tonight though.

I had my lunchtime bar a little earlier because I was "starving" (well it felt like it) and want to hold out until 7.30 for my dinner pack. I think I might have to have a cup of oxo or bouillon around 5 if I am to last that long!

My headache has gone now so I think I am probably back in ketosis. When I come back from holiday I plan on getting some ketostix so I can check.

Ok, all caught up - lunch break over, back to work.

 

[Beccubug]

Well done for getting back on so well. Very impressive.

 

[paigesmum30]

Well done on getting straight back on the wagon. Hope you feel better soon :0)

 

[MrsN]

Well done you for getting straight back to it!! 3 week holiday sounds bliss!!!
