Take 2 to 12 stone!! Take no prisoners, or carbs!

[Ela ine]

Hello all!

After a wobbly few weeks with numerous 're-starts' and 'cheating' on Slim and Save, I have decided to give it my undivided attention!

Inspired by many (cough BB, Rebeckah, Scousemouse, Lucynewmum et al) I am back and ready to roll! Well, less rolling more beeend and stretch. Here's hoping!

I have had a full 10 days off the diet! Although to be fair I wasn't doing it 100% (not enough water, not weighing protein etc)
Bu having thought this through last week, I'm really going to give it my all. And hoping this time I will get to goal!

I'm hoping the damage is not too awful, but through my dieting life I usually vary between 16:5-17 stone.

My interim goal is 12 stone, which I hope to reach early next year.

For now, I shall be aiming for baby steps:

1. Get through Day 1
2. Get through week 1
3. Loose 1 stone

My plan is as follows:

1. Stick to S&S 100% alternating between 4 packs & 3 & protein.
2. Drink at LEAST 2.5L of water per day
3. Do at least 30 mins of exercise per day


I have three planned breaks: (thanks BB )
- cruise - in less than 3 weeks time!
- Christmas day
- My birthday in Jan

Hope I don't seem too optimistic! Lol! Looking forward to 100%!! Day 1 begins when I wake up! xx

Only thing I would say is get enough water, 3 minimum

How are you doing beaut?

I'm chomping a bar with a cup of tea instead of second choc shake.

Was wondering... You know how you can have 3 eggs in place of a third shake. Could you have two shakes and 4 eggs.. Etc. or say 1 x chicken, 3 x eggs and 2 shakes?! x

 

[RebekahR]

Yeah not too bad, mega busy with studying, shattered!! Otherwise fine

its 2 eggs in place of 1 pack - You need 3 packs & Protein serving (or 4 packs)

But say if you were exercising you could have extra protein - or I would add extra during tom etc.

Hope that helps hun xxx

Day 3!!!

Still hungry so don't think I'm in ketosis yet... Chugging lots of water and so far only cups of tea and a chocolate shake down.

I haven't done any exercise (yet) today but have done lots and lots of cleaning! So hopefully that counts as body magic.

I have taken the kids to the park and now just watchin a wee bit of lost.

Don't know what I'm going to do with myself before my job starts! Feels like I have so much time on my hands!!

Holiday soon - just keep looking forward to that.

In other news - I'm wearing a denim skirt today, for the first time in my life!!!

Going to have a strawberry shake, vanilla shake & chicken salad later on.

Happy dieting x

 

[Ela ine]

Had an extra half of a chicken breast tonight.

Only three packs
Will I be safe? So hungry!

 

[RebekahR]

Three & chicken be fine hunny

Xx

 

[Ela ine]

Thanks lovely

Went out for a picnic today, took two boiled eggs and a bar.

Had 4 x 750ml of water, a can of coke zero and lots of fun!!!

Also some cabbage and cups of tea when I got back.

Think I may be in ketosis as I have an awful metal taste in my mouth :s haven't had this one before but maybe different because of totm?! Who knows!

Happy weekend and good luck for a fresh week tomorrow! I'm off to steam my face x

 

[RebekahR]

Your doing fantastic hunny, well done Xx

 

[Ela ine]

Thank you <3
Day 5?!

Today I have had a strawberry shake, a chocolate shake and some tuna.

Going to have a lemon bar or another strawberry shake tonight.

Definitely in ketosis now! Well I'm lead to believe I am thanks to the sticks and lack of hunger.

Woooooo!! So just need to make sure I DRINK MORE water! Geeeez!

Exercise: 1 hour swim. Can't wait to get weighed! xx

P.s two weeks today 'till the cruise

 

[RebekahR]

Glad your over the tough bit, the rest is plain sailing
