Thanks for the compliments Angel and Katy
I can't believe I actually enjoy getting ready for a night out now
Angel, I had a few meals and functions planned as we all do all through my CD journey and I would always go for the carb free options on a menu if out, like steak, chicken or gammon with egg, mushrooms and green salad and then I would immediately SS 100% the next day onwards until my next planned meal. Lately I have been taking the weekends off (well sort of) I SS 100% mon - thurs and then Friday I have packet chicken - you know the little trays of cold chargrilled chicken pieces (one packet split into two meals) for breakfast (well brunchish) and lunch with lettuce, cucumber and pickled red cabbage and then either fish, steak or some other protein with a bit of veg or salad for my evening meal..... i have every now and again enjoyed 1 sausage, 1 slice bacon and an egg if I have been away and breakfast is paid for but I try and stay under 500 - 600 calories and the one thing I don't touch at all is carbs.
I know a lot of people won't agree with how I have done the CD journey but my CDC told me from the beginning that it has to fit into my life and I need to do whatever works for me and this works for me
I also try and do 20 mins a day on the cross trainer especially if I am going out for a meal or having a nice meal in with my partner...
The only time I introduced carbs was during xmas week when I took 3 days off and it was so hard to get back into ketosis that I promised myself never again!!!
Good luck on your journey I am sure you will do brilliantly xxxx
