06th March 2008 - Day Three

Two days down and on to day three, have a feeling today is going to be the worst, ketosis mouth and a headache to start with.
I guess i should be pleased, I didnt sleep too well last was up for the loo a couple of times, sitting down to my first glass of water of the day and a black coffee along with 2 paractemol.
Unfortunatley im on the same shift at work today so i dont start till 4.30pm so lots of sitting around again today, i might have to resort to doing some housework.

Past and present

Day One 29th april 2007

Well I have started on the Cambridge Diet
Had a shake first thing (toffee and walnut) whch wasnt as bad as i thought it would be, although seemed to keep the taste in my mouth for ages.
Had my second shake about an hour ago (Chocolate) which was very yummy, having been steadily drinking glasses of water and i had a cup of black tea earlier with tablet sweetners.
Later on im going to have my first cambridge diet soup (Broccoli and Cheese) and to finish off the day my last shake of the day (Vanilla).
Havnt really felt hungry today yet although do get a twinge everytime i go in to the kitchen, i have lost count the times i have had to go the bathroom already today
feeling fairly mellow although i did get very cross earlier as my neigbours are in the garden having a BBQ using my BBQ and they didnt ask first, and although the garden is communal its me who went and brought a lawn mower, strimmer and the plants etc and its me who looks after the garden GRRRRR.
I think they have got the messsage about using my BBQ in future.

As of starting today i weigh 17 stone 11lbs im looking to get down to just above my ideal weight of 14 stone and a healthy BMI of 25, trouser size 42/44 at the moment hoping to get down to a 36.


Day One 04 March 2008

Well that was just under a year ago and here i am again day one of cambridge, for me this time i weigh almost 20 stone and im looking to lose 5 stone still in time for the summer when the kids come stay.My first shake is most likly going to be mint choc chip with a soup later chicken and veg a tetra for work chocolate and another shake strawberry before bed. Im know there have neen new flavours introduced but to be honest dont what they are yet.Since then i have found a girl friend, moved in to a house together, got engaged, set a date ( the next blue moon) and most importantly got my head together, now is the time to shift the weight more so than last year, my knees are giving me constant pain from the extra pressure of the weight ,im getting pains in my calf muscles and my clothes do not fit.My goal to lose 5 stone to lose 8 inches off my waist and my clothes to fit.

25th January - Motivation Zero

One of those weeks i have to say, No weigh in for me last night as i was working.
Motivation ZERO.
I am going to stick to the sliming world plan for the next week. But to be honest if i feel the same way this time next week im going back on to cambridge which i know is a lot harder to stick to and a much harsher regime but i got results last time.

Slimming World The First Week Weigh In

Im very pleased to report a 4lb loss, despite my two naughty days.
I must admit at the time i was feeling a bit disopointed but on hindsight if i keep it up over the next few weeks that will be a stone gone and and a sixth of my target weigh to lose gone.

Today (Friday) Im having a red day so far have had Half a bag of clementines, (yum) 3 muller fruity yougurts and a 500g pack of sliced gammon, minus the fat from good old asda.
Tonight im looking forward to pork chops, steamed vegetables, boiled mushrooms and if i have space a fried egg done in frylite.

Day Two Slimming World Blown It All Away........

Big oppps Started the day off badly continued that way.
As my 125scooter is in for repair my dearest oh kindly agreed to take me down to the train sattion for the 5.28am train. I had no sooner got on said train when i realised i had left my pass either at home or it had fallen out in my coat into the car, so a very quick exit from the train and a couple of frantic phone calls my darling drove back from home to the train station all at 05.40ish am.
Fortunatley my pass was in the back of the car, so after 45 mins wait for the next train on my way merrily up to leicester to see the kids.

Before i left home i had 2 weetabix with milk, I had a couple of coffees on the train and some still flavoured water no sugar.
When i met the kids we went to one of the local pubs that has a play area for a treat for my daughters birthday which is monday.
I had allready decided i was having a red day so had rump steak topped with stilton (3syns but worth it) mushrooms and peas and a jacket potato so far so good.....and then for the pudding a very nice slice of chocolate birthday cake (6.5 syns) not so bad but i had another peice on the way home ooops, there is worse to come.
When i got back to waterloo i popped into m&s to get something for the rumbly tum picked up some ham (Free) bananas which i had one a couple of fruit smoothies very nice 150g of balckberries and the bigest mistake of the day i also brought a pack of mixed nuts of which i have eaten half , a very big no no no NO.... 1,5 syns per walnut half alone. so today is totally blown Back to it tommorow.

Thursday 3 January 2008

Well today is the day, my first sw meeting this evening along with my oh (newbeginnings).
I must admit i bit worried still that i am actually going to be able to stick to the plan IE red day green free foods seems to complicated by half but i guess i will get there or go back to CD.
I'm going to give SW a months trial and take it from there still looking to lose about 4 stone but guess i will decide that once i have got on the dreaded scales.

01 January 2008 - A New Year Message

Well I guess I should start by saying Happy new year to all.
And to many the first day of your journey to slimdom. Whether your planning on following weight watchers, slimming world, cambridge, lighter life, IE, Judd, atkins or just going to cut out the naughty things.
My own journey back to slimdom starts in few days time, why am i not starting today well in a way i guess i am, chocolate and crisps are out of bounds as of now as is the coke, instead i am going to have breakfast every morning drink less coffee, and get well and truly stuck in, in the next few days.
To all I wish A Very Happy New Year and good luck on your journey in 2008.
Me.
