Cambridge Diet part II

redcoltraine

Hey Sparkles

Hows it going?
It nice to have someone else to talk to. I’m on Day 2 and it’s not going too bad, quite enjoying it I have my moments when I could dive head first into a packet of crisps but I easily get over it and just drink some water.
What plan are you on, the full SS? Hows it going?
I’m on 810 and I really look forward to my little meal.
Last night’s meal turn out to be Spanish omelette and it was yummy, and when I looked at it on my plate it was like is this all but to be honest I wasn’t really hungry and the hunger pain seem to have gone away today. Today’s menu has been Strawberry Shake, Choc Tetra, Chicken and Veg for tea and then possible a hot/cold Choc later on.

Am going to have a nice hot bath when i get home from work and then put my Christmas tree up (best to keep myself distracted lol)

Happy Dayz

Hi Red,

Im on SS+, Although I tend to SS most of the time but the option is there if i feel I have to eat!

Off home soon (walk the dog when i get in instead of cooking) I dont find the diet difficult as such! although could murder a cheese and Marmite sandwich!!! (bit of a wierdo i know!)

Get weighed in in the morning at 930am (I weigh myself most days) I know so far since last week I have only lost a pound but I seem to have good weeks and bad weeks - I can loose 7 pounds 1 week then not alot the next week!

Morning Sparkles,
How’s it going? Good luck with the weigh in, fingers crossed for a nice lose.

I’m on day 3 and according to the this forum and the CD website, day 3 and 4 can be the worst, and I have woken up with a headache but I think that’s because I did drink enough water yesterday. Other than that I have woken up rather chipper, it’s almost like today and tomorrow are going to be tough but I am going to meet it smiling and with a positive state of mind, no sabotaging myself like I have done on previous attempts.

Oh, oh, oh, I actually tried a warm hot choc shake last night and I have to say it tasted better than it smelt, and by the end I quite enjoyed it.

Today’s lovely menu is

Strawberry Shake
Chocolate Velvet
Quorn Mince and Veggies
Mint Choc Shake

Yummy

How’s it going today?
Well Done on the 1lb lose – and the stone Hooray J at least you know your own cycle and even better you are onto the week that has a bigger lose so keep up the good work and your rewards will come at your next weigh in.

Day 4 for me and I think I’m officially having my carbs crash, woke up with a cracking headache (however it could also be a cold as I a bit of a cough as well so who knows).
Rather glad it is Friday it has been a very long week, and I got out of bed this morning, and couldn’t wait to get back into it tonight (not a good sign lol) Still plodding on with a smile on my face.

Today’s Menu is
Mint Shake
Choc Shake
Cod with poached egg and Veggies (recipe out of the book)
Choc Shake

Oh you probably won’t want to hear this so I shall whisper, I had Quorn Mince and Veggies last and could not believe how much you are allowed, so much could I not believe it that I emailed my CDC just to make sure I had read it right and to my shock it was right – it says you can have 279 – ish (can’t remember exactly) it’s almost a whole packet. This just seemed a little bit too much to be honest and if I had cooked it all I would not have been able to finish it, –(My CDC did say that everybody thinks that is way too much to eat in one sitting) so I weighed out half a packet (so I can have the other half another night) and just added a few more veggies and I was quite stuffed (well no actually happily full, topped off with a cup of tea and I was sorted for the evening)

Talk again soon

Morning

Day 5 of the CD diet and all is going well, made myself a lovely Cod, and veggies and a poached egg, last night as per the booklet i was given and to be honest I didn't really need the egg so next time (possible today) I may do it again but without the egg as I don't think it is needed.
We are going round the neighbours tonight for a christmas party thingy, which should be nice as I can control, they will have nibbles which I won't have and I shall take my own sparkling water.

Sparkles, I hope you enjoy your christmas do

Todays menu is
Mint Shake
Strawberry Shake
Cod and Veggies
Chocolate Shake

Ciao

Morning Red!

Christmas doo was Fab, Had a great night! The venue was very posh which was good as they were very small portions! Had the Crayfish and some Lettuce, The cod with some Broc and had half the Desert (which was to die for!!)

Not a drinker so had sparkling water all night! I only had one shake yesterday to allow for the meal so i dont really think i went much over what i was allowed any way!

will weigh myself tomorrow morning and see if its made any difference!

Had A choc shake for breakfast and am now at work till 3 so will have a soup for lunch!

Hows day 6 going?

Off to catch up on x factor!!

Your christmas do did sound fab and well done on only having half the desert

I have to say I have found the weekend harder than the week, its not that i was hungry although I am sure i didn't drink enough water it was just the habits, on several occasions I had stop myself thinking - I was home alone watching a movie and that used to be nibbles all round and my weights worth and there were times when I was like i could be eating........ or this or that or get a grip for crying out load that was the old ways and why you are now on a diet.
Also when i was round the neighbours which was fab they had like finger food and on several occasions I caught myself thinking I could just go and get this and that and the other and it was a shock because the thought had gone all the way to my feet and was about to move to go get whatever it was before I had even realised what I was thinking......
I didn't however give up and in moments of weaknes I had a glass of water
Also I was amazed at how much pressure people put on when your not drinking and everyone else its, its like let me get you a proper drink, why are your drinking water - really does it matter that much I mean, if i want to drink water stop hassling me grrrrrrr. I mean they were lovely about it but its almost like the law that i had to drink..... which made me want to not drink even more

I have my weigh in tonight which I am quite looking forward 2, as I will be starving by then. I am having 2 swap 2 of my tom soups as they are horrible and i said I could wait till she comes rpound later - so I have already had my meal - spanish omlette and I have a tetra for lunch but its the thought that I now have to go till 7 ish to get a shake and till tomorrow night to get foood - how will I cope - just keep drinking the water lol:D

So todays menu is
Omlette
Choc Tetra
Strawberry Shake
Choc Shake

Will report back later on how i get on
