Cambridge Diet part II

redcoltraine

Hi Sparkles and anyone who is about to read......

I'm at the end of week 1 and day 7 is coming to a close and so far I have had a spanish omlette for breakfast and a ready made tetra for lunch.
After work I had a lovely hot bath - mainly to keep myself busy while I was waiting for my CDC to arrive with my final 2 packs of the day (which were swaps for 2 horrible soups) and also for my weigh and well

Last week I was 10st 10 and this week, drum roll please.....................
I'm 10st 2 - that a whole 8 pounds in 1 week and i can't stop smiling, it just makes me want to get up and jig. Now I know I won't get anywhere never that next week but what good start and I could see the mythical 9st something next week for the first time in years.....
Now i know to some people I don't have a lot to lose but for me I do - plus im a food-a-holic and how many people on the build up to christmas can say they have lost any weight at all
I'm rambling a bit now and Sparkles I do hope your having such a good week, I can't wait to get cracking on week 2.
Oh and a girl at work said to me have you lost weight and I just smiled the smile of someone who knows something she doesn't (I haven't told anyone except my OH and 1 girl)

Also the plan for christmas is coming along and my OH is doing all the food stuff and the cooking and he's asking me what I want and everything...

You know what, I might just be able to pull this off

Gooooodddddd byeeee the old Me:D

Afternoon All
Day 8
Still can’t believe last night weigh in, should keep me going for a while at least, although, I have woken up all worn out this morning and quite thirsty, its probably all the excitement from last night – worn myself out... either that or I went for a run in my sleep J
Not struggling though as I can now see 9st something and I hope to hit that next week. I should be better once I have had my meal later, just got to keep working.
Today’s menu is,
Choc Tetra
Strawberry Shake
Quorn and Veggies
Choc Tetra

Afternoon Sparkles

Well it’s all gone pete tong, (not the diet) but I have just written a fab post and its disappeared – so not happy about that!
Anyway, it is Day 9 of the diet and I have to say I am struggling – not hungry but I think I am mentally worn out – it is a constant mind over habit thing I guess and it is wearing me out, or i guess it could be last end of the cravings kicking in as I could dive head first into a sandwich. It doesn’t help that there are tins and tins of chocolate going around and mince pies and everyone is all Christmas foody – i’ll eat what I like in the office today. There’s a guy sitting not far from me and he’s eaten a sandwich a packet of crisps a packet of biscuits and he now has his healthy section fruit – I’m just shaking my head.
Also I had to pop into asda earlier and I ended up stood staring at the cheese section – just staring – taking them all in – all the Christmas one and I was seconds away from just driving into them lol
I won’t and I will keep plodding on but isn’t it meant to be getting easier by now, oh well

Todays menu
Choc Tetra
Choc Shake
Chicken and Veggies
Mint Choc Shake

Happy Dayz

I will not give in

Afternoon Red!

Im having a struggling day! big time! Had horrible stomach ache most of the night and didnt get much sleep so am grumpy today! Had had enough earlier and was saying I couldnt do it any more - However that has passed and feel better again now. Im in it for the long haul just got to keep plodding on!

My Office is the same - Full of Chocolates, sweets and christmasy things! Its so hard because of it being mind of matter! Im not hungry at all but head is saying "just have one!"

Weigh in tomorrow morning at 9.30, hoping I have lost more than just one pound this week but either way a loss in a loss!

Im drinking sparkling water today - Must have picked up the wrong bottle in Asda - nice to have a change in flavour thou, Supposed to be having a soup for lunch but i just cant face it!

Onwards and Upwards!

Morning Sparkles
Good Luck with your weigh in. I have a feeling and it’s not based on anything but I don’t think I am going to lose anything this week. I am following the diet 100% but I just don’t think I will ever the optimist.
Feeling much better today, not as worn out but I did go to bed last night telling myself to sort myself out and get on with it, and that I will wake up more positive – seems to have work.
I am going out for my team Christmas lunch soon, wish me luck – I plan to have an omelette and salad or grilled chicken and salad but its a pub and might just order a big bowl of chips lol – must be good, must be good – diet diet diet

Had a Choc Tetra so far and I’ll have 2 more shakes later on tonight – probably chocolate.

Will report back how I got on at the pub later J

Ciao for now

Afternoon Sparkles

Well I did us dieters proud at lunch today. I was surrounded by chips and all things naughty and I could of had anything off a pub menu – including drinks and I had a plain omelette with lettuce and a couple of slices of red pepper and that was it – I picked the tomatoes and red onion off and sent the omelette that arrived covered in cheese back. How good am I. :T
I have also decided to give myself Christmas eve, Christmas day and Boxing day off – not gonna go 2 mad to I think I need a nice break.

Just got 2 shakes left for today and then that’s another day ticked of the chart

Hope you did ok at weigh in

Almost home time

Afternoon Sparkles

Not doing too good today, really struggling, I really want a sandwich can’t explain it I just need/want a sandwich. Haven’t cracked yet I took myself off for a walk just to give myself something to do other than eat.
How bad do you think a quality street would be – its either that or a tin of mackerel lol
Am also struggling to get warm, have been freezing most of the morning which means I’m not drinking my water as I am too cold – which in turn is probably making me want a sandwich. God this is exhausting L
Anyway Plodding ever on

Well the weigh in is 10st 1 which is a few more pounds down, but I'm afraid this is me signing off till the new year - there is no way I can keep it going during the festive season and keep my sanity but I shall be back in the new year to shift the few pounds I will have no doubt put on.
I hope you have a great christmas and all the best for the new year and thanks for keeping me company over the last 2 weeks
