Ok... so I haven't updated this for a few weeks. Oops. I have a really good excuse though, I had an operation and then I was in plaster, so couldn't type! Had my elbow operation on 23rd May, and it ended up being a much bigger operation than planned. I should have had an ulnar nerve release and tendon repair, which is a 20 minute operation. Instead they found that the nerve was dislocated when they went in, so ended up having to relocate it completely, so a 20 minute operation became a 2 hour operation! ... read more »
Those of you who know me well, know that I am a fan of energy drinks! My favorite is Monster and 5 Hour Energy, but Ive had to lay off of them. I know they arent good for me. I always end up using them everyday like a maniac and before you know it, Im [] read more »
Totally amazing! Just when I finally gained 1kg a few days back, my weight has dropped again when I weigh myself today! If I lose 2 more kgs I'll finally achieve my ideal weight! Wooohooooo~ Over the last few years I've been feeling fat and wanting to lose 7-10kgs which some of my friends think I'm totally insane as they all think I'm already looking fine. But girls being girls, we are never satisfied with how we look, even if the whole world thinks you're already slim and looking good, somehow we sti... read more »
Can't believe it - lost another 2lb this morning! This means I have now lost 4 of the 5 pesky pounds I gained when I came out of ketosis - happy with that! So back to 6st 5lb/89lb lost - Hurrah! My Wii Fit shows 18st 1lb, so might see the 17's on it before my op on Thursday, or at least by the end of the month hopefully!Off to hospital again today for my pre-op appointment. Booked the day off work as need to sort stuff out before my operation. Need to think about packing some stuff really - exciting stuf... read more »
So stupidly busy trying to get everything sorted out. Shopping yesterday to pick up a few bits, lots of washing today (still searching for the elusive bottom of the washing basket I have heard so much about), and thinking about packing stuff at some point. Will be staying at Dad's for a couple of nights, Chloe will be staying at my friends for two nights also.Saw the Consultant on Friday. I am now being operated on by a different Consultant to the one I saw a few weeks back. This one has decided that I n... read more »
Last spring I had reached a point when I desperately wanted to part ways with an extra 5lbs that were clinging to me for dear life so when I casually mentioned this to my doctor, aplastic surgeon who does my Botox injections (yes, I admit that I do it and Restylane!), he suggested a diet that he recommends to his patients who need to lose a bit of weight before having a tummy tuck or liposuction. Long sentence, I realize!My girlfriend Cathy, and fellow-blogger (check out Marigolds and Mountains), asked m... read more »
Woo hoo... 3lb off this week! That takes me to 90lb/6st 6lb lost! Smashing stuff.Struggled with my head a bit this week, and definitely have eaten more than I had planned - have stayed pretty much with "safe" 810 style food, but have had more of it than I had planned. Today I have resolved to Sole Source for the next 7 days (including today). Though saying that today so far I have only had a bar... completely forgot to take anything to work with me! So today I have just had lots of fluids then had a bar ... read more »
Ok I have finally completely lost track of days. Had to happen eventually! Do know it is less than 100 days til my holiday now, guess that is the only date that really counts!Last night I went and saw The Levellers live in Reading. Went on my own, stood at the front, danced like an idiot for 2 hours, drank only water and had an amazing time!!!! First saw them play something like 18 years ago, and they are still the best live band I have ever seen! So good in fact that I found out last night they are play... read more »
Ended up having quite a busy day - just for a change! I don't seem to to be very good at not having busy days at the moment! I guess the busier I am the less time I have to think!Chloe and I went swimming this afternoon - good exercise for both of us and lots of fun too. We then headed to Gunwharf to get something to eat. Ended up going to Zizzi again - their food is good, they have very healthy options (I had steak and mushroom salad - first meat I have eaten that is not white meat this year!) and they ... read more »
Can't believe 17 weeks have passed already - once you get in to the swing of this diet the time really really does fly! So week 18 starts tomorrow... I have also just calculated that it is 104 days until my holiday - YAY! That is actually slightly longer than I thought - would love to get another 4 stone off in that time! Entirely possible actually based on my loses so far - I am comfortably averaging above 4lb per week I think? 104 days is nearly 15 weeks, so may be able to lose more than that, however ... read more »
