Hi everyone

Thank you Jo

How are you doing.

I've been feeling quite drained - could be the heat too.

Think I need to sort out the vitamin supplements too. Probably not getting enough with cutting down

Hi - this heat is really affecting me today - haven't managed to eat much at all well the liquids lol and just feel out of sorts - can't believe I'm saying this but hope it's cooler tomorrow!

 

I know how you feel. It is supposed to be hottest today though.

Its been 38 in my area.

I've had "cool summer" food today and plenty fluids.

Small bowl of crunchy nut (actually put crushed ice in with the milk made it cooler n less fattening lol)

Sweet corn cobette lunch and now having crispy chicken with a spoonful of coleslaw potato salad and sweet corn salad.

Still early days for you, you wont be very hungry.  I'm week 3 and every week that passes I can eat more as my body adjusts.  Just keep the fluids up.  Dont know where you are, (i'm in the Yorkshire Dales) its humid and just finished raining.  Flying midges everywhere!  But at least its cooler today ;-)x

I'm in Swindon Wiltshire. It's been raining on n off n cooler here today as well.

No Jo I was originally banded 3 years ago and had my portsite adjusted 6 weeks ago so I am getting hungry too and sometimes eating more or less.

Just taking each day as it comes :D

HI Sim,

Yes its blood sugar, although since I started having my nutribullet, I also put L'glutamine and spiralina in it my sweet cravings have subsided.  I'm happy with a glass or dilute or try an ice lolly.  There are loads of low cal ones and it will take a while to eat it!.  I didn't get home until late so I didn't log on.  Got in at 7.40pm, got changed and went for a 40 minute walk, I must be nuts I was drenched when I got back.  I'm upping my excercise as my appetite has totally come back and i'm eating between 1000 - 1200 cals a day.  Get my first fill in 3 weeks.  :-0 x

Thank Jo

It's good you've got your appetite back, just be conscious of it. I know you'll be great coz ur really focussed :D good luck for your fill but I'm sure we'll chat before then

Thank jo

Sounds like you had a great weekend enjoyment wise lol.

I was bad Friday evening nibbles - had pack of quavers,spoon of ice cream

Saturday daytime went with kids to summer party n had a couple of mini chocolate chip muffins and 2 mini burgers n mini pieces of quiche. On the way home my son wanted a fresh pasty so I had a steak slice too.

Evening dinner - no I'm going to be good now lol didn't last. Sitting watching movie with kids nibbling on popcorn.

Yesterday was a bit better. Had a small roll late morning then was full till evening was going to have spicy cottage cheese for dinner and protein but it went out the window when I made the kids pizza n chips.

Didn't have the pizza but had a small bowl of chips with some gravy.

(Normally would have had the pizza and chips)

As you say though we are only human and will have a bad day or 2 but we can just forget about it and get back on track.

At least you had your walk and burnt off a bit of yours :D

Just having a porridge now.

Sensible, nah the walk hardly made a dent.... ha ha, had my nutribullet, nice this morning, soup for lunch sensible tea... well its a weekend thing, dont know what it is, however I suppose if I dont buy it I cant eat it, maybe just get the wotsits this weekend ha ha.......... this is only to be so hard, as my weakness is wine.  I start out with good intentions!

Spicy cottage pie sounds yum, at least you only had small portions!!!!  it will kick in tomorrow when my nutritionist phones and I have to tell her I stayed the same.  But this is were I need to test myself this weekend... do I really need it.  New motto, need or greed lol!! I have put a little notice on my fridge, failing to plan is planning to fail!!!!  next to my fridge magnet that says 'back away fatty' that didn't work on Friday, need to embed the message this week ha ha ha ...... jo x

Hahaha

Back away fatty - love it

I'm actually quite surprised at how I'm resisting chocolate though. I've got biscuit bars in the house for the children and had a chocolate orange that I had bought for myself a few weeks ago. (Normally would demolish it within cople of days) frozen it and only had two pieces so far.

Try and get your husband or children to help.

Me and my husband don't talk much and don't think he's noticed if I've lost any or not as we're not as a standard couple now. But my daughter is helping and taking things away or saying "you don't need that" because I talk to her that I've lost the weight and want to carry on and get healthy to be able to do a bit more with them.

She knows how much it means to me

Good idea, think I will do!  I haven't told that many people so its hard.  Also some of those people I suspect wouldn't be so supportive, hence not telling them.  

Ps yes I thought the magnet was funny too.  Have a good day, I am, ill check in tomorrow ha ha :-) x

ps well sone with the orange! discipline ha 

Yeah I haven't told many either - like you said many wouldn't be supportive and may give negative vibes.

Ha-ha not sure how much orange was actually in that lol

Another thing I've found good are the quorn products. Very good in protein and low in calories.

I like the mini kievs. There tasty and 6/8 of them are filling and not many calories. So you can have a tasty treat and not be guilty about it :D
