Damage limitation or just Keep Calm and Carry On? 86.9kgs

 Wednesday 31st May 2023

So yesterday was a disaster.  Or was it?

Ok so I ate way too much at lunch but seriously 'Did I have a great time'?  Yes I really did have a great time.  In the day I ate all the things but I only had one glass of wine.  In the evening I was still full but was trying to future proof myself as I had the idea I would fast today as a down day.  So I ate a load of peanuts.  No real problem there.  But the thing I really did badly was having about 3 glasses of wine.  Not good and I paid for it by not sleeping well and having a mouth like the bottom of a bird cage.  However I feel fine this morning.  I weighed and I was 86.9 so nothing really tragic there.

I have a plan for today.  I have done my Pilates this morning.  I am doing my blog now.  I am going out on my bike shortly with the dog to see if I can train her better with the bike.  

As far as eating is concerned I would like this to be a down day so not eat anything and if I can't do that then I will try and do a very low calorie day.  I am not going to sweat it and if I can't do that then I am going to do 22/2.  I plan to be flexible.  I am losing weight now and losing well so there is no reason to panic.  Nothing is lost.  I haven't fallen off the wagon.  There is no wagon.  I am just fasting again today.  I fasted yesterday until midday so nothing to see here!!

I am happy.  I measured my waist this morning and it was 39.5 so I reckon I have lost 3.5 inches since we were in Spain.  I can't find the paper I wrote all my measurements down on sadly.   I am feeling really good and very positive.  I am on track to be 85kgs by the beginning of August.

I listened to Stuarts meditation the other day and it was all about self love and it was so beautiful.  It suggested thinking of things you love about yourself whilst concentrating on the heart Chakra.  It felt so nice.  As a response to this I intend to reflect every day on 3 positive things that either happened today or I felt today or that I am grateful for today.

So at the moment I am grateful for IF coming into my life.                                                                          I am wearing my shorts/skirt known as a skort and I feel really nice in it.  I feel slimmer and sexier.        I have a plan for my day and I love a plan and I love a list even better!!!

Week 5 and dose increase - 89kgs 14 st

 Gosh this is so tough.  I read all these people who are losing shed loads of weight and have no food noise and have to force themselves to eat.  If only! I have learned a saying whilst on the FB grou0s and that is 'Comparison is the theif of joy'.  This is so true.  I'll tell you something else that is the their of joy...l the bloody scales.  There is nothing more guaranteed to make you feel like crying than that square foot of glass.  But hey ho it is what it is. So today is the first of the 5mg dose.  I have to admit I am scared and really i had planned to take it yesterday but kept putting it off.  This morning I knew I had to do it and so I did the full 5ml into my belly.  I had been toying with the idea of doing a 3/4 dose but I am paying all this money to lose weight and it needs to bloody happen, otherwise it's just a waste of time and money.  There is still some liquid in the 2.5ml pen and I feel passed off that I might hav...

Week 6 - 5mg - 88.3kgs 13 st 12lb Read this often!!

 It's not exactly going fast.  I find it so disheartening when I read the massive losses people are having on the lower dose and on this dose but in only a couple of weeks.  It is what it is.  I am not exercising but I am so fucking tired all the time. I don't seem to have the energy for exercise.  I am trying to be careful about calorie intake and also protein but maybe I am not as careful as I could be.  I am not starving and I am trying to make this a way of eating that is sustainable.  I don't want to be not eating bread for the rest of my life.  If I want a bit of bread then I can have it after of course considering how the day is going. I weighed myself 2 days ago and I was 87.2kgs.  OMG I wanted to cry.  Sadly it didn't last as you can see from the numbers at the top.  I do reckon that alcohol is something which affects my weight loss.  I have not drunk wine and only had spirits with water.  Either vodka or spiced r...

Week 2 - 90 kgs 14 st 2lbs

 Week 2 Last week was quite surprising as I really had no side effects but also didn't have any positive effects like food noise reducing.   Well I don't think I did.   I did eat more healthily though.  I ate what I wanted and had bread and chocolate but not in excess and I think am thinking about food differently.   A couple of times I have left food on my plate, and a couple of times I have thrown food away where normally I would have forced myself to finish whatever was on my plate and I would definitely have put it in the fridge for later.  The scales have gone down but as they are mechanical scales it's hard to say exactly how much.  Today I took a photo of the scales so that I can compare. I think I have lost 2lbs but that is fine because at no time was I feeling like I was on a diet or deprived.
