It's not linear so trust the process. 85.7kgs

 Friday 85.7kgs

It would be so easy today to be down because my numbers have gone up.  But I am getting used to my body and how it works and realise that the progress is rarely linear.  I am up 200g on yesterday but I fasted for 22 hours.  It makes you wonder how can that be?  I did eat probably too much when I broke my fast but nothing really horrific.  I did have some potatoes for my dinner and I didn't eat the protein which was salmon.  I just didn't fancy it.  Because we were at the hospital yesterday I know I didn't drink enough.  I barely drank one water bottle full.  I think this could have had a massive bearing on things.  I will drink at least 2 bottles today and maybe I will cut back on the salt a bit as yesterday at the hospital my BP was a massive 190/90.  It must have been stress because I checked it when I got home and it was 140/80 but I don't want to put any pressure on my body. 

The hospital appointment was a bit of a disappointment as I thought he would sign me off to go gallop into the sunset and not look back.  However that was not the case and all he kept saying was that I need to be careful, especially around the cycling and exercise.  I was quite shocked about this.  I have to have another 48 hour monitoring session in September and then an appointment with the consultant in November.  It's good that they are keeping an eye on me but I don't want to be treated like an invalid and that is the way Mike is being.  He is being ultra cautious and it makes me even more stressed.  It will all work out I am sure.

So todays plan is to drink plenty.  Cut back on the salt a bit.  Fast for 18 hours at least.  Eat very low carb.  Not snack before or after I open my window.  Use the brine and coffee to support my fast.

Today I am grateful for

Showing up!  That is all for today.  I'm not in the mood.

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.
