When am I going to learn? 84.2kgs

 Monday 84.2kgs

Well what do you know!  After a week of being stuck and the week before being a week of up and downing, today I had a whoosh!  I keep saying 'Trust the process' but then let the scales make me doubt it and I let them make me feel so low.  84.2kgs is bloody amazing and a figure I never thought I would see.  Yesterday was a real achievement and I wrote about it at length on yesterdays blog update.  I fasted all told for 23 hours and then ate my dinner, some fruit and then closed my window.  I felt amazing all day.  Long bike ride, spinning, knitting and just felt like I was floating around in a cloud of healthyness.  I wish I could bottle how I felt.  So today is another day and I am going with the flow.  I want this to be another OMAD day, a literal OMAD day, not the 'one meals' that I have allegedly been doing which really have been one long 4 or 5 hour bingefest.  
My thoughts on yesterday is that I didn't drink so much.  I also didn't do the pink salt.  I did drink several cups of instant coffee with no side effects apart from the one I had in the late afternoon but as soon as I got busy the slight buzzing went.  I also kept busy and of course did a big exercise.  Which of the above is the one that caused the whoosh?  One other thing that may have made a difference is that for 3 days I haven't had any alcohol.  All facts to ponder.

The plan for dinner tonight is quiche with salad and some kind of veg.  Now quiche isn't keto and by the time I get to this evening I will decide what to eat.  There is still chicken left from last night and some cauliflower mash and so I can have that if I want it instead.  I am going to not drink so much and not do the pink salt today.  I will drink the coffee.  I am going to take Lilly out for a ride on the bike and later I am hopefully going to take her for a walk.  Every little helps!

To say I am feeling high on my numbers today is an understatement.  I feel amazing and clever and wonderful and positive.  I must come back and read this page of my blog on all those days when the numbers go up.  This is not a linear process for me.  I just need the trend to be down on a monthly basis.

Today I am grateful for

Intermittent Fasting for getting me to where I want to go.

This blog which is helping me to understand myself better and to dig deep and be honest with myself.

Life.  Life feels good today and it is going to get better and 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.
