A good day. Day 5 AF

 Saturday Day 5 AF

So today I fasted until about 1pm and then had 3 eggs and some lardons.  We went out for a ride on the bike to Riberac where we had a coffee and I visited some lovely shops.  I also went to L'Eclerc and managed to get a huge piece of belly pork.
We came home and I cooked Mike some nice vegetarian pasta and sauce and I had some chicken thighs with a couple of eggs.  I couldn't eat it all.

All in all a nice day and also I did not have a drink.  I nearly talked myself into having a drink as I have been listening to a book about giving up alcohol.  It talks about people who are addicted to alcohol and get drunk every night and have a hangover but honestly I am not like that.  I do have a drink every day whilst I'm cooking dinner but I rarely have more than 2 and I never ever drink after dinner.  So I was arguing with myself that if I was only having one or two then surely there is no problem.  I really don't think that there is a problem but I also do not think that it would be good to get back to not drinking most of the time and maybe only drinking in company.  I should get out of the habit of drinking whilst I am cooking because that is really just a habit.  

I am going to try not to weigh myself tomorrow morning and then I will weigh on Monday and hopefully I will be down into the 86's.  Fingers crossed.  I have been very good and not had any carbs at all apart from one teaspoon of sugar which I had in my yoghurt.  We shall see what the scales say.

Fingers crossed for Monday and tomorrow the plan is much the same.  Bacon and eggs when I can't fast any longer and then I'll probably have steak for dinner and do Mike something else, probably chilli and rice or baked potato.

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.
