Weekly Summary
A Good Week
What can I say? Has a new regime begun? Euphoric thrills are running through my veins. I’m delighted to build on the success of last week and feel like I’ve got my weight loss mojo back. Whilst I’m disappointed to lose two months, a measure of the change within is I never gave up and continued to try to lose weight. Previously, I’d have given up by now and returned to every one of my old habits.
I’ve deciphered I’m never going to be able to give up every bad habit but the best approach is to stay focused and keep trying!
Lower Carb Diet
Adjusting Settings
I’ve set my diet on the My Net Diary app to low carb, just over 100g a day. And you’d be amazed how that can quickly be gobbled up if you eat something high in carbs. Having had such a good week, I treated myself to a baguette from Lidl. We bought a cheese spread called Puck (which is very low in carbs ironically!) and I ate this combination for breakfast. How many carbs in one baguette??? 54! So half the allocated carbs in one foul swoop! Due to the relatively high carb count, I’ve cut down on baked beans, lentils and other beans. I’ve consumed a lot of full-fat mayonnaise and cream in coffee all week.
Saturday Off
I know how many carbs are in bread but I’ve decided to take Saturday off carb-wise but still try and count calories at least. For once, I’d a rough idea of exactly how many calories every day. It’s easy to take a day off and go wild especially when there’s been excellent weight loss. But, I’m on a ride which I don’t want to get off!
Feeling Fantastic!
Has A New Regime Begun?
If so, it’s well overdue. I feel like I’ve taken control back but remain constantly challenged as I’m only a heartbeat away from cracking and my ‘happy pills’ stop me from going over the edge. I learned a lot in those two barren months of nothingness about how I should behave and what I need to do to gain success. I’ve not felt this good since posting the Perfect Day blog at the start of February. However, I let things slip and the barren spell began.
Because I failed the last time I was feeling this good, there is a determination not to fall for the same traps. As I walked my freeloading friend listening to the tremendous new album by Pearl Jam, this gave me much time for deep thought. The little fella was more interested in sniffing grass and getting stuck behind road signs than chasing his toy. This gave me contemplation time as I stared into his gorgeous but confused little face.
The Week Ahead
I’m rush publishing this shorter-than-usual weigh-in blog because today, I have the biggest challenge yet. One which could fail spectacularly. But, I’m determined not to fail. I could fall at the first hurdle and ruin everything I’ve worked hard for over the past two weeks. Last Saturday was a trial run, that’s the only hint I’m giving.
What on earth am I wittering on about? I’m not disclosing for now but will be reporting as soon as I possibly can.
