Cambridge Weight Plan day 15

Today was a good day, I was buzzing from my weigh in yesterday and had a nice day at work. I can't believe I've lost a stone in two weeks, I don't think it has actually registered. Today I wore my smaller shorts to work, they were a bit snug but I think they looked good! In a week they probably won't be snug anymore anyway. These are the shorts that would fall off of me back in the summer of 2010. I'll get there! Today I had a coconut shake (it was okay, I've heard it is really good if you take half of the packet and mix it with half a pack of chocolate shake) then I had a choc pre made shake for lunch and an original porridge and I'm having oriental chilli soup for dinner (which I'm
Kinda struggling with)! I don't even want to eat a normal meal, ketosis has made my appetite disappear! You just have to deal with the dragon breath and everlasting periods (2 weeks and it isn't finished yet, lame or what). So the boyfriend is at work tonight so I'm flipping bored. Will probably just go to bed early! Night night dieters!

Cambridge Diet Plan Week 2 Weigh In

Good evening dieters! This evening (after a gruelling day at work) was my second weigh in and I am proud to announce to you all that I lost 6 lbs!! Making a total of 1 stone 1 lb in 2 weeks! Phenomenal! This diet truly works wonders! My appetite has completely died and I'm assuming my stomach has shrivelled up to the size of a grape. Work shorts are not quite big enough to replace with the smaller size, remember ladies, as Joan Rivers once said, "just cause it zips, doesn't mean it fits!" words to live by.

Cambridge Weight Plan Week 2

Today, Monday the 16th of July 2012, is day 12 on the Cambridge diet! And I'm feeling great. Yesterday morning I was dancing around the kitchen to radio 1 drinking a strawberry shake before work, and my shorts were falling down. Infact they are almost too big now! But I tried on the smaller size I have and even though they fit, they are a little too snug for comfort just yet. I have also purchased myself a bobble bottle, as I'm on a health kick I might as well be drinking filtered water. My housemate also bought a pink Brita filter jug, it's great! Although the first set of water tasted a little weird. So diet wise, my period has been really odd. It started a couple of days after I started the diet, right on time, however it's been really light and strange, and I'm still on now. I spoke to my consultant and apparently this is normal, when you are on sole source it usually monkeys with your "flow". Little win, the other night my boyfriend was having garlic bread and pizza (which I had to cook) followed by a Terry's chocolate orange and I didn't have any! Slightly tempted but resisted, and just had mushroom soup instead. Afterwards he felt sick and bloated and I felt fine :) karma!

Cambridge Weight Plan Day 7, Weigh In

So! Today was my first weigh in. I had almost convinced myself that I hadn't lost any weight because last night I was really naughty and ate a tin of tuna (not so naughty) wiiith two tablespoons of mayonnaise and some balsamic vinegar (naughty!) but I LOST 9 LBS! Miraculous. I'm so pleased!

Today I had a vanilla shake, hot, with a spoon full of instant coffee (Kenko Milicano, mmm), a chocolate shake and some spicy tomato soup but this time I DIDN'T mess it up! You mix it with a little cold water into a smooth paste and then add hot but NOT boiling water. The result - smooth and delicious!

Anyway I'm bushed, night night bloggers

Cambridge Weight Plan Day 6

Today is day 6, which means WEIGH IN TOMORROW! Very excited. i'm just keeping my fingers crossed that I have lost some weight, which I definitely have... I think... I hope! Today I have had the mango shake for breakfast, blended with ice to make a thick smoothie type drink, not my favourite I must admit, I might give them a miss in the future. I've had two chocolate tetra bricks during the day today and I'm going to have the apple cinnamon porridge for dinner.

Okay time for a confession, last night I was making my boyfriend a tuna sandwich for work aaaanddd... I had a tiny tiny bit of tuna. TINY, not even a forkful. And I don't feel bad about it, it was DELICIOUS. I'm considering doing the SS+ so that I can have a small meal in the evenings. But I'll probably continue with the SS for one more week before moving onto the SS+, god I just still want a big whopping curry... grrr..

I'm keeping myself motivated by thinking about how lovely it would be to have this excess 4 stone gone.... I CAN DO THIS!

Cambridge Weight Plan day 5

Today was particularly rough. I felt really lethargic at work, reeeally lazy, and I'm craving a big saucy curry with loads of papodams. To top it off, my boyfriend is dragging me to McDonalds to get dinner for him, so very unfair as I can't have any :( but I WON'T cave! I peed on a ketostick today and I am in ketosis, very happy about that! Just keep thinking backfat backfat backfat.... I am determined to succeed! So today I have had a cappuccino shake, original porridge, strawberry tetra brick (shake in a carton) and mushroom soup. All very yummy :) limited edition mango shake tomorrow! I might blend it with ice to make something special. For now I will spray myself with breath spray to keep the McDonald's envy at bay

Cambridge Weight Plan days 3 and 4

Today was day 4 on the Cambright Weight Plan! I've begun to feel more and more hungry between meals which I believe means that ketosis is going to kick in soon! Yesterday was the first day I had been at work while on the diet, and it was thoroughly successful. I had a strawberry shake for breakfast, very delicious, a strawberry carton shake on my first break, and I made some mushroom soup on my second break, everything was so yummy I couldn't believe it! The only thing I haven't liked so far was the maple pecan porridge... Not a fan, I don't think I will be getting any more of those. For dinner last night I had the spicy tomato again. Apparently I have been making it wrong which is why it has gone gritty. I have been mixing it with boiling water - mistake! You need to add some cold water, mix to a paste and then add hot but not boiling water to it, and whisk, and apparently then it doesn't go gritty! I shall be investigating this when I get some more. Today for breakfast it was the chocolate orange shake, which was good but not my favourite. Lunch at work was a chocolate velvet shake in the carton, which was nice but not as good as the strawberry. Second break was original porridge - oh my gosh SO GOOD! I really really enjoyed it, even though in preparation I spilt some up my arm (and it was blisteringly hot) and then lost half of it when it boiled over in the microwave :( but I'm having it again tomorrow it was so good. Looking forward to it too! Dinner was leek and potato soup, yum :). I am really looking forward to my weigh in on Wednesday! I can feel the benefits of the diet already. Firstly my work shorts are feeling loser! I don't feel like they are cutting me in half any more. I am going to burn my far clothes as soon as I can fit into my old ones from before I packed on the pounds. Secondly I haven't been bloated at all, a small miracle seeing as it is coming u to that time of the month. And I haven't farted once (over share perhaps). All positives! I did a ketone strip on day 2 (Friday) and it said I wasn't even nearly in ketosis yet, but I'm going to do another tomorrow or Tuesday, whenever I have time. Not looking forward to the stinky breast but thankfully my lovely consultant gave me some breath spray :) Good night bloggers xx
