53 days to go
18.3 lbs to go !!!!!
Going up!!!! 😔
So yesterday I did well.. avoided apple strudel.. my hands were too sore and tremors too bad to peel apples for myself to stew with cinnamon, as was my plan.
So I had strawberries instead.
Cooked roast beef and avoided potatoes and yorkshires ( and strudel and custard and ice-cream)
Was feeling very smug with myself - 14g net carbs woohoo.🎉🎉
Adpully suggested I'd need a 1200 kcal deficit per day and Doobrie told me how to look it up. Apparently I am doing this already ...Spent a lot of the day tidying and cleaning.. sat down to read the paper at 10.30pm, even though I had bought it at 9am.. but I think the fs exercise values are for someone who moves faster than me.. my disabilities slow me down. I am awaiting 2 more back surgeries, which may happen before the wedding, so I'll have to get as physically active as possible!now! Physio has said I can try exercise bike from today.. but ankle is still swelling when I stand.🤔
Then disaster struck.. had a really bad migraine.. too nauseous to take my pain meds.. had 2 slices of whole meal toast.. settled the migraine, but made me feel I'd really let myself down😔 after trying so hard all day till 11pm. I rarely eat after dinner, to start my overnight fast)
Went shopping with OH yesterday.. forgot the cheese , but remembered nuts. There are now no krackerwheat/cream crackers/biscuits in the house to tempt me.
Plan:
Cut down on tea, so less milk to reduce carbs
Fast until 3pm for 16 hr fast- to make up for eating at 11pn
Drink water instead of tea all day
Finally achieve under 20g net carbs.. and don't sabotage myself later
I know shit happens, but I have to stop sabotaging my efforts 😡
Thanks for the advice Adpully, otherwise I won't lose this weight and I'll be crushed by disappointment if I miss this chance.
Finally, after I hit 153.9 lbs, I have been inspired by fs friends to aim for 149.9lbs.. this will mean since Feb 2014 I will have lost 50lbs, 25% of my starting weight.. thus is doable if I give myself a big kick up the backside and concentrate 😊😊😊😊
Aiming to have a successful Monday fs friends... and I hope you do too!!😎

Poppy - I'm sure the 1/2 lb will be just the weight from the toast plus water as you ate it so late at night. It will be gone again tomorrow. I never put my day to day activities into the Google exercise chart, except for sleeping, walking and my Wii exercises. I usually put in slow walking as I think the calories look about right (i.e. not very many) unless I've been walking enough to get slightly out of breath for over 1/2 hour, then I put moderate walking in. The things like housework are way out, unless they mean really heavy housework - the type that makes sweat run down your face - lol! As you move so slowly, I would just put in your sleep and work from there or treat yourself to a fitbit. Have a great Monday and I hope you don't get any more migraines 🙂

Thanks Doobrie
I'll keep putting the activity in as it encourages me to get off the sofa. It also acts as a reminder of how far I've improved physically since I started losing weight.. many of these activities that others take for granted were impossible for me a year ago.....
And I spent 13 years spending 3 days a week standing as a newsagent , so my body can do without excess sitting down 😂
Think I'll take the exercise values with a pinch of salt then 😁

Poppy, you are doing great! Your persistence is wonderful to see, and would be inspiring if you were a fit person, but with your disabilities it goes beyond inspiring, and I can't even think of a suitable word! Can somebody help me? When I log activities, I tend to reduce the amount of time spent in order to make the calories look reasonable, so I might put 5 minutes instead of 30, to example. But I do agree with you that you should log whatever helps to motivate you best. Keep doing what you're doing. Your amazing!

I know about the sabotage. I'm not into crisps or crackers, but I do so love brownies. I miss them terribly.

Nanette61 check out mission1 brownie bars by muscletech they have a fairly low calorie and carb hit and are about 21g of whey protein. I'm a chocolate fiend so I order them from Amazon every month to curb my brownie cravings. I've also had bariatric surgery so it helps me get my required amount of protein into my diet. 🤷🏻♀️

Poppy, you might just enter it all as slow walking since that's what you are doing? I do that quite often on the housework since it's a great deal of moving this way and that. 🤷🏻♀️

Good idea, Poppy. I decided to take my own advice and buy a fitbit type fitness tracker. I spent hours researching them today and found nearly all are unsuitable for people with nickel allergies. Anyway, I did find one eventually that's £26 and has a lot of good reviews so I've ordered that. Hope you've enjoyed your Monday 🙂
