DAY SEVEN

So I cracked... I ate two sandwiches, some Japanese rice crackers and bean jelly and had a couple of glasses of wine.

I'm not going to feel guilty about this.  I'm fed up of punishing myself all the time.  I didn't eat some massive unreasonable amount of food.

I don't really know what to do now.  Part of me thinks.. give it another go - maybe this time don't have bars for the first week - maybe that's what was stopping me getting into ketosis?  Another part of me thinks - eat sensibly until Tuesday, go your LL meeting.  The meetings always sort me out and maybe that's what I need?

Last time I started on a Wednesday morning and at my pop in on the Saturday morning I was in ketosis.   This time I started on a Tuesday morning and by Saturday night I still wasn't in ketosis - why?  I wonder if the fact that last time I was 18 stone and this time I'm 11 stone something has anything to do with it?

I guess I have to accept that if I want to do this I'm going to have to let go of running for a while.  I didn't run whilst on LL but I still swam and cycled - albeit not as much.  I have to focus on my essay writing and studying anyway I suppose - it's just that with the triathlon in August and the weather and long days I want to be feeling that exercise high!!

I have to keep reminding myself that it's just one month really - or at least it would be if I could get going properly.
