Before After

Ugh

Today I feel horrible, I am not sure exactly why, just a combination of things, not least being back at work after 10 days off.

Luckily I don't feel like eating, the urge to eat emotionally is very low at the moment, for reasons I shall go into another time when I have more energy!

Also, we have very little food in the house, something that isn't realistically going to change until tomorrow night when we get the chance to go food shopping.

Last night we went out for my birthday meal, I had potted crab, steak and fries and treacle tart, very delicious but I couldn't eat like that every day (even though I used to eat way more than that in a standard evening a year ago). I definitely wouldn't eat three courses again, I haven't done that in more than a year and it was just too much. Two courses still feels like an amazing treat.

I shall now have four days of lovely healthy eating which I am sure will more than compensate in terms of weight and feeling well before my weigh in on Saturday. My aim for this week is very realistic anyway, so four days of 1900 calories, cutting back on junk and slotting in a few workouts should make it more than manageable.

I had some gorgeous birthday gifts - a ginormous bouquet of pink lilies and various other flowers, 2 big boxes of sugar free chocolates, kerastase hair stuff, Space NK bath stuff AND a cheque from my mum for clothes.

So I felt very spoiled.

Ok, sorry this is so nothingy again. When I am low, I just don't feel like writing much.

See you all soon and lots of love Rach xxx

(edited: whoops it is April 1! Quick roundup time...well after losing nothing between the start of Dec and the end of Feb, I got my head back in the right place and lost 5.25lb in March, I will post more about it tomorrow!)

Congratulations

on the 5 pound loss in March!  I love that you have such a level headed plan for weightloss.  1900 calories is great.  I see so many people saying they are having 1500 and even more who are trying for 1200 and I think 'Am I doing this wrong?'  but I am sticking to my 1700-2000 plan and having success and it sounds like you are too!  Yay!

Fantastic!

Even though you're feeling bummed, be proud of yourself for such a good month.  Way to go!

Good job!

 It's really hard to overcome those no-loss months! Way to keep on track! :) 

 

:)

I am so glad that March was a good month for you!! It seems like a lot of us had a good March - so I am hoping that April is even better to us all!

Congrats!!

Congratulations on the loss in March. You have done so great so far, it was bound to slow down a bit at some point, right?

Sounds like you had a lovely birthday, I am happy to hear it!!

Have a good day and hope you get out of that low........

Big hugs

Congratulations Rach!

I'm so glad you joined in on the challenge- we're all going to do great. Also well done on your loss in March. April is going to be even better-for all of us!

Did I tell you I love your new pic?
