  So, half a year has gone.
  Fed up letting it all slide out of my fingers.
  Starting today.

  I have bought a writing book on sale at WHS, for my food diary to tell the truth, especially food portions.

  Decided to keep away from carbs, but dont mention the toasted tea cakes in costa, or the pork loin from crawshaws in two scotch baps from waterfields, or the lemon curd tart from farm foods, or the biggest bowl of icecream because it is so hot.

  Right, just for the next hour i will watch what i eat…………. what shall i do for breakfast?, i usually have weetabix or cornflakes?….. i am going to have boiled ham and a little cheese. Why am i thinking about food?
  How long is this damn hour?……
  My belly looks huge, i will stuck it in…….. did you see it wobble? I will put a cushion over it.
  But the bread is sooooo nice…. shut up!
  Hot buttered toast…. shut up………
  Whats that in the mail on sunday? Michael is doing a bs 5:2 live longer, good gut type of thingy…..
  I will read that later. It will be on the daily mail web site.
  Wonder if i cover the bread up with something , do it still count?
  But the scales said 802.5 pounds. I know i exaggerate.
  Is this hour nearly done?
  Oh why is it osoooooooooo difficult?
  Why did i get addicted to carbs.
  Why did i fail?
  Shut up, one hour, thats all. Just be good for one hour. We can worry about the next hour when we get there.
  Its so hot i cant go out for a walk.
  This cushion looks nice, you can hardly see my belly…..
  Did i out everything in the food dairy? ….. yes.
  For a low carb diet, i might as well call the food diary, the carb diary.
  What time is it?
  I will go and get a glass of water and potter to take my mind off things.
  Came back quick, all those carbs in the kitchen…..
  I will sort the food out later, when i am braver and stronger.
  Has it only been six minutes, boy this is a LONG hour.

  Getting there.
  Love lucia

  Hi Lucia, keep on counting. Not just the minutes, the carbs too.

  Well done on getting down to a size 14/16, seriously I know how hard it is. That’s my dream for now, just to fit ‘normal’ clothes again.
  Tell me how did you go about getting your step count up? I’m a bit of a couch-potato myself but making aquavit a few times a week.
  Seriously well done, this is just a little trial your mind has set you to get through – you’re gonna smash it.

  Okay team,

  I have been keeping a truthful food diary.

  I have walked the long way to places.
  I have been going up and down stairs more than i need to, just to move.

  I am about to do a fast , my first, from my ham lettuce and tom salad now at lunchtime to lunchtime tomorrow.

  I am cutting back my portions.

  I am not worrying yet over my carbs, just reducing them.i have cut out spuds, rice and pasta.

  Hoping my weight has gone down, fed up of tight skirts.

  Anyone else finding it too hot to exercise?

  Love lucia

  So, hows the fasting?
  I did feel hungry but was fine after just a drink,

  Bought frozen veg on the way home, farm foods. To make sure i eat veg and not chocolate.

  Trying to do one task or job when i get home to declutter the house and my mind.
  Thinking of getting up half an hour early and walking in the cool air.

  So here we go,
  Another hot day,
  We pray for cool and rain but when it arrives we will be muttering.

  Getting usedto the bs diet, still tweeking bit by bit so next week i should be fully on it.

  Air show near me on weekend, thinking of cycling to and from.

  Love lucia

  Have you tried radishes as a snack? I don’t usually eat them, but am trying to eat as many different veg in salads as possible (so I don’t get bored with them). The big red ones they sell in supermarkets are really nice chilled, just as they are and very refreshing in the hot weather.

  The French eat radishes with their aperos (early evening drinks) – we still think it is strange but I guess it is like having crudities and dips.

  Oh! I didn’t know it was a thing, but I can imagine they’d be nice with a cold glass of wine.

  Squidge, I’ve tried a quick pickle recipe from the Pioppi diet. It’s scrummy and virtually calorie free – I’ll post it later to the recipe section.

  Hi,

  203.2

  That’s all I will say.

  I am not looking at it. It doesn’t deserve any attention. It is what it is.

  Just walk away, nothing to see here.
