Good morning all,
Well done Jeremy on your progress and you have a system that works. I liked the way you literally applied the quote to BSD journey, I can empathise with a few of those! Once upon a time I was a runner and loved it. Who knows I may one day take it up again, you sound like you love it so keep at it! I just feel so big and I know exercise will help with this but I need to sort out what I consume and how I feel about my body. Indoor exercise ideas π‘ may help with all this π§ Do you strength πͺ train? That might be a good one to do indoors. That’s what I’m planning to do before I have the confidence to go out and exercise.
Safe trip to π³π΄ Dawn. And I’m on the same countdown before term starts! Julz, a birthday goal sounds like a plan. Halloumi and chorizo salad π₯ π. Soft goats cheese, feta are my fav.
You all sound so motivated! So taking these positive vibes and pushing myself on mid-week. Good luck with all your individual journeys, together we part of this BSD journey.
Thanks squidge, yes your right about low carb history but the health profession is accepting it more. Although NHS line still doesn’t recommend low carb officially. My dad and most of his family has diabetes and I’m at risk and the pandemic bought out the worse and now best when it comes to eating! Im thankful to be accepted on the programme and I’m looking forward to some coaching! How’s your week going?
Wendy, I have pretty much been doing the OMAD. As I have never really liked breakfast years of being told I must eat 3 Square meals well with BSD I don’t feel so weird for not wanting to eat it and i don’t miss it. My evening meal and last decaf β or BSD dessert (1 square of dark chocolate) is sometimes 7.30-9.30pm. And I don’t have a bullet coffee x 2 till earliest 1pm or 2.30 and a few times even lasted till 4.30pm for that coffee so I’m fasting for 16 hours at least. And I reckon at work I will be able to do this easily! As you know the school day is pretty busy and fast. Although I will have a BSD lunch at school or light snack as 4pm I would feel v hungry in the car journey home and I would make a stop at the supermarket on the way to car park for a π₯ͺ & lite crisps π , so forward planning will be the key for me!
Weds am is my official start of BSD week and i have weighed myself this am and lost a further 2lbs π
still have a way to go and think I need to stick to weighing myself less daily and maybe just weekly! Scale numbers can be a curse and blessing. But clothes have definitely felt lighter.
Apologies for the long post but it helps! And what really helps is you all sharing your journeys! Those of you are π them but not posting, or may be like me you fell off the wagon and I also didn’t have the confidenceto even post, join in if you can, appreciate time is an issue for some. I am posting highs, meh middling and low days. This forum will be the key to my BSD journey success!
Happy BSD folks. Stay safe, well and enjoy
