I couldn't be bothered to post last night. Left all my college work too late so spent ages doing my work and then just wanted to go sleep.
Yesterday went fine. I managed 4.5 litres of water i think or was it 5 litres?? I forgot, lol. I spent most of the day trying to get my university sorted before september. I'v had to apply again because i want to study part time and it has been a nightmare trying to find a university that offers my course as flexible as i need it. But nearly there now. My decision is between Derby University and Wolverhampton (walsall campus) University. If anyone has any comments about either univeristy or the city that would be fab. I am having trouble deciding where to go :(
Anyway, yesterday i had:
Chocolate milkshake
1/4 Toffee meal bar (snack)
1/2 Tofee meal bar
1/4 Toffee meal bar (snack)
Choc mint milkshake
+ 4.5 litres of water (maybe more, lol).
The toffee bar was ok. It tasted nicer after it had been in the fridge for a while.
Today: Been at college most of the day so been gettin on with my work. I woke up late and didnt have time for my milkshake so i had a bite of my bar and had milkshake on my break bout half 10ish. Sometimes i find that after college i have a really bad headache and i feel so tired because i really have to concentrate in my lessons, especially in psychology where i am making notes non stop. I dont mind though.
I really want to start exercising soon. I am waiting for TOTM to pass so i can start swimming and i also need to get the gym sorted. But i wll need a new top and bottoms because my old ones dont fit me, they're too big :) ( i'm losing inches people, yay). So cant wait for the exercise to kick in.
Another thing i have notice this week is that my periods have been really light because of all the water i have been drinking. I hope this is normal and everyone (females obviousley) who drink so much water on the diet have experienced this when its TOTM.
Anyway, today i have had:
1/4 of chocolate meal bar ( 9amish)
Chocolate milkshake (10:30amish)
1/2 Chocolate meal bar (1pmish)
1/4 chocolate meal bar (3:30pmish)
Choc Mint milkshake (7pmish)
+ 4.5 Litres of water
Chocolate tasted much better after it had been in the fridge too.( I am getting abit sick of all this chocoalte though, lol)
As you can see i am getting better with the water :). But i was discussing this with a friend because i was moaning about my low weight losses and she thought that i should aim for 6 pints of water throughout the day ( instead of 4-5 litres)because maybe my body is holding onto all the water i am drinking because i just stated drinking more and its not normal for my body. So i am losing less weight?? I have no idea if this is true but i am abit too scared to drink less now incase i have another low loss. I'm just going to stick to around 4-5 litres and see how that works out.
Anyway, Ugly Betty is on so i have to go. xx
ps i really have no idea why i cant change the colour of my font etc ??? It looks too boring now :(

Cambridge Diet - Day 14 (WI) / Day 15
I couldnt post last night because my internet went bust, so i'm going to post now before i forget and my stupid internet decides to be annoying.
Yesterday was horrible, especially last night after my weigh in. I was ok all day and i was expecting a low loss this week because i was due on my period and i knew i would be retaining water. I lost 2 lbs last night, which is ok but not great. But after i got weighed yesterday i was really really low and started crying (at home). I felt really upset because i thought the diet wasnt going to work out for me and i might only see losses of 1 lb a week which is not worth sacrificing all your food. I was talking to my CDC at my WI and she said that she hasnt seen weightloss like mine before and her other clients lose alot more (i think she still thinks i am cheating when i am most certainley not). She said that if the diet isn't working for me then i can quit and she'll buy any of my unused packs off me. This really upset me because i have tried everything else to lose weight and i thought CD would finally help me lose weight and be happy again.
But we did discuss a few things at the WI and we thought my low weightloss could be due to a slow metabolism. I have been on many medications and i know it has affected my metabolism, especially over the last 2 years when i got unwell.
So we decided that i would stick with SS for the next 2 weeks and then do the AAM week. If in that week i lose more weight (the extra cals might stimulate my metabolism more) then i can move onto the 790 plan. I was pretty happy with this so i'm just going to see things through.
But i did nearly quit last night because i was so upset and didnt think it was worth it. I really wanted something to eat. But i spoke to my mum and she said i should stick with it, so thats what i am doing. My clothes are big gor me now so i am losing inches so as long as i lose inches i am happy. But i did cry so much last night until my eyes went puffy and sore. I think because i was due on it made me more emotional and made things seem much worse then they were.
I also managed 5 litres yesterday :)
Today has not been too bad. I have started my choc meal bars today, so i have one of them instead of a milkshake. I had peanut today which was ok. I split it into 3 pieces so that i hard 1 large piece for lunch and 2 small peices for snacks. I thought it might help with my metabolism,
I have had killer period pains today though. Since 3am this morning i have been dieing of pain. I decided to take a painkiller at about 9am. After that things have been ok. I think the meals bars might be giving me the shits though, i'm not sure, i'l have to check it out.
But today i have had:
Chocolate milkshake - 9am
Little piece of peanut choc meal bar (snack) - 11 am
Big piece of peanut choc meal bar - 1 pm
Little piece of peanut meal bar (snack)- 3pm
Choc mint milkshake - 6pm
+ 5 litres of water :) :) :)
I have also done a ketosis test and i am still in ktosis :)
I'm going to try and avoid the kitchen tonight because i think the family are having kebabs. If i feel upto it i might offer to help.
Got to go now, bye xx
ps i dont know why i cant change the colour of the text on this post, there are no options for this ??? Strange!

Cambridge Diet - Day 13
I want to start off by saying how awful my day was yesterday. Its nearly TOTM for me and i was so emotional yesterday. I was crying my eyes out 1 min and then being a complete bitch and biting everyones head off the next. I feel so sorry for my family. I think being on CD is making me extra sensitive during TOTM. I cant wait till TOTM is over.
I thought i would mention that i managed to drink 4 Litres yesterday too :)
Today has been very very very boring. Just lazed around all day and managed to get alittle college work done. I did get abit dizzy at lunch, dont know why.
Today i have had my usual milkshakes + 4.5 litres of water. I wanted to get 5 litres in but i just couldnt. I have my weigh in tmrw, really nervous.
I have to go out for a min, brb. To be continued ....
continued...... I dont really think i have anything else to say. I managed to resist takeaway tonight as my family are sat happily munching downstairs (i am getting good at this, lol). I plan on making some choc mint truffles in the morning so i can snack on them throughout the day and keep my metabolism up. I have had a few chest pains this week which have been worrying me. But after some good advice from the lovely people at minimins i feel better and i will see my CDC about it and then make an appointment wth my GP.
Speak to you tmrw xx

Cambridge DIet - Days 10/11/12
I really haven't had much time to blog recently. I have been busy with things at home and college work and i have also been falling asleep early. The diet does make you really tired. So i'll fill you in now.
Friday: Went well. I was at college most of the day so the day past pretty quick. I did have to keep rushing to the loo though which is really annoying me now because everyone thinks i'm wierd. But i dont mind that much because soon i will super slim. I had the same three shakes as i always do ( they are the only ones i like) but i had my last one late again, as usual. I also managed 3 litres of water, which i was happy with.
Saturday: Super busy today. Family had a wedding to go to so there was alot of helping with getting ready, hair, make-up, clothes etc. I didnt go though. I haven't been to a wedding in along time, especially since gaining weight. We also had visitors round which kept us busy for a while. But the evening was nice. We just chilled out and then i cooked for my brothers and sisters which i really enjoyed. It takes the hunger and cravings away. I also managed 3.5 litres yesterday too :)
Today: It has gone ok so far. Woke up late so had my milshake late. I also found another reason for why i feel like eating emotionally so i will be noting that in my food mood diary :). I have been a little worried this morning because i keep getting chest pains and i dont know if its because of SSing. I am hoping that they will pass and i can continue with SS because i am coping well with it. If i have to, i thought i will move upto the 790 plan. I am going to let my CDC know about the pains and see my GP if i have too.
Anyway, i have to go because i have to do the housework and then maybe go shopping for a swimming costume because i want to start swimming. I have had 1.5 litres so far today and hope to drink at least 3 litres.

Cambridge Diet - Day 8/9
Had no time to post last night, so i will make up for it now.
Yesterday went well, i didnt do much in the day but in the evening i made lots of food for my family and got such a buzz from it. I dont know what it was but because i cant have any food and i have to stay away from it, just doing something with food like cooking it is so enjoyable. I also think its nice to feel in control over your food when you're cooking it and you have the strength to not eat it. I might cook something tonight :).
I wasnt very hungry yesterday, just had cravings here and there. Yesterday i had the same milkshakes as today at roughly the same times.
Today has been so much more difficult. I have been hungry most of the day and really craving food. It constantly smells of gorgeous food in my house and so theres so much temptation. I just try to get on with my college work and ignore it.
Earlier this evening at 6ish i took a nap because i really wanted some fried food and i felt like crying. From being unhealthy and having takeaway 3-4 times a week to giving it up is very hard. But i need to change my eating patterns and i am hoping after a few weeks i wont ever want any take away again, lol.
So today i have had:
Chocolate milkshake ( 8am)
Starwberry milkshake (2:30 pm)
Choc Mint Milkshake (6:30pm)
+ 4 litres of water :)
Sorry for the boring 'what i had today' stuff but i just want a record of everything just incase i have a problem on the diet and i need to look back.
I saw an old friend today, it was so nice running into her. Even though we dont see each other often, whenever we chat its like we have been chattting for ages and we can just pick up from where we left off before. We were chillin in her new car today which was cool. She has a poledancing business opening up soon, how cool is that. Will defo be booking some lessons after the weight comes off, lol.
Anyway, i have maths homework to do for tmrw, so i gota go!!

Cambridge Diet - Day 7: Weigh-in
I had my week 1 weigh-in a few hours ago and i have lost 5 lbs. I'm not super duper happy about it, infact i feel abit low. I really wanted a 7+lbs loss.
My CDC said that the expected weightloss in the first week is 7+ lbs and asked if i had stuck to just the 3 sachets a day. Errr of course i had, i have been so good and resited everything!!!
So she said that it could have been fluid retention or stress and that i shouldnt worry about it. I might even lose more next week, but i seriously doubt it. I think i will prob lose 3/4 lbs maybe.
I also tried to measure myself to see if i had lost any inches but i was coming up with bigger measurements than last week so i just left it.
So today i have had:
Strawberry milkshake (9amish) - this was lovely
Chocolate Mint milkshake (3pmish) - 1st time trying this and it was really nice
Fruits of the Forest Milkshake ( 9pmish) - 1st time trying this too but i did not like it at all, SO HALF WENT DOWN THE SINK
+ 4 Litres ( i thought maybe the increased water intake could be causeing water retention?? I dont know!!)
The rest of the day has been ok. Been trying to get an essay done, nowhere near finished though.
I'm still feeling abit shitty but will prob feel better tmrw. I guess 5lbs is a good start.
Think i might get into bed for abit. Family are eating downstairs too so need to resist, especially because i'm feeling so shitty and want to eat something.

Cambridge Diet - Day 6
Today has been such a struggle for me. I have been craving food all day and have been in a really low mood this afternoon. I havn't managed to get uni sorted either, which is stressin me out.
I really wanted to quit the diet today. I was a little down because my scales weren't showing much loss and i thought that there is no point for me to be on this diet if i dont lose my stone a month. But i know i wont be able lose my weight any other way and even though it dont show much weightloss on my scales it will show in inches!!
Nothing much gone on today. Tried to do my essay but felt low so went back to bed for abit. I'm gona have a nice bubble bath inamin to pass some time and to prevent going downsatirs because family are having gorgeous kebabs tonight, mmmmm yum yum. I can smell them now!!
I know i am going to get very hungry tonight because i had to throw half my banana milkshake down the sink because it almost made me puke. It just tases like the nasty soups.
Today has consited of :
Chocolate milkshae (9am) - very nice with extra water
Strawbery milkshake (2pm) - very nice
Banana milkshake (8:30 pm) - HALF WENT DOWN THE SINK
+ 5 litres of water!!!!! I dont know how i managed this but i did. I dont think i will be able to drink as much tmrw because i have to go out.
Weing- In tmrw people, very very nervous. I really want a 7+ lbs loss, but i think it'l only be bout 4ish lbs :(. But i gota stay Positive!!
