7 months later….

Gosh doesn’t time fly when you’re having fun eating takeaways and cancelling your gym membership!!

This month’s trial is diet chef! I’ve got my big box of food and it’s actually really bloody tasty, I mean I haven’t lost any weight but that could have been the macdonalds and fried chicken I ate on top of the calorie controlled food but it’s really nice and easy when you stick to it…..

One positive though is that I haven’t gained any weight. I haven’t lost anything but I haven’t gained!  Whoop!

I have a work do in April where we’re going to a trampoline park, there’s a weight limit and currently I’m at that weight limit (that was a bit of a shocker) so it’s given me a bit of a kick up the arse to lose a few pounds at least before then so I don’t have an embarassing, sitting on the side holding handbags moment.

The big news this week is that the online dating has kicked in again. God I hate it, I hate dating, I hate searching for people, I hate letting people down, I hate the weird messages I get (too rude to put on this blog) but I’m going for it. I’m going to force myself to date and if they don’t like an arse that jiggles then move on. Wish me luck!!

I forgot to moo

Milk milk milk, it’s all I can taste or smell. I’ve been cheating and having a meal each day, I just can’t bring myself to stomach so much milk! I have been better on the exercise front though and going back to spin class and aqua aerobics (I was surprisingly flexible in the last class!)

Wednesday is my next “real” day for the diet so I’m going to try and be milk only for 7 days straight as that’s my check up with the nutritionist, I best have lost something or I’ll get in trouble.

Also treated myself to a fitbit flex, have to say it is completely pointless! Apart from the nice alarm in the morning waking me up, the thing just tracks my steps which are never enough and my calories which are either too low or too high. I just can’t find my happy medium!

I’m going to start mooing soon

I’ve been away for a while again and a lot has changed. I mentioned my holiday last time and that has been and gone and almost forgotten already…

I asked to be referred to a nutritionist at the Docs and have had a couple appointments so far. The usual thing of low calorie diets and doing a food plan in the first one but the second one, they have put me on a milk diet!

Each day I am allowed 4 pints of semi skimmed milk. That’s it. Well I can also have diet drinks, sweetener, tea and coffee. I did it for 5 days last week and lost 9lb and then had the weekend off and put on 5lb! Also, a word of warning, don’t drink 8 jaegarbombs in a row with only milk in your stomach, it doesn’t end well.

It seems a really unrealistic, unhealthy and an impossible-to-maintain diet. I’ve been reading up on it and it seems to be a pre-op diet that you follow for 10 days max but I’ve been told I can do it for 2 months…and its primary goal is to shrink your liver (I think) for your op. I’ll stick with it for a while as its actually easy and filling (and cheap!) and I’ve got my next appointment in 2 weeks so I’ll be asking a lot more questions then, especially about how I would start reintroducing food again without piling the pounds back on again.

I’m going to go have my mug of warm milk and get back to work! Watch this space!
