Week 10 - Low Carb Bootcamp - the last week!

[BIWI]

Well, finally, we reach the finish line! One more week to shout your shit.

Here's the Spreadsheet of Fabulousness

And the Weight Tracker

Hope the results are positive for you today - and that the rest of this week gives you time to drop another pound or two.

trashy you wouldn't say that if you could see me and my attempts at hauling myself up and down the pole! It is not a pretty sight! Might post a picture one day when it is carefully staged and photoshopped

The horse is not mine, I can't really afford (time or money) to have one while I am doing my PhD but I look after a friends house and animals (three horses, one 17hh IDX, one 16.2hh IDX and one 15hh CBX and four cats). I love it.

My fave thing is going out to feed the horses in my pjs in the morning Simple things.

Not made it to the bath yet!

Meant to say ...look after a friends house and animals when they are on holiday

ooh how lovely lovely lovely. When I get my foot fixed, and it's all better, the specialist promised I'd be able to ride again.... I could be helpful if you were house sitting then, two horses are a lot to exercise....

erm... or three. Face. Palm.

Morning all!

An interesting piece about high fat/low carb diets, or Banting, as it was originally known!

By the way, if anyone is interested, I'm thinking of starting the next Bootcamp on 5 May.

watching DD3 'a ballet class aka reading mumsnet on phone

biwi count me in !
Trashy utter empathy on the secret stash of Easter choc - I am gritting my teeth when I walk past it ....
Sorry you are feeling crap my dear virtual viper - I think hormones are fuckers sometimes .
And ..... How did you find you pup so quick ? We keep
Missing litters and are 17 th on one waiting list ! I hear you about driving - I am now resolved to driving anywhere to get him ! Also .... How are some pups more expensive than others in the same litter ?? Oh - and regards borrowing money .... Forget it - he wouldn't lend it if he didn't want to .

Can't remember (And can't scroll back on phone ) who had withheld struggling .. ? sayra - this is the place for it .... Struggle away on here - it's a ' team' approach ! I am
Ok today - I am 'on it' but yesterday I fell into Dd2 and 3's homemade cupcakes !!! Eeek ! I fully expect 4lbs worth !

I'm definitely in for the next bootcamp!!

I'm definitely in too. I'm plodding away at BCLite with occasional, planned off track meals, but pushing me to be stricter for a while sounds a great idea. I think my body (our bodies?) do respond to pulses of that, if that makes sense, so much better than pushing it too hard and then binging on rubbish, to do pulses of 'Lite' and strict BC. At least, it seems to be working for me.

Two dozen gorgeous cakes delivered to church for an event, and a couple of days with no baking, thank goodness. I have an unexpected interview on Monday (long story) so am trying to cram information in my head... not so easy... maybe an error as it's making me more anxious, just wish I could get on with it, the waiting is horrible!

Hooray for May bootcamp!

me me me for the may bootcamp. I am continuing with it anyway, so it'll be great to have the energy and kick start from another one. I have found it to be one of the most positive experiences and it's further cemented my love of mumsnet!

whooshy and sayra thanks so much for the kind words - I truly think it was hormones, my weight went up be a kilo overnight, and then dropped back down two, (after copius water upping) I resisted the crap chocolate, and feel so much better today (and yesterday)

whooshy it was pure pure luck finder the breeder. I have been in conversation with another lady who is a kc registered breeder who lives about an hour from us, and she's been quietly making enquires for me for months now. This litter popped up as we were on the phone chinwagging the other night, and I was able to move like lightening. The reason for the different prices are size and markings.

We went down to see the litter yesterday. My amazing dp did an eight hour round trip and we fell in love on sight. We were allowed to bring her home imediately, as we'd come through the 'correct channels' and I am over the fucking moon. I'll post a picture

forgive my early morning look..... She's nine weeks old and very adorable indeed!

finding not finder!

christ excuse typos - obvs delirious

Trashy she's gorgeous, what have you called her?

I'm up for the next bootcamp, I've only put on 2lb which isn't bad considering all the crap I've eaten but I need the virtual stick-beating to keep my on the straight and narrow.

She's gorgeous - so tiny ! We have just heard some rather fab news too .... We have been successful on a list - we can chose from a litter of fox red labs !! Only 24 hours old at mo - do will be a new dog mummy in 8 weeks time !!

Now even I think she's cute!!!

We are just about to tuck into slow roasted lamb shoulder cooked over swede and leek boulangere.... mmmmm now this is low carb cooking at its best :)

Interview tomorrow eeeeek!!!!

notso I was toying with the idea of calling her Suki before we even had an actual dog in mind, but dp and I were discussing names as we walked along the beach the other day - just after I'd heard about her, and he said, jokingly "we can only get her if we call her Rude Dog after Rude Dog and the Dweebs"... and I thought that was an excellent name, and we can do Rudi for short - so when introducing her to people, or her 'official title, will be Rude Dog (arf arf) but when running through the park yelling for her, I can do Rudi dp loves ska and two tone and one of our best songs that always gets covered if we go out to see one of those type of bands is called 'A Message To You Rudy' (by The Specials) so it suits us all!

whooshy That is fantastic news!!! I'm so chuffed, does this mean, in a few weeks time, we can also hang out together at the 'doghouse'? I haven't had a puppy like this before.... We did have puppies when I was a kid, but nothing this young. I'm like a nanny who's just had her first baby! Fortunately I have helped lots of folks who've got puppies as part of my work, and they are just like babies in the sense of they pretty much eat, drink, wee, poo, sleep, in cycles, with a bit of a play chucked in. Am enjoying working out her 'rhythms' today.

She slept all night without a peep in her box and has only had one accident (under dp's watch) when he looked away at a crucial moment. He has other areas of strength

littlemiss am I to take from this that dogs are not your favourite?

Your lamb sounds gorgeous, but swede is minging

Now forgive me if I have missed this one, but interview ???? Is it a job interview? How did I manage to not know?

How's everybody else doing? The thread seems awfully quiet.... Has everyone managed to survive the security breach? I have had to log in to the site several times over the past two days. Most upsetting!

Foodwise, have not eaten as much as I should have the last 48 hours due to dog based shenanigans and loss of appetite due to painkillers for crippled neck/shoulder. Last weigh in on Thursday a was 106 kilos.....

Interesting piece here about the importance of eating red meat

(to interrupt cooing over small puppies!)

ahem...

I'll be here for the next boot camp. Still doing boot camp light with the odd planned fairly frequent off piste moment.

Another 3lb to go and I'll have lost 2 stones. The loss has very much slowed down now so mainly about sustaining it.

Rude Dog the dog is beautiful. I WANT ONE!

Back on BC Light this past week and lost just over 3lbs. Total loss so far - 33lbs, nearly 2 and a half stone. Thank you BIWI!

Don't thank me - you're the one doing all the hard work!

Brilliant. Well done

Im still around too, keeping on. Sort of!

Had my worst day yesterday, and fell headfirst into two doughnuts, half an entire carrot cake, a whole pack of biscuits, and a bottle of prosecco. Oooopsie!

Im still at 147lb though refusing to weigh for a couple of days now so exactly 2st lost since Jan 1st.

Its harder to stick to the plan when kids are off school, picnics and wine are featuring heavily!

Well done everybody else x
