Week 8 - Pre-Christmas Low Carb Bootcamp - make the last week count!

[BIWI]

Here's the fateful Spreadsheet

I hope it's been a good week for you all.

I'm starting this early this week, so that I don't forget!

Tomorrow - again - I have to be at work at sparrow's fart, so didn't want to forget to start the new thread.

Good luck to you all - here's to a good result on the scales!

I'm still hanging in there. Low carb food only but lots to do and developing a tendency to snack rather than eat properly. I eat more than I need this way. Also not enough water. Tomorrow (today) I will try harder.

Dillite - don't despair! It's called 'life' and sometimes you just have to go with the flow. The best way to look at low carbing is to see it as a longer term plan; some times it will be impossible, but as long as, overall, you're keeping your carbs low, you can reassure yourself that you're eating a more healthy diet.

I know in the short term that it may impact on your weight, but this is a marathon not a sprint.

This is a terribly difficult time of the year to low carb, because there's so much socialising going on, and 99 times out of 100 the options you'll have to choose from are going to be carby - and very tempting!!!

Thank you BIWI. It's hard not to despair when you try and change your entire life's eating habits. I know that it's a marathon and it's all about the big picture so I just need to keep reminding myself not to allow the small setbacks to ruin the big picture. The time of year doesn't help either!

Had my first alcohol in 7 weeks on Friday. Four drinks - felt fine on the night but really bad headache in the morning. Straight back on low carb Saturday and feeling good.

Last day of official bootcamp today. Planning to have loads of water.

Hello everyone.
Well done Tiny. My office was having a fuddle on fri and as predicted, it was sausage rolls, crisps etc. I took my luck of chicken curry in with me. sadly I still took a piece of pork pie it could have been much worse

I took my lunch not my luck. Doh
