Week 7 - Summer Low Carb Bootcamp - are you still with us?!

[BIWI]

Morning all

Here's the spreadsheet - sorry to keep you all waiting!

So we have four full weeks before our final weigh-in - still time to lose half a stone if you stick at it.

Here's to a good week ahead

{{{{{hugs}}}}} C4 and anyone else who needs them

C4, I hope your industrial antibiotics are kicking in now. You have more people rooting for you than you can know.

C4 . It's scary in the middle of the night. I hope you are getting some rest.

C4 I hope that the antibiotics are starting to work you're feeling better this morning.

c4. Hope today brings better news.

Thinking of you C4

* C4* hope the antibiotics do their job quickly. Rooting for you.

C4 I wish I had something helpful to say

C4 sounds very difficult.

I hope things are looking better this morning C4.

Copperas Taubes's take on sugar is utterly terrifying when you think about how much is in the Western diet now. And as you say more than half the book is references, he's gone out of his way to make sure he can't be accused of cherry picking his sources.

My oxtail bone broth finished this morning and DS1 and DS4 had oxtail for breakfast, the little carnivores!

C4. I am thinking of you.

I am still plodding on here. Much better week than last week which was rubbish due to stomach bug - appetite off, not able to drink/keep down the amount of water I need to. Back to normal service this week and feeling much better. Although my boobs have been very sore for a week now and I feel like my period could start at any time and I'm VERY bloated - it's not due until 12th July (ish). So I wouldn't expect to feel like this until now really . Could be peri meno/low carb or combination of the two I suppose! Gah!

C4 sending healing waves ~~~

C4 hang in there girl. You are a fighter. The Namaste Bitches are right behind you.

and to hell with it

Unmumsnetty hugs C4

I had to have chicken with my scrambled eggs this morning as I used the last of the chorizo in DH salad to take to work. I was going to have chicken for lunch, so now I'm not sure what to have. We have avocado, so might do a big salad.

Got salmon for dinner, anyone got any inspiring recipes for it?

C4 - Sorry to hear that - It does sound scary, hope your antibiotics are taking effect and you won't need the stronger ventilation.

Today

B - Breakfast muffin
l - tuna salad
D - Courgetti in a cream, cheese, bacony sauce.
W - LOTS!

Now either my scales are duff, I misread yesterday, or I have lost a stone over night... I'm voting for A but maybe tomorrow will tell.

Aaah no C4 I was hoping for better news

Come on now mrs, chin up and keep going

C4 It must be scary for you.
But, it sounds as if you are in good hands.

We are all thinking of you!

C4 hope you have better news soon

C4 I am so sorry that you are so unwell. Sending love to you x

C4 thinking of you must be such a scary time.

C4 I don't post much, but always read the threads and I just want to say I think you are absolutely amazing

C4 - Really hope those antibiotics kick whatever it infection is causing issues. Don't worry about diet too much, just get energy and nutrition.

I'm trying on shorts and not sure I've got the bottle to wear them on the school run. Back to a floaty dress me thinks. I'm down half a pound since Monday, weighing at my usual time. But still a few more to lose before I'll be comfy in these shorts. I'm almost half way to my final target, less than a stone to go.

Went to the gym, had pork crackling and creamy coffee.
Lunch of yoghurt, cream and lemon.
Chorizo and eggs with veggies for dinner.

Yesterday I had yoghurt and raspberries with creamy coffee x 2
Olives, prosciutto, mozzarella and salad
Cup of tea with cream
No dinner as I fell asleep!

Hope all is going ok c4. I just want to eat biscuits today argh.

c4 there are no words really. It's so unfair. I hope things don't turn out as bleak as you fear.

Plodding on here. My back looks a little slimmer. I've successfully got through several difficult moments the last few days which i feel really proud of. It really helps to show myself I can do this. Cravings pass. They really aren't the end of the world.

My only sadness is my boobs keep effing shrinking! My legs and bum are still massive. So unfair. I don't have much more boobage to lose.
