2020 Pre-Christmas Low Carb Bootcamp. The first week!

Welcome all.

Well what a strange year this has been! If you're anything like me, food, meals and eating have been all over the place. And that's before we think about the booze.

I found lockdown an odd mix of feeling like I was on holiday but it was also the end of the world. So what was the point of worrying about my diet?

I am lucky, relatively, in that we don't have small children to worry about educating. We also have a nice house and garden, and as me and DH have recently retired, don't have to worry about work. So we were very much advantaged over many people.

But still, the diet/drinking was all to pot. And with the inevitable result.

So we're now in the run up to Christmas - traditionally a time when diets go out of the window, and we start to indulge ourselves. Who knows what's going to happen this year though?!

So with that in mind, it's a good time to try and be focused and aim to have a bit of discipline! This Bootcamp, as with most others, will last for 10 weeks, which will take us right up to Christmas week.

(I truly hope that we'll all be able to spend Christmas with our loved ones, but who knows?)

With grateful thanks to @AthelstaneTheUnready, here is the Spreadsheet of Exceptional Fabulousness .

You should find that you're on the spreadsheet. A couple of things:

  • if you don't want to record your weight every week, that's absolutely fine. Just don't do it!
  • if you're not on it, just add your name to the bottom - don't try and re-alphabatize it - we'll sort it out later

The spreadsheet isn't just a place to record your weight though - have a good look at it, and the tabs - there's loads of information on there, including a veg carb counter and lots of stuff about low carbing in general. You'll also find Bootcamp rules there.

@WitchWand welcome! If you scroll to the beginning of this week's chat, you'll see a link in Biwi's post, and lots of good advice and the BC rules.

You're my weight twin - I was at the same weight in June and have lost roughly 10kg since then too. Need a final push til Xmas!

My week had gone to pot and yet I'd had fab intentions. So I need to have a super week. How many weeks of fast 800 had you done @Superspecs? Did you find it easy to make change to this bootcamp .

Gosh it has gone quiet on here! I've had an ok week but slipped up a few times I'm afraid so not sure there will be a loss for me tomorrow. As long as there is no gain I'm not too bothered! I'm definitely eating a lot less since we started - lost interest in food so much for some reason.
