Summer Low Carb Mini Bootcamp - week 2

Morning and welcome to week 2

I'll link to the spreadsheet in a comment below

Fingers crossed everyone's had a great week weight wise and that week 2 brings a break from the rain for most of us!

Please remember when you get on the scales this morning/tomorrow morning, that some people lose weight much quicker than others.

If you have a lot of weight to lose, chances are that you will lose it quicker than if you are closer to your target. Some people will lose a shed load in week one, but then nothing in week two - whereas others will lose more modestly, but consistently, week after week. The only thing that matters is what is happening to you.

If you haven't lost much, please don't be disappointed. Make sure that you are genuinely following the rules - are you drinking enough water? Are you eating high fat? That one glass or wine, or that small piece of cake - they all add up.

And even if you have genuinely followed the rules - if you haven't seen the scales move by much - have you measured?

We are all different, and rates of loss will be different too. Just think about the food that you have been eating, and consider how this WOE compares with low calorie or low fat diets.

Changing to a low carb way of eating as compared to a low fat or low calorie diet is not an easy transition, and it is to be expected that there will be snags along the way. Hopefully the Bootcamp threads will give you the help and guidance that you need - and I hope that when you get on the scales next, your hard work will be rewarded!

(thank you for the motivational words @biwi Smile )

[quote Kerplunkk]@Daveggie1 I’m feeling the same today, my mind keeps wandering to crisps or some chocolate!
Hope you feel better soon[/quote]
@kerplunkk - I've no idea if it'll be a decent substitute for crisps but I picked up a pack of salted seaweed yesterday (ingredients are literally just seaweed, oil and salt) to have as treat after my husband came home with a massive multipack of chewy sweets, 2 x four pack of chocolate bars and a bottle of apple juice Hmm

@Kerplunkk thanks! Felt a bit better today and stuck to the diet and had a very small bowl of soup while out and hubby had a massive ploughman’s and kids had scone and jam. Felt very virtuous but hungry lol. Hope you made it through the day unscathed, weekends are the hardest x

@pinknsparkly it did thicken - I forgot I also added a generous dollop of butter to the wine and got that all bubbling madly before adding double cream. I simmered (with the occasional accidental boil!) for at least 15 minutes I reckon.

Good day - lots and lots of water too.

L: chicken, egg and bacon Caesar salad. Bit of cheese and Mayo.
D: Mega oily bolognaise sauce with roasted courgettes and fried mushrooms

Have also got meal plans sorted for lunch and dinner (mostly) for the next week - just need to get to the shop now!

Have also used my bike instead of the car twice today and I've done a home weights workout.

Feeling hopeful I may have a small water loss for tomorrow but mainly focussed on next week really.
