Summer 2023 Boot Camp, Week 5: into the 2nd half

[prettybird]

Apologies for being AWOL - life git in the way, wrote a big long post which I lost and then never got round to re-writing it .

Anyway, here we are into Week 5, the 2nd half already . Hopefully you’ll have got beyond the “Stall” period of Weeks 3 and 4 but be aware, it sometimes it lasts into Week 5

Keep the faith, keep focussed, keep drinking the water and you will see progress. Remember all the other benefits you're enjoying

@FinallyHere will be along shortly to link to the Spreadsheet of Fabulousness

Water, water, water

@venusandmars I honestly don't know why I did it. It probably didn't help that it's the kind of cafe where all the cakes are laid out in the counter and not just something you pick off a menu.
And I also think I've a tendency to self sabotage because I'm scared of really trying and it not working.
Anyway, back on plan today!

Week 6 thread is up

Thanks venusandmars!

I’m not avoiding tomatoes, just didn’t happen to have any in the last few days I listed (though the chicken curry had a tomato base) and I like red peppers but the rest of my family don’t, so I’m out of the habit of buying/cooking with them.

I always have cream in my coffee but the coconut oil is new. I had a very long stall and wondered if it could be too much dairy or not enough fat (coincidentally I read a really good post by Stuntnun about the importance of fat) so I swapped the cream for coconut oil for a few days and - coincidence or not - it worked. Plus the taste is lovely!

You are all doing well, afraid I am letting the side down as I am gaining on this bootcamp. Have had a family death and I have been drinking too much alcohol and making the wrong food choices. Have decided that today I will turn this around and get strict again. Feel utterly miserable but determined to make a change today and stick to it.

Hi @LadyBiker
They've all moved over to the new thread.
I'm sorry for your loss. Take it a day at a time. And welcome.

@LadyBiker I'm sorry for your loss. I wouldn't worry too much about weight loss right now, just try to eat as well as you can for your general health and just look after yourself
