Dear Diary,
I felt like it was quite a productive day today. I managed to do the cleaning I needed to do but I am paying in pain for it now. Still needs must. I did enjoy my dinner today, I really enjoy fish although I don’t like the smell it leaves! The hubby and have been craving something sweet but trying to cut down on sugar. I have found a few Keto cake recipes so I am going to have a go at making them and see if we can curb those cravings.
Until tomorrow….
Dear Diary,
Nice day today. My husband took me to a new cafe that has just opened called The Beehive jazz cafe. There was not much on the menu that I could have but they do a breakfast called ‘The Hunger Games’ breakfast. It consisted of various cheeses, choritzo sausage, eggs, toast and olives. Hubby had the toast for me but it was lovely! Aside from the toast it is a Keto dieters dream!
I really liked the decor of the place, right up my street with funky music and instruments on the wall. I do like quirky places. I am sure we will be going back!
Until tomorrow….
Dear Diary,
It has been a rough few weeks with my Fibromyalgia, CFSme and my stomach so I have not really been up to too much. I feel like I am getting a little better, or at least coping better. I have been helping my husband with a new little project. Well as much as I can do. He has started a new website reviewing screenwriting in films just for fun and to add to his port folio. Personally I do not know much about screenwriting but my husband has a Masters degree in Creative writing and has just started a PhD in the subject. He has asked me to be the voice in his video reviews!
Yesterday I recorded my little audio parts and he is putting it all together. Once it is ready he will add it too his YouTube channel. I have to admit I did enjoy doing it but I am sure once I hear it it will make me cringe! Still it is nice to have something to take my mind off things, especially the pain.
Until tomorrow….
Dear Diary,
Nice quiet day today. I had a nice little pamper session. I have been using the Diamond White teeth whitening system. Seems to be working so far and I have not had any sensitivity with it so all good! I am going out for the afternoon tomorrow with my hubby and some friends for some Board game action! I have been resting up so I hopefully will be alright to go. Need to do my nails in the morning though! They are a state!
Until tomorrow….
Dear Diary,
I was not feeling the best today so my lovely husband made me breakfast in bed. I am one lucky wifey! He makes the best scrambled eggs and puts cherry tomatoes in it for me even though he hates tomatoes! I was feeling very tired and weak today. I am getting a little frustrated not being able to exercise but I hope I will be able to get back on track soon. The weight is still coming off so pleased about that. I have lost 2st 2lb so far. I am half way there now and I can feel it is making a difference.
Until tomorrow……
Dear Diary,
Well today was a bit of a mixed bag, I felt quite happy and hopeful in the morning. The scales had moved moved again but I was still in quite a lot of pain so I have not been able to do any exercise which is quite frustrating. I was a little naughty and had a doughnut so I did go over my carb allowance for the day. I do think you need to have a little treat occasionally to avoid binging down the line. I decided to dye my hair to try and cheer myself up and I have been wanting to do it for a while.
All was going well til I made a mess in the bathroom! Hair dye is such a pain to try and get out, salon next time me thinks! I am very happy with the colour though, it is a nice purpley red!
I really hope the pain passes soon as I want to be able to get some exercise under my belt.
Until tomorrow….
Dear Diary,
In honour of losing 2 stone 1lb I decided to treat myself to a little bit of pampering. I had a lovely bubble bath and used a nice supposedly pore minimising face mask. I have been wanting to colour my hair for a while so I bought a kit to do tomorrow. I am trying out some new face creams and eye creams too. Need to sort out these wrinkles and fine lines! I enjoyed a lovely naughty steak today! Not something I eat every day but it is yummy and has no carbs! Bonus!
Until tomorrow….
Dear Diary,
Not a bad day today although I am still suffering with a bit of Keto flu so I have not been able to do much exercise, I am hoping the side effects wear off soon! I treated myself to a couple of tops from Simply Be in the sale that arrived today. I ordered one in a 16 and one in an 18 to be on the safe side and much to my surprise the size 18 was too big and the size 16 fit perfectly! I am still trying to adjust as when I look in the mirror I can’t always see a change but my clothes say it loud and clear. It still blows my mind that in January I needed a size 22, my wedding dress was a size 22 although I intentionally ordered it a couple of inches bigger than I needed just in case. I still can’t believe I have dropped 3 dress sizes!
Until tomorrow…
Dear Diary,
Had a lovely day today. My lovely husband surprised me with a new stainless steel water bottle. I need to make sure I drink lots of water now I am on a Keto plan. I have always struggled drinking enough water. I always find plastic water bottles make the water taste funny after a while so this is fantastic. We have a few things to look forward too so despite the pain I am in currently I am feeling very hopeful.
Until tomorrow…
Dear Diary,
I cannot believe it is September already! I have been thinking about the journey I have been on so far and I am really happy with what I have achieved so far. I now measure myself on the first of each month and I have lost 7 inches from my stomach and 6 inches around my waist! I keep having to pinch myself! I never let anyone take full length photos of me until now. I am starting to get a bit of confidence back.
Until tomorrow…..
New me new Mia
