Monday 25th May 2009 Add / view commentsKittens & Ketosis. My hardest day so far.
First the good news. The weight loss total is currently hovering at just under 11 lbs. Looking at the graph you can see the overall loss has been smooth and steady. I am pleased with that, although I was secretly hoping for at least a 1 stone loss by my next meeting which is tomorrow evening. I'm heading to the gym later to try and give things a helping hand.
Yesterday was agony. The sun was out and everybody seemed to have that summer Sunday feeling. Everywhere I looked people were enjoying a cold beers under the sun's warm rays and the entire apartment was filled with the sweet smell of nearby barbecues. If you know me, you'll know my deep love for barbecues, and the thought of not being able to enjoy even the odd sausage really knocked my positivity. For the first time since I started, I began to seriously think about eating something, however small. Even the idea of gobbling up the avocado that's been sitting unloved in the fruit bowl for over a week had me salivating. Like a Tom & Jerry cartoon everything I looked at made me hungry. Our new kitten spontaneously turned into a small succulent roast chicken. But, I am pleased to tell you dear reader that I was strong and after what seemed liked an eternity the day ended with my abstinence intact, and the kitten uneaten.
Tomorrow evening is my second meeting. I will have an official weigh in and a ketosis check. That involves peeing on a stick to check my liver is properly converting fat into energy. But that's still a while off yet. In the meantime I am off to apologise to the cat...
