I did it!

Go my waist down to what it measured for the wedding in July!!! :D

Just in time for Mockmas! LOTS of drinking and eating bad, bad (but tasty) carbs! I will go back onto my normal Low Carb on Tuesday when I am back to work and try and be good until actual Christmas when I'm sure more eating and drinking will occur before the New Year :)

Christmas Turkey

My mum has actually brought 2 turkeys that each feed 20 people so I bet there will plenty of turkey sandwiches after Mockmas and Christmas to be devoured!! :D

Turkey sandwich :D

I bet there will be lots of snowballs consumed too! Me and my sister-in-law had LOADS last Christmas so I hope my Mum has stocked up on Advocaat!

Snowball

I will try to keep my food diary on  http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/StephRP80 up to date over Mockmas so you can all be jealous of the yummy food!! ;)

I am more excited about giving my niece her Christmas presents as it is her first English Christmas experience, even though its Mockmas and not actual Christmas as she lives in Switzerland with her Dad (my brother) and Mum (my sister-in-law) and they are spending actual Christmas at their home in Switzerland this year so coming over to England for early celebrations with the English family :) I will put a link to my blog detailing the Mockmas presents when I have uploaded a post. I don't want to do one before Mockmas as the presents are a SURPRISE. I know at 8 months old my niece won't understand a lot of what is happening but her parents will hopefully like her presents from me :)

1cm To Go!

I was feeling good, even after the carbfest at Chiquito on Wednesday (But my calorie count was under) so I decided to measure myself. This is the difference in my measurements compared to when I was at my smallest before my brother's wedding:

Thigh = 0 change
Hips = -1cm
Waist = +1cm
Chest = 0 change
Arm = +1cm
Neck = 0 change

So I am possibly just slightly heavier than I was at my smallest :D If I manage to get these measurements down a bit more then I MIGHT start to weigh myself again lol ;)

1 cm really isn't that much to lose now, as I was losing 1cm a week when I first started on Low Carb but it slowed down near the end of the diet! I don't mind if I stay at this size for Mockmas and get back down to this size for Christmas, so long as I don't put on a couple of inches again! I did lose it in 3 weeks though, so not too bad I'd say, especially as I haven't done any exercise!! haha! :D

I might treat myself to a kebab tonight! (Low Carb treat!) - Its been a while :)

Chiquitos for lunch!!

I have been feeling pretty good since going back onto Low Carb! Where I am not eating all the bad carbs that bloat you up I actually feel slimmer, which is a nice feeling for any dieter! :)

It was a work colleague's birthday yesterday so we are off to Chiquito (Mexican restaurant) for lunch today. I really don't fancy a basic salad as I eat salad all week! So They do a meal deal offer, 2 courses for £7.99 which is what we normally go for. I am going to avoid bread and go for the nacho starter and they do something called Baja bowls that you can have 'naked' (meaning no tortilla wraps) for those watching their carbs! I have never seen anything that mentions people watching their carbs in a restaurant before, so I got a bit excited :D

The Baja bowl still comes with a small portion of rice but having it without the tortilla should cut out over 20g of carbs! Don't worry, my dinner this evening will most likely be salad, again! lol

I am still tracking my food here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/StephRP80 

Not sure I will be able to be very precise with the carb count today but I will try!

OMG! That was soooo filling and the nachos were huge!!! The small amount of rice was actually quite big so super bloated now!! Might just have some cheese for dinner instead of salad! :[]
