So sorry I have been so slack with updating the blog....no excuses other than tiredness and rubbish planning got in the way...I'm not even sure if anyone out there is following me either so I sometimes feel a bit silly just putting it out there... Anyway I'll keep it brief.. The rest of the LO-carb cycle went without drama. I didn't struggle as much as first attempt on the no fruit although I did miss it and craved a banana yesterday. I managed to stifle my cravings for something sweet with my almonds and cashews that I kept a huge stash of in my bag the whole time!
Here's the food:
B'fast: none (naughty Kate...too late what with meltdown and RJ swimming lesson)
Early lunch of chicken, broccoli and shroom omelette at gym
Dinner: fantastic! Daxs beef curry and cauli rice...AMAZING!
Friday was a day out at Butlins then work so food was sorted and 100% angelic!
B'fast: scrambled egg and Parma ham
Lunch: prawn and avocado salad
Dimmer: leftover curry and cauli rice
Sat was my hi-carb day and the first thing I had was a banana which was flippin' lovely!
B'fast: nectarine and apple with seeds, nuts and yog
Lunch: salmon and colcannon @ gym
Dinner: huge steak with sauté pots, asparagus and leeks and mushrooms. Strawbs and yog for pud.
Back to LO-carb wave sun-Tues...am dreading it but. I think the thought is worse than the reality!
Loving the exercises still..did the pyramid with my OH last night and it was great I knocked 2 mins of my time as I'm so competitive!!!!

Monday-day 6
An up and down day today to be honest.....I started the day with my meditation and meltdown, got to admit I struggled a bit my arms felt fatigued but I got through it and felt much better for it. Rubbish breakfast of a banana and a handful of mixed nuts..had to get RJ to Socatots on time! After Socatots I drove 15 mins out of my way to Sainsburys, spent at least a tenner more than usual and then found out the blummin' petrol deal was finished! On the plus side Sainsburys seem to d the best organic fish selection out of all my local supermarkets so I did get some lovely prawns, salmon and smoked salmon.
Came home to find out my best friends dog had to be put down this morning, he has been poorly for a while but I'm still very upset. I keep looking at my dog and feeling v sad as he doesn't know his best friend has died! All v upsetting so I baked some bran-muffins to soothe the soul and allow me to have a nice little ED-friendly treat.
Had a nightmare getting RJ yo bed tonight so didn't eat until after 9...not good, I still need to do power circuits and it's 10.25! We must try and eat earlier!
food:
B'fast: banana and a few nuts
Snack: apple and a few nuts
Lunch: Parma ham, avocado and rocket salad
Snack: bran muffin
Dinner: cold pork and bubble & squeak. Another bran muffin for pud.
Hopefully tomorrow will be less turbulent..

The weekend-days 4 & 5
Fantastic weekend.....am soooooo loving my exercise again...it feels great to be active and feel those muscles working again.....and boy are they working again!
Yesterday I completed the meltdown, and had a hilarious cardio workout in the garden with RJ "helping" I was bouncing on the trampette and he would come and bounce too, then I would jog round and he would chase me...the 15 minutes went really quickly! I'm also pleased to report that I have increased my original assessments on the ICP. An hour long dentists appt could not wipe the grin from my face!
Food -wise 100% ED:
Brekkie: scrambled egg and smoked salmon
Lunch: prawn and avo salad with a drizzle of olive oil
Dinner: huge steak, home-made chips and lots of curly cale and broccoli
Snacks: fruit & nuts
Fell asleep @ 9.15 in front of True Grit...not a reflection on the film...it seemed very good I was just pooped, then stumbled upstairs at 10.30, lights-out at 11 and then wide awake at 5.10!!! Ended up listening to my hypno-pod casts to try and stop my brain going round and round! Fnally fell asleep again after an hour
When I eventually woke, meditation for an hour, then meltdown in the garden, then a walk with the dog. Then to the gym and my cardio was a lovely 15 min swim followed by a 15 min sauna. Shower and hair appt...how lovely!
Had my mum round for roast pork dinner cooked by my delightful husband! But before tea she timed my IcP...managed to knock 20secs off...v pleased!
Did the Power Circuits tonight with my husband watching to make sure I was banana backing and not stretching my lower back...fi hers crossed all seems ok now!
Food 100% again:
Brekkie: apple and banana
Lunch: Dax orange muffin and some nuts...not enough but was on the run
Tea: roast pork with all the trimmings and strawberries and yog for pud
Off to bed now to try and catch up on sleep...
Finished

Friday-day 3 @ the beach...
Spent a lovely day at the beach today with my friend and her 2 sons. She is on a v similar eating plan but for a very different reason... she has ottosclerosis a terrible (incurable) disease that is sadly making her deaf (she's only 37 it is hideous!) the thing she suffers with most though is terrible tinutus & she has just started seeing a Naturapath who has not only given her remedies and supplements galore but also drastically changed her diet. She is on a no wheat/caffein/alcohol diet and has to incorporate lots of extra bits too. To see my friend you would think she wants for nothing, incredibly beautiful with 2 lovely sons & a drop-dead gorgeous husband but the one thing she wants is out of her reach... V sad indeed!
Anyway she made a scrummy lunch for us...a buckwheat spinach salad topped with sardines, tomatoes, cucumber and seeds...yum! I think her seed mix had soya beans which I'm not sure if we can have but I figure if that's the worst thing I do then that ain't bad! I took us both over a Dax muffin which we enjoyed with a cup of rooibosh and In-between showers the boys played on the beach... RJ had a blast whilst we caught up! I must ask her about my substitute exercises actually as she'll be able to help me for sure as she is a PT.
Full mobility matrix this morning..snap crackle and pop went my joints! And then mini mobility matrix and 2 x meltdowns this evening..feels so good to start pushing again and I can't wait to get to the gym tomorrow.
In bed writing this tonight...am pooped and its past 11 so Here's the food:
B'fast: apple, banana, rasbs, yog, seeds and nuts
Lunch: salad
Snack: Dax orange muffin
Tea chilli chicken, wild rice and roasted onions, pepper and tomatoes..no pud as v full!

Thursday-DAY TWO
Today has been a most splendid day...swimming with RJ then lunch at the gym. I did the mobility matrix and then 2 meltdowns in the garden this evening with RJ "helping!".....cuteness personified!
Feels so amazing to be back exercising again although I was a little nervous with the mobility matrix and definitely took it slowly but I'm ok with that...I would rather that then have my pelvis flare up again!
Told the gym today that the Osteo had advised me to cancel my power plates course, they wouldn't give me my money back so I'm getting a PT sesh instead which will be fab! Got that booked in for next week and I can't wait.
My annoying cold is even more annoying...don't feel poorly just have the runniest nose in Hampshire! TMI I know but it is seriously ridiculous! Have been eating sooooo much garlic to try and get rid of it I'll be loosing all my friends before it goes!
Did some more baking today...tried Dax's orange muffins with almond flour and coconut oil substituting his rice flour and olive oil...and they are lush...so moist...will be taking them to my friends house tomorrow who is on a similar eating plan although hers is from a Naturapath for tinutus.
Here's my food for the day:
B'fast: 1/2 cataloupe and raspberries
Lunch: grilled chicken breast and salad at the gym
Dinner: roast pork steak with roasted veg and a yummy muffin with fresh mango for pud
Cam tea, meditate and bed for me!
