Up early for work and I had a late breakfast (hot chocolate) at about 10am. Lunch was a huuuuuuuuuge portion of piping hot soup and then off to uni lectures. Working hard for once, I didn't leave the library until I was kicked out, and so dinner was a later one, a delicious hot mint choc shake at about 8.30pm.
Today I had a bit of a chocolate craving again, but I just cracked on with work and ignored it. I don't think I'm drinking enough water (still) - must work on this.
Tomorrow I'm going away for a week (working) - I'll be living in a mobile home in the middle of nowhere so in some respects it'll be easier to stick to the Lipotrim, but the people who I'll be working with eat a lot of chocolate biscuits and I must resist! Once of my friends will be coming over for a girly night, so we are likely to get some food (either go to the pub or get a takeaway) - I'm going to suggest going to the pub as it's easier to make healthy, low-carb choices that won't knock me out of ketosis. I shall also be boycotting the usual wine!!
I'll also not have internet access while I'm away so I'll have to update this when I get back.

18/11/07 - Day 18
I slept in really late after my late night, so didn't have my breakfast shake (a hot chocolate) until 11am. Then I left the house and did plenty of walking and horsey-chores, and came back in very very soggy and cold indeed!
I had a hot vanilla shake with cinnamon in at about 3pm - yum yum. Another hot chocolate for dinner and another day done!

Woke up still feeling full from the meal! I had another busy day. Started the day with a chocolate shake, then we all went out. I took my lipotrim shaker and a chocolate sachet with me and had that at lunch while we were out and about. I was very very active and came home slightly craving food.
Having learnt my lesson last time I decided to have some protein, and while I cooked my friends gammon, chips and beans (very healthy!!) I cooked myself a lean pork chop. It was just the ticket, and that together with the soup stood me in good stead for a night of dancing!

16/11/07 - Day 16
Another busy day! I started the day with a lovely hot chocolate shake, and then went shopping with my friends. We were out for a long time, so we popped into a cafe for them to get some lunch and I had a pot of tea. When we got home, I had some soup.
In the evening, we all went out for a carefully planned meal. We went to the pub and I ordered garlic mushrooms for started - unfortunately, I hadn't expected them to be coated in breadcrumbs so not as low-carb as I had planned (but bloody DELICIOUS!!) followed by a lovely lean gammon steak with fried egg and vegetables - I'd ordered extra green veg instead of chips / potatoes. It was delicious but I got full quickly! I just drank water all night.
I enjoyed the meal and am glad I decided to have it, but I still felt like I was cheating and am not keen to do that too often, even though I made careful choices and stayed in ketosis.

15/11/07 - Day 15
A very hectic hectic day today, which always works well on the diet for me because I don't have time to think about cheating, let alone do it!! Good day all round. Some friends arrived to stay late afternoon, and I cooked for them and then sat down with my soup and had a meal together. That's the first time I've sat down to have a 'meal' with other people, and it was great, I didn't feel jealous at all!
2nd Weigh In
Second weigh in this morning. I decided I wanted to know how different my home scales were from the pharmacy scales, so I could weigh myself most accurately at home, first thing in the morning, naked.
So, on my scales first thing this morning I showed as 12st 2lbs. Then I got dressed and weighed myself again, as I would be at the pharmacy - and showed as 12st 6lbs!! Heavy clothes!
I trundled straight to the pharmacy (so was weighed within 30 mins of weighing myself at home) and those scales showed me as 12st 3lbs - so, pharmacy scales are 3lbs lighter, and pharmacist assures me they are expensive, super-accurate ones, so todays 'true' naked weight is... 11st 13lbs! Hurrah, broken another stone barrier!! Especially pleased after chocolate incident.

14/11/07 - Day 14
Got weighed this morning (see next entry!) and got my next week of TFR - this time they were short of vanilla, my favourite, so I got 7 soups, 3 vanilla, and 11 chocolate.
A good day today, no dizziness, generally feeling much better but I've realised I'm not really drinking enough water.
