I’ve been so rubbish ..

Posted on by KerryLouise

Diet!! Meh !!! 

Food!! Meh !!!

Still chunky !!!!!! Meh!! 

My last post I promised 40 days well yeh that didn’t happen! I then put on instagram 21 days (till a night out) and that hasn’t happened. So now I’m nearly day 1 down of it actually happening .. 

No Junk Food, No Wheat, No Sugar ! No gluten free substitutes either!

I really do need to crack on with this now or come January 1st I’m going to find myself looking worse than I did a month ago! 

I’m taking my start weight as 14 stone 2, 2 stone heavier than my pre pregnancy weight. OH is getting tired of hearing me say ‘diet starts tomorrow’ and to be honest SO AM I! 

Things are good in my relationship but I know with me feeling better about myself it could still be better. I’m still feeling vulnerable, my mind still works overtime at times and although he still calls me beautiful and our sex life is good I know deep down he would love to see me comfortable in my own skin again! 

I cannot believe my baby is 11 weeks today and wow what an 11 weeks! She also slept from 9:30pm – 8am last night , such a good little girl !

Day 1/40

Posted on by KerryLouise

So there’s 40 days left of this year and after doing so well with my diet I then went way off the rails over my birthday weekend. My weight loss stood at 2 stone 3 lbs, weighing in at 14 stone 2. Exactly 2 stone heavier than I was this time last year. I’m not weighing myself now until Christmas Eve!! 

I haven’t updated my blog in a while and I do need to fill in the gaps. All that needs to be said now is .. my man is back home. He’s back to being amazing, and loving. The man I know he can be. I see him with our daughter and my heart bursts with love. I actually don’t know how I got through 4 weeks of knowing he was with someone else!! Crazy!! 

I’m feeling crappy today. My first period in 11 months is proving to be hellish and I’m feeling a little run down. I would love to just eat rubbish but it’s just a vicious circle. Dominic is out playing pool and knowing I’m feeling crappy he text me saying ‘hope you’re feeling ok’, crazy to think that 5 weeks ago he didn’t seem to even think about me. Although he has later admitted that was never the case.

Baby Ariana is gorgeous! Trying tonight to get her into more of a routine since I’m not breastfeeding as much anymore. I can hear her talking to herself in her crib but she’s there and she’s been there since 8:30pm. Hoping to have mastered that by New Year and also my 8 year old ! Far too many late nights for her! 

Breakfast: Granola and milk (was meant to use almond milk but was in auto pilot)

Lunch: chicken drumsticks

Dinner: rice and lamb curry leftover from what Dom made last night 

Snacks: Banana, apple, cereal bar, olives

Drinks: Detox tea (must drink more water) 

Exercise: None

Cigarettes: 2!!! (Bad)

Day 2 sickness 

Posted on by KerryLouise

imageToday has been awful and I can only hope that tomorrow is better. Obviously I wrote mid afternoon yesterday after I had realised what a dumbarse I had been with making my juices but I still felt ok. Evening struck and I realised I could no way stomach the purple thing (Ruby Tuesday) knowing the pineapple skin was in it. Instead I had some fruit. Then the 7pm juice I managed half. Dominic the forever supporting boyfriend drank what I couldn’t, even knowing about the pineapple skin, bless him. My sickness began after the half of juice and at around 11pm I was sick. Gross! Although hardly anything came up of course. I knew I needed something a little substantial before bed for any chance of juicing today, so I finished the evening on a strip of mackerel. Strange I know but curbed the sickness.

I woke today and thought about a glass full of greens, it made me shudder !! I not only still felt sick but also very weak. The school run was a chore and as I was due in for work at 12pm I knew I had to try and get rid of this sickness. More mackerel then! It helped for a while but the thought of work filled me with fear. Luckily I managed to swap my shift today so I could get through day 2 pretty much glued to my bed. Now I say day 2 but it hasn’t been really, I’ve gone off the ‘juice cleanse’ plan but I have still eaten clean and minimal. I can barely stomach much anyway. Chicken breast and veg for tea, figured if I’m not juicing it I still best eat it.

I hope the sickness is gone by tomorrow, but I also hope my appetite stays away.

Enough is Enough… 

Posted on by KerryLouise

imageDespite getting myself to the gym every morning and completing a small run I still was not getting anywhere fast. I know tiny steps are best but when I gained this weight in such a short space of time, I want it gone in equally a short space of time. I found myself still constantly hungry and making bad food choices and just not able to put the God damn food down!!

SO… I planned last week after recommendation from my sister to do a juice detox. Now she’s managed to lose weight using this fancy Ninja device that cost her just short of £100 in the January sale. Fair play to her, she’s in love with it and has either a juice or a soup for breakfast and lunch then an evening meal keeping within 1000 calories for her day. I don’t want to calorie count or restrict myself so much, I want to be back to how I was and stop needing to eat everything in sight!! So … I purchased a juicer , less than £30 which wasn’t bad and purchased an app which promises me amazing results. Jason Vale 5 day juice challenge, and then by Saturday  I can wear that size 8 dress out for my friends birthday that I wore just before Christmas. It’s on!!

Sunday is a strange day to start BUT after Friday I knew it had to be sooner rather than later, my eating is out of control like I’m gaining DAILY over here!

This morning I made all my juices ready for the day. Veggie Power and Ruby Tuesday. Well I thought the first one was bad but Ruby Tuesday was just something else. Jason Vale says it’s one of the nicest, well I’m doing something wrong because there was nothing nice about pineapple, carrots, raw beetroot, raw ginger and basil! I downed it in one, and I’ve got the privilege of having to drink another one of each before the day is over! Determined though! So determined.

…..And so I just realised what maybe could have made it taste so wrong, I was meant to peel the pineapple. 🙈 What a tit!
