Days 169 - 172

On Thursday I was working from home. Although that sounds like it could be a recipe for dieting disaster, when I work at home I tend to be too preoccupied to think about eating things I shouldn't and I behaved myself pretty well this time despite feeling pretty hungry. Even though I still wasn't in ketosis, I ended the day feeling really positive. Friday was similar to Thursday. I was moderately busy and thought that I would be able to keep things under control quite easily, but when boyfriend made himself a few toasted muffins and found his eyes were bigger than his belly and couldn't finish them all, I needed no persuasion whatsoever and I'm embarrassed to say I ate the last one.

After a good Thursday and a cheaty Friday (damn muffins, why do they have to be so delicious?) I was worried all my good work would go to pot at the weekend but I managed to keep things under control quite easily for a change. Maybe it's because the boyfriend was doing some overtime on Saturday, or perhaps having set goals is really good for me and genuinely helps me focus. I also got to have a look at the menu for boyfriend's dad's wedding reception and it looks fantastic!. There was nothing on there I could eat and still stay within CD rules so I'm just going to let go for the day and enjoy it. I know I can get back on track again the next day. Here's what I'll be having:
  • Roast Red Pepper and Tomato soup with herb oil and croutons
  • Sea Bass Fillets on herb crushed potatoes with a cherry tomato and creme fraiche sauce
  • White Chocolate Cheesecake with raspberry compote
My biggest concern is feeling unwell from all the food that my digestive system isn't used to. I remember my stomach hurting every time I had bread over Xmas, potato and pasta weren't such a problem, but rice and bread made me feel quite sick. I really hope my poor belly can take it because it looks like it's going to be a stunning meal.
