Let's Try again


Day 1  Monday



weigh in

92kg ouch.
waist 107cm, but my belly (section around belly button) is bigger at 114cm.  My rib cage, as measured right under my boobs are 96cm.
Hips 115.5cm
Bust 116cm.

I have so much to lose.

No breakfast yet this morning.  Only a mug of black tea.
Had a quick walk on the beach, but it started pouring rain, so I probably only lasted 15mins. Am thirsty and givene the overnight fast would be in a mild state of ketosis.  I can't help wondering whether this time around sending my body into ketosis would be less of a shock and thus less effective than the first time I did this experiment.
When I first attempted LCHF all those years ago, I could not even imagine not eating carbs.  I didn't know that it would be possible, it was going to be a huge learning curve.
This time the concept is not an alien one.  I know how it feels, I know I can do it easily.  The hard part is staying with it.  Self discipline. ahhhh.  THAT'S the hard part.

Food

It's 10.30 and I am hungry.  So here starts the day's eating.....
Breakfast:
Three egg scrambled eggs cooked in butter.
Black Coffee

Lunch:
Lamb,pumpkin,carrot, onion, gravy wrapped in nori.
Dandelion tea, splash of milk.

Snack:
handful of nuts, 85% chocolate.

Dinner: Spaghetti bolognaise with zucchini noodles.  The meat sauce was made of mince, tomato puree (no added sugar), capsicum, onion, garlic, mushrooms, herbs and tomatoes.

Post dinner: Cup of dandelion tea with splash of soy milk.

Mangoes


This always happens in February, we have an abundance of delicious mangoes.  These must be eaten of course.  So I need to reserve at least some of my carb allowance for some mango each day.
Yesterday we picked all of the left over mangoes from our tree.  I figure there are about two weeks left of mangoes to eat.  I counted 25 mangoes last night.

It is interesting, the mangoes look green and unripe.  These ones are still hard, so are not ripe.  But over the next week they shall soften and ripen, but remain green.  Some will get a slight yellow blush, but most will still look very unripe, even though inside they will be a gorgeous yellow/orange colour and soft, sweet and ripe.
