Day 14 & 15....

SUNDAY:

Day 14 and todays weigh in is a gain of 150 grams...... so 4.4 Kilos down in 14 days, Week 2 official weigh in is tomorrow. The 100 days of weigh in, is actually helping to keep me on track :).

Went to the supermarket today, and it was so cold and wet, we decided to have KFC for lunch, as we had not had any breakfast. My god it was nice..... especially when it was so cold. 

Its suppose to be Spring and still the weather is bloody cold, and tomorrow and Tuesday is only going to get a high of 9 degrees....bbbbrrrrrrr. 

This morning I planned out most of next weeks meal plan...
Monday - Bun-less or Low Carb Buns burgers 
Tuesday - Low CarbTandoori Chicken
Wednesday - Low Carb Meatloaf
Thursday - Low Carb Chicken Wings
Friday - Takeouts
Saturday - Slow Cooker beef Strogonoff
Sunday - David Cooks

Tonight New Zealand starts another series of Married at First Sight, I dont want to watch it, cause I will get addicted, its utter crap but then again I dont have much else happening in my life. 

MONDAY:

Weigh in today for Day 15 is a gain of 100 grams (the KFC maybe lol), anyway week 2 official weigh in is a loss of 1.5 Kilos and a total loss of 4.3 Kilos. 

It is raining again today and bloody cold... currently 8 degrees and a high of 9 degrees bbbbrrrrrrrr. 

Need to focus on water and walks this week... but not today.

Tonights dinner is bun-less or low carb bun hamburgers, so nice and easy :). 

Its nearly 12pm so might go and make me some breakfast/lunch, not sure what I am having - might be bacon and eggs on this chilly day :)

Might sign off now, otherwise another day will go by and will forget to post again :). 

Day 13.....

Day 13/100 weigh in is down 350 grams from yesterday and 4.55 kilos down in 13 days. 

I am not going to lie, I am really struggling with keeping on track, but I am doing it, just trying to focus on one hour at a time, now that I am allowed to drive short distances, I know I can go out and get food..... didn't make the butter chicken last night, it is currently in the crockpot as I write this. That way dinner will be ready at dinner time, and I wont be tempted to eat crap food. I made the rice last night and is in the fridge keeping cold, all ready to have with it. 

No water again yesterday... maybe today, the sun is out but its cold out there. I was going to put makeup on today but couldn't be bothered, though I did actually dress in a nice skirt and the new top I got from K&K the other day (picture in day 9).

I want to change furniture around, but I can't - I hate not being able to do much, I hate it so much.......

Blood glucose levels are coming down - hopefully they dont jump back up again. Dinner was really nice... no photos again today. 

Catch you all soon, better post this before the next day comes.

Day 11 & 12

Thursday

I am feeling really down right now, I keep hearing the specialist/surgeon's words, saying that I have the most extreme damage of tendons that could possibly be and that recovery is not like a standard tendon rupture repair.... He has never seen so much damage in a hand before, and he is a hand specialist that has done extensive training and work over seas as well as New Zealand. Under normal circumstances, I would more than likely be starting back at nails part time in the next week or so. Also this rain doesn't help, and things are a bit stressed on the home-front.

It's hard seeing my regular clients that have been with me for years, going somewhere else, I am not even sure if they will come back. 

Weigh in today was 200 grams down from yesterday..... as for my blood sugars, it can take 3 weeks or even longer for my sugars to lower, so not going to stress too much right now, I will check them daily and if in another 2 or so weeks, nothing has really changed then back to the doctor.

Managed to drink my litre of water yesterday, now need to do it again today. Dinner tonight is homemade fish and chips, tomorrow night am going to make a low carb butter chicken in the crockpot. 

Have my hand therapist today, can drive myself, be nice to have some independence. 

Whoops forgot to post....

Friday:

Weigh in today and down 900 grams down from yesterday so 4.2 Kilos down in 12 days :).

Walking has been bad this week, bloody rain and cold... and water yesterday was a disaster, drunk none - certainly a lot easier to drink on warmer sunny days.

Still feeling down, I need to snap out of it.....

Nothing else planned for the day, so might post this now....

Day 10...

Day 10 and gained 500 grams from yesterday, yip had a high carb day with takeaways, but it's ok, am back on track today. Yesterday I struggled with the news that I wont be doing nails for another two months.

Today I am going to drive to the supermarket, a walk prob wont be happening, as it is wet and cold outside. 

Had a shower this morning, first one in six weeks without having to wear a splint and plastic bag over it. I must admit by the end of it, the hand/wrist was getting pretty sore. 

Drove to the supermarket (2k's there and 2k's back), it was a little sore by the time I got home (Oh and I still have to wear the splint). Tomorrow I will drive to the hand therapist that is 3k's away :).

Dinner tonight is schnitzel stuffed with ham and cheese, and am doing a curried egg salad, and not sure what veges. Forgot the photo, but it all turned out nice. 

Anyway better get this up before midnight strikes

Day 9

Todays weigh in - 1*2.4 kilos, a loss of 800 grams since yesterday, cant wait till I get in the next lower middle digit :).

Made the Scotch Eggs yesterday, the recipe said 6, I could only make 4 with the pork mince as I couldn't properly spread the mince out with only 1 hand, but they still turned out nice. Cant wait till I can use two hands properly again.

Here is the pic, as you can tell I couldn't wrap the mince around all of them properly, but hey they still taste the same.

I am about to head out the door to my surgeon/specialist appointment, wish me luck....

Ok back from specialist now, and am allowed to drive very small distances like 5kms max..... am also allowed to take my splint off for small periods of time, but if my hand starts getting sore, or my fingers droop more than now I need to put it back on full time for a bit again and try a week later. He has given me a medical certificate till the end of October..... so no nails till then :(. I still have to wear it at night for at least another 6 weeks. I go back to see the specialist in 6 weeks. 

After that we went and had lunch at Bayfair, have not been there for ages, didn't really enjoy it as my arm was quite sore, probably should have had it in a sling when out and about, did go to 'K&K Fashion' and David purchased this top for me.... it is a lot brighter in real life :).

Anyway think I will sign off for today, am feeling a bit down right now, excited I can drive a bit, but another 8 weeks of work....... have no idea whats for dinner, maybe a low carb takeaway....

Day 8 and Official Week 1 Weigh In....

Day 8 and lost 700 grams from yesterdays weigh in, and  official Week 1 weigh in - lost 2.8 Kilos, am happy with that :).

Only walked 3 times last week, going to aim for more this week.....today I did 11.46 minutes, creeping up bit by bit :)

I am struggling a bit, I really thought after 6 weeks I would be further along after my surgery, I still cant move my middle finger up, and my ring finger hardly moves as well. Cant wait till I see the surgeon tomorrow, hopefully he can reassure me, and that I have not damaged any of the repaired tendons and they still need time to heal. 

Oh forgot to take a pic of the dinner, but here are the left over meatballs, they were really yummy in that sauce. David took some for lunch today and I also will have some today (they tasted much nicer than they looked in this pic). :)

Tonights dinner is chicken breast with garlic/herb butter, so nice and easy in the air-fryer and also am thinking I might make some keto scotch eggs today, if I have the ingredients. Be good for David's lunch as well as mine :). Right now I am trying to keep things exciting. 

This week I am going to try and focus on drinking 1 litre of water a day..... done

Just cooking the scotch eggs as I finish this post off... will take a pic and post it tomorrow. No walk tomorrow as I have the specialist appointment wish me luck 

Have a great day/night where ever you are :)

Day 7 and First Day of Spring :)

Day 7 weigh in and we have a gain of 50 grams..... so a 2.1 kilo loss to date, oh and my glucose readings were quite a bit down today, in fact just about close to being in the normal range :).

Sleep pattern - not sure when I last updated my sleep pattern....

Thursday - Bed 11.30pm - awake 8am
Friday - Bed 1.30am - awake 8am
Saturday - Bed 11.30pm - awake 9am

Last night we had chicken wrapped in bacon, I was going to make it myself but they only had chicken breast at the local supermarket and really couldn't be bothered making it, when I saw already made ones in the butchery compartment, I asked what was in them and he said chicken thigh wrapped in bacon, because they were the right way up, when he put them in the tray I didn't see the stuffing in them, whoops - anyway I cooked them in the air-fryer and they turned out delicious, the mushrooms so were nice as well. In fact I am having the rest for breakfast, oh and yes I did eat the stuffing :). 

Anyway this is what it looked like and sorry the photo is crap.... see the stuffing, also dont know why I even have a knife on the plate I cant even use one with the splint lol

Yesterday I said going low carb is more expensive, I say that cause meals cost more, like this meal with everything came to just under $20.00 with mushrooms/bacon etc.... in the past we may have had a supermarket pizza/pie or sausages and potatoes and peas for $10.00 (this is just a basic example), also snacks consist of salami/cheese.... low carb crackers are $6.00 for half the size of normal crackers and triple the price. Before low carb, it would be chip/lollies/normal crackers etc.... yes it is the wrong foods but thats the reality thats the food that got me to that big. At the moment, when I only have one hand, it is pretty hard to cook from scratch, Almond/Coconut flour is also double the price if not more than normal flour....last night I cooked the mushrooms with one hand, and just things like cutting up the mushrooms and bacon takes so much work. Using cream in sauces's is more expensive than just a normal gravy. Keto/Low Carb bread is round the $9.00 a loaf rather than a normal loaf for about $3.00.  Yes in time I will start eating less, once I lose more weight, but for now, right now it is more expensive to eat this way :)

Speaking of food, for dinner tonight, we are having 'Keto Hamburger Patties with Creamy Tomato Sauce', we wont have cabbage though with it, not sure what we might have, am feeling like some fries so might have some french fries with it - (I am not doing keto remember), I am ok about having french fries once a week/fortnight or so...... I will have to remove the splint to make the patties. 

Anyway another beautiful day out there today and it is 16 degrees, our warmest day since I dont know when...., might drag all the cushions out on the chairs and relax outside for a bit today. Better make the most of the weather as it is suppose to rain all of next week :(. 

Going to post now, while I remember :)

Have a great day/night, wherever you are :)
