Have started induction

It looks as if you are off to a good start
Welcome to our international ADBB family

Thanks for the welcome and the encouragement.
I've been out on a 250 mile round car trip, so I made up a tuna salad and took a bottle of water.
Apart from a few hot spells and some aches, the induction flu seems to be gone.
Tomorrow I plan to start exercise, as I have a week off work.
The big test will be at the end of the week when I have friends coming to stay and I just know they will be eating all kinds of carb stuff

I am glad to hear you are feeling better now, and are planning to start exercising

As for having your friends visiting, make sure you have plenty of on-plan yummy food and snacks for yourself so you are not tempted by whatever they bring in.

I'm now 4lbs down after 5 days, so things are going well
I just hope I can keep the willpower up.
I'm motivated by the clothes in my wardrobe that I havent been able to get into for the past year or so

Today I stuck to my diet, but boy did I struggle energywise.
I was out all day so took a packed lunch of salad, boiled eggs etc.
I walked down a steep path with lots of high steps towards a river whilst carrying a heavy backpack and a tripod.
Could I get back up them?
I thought I was going to die
Never have I felt that bad, even when I used to do hard workouts at the gym.
It was like I just ran out of gas.
I guess I hadnt eaten enough at the time (my salad was back in the car).

Anyway I finally made it after several stops to, I was like an old woman
And I actually felt good after some water and my precious salad.

I'm sure it will all be worth it
