Okay, I am fairly disappointed with that result. I didn't think I'd stay exactly the same. WHAT THE HELL?!
I need to keep positive though, and after this weekend off get back into the swing of it.
On the upside, even though the scale hasn't moved, the inches have, which means I have lost something somewhere.

No, I haven't died...
I've just been super super busy.
I had an unplanned break from the diet (ahhh failure!!)...so my weight has stayed the same for my last two weigh-ins at home which I didn't post on here. I have lost inches though, so there will be an update on that with 'official' weigh-in #2 on Friday.
I got ill with a stupid cold which didn't go away for about two weeks and Richard arrived so I just didn't really stick to it very well.
I've been back on it this week (although that's only been since monday). My last full day will be Thursday because I have a PLANNED break. We're going away this weekend for my grandma's birthday, so I can't very well bring shakes to a hotel. I'm just not that hardcore.
The diet will resume after though, never fear. The only other break I have is the weekend of my hen party (because no food+alcohol is probably not the greatest idea).
I also went to the gym Monday evening and Tuesday evening. I think I've left it too late to go to spinning class today. It's 6.55am and I'm still sitting in a towel. Spinning starts at 7.30am. Whoooooooooops. Oh well, at least there's Thursday evening.
At least I worked out twice, right??
I won't be able to go tonight because I'm making my grandma a cake for her birthday. It's going to be epic. It'll be a rainbow coloured cake (6 freaking layers) with a princess castle made of brownies on top. Please note I've never actually made a cake like this before, or even baked anything in about 3 years. It should get interesting. Even if it's horribly ugly I'm sure I will still take a picture to show to internet land.
Not really much else to report, aside from the fact that I AM HUNGRIES.
Hopefully I'll lose a decent number this week or I'll be angry, considering I started exercising again too. Oh well, only another 2 days till the weigh-in. COME ON WII FIT, BE GOOD TO ME!

An update on the last few days...
Okay, so, Thursday. Dear, sweet Thursday.
My Thursday started off like this:
But soon turned into this:
Oh, but for why? Well, I shall tell you. THE VANILLA SHAKE WAS THE SPAWN OF THE DEVIL. Much like its twin brother: our friend, the chocolate shake.
It seriously tasted indescribable, but it was foul. The coffee seemed to make it taste more decent, but I have a feeling I'll end up splitting the vanilla/chocolate shakes in half and making 2 coffees with them, because it's ridiculously hard to swallow.
That not being the only problem, of course. As I'd already mixed my shake with water, we already had a substantial volume of liquid. I decided I wanted this warm, so ended up with more liquid than anyone should be thinking about consuming at that time of the morning.
Anyway, I survived, albeit a little bit full of liquids. I had the chocolate orange bar for lunch. It has real chocolate chips in it, which is probably the only nice part about it. I just don't like the taste. My dad tried a bit and said it was good, but I don't trust him considering he thinks protein shakes taste good.
I wasn't around Thursday night because I had a date with my daddy! I bought tickets to see Social Distortion for his birthday. It was more for my benefit than for his, but he really enjoyed it the last time we went.
Both my dad and I found the crowd interesting. For one, this time around there were a lot more younger people there than compared to when I saw them first a few years ago and the second time a few years later. I don't really keep up to date with bands/music any more so I had no idea they had a new album out. But anyway... the 20 - 25 somethings that were there were all covered head to toe in tattoos. Some guy even had them ALL OVER his face, like the extreme tattoos you'd see on a documentary (like that one with the person trying to be a cat or whatever).
It was just interesting to me because throughout all the shows I've been to, I've never seen so many people with extensive work on them. It gets me wondering why I've never really seen people like that just on the street (where do they go in the day time?!) and what kind of jobs they hold. I mean, they can't ALL be in music or tattooing where it's more acceptable to have tattoos. A lot of people, had tattoos or piercings, or hairstyles that wouldn't go down so well in any kind of office, because they just couldn't be covered up. I mean, I LOVE tattoos, and I'd love to be covered with them... but I draw a line on where I get tattooed. The rules I have are only that they must be able to be covered in a professional situation. I'm studying to be an accountant so I need to hold the image of a professional. There's still a stigma attached to being heavily tattooed, or tattooed at all, especially in certain jobs. Whether it's right or wrong, it doesn't change the fact that it's there, hence why I wonder where these people work.
Mini-debate over.
So when we got to Shepherd's Bush, we passed this amazing looking asian buffet place. It had usual fried stuff (which is so yummy, not gonna lie) but it also had some really delicious looking salads. Of course, I was sad that I couldn't eat it. Then we stopped in a shisha café across the street and my dad got a coffee and a sandwich. They had the most AMAZING looking home made cake there. There was a chocolate cake which just looked incredibly moist, and had about an inch of ganache on it. Again, I was sad I couldn't eat it. My dad kept saying that a sandwich wouldn't do any harm and I could eat something, but I'd had my shake for dinner so I said I was okay. I think he feels bad when I'm not eating, lol.
The show was really good, although I wish I'd have worn different clothes because my jeans were slightly too big and kept falling down. Oh well! Afterward, my dad stopped in McDonald's to get a burger while I sat there virtuously with a bottle of water and a coke zero. It was almost like torture. I mean, you don't bring a fatty to a McDonald's when they can't eat anything!!
After we got home, my mum had leftovers from her dinner sitting on the counter. She'd ordered Chinese (aka my favourite thing ever). It took a LOT of restraint to not devour the whole thing. I just went and smelled each dish (yes, I know that's awfully strange) and went upstairs.
Friday wasn't too bad, although I was tired from the night before and getting really hungry. I ended up perving over food menus from fast food places here, in Canada and in the America. It's pretty sad, I must admit. I actually didn't get to sleep until 4am because my stomach was just like GRUMBLERUMBLE. Then I woke up at 8am needing to pee, which was not cool in my book.
Today has been a little bit harder since I haven't had much distraction. I'm not overly hungry any more, which is good. But I did have a little piece of lean ham and a small slice of cheese today from my parent's lunch. They had samosas, onion bhajis, prawn toasts, bread, cheese, salad and ham. I had serious food envy.
What I had probably weighed less than 10g, and it's not the type of thing that will take me out of ketosis, so I don't think that'll cause ruin and destruction to my weight loss.
And yes, as above. I am now in ketosis. I don't know when I got there but I checked last night and my pee stick had a lovely shade of dark pink. I swear it is so difficult to pee on a stick. I'm not going to lie to anyone, I definitely peed on my hand a bit while trying to get it on the stick.
If you've stuck with this post to the end, kudos. It's almost a mini-essay. I hope everyone is having a good weekend and enjoying some yummy food on my behalf!
My Thursday started off like this:
Vanilla shake and black coffee
But soon turned into this:
Vanilla shake mixed with black coffee (let's not pretend it's anything like a vanilla latte, cause it ain't)
Oh, but for why? Well, I shall tell you. THE VANILLA SHAKE WAS THE SPAWN OF THE DEVIL. Much like its twin brother: our friend, the chocolate shake.

I'm wearing a strapless top. I'm not naked, I swear.
I love my daddy!
Shepherd's Bush Empire
The stage and a liiiiiiittle bit of Mike Ness

Weigh-in #1...
Weigh-in #1 result: -7lbs (1/2 stone, 3.18kg)
Total time on diet: 3 days
Average daily loss: 2.3lbs (1.045kg)
Total loss from HW: 46lbs (3 stone 4lbs, 20.9kg)
***
Ok, so I really wasn't expecting THAT much! I am pretty damn pleased!
I mean, I know most of that is water, but it still feels good to see weight coming off like that.
I have 9lbs to lose to get back to where I was in October 2010. Hopefully that will only take around two weeks.
I tried to take pics with my webcam, but unfortunately they were all crappy and blurry. Although Richard may take pics for comparison starting next week.
I'll be taking my inches next week instead of this week too. I'm not sure whether I'll do those every week or every two weeks.
Moving on to week #2!

But tomorrow there will be an update of the last few days, as well as a weigh in.
Until then, taraaaa!
