I started off the week with focus and maintained the right diet (even though I could hardly walk as I'd cut my foot on the Sunday). I kept eating well until the weekend, when we went away and the old problem reared its head- how to eat keto when away from home. I started by making keto quiches to eat in the car Friday night and packed other snacks for the weekend. I'd also packed a nut mix for breakfast. So far, so good. If I hadn't got sick, all would have gone well. I had to take a Panadiene for a headache and that's when I discovered that keto breakfasts, while you feel full, don't actually absorb medications on the stomach. So next I had crippling stomach pains, and on the 5 hour train, the best my husband could find to put bulk on my stomach was potato chips. Yuk. They were a nasty Malaysian brand too. Having blown my carbs, I decided I might as well eat carbs for lunch too, though out want a dreadful lunch and I don't think it did much harm as I the it all up an hour or two later when the headache set in for real. The rest of the day was a write - off and I didn't eat tool the next day. I'm proud to say, I had a pretty good brunch- easy, because when I don't feel well, I tend to prefer simple food, vegies etc. A shame they gave us a complimentary piece of cake, which I had to eat of course, but then I didn't eat much else for the day, only when I had to top up my Panadiene. Monday morning my weight was way down- no surprise. Still not much appetite and I ended up in hospital for 3 days for tests, and Malaysian hospitals don't go out of their way to look after you. Didn't get any lunch Monday and the measly little hospital meals (no doubt calorie -controlled for a 50kg Asian body) meant that even though I had my husband bring up a few chocolate and cheese treats and was barely moving while imprisoned there, I maintained the weight loss for the weekend.
I hope this week I can continue with weight loss without being sick, by maintaining a healthy diet! I'm actually finding out hard to start and maintain the weight loss regardless of how religiously I stick to my eating plan or what eating plan I follow, so let's see how it goes.
