Ok,
So I'm on a HUGE natural high this morning that is only partially due to the fact that I had a coffee for the first time in 2 weeks...
Last night I got up the courage to try on some of my old clothes that I've been keeping in my closet from when I lost a bunch of weight 5 years ago.
Item #1: the only "little black dress" I have ever owned. S...

So today, I was on a natural high after 45 mins of cardiowe've got to stop and reflect on that sentence for a minute... wtf! I've NEVER been able to do 45 mins of cardio in my ENTIRE LIFE!! this week I've done it almost every day! woot!

Of course havin...

Then yesterday my husband had a craving for greek food. Since turning vegan (3 months ago) we haven't really eaten o...

So,I've been off to a slow start which was a little off-putting because, from the few times I've lost weight before, I've been able to keep a momentum for, at least, the first few months due to the huge initial success.
I think this time it was due to the fact that I had been eating quite wholesomely and had lost 20-25 lbs before starting CK, so there was no water-loss or kick-start of the metabolism effect to run off of.
Also having to fine tune the CK system to work for me was ...
