Thread: Miriam's Diary

Thanks Gill. I don't want to tempt fate but I just am being 100% and not even tempted. Don't get me wrong, the food on Saturday was absolutely lush, but Sunday I just got back on the wagon straight away. The only thing which affects me eating wise is boredom, I am sick of shakes and soups and bars, but it's a small price to pay for a few months to get to goal.

I hate actually 'going' to the gym, but once I am there it's fine. Yeah Aqua tonight, but I don't feel actually does anything for me, but I will swim 60/70 lengths before hand so aqua is just a bit fun afterwards. Stick in and I am sure you can do it

Went to the gym again tonight and swam 30 lengths and did an aqua class. Zumba tomorrow but giving up the Thrusday zumba class, gonna concentrate on swimming instead. Maybe do a mile twice a week. I think that's enough - 2 zumba classes, 1 aqua class (swim beforehand) and 2 miles swimming. I have been 100% since my planned meal on Saturday and still feel good although I don't feel any 'skinnier' at all !!!! WI Thursday so hope I lose at least 2.5lb to make my stone

It is also not like you to be failing???? What's going on young lady???? Now, get your act together and start losing - you know you want to. What's up, can you just not get into the zone. I know I can't do this diet unless I am psyched up, I can't just get up one day and like .... do it. I have to be ready.

But you? You are great at this. You are my guru so come on, you can't have me being skinnier than you can you? Here is a cyber kick up the arse hahahahahahaha

I heard u loud and clear 1st of Feb ready to shrink now...

Your doing fab I'm loving your exercising to let me know weigh results chicka

Go Shanny, Go Shanny!!!! Stick in there

Well I have been absolutely STARVING today, I don't know why. The only thing I can put it down to is having the fish and salad on Saturday night??? Maybe it's just hitting my system now?? but I only had grilled fish and salad and a few glasses of white wine with soda. If I had of put all the wine together without the soda I doubt it would have been half a bottle

Anyway, weigh in tomorrow morning. Dreading it actually for a number of reasons - a) week 3 isn't a good week for me after 2 good losses b) I ate on Saturday (albeit very little) and c) I don't feel any different at all

I didn't go to the gym tonight, I feel c**p, headaches, sickly feeling, and sooooooo tired. Might go tomorrow night if this headache lifts.

Been 100% again today, in fact, no way am I gonna cheat.

Got a couple of planned days/nights out within the next few weeks though:-
18th Feb - day and night but no food or drink for me
25th Feb - birthday night out so may have a few drinkies
3rd Mar - birthday meal out so fish and salad again for me

Got until August to lose this weight so not gonna kill myself for it

Well it was 3rd WI today and I only lost 1.5lb. I was disappointed in a way but I was expecting it. Week 3 is usually bad for me and I've still lost 13lb in 3 weeks. Some people lose way more than that in three weeks but there's nothing I can do. I'm having my 3 pack, my water and exercising so I can't do anything more to lose weight faster.

Didn't go to the gym tonight, think I am gonna stop my Thursday class coz it's on too late after a day at work. Next day out will be 18th February so got 17 days to try and lose a bit more. Another group of friends have arranged a birthday night out now on 10th March, so days/nights out now are 18th Feb, 24th Feb, 3rd March and 10th March. Gonna REALLY have to be careful !!!

You can do it - I am going away for a few days in just over a week with girl friends, and they all know I am doing this and have promised to support me and not let me stray, YAY for good friends x

Norwegian Girl - I wasn't planning on going out so much but have different groups of friends so can't leave anyone out hahaha. I'm lucky really so not complaining

3rd March night out is food so that's much easier to cope with - in a restaurant all night rather than a pub crawl means I can choose what I want beforehand and be careful with the wine. It's the girlie nights I am worrying about, think I might have to take the car so I can't drink

Just home from the gym. Swam 100 lengths which is more than a mile for pleased with that. Took me a hour though!

Still 100% with not a hint of a cheat, just don't want to do it. I think I have been hypnotised in my sleep lol. Making all these arrangements to go out and dreading them hahaha. Not becasue I'm am out, I am looking forward to that, seeing my mates, good night etc, I just don't want to be tempted to cheat. I will drink (little) unless I take the car but I can't park in the centre of Newcastle so dunno what I'll do. Anyway, worry about that when the time comes. So, doing ok at the moment, hope this feeling lasts

Went to the beach today with my mam and lucy and they had fish and chips. God, it killed me but I did it. Came home and had a banana shake.

Intended to go to the gym and swim 100 lengths again today but the snow made the roads quite bad so didn't think I'd risk it. Shame really coz I actually felt like doing it. If it's ok tomorrow I might go then.

It was lush at the beach, snow, wind, freezing. I love fish and chips, they are my most favourite food in the world, I could live on them (maybe that's why I am overweight hahaha). Anyway, another boring night in front of the telly

Well done Mia you're doing great really hope you've cracked it this time x

Morning Mia fish & chips story made me chuckle lol come on all that food isn't worth thinking about

You will be finished in no time now... We will be both slim for our holiday I'm going to New York xx

Just reading through your diary and you're really inspiring to have been 100% with nothing else at all Keep it up it will be so worth it xx

Thanks girls, yeah I'm feeling really positive about this diet at the moment. I just don't want to cheat. Although hands up I must admit that last night I had an extra Slim n Save bar. Its only 134 cals and still a VLCD products so not gonna class it as a cheat, just like having 4 packs really. I just wanted to chew.

Not gonna go to the gym swimming today. I remembered the kids are allowed in the water at weekends and I don't pay £38 a month to be splashed in the face by kids jumping in the water when I am trying to have a serious swim (miserable git that I am !!).

Shanny - New York!! Wow, you will have to stick in and lose as much as you can before then coz the portions there are hugh. You'll want to eat when you're there so stick in now!!

Gonna glug loads of water this next few days to see if I have a bigger loss this week. Only managed 1.5lb last week which I was a bit disappointed in. So, probs be back on later with my progress of the day. Have a good day ya' all

Was undecided about the gym today coz of the cold weather but eventually decided to go. Swam personal best - 136 lengths = 1.5 miles Took me 1hr 25 mins to do it non stop but I DID IT yayyyyyyyyy to me !!!!!
