Thread: 10st10lbs' Diary - been away for far too long!

Not really looking forward to the rest of the day Going out in a little while on a kind of big-ish family trip to the park to soak up some sun, I'll be surprised it there isn't any junk food in sight! Then we'll probably be going back to my aunt's house afterwards, which will probably mean chips (it won't go down well if I offer to make them the SW way, there'll be about 10 kids and there's no patience) and various other high-syn foods...

Thank you soccermom Good luck to you too, you've had great losses so far! I haven't had a WI in two weeks, group is tomorrow morning but won't be able to make it so hoping that by the time I get to group next, which will probably be next Thursday, I will have had a nice big drop *crosses fingers* xxx

Spent 2 hours slaving over the cooker without snacking and without sitting down... Not very long when I think about it, but at that time, I was knackered! And starving by the time I got to tuck into my lovely lunch, recipe taken from the 7 days to success book in my pack. The meal was requested by my 9 year old brother who sits at the dining table with the book open to that page every day, begging me to make it again!

So, I took some spaghetti and meatballs for OH during his lunch break yesterday and he said he felt really spoiled getting a fresh made meal, lol, insisted on making me lunch today! I had a very light syn-free breakfast this morning, not knowing what he was going to make, although I asked him to please write down what he used and then came lunch time... He'd forgotten to make it! Sort of messed my day up a little bit but now I look back to 6 hours ago and it was all in the minddd :@ Any-hooooo...

Any help would really be appreciated xxx

Oh and weighed myself this morning, home scales showed about 10st4lbs they usually tell you you're a bit heavier than you actually are so I think I may be 10st2lbs... Either way, it looked so good to see the needle on the other side of the 10 and a half mark! Hope to keep sticking to the healthy eating even when I'm away (going to see family for 4 days on Saturday, may be a bit of a challenge) so that WI next Thursday will possibly show me reaching 10st.. I'm giddy just thinking about it!

Last day before a trip away! Been on track for one whole week, oh so proud of myself, will be extremely gutted if all goes to pot over the next 4 days Here's hoping it doesn't...
