Thread: Here goes....time to get my groove back!

Well, here goes nothing! I thought it was time I started my own diary on here after spending weeks pouring through and getting inspiration from everyone else's. Fab reading by the way I guess I haven't started my own diary before now as I was afraid that this would be yet another failed SW attempt and I was scared to believe that I might actually do it this time, but you know what.....I actually think I'm really going to do it this time!!

Today was my 11th weigh in at my slimming world and I'm ecstatic to say I got my 2 stone award!!! I'm so chuffed with myself as I have been trying and failing to get this weight off since my 1st child was 12 weeks old. He's 4 now!!! So I finally believe that I can do this and I'm going to do this. Hopefully with the help of some of you lovely people

i have such a long way to go......another 6 and a half stone so I need all the help and encouragement I can get along the way!

I will slowly but surely get my groove back!

Thought i'd do a wee update on how today has gone and the food i've eaten today. Weigh day is always a bit strange for me as I don't eat much until I get weighed and then i'm normally like a woman possessed eating everything in sight (all SW friendly of course ), but I havent ate as much today as I normally would've. Anyway, today went a little something like this.....

Breakfast: Fresh pineapple, activia snackpot yogurt

Lunch: Brocolli and cheese pasta n sauce, with parmesan cheese over it (HEA)

Dinner: Chilli noodles, with 2 chilli, ginger and lime quorn fillets, mushrooms and peppers with soy sauce (totally delish)

Snacks: 6 ryvita crackerbread (HEB) topped with 60g black pepper low low cheese spread (HEA). I've actually just discovered this cheese spread and OMG, it's yum. Can't wait to try it hot through some pasta!! . I've also had two hifi rocky road bars for my other HEB choice, and guess what.....i've still to have my post weigh in treat!!!! I don't normally go mad, just a choc bar or a nice packet of crisps. Just waiting on hubby bringing me something back from the shops!!

Here's to another good day tomorrow. I totally love SW!!!

subscribing. great to see you so positive

Yay....thanks for subscribing to my diary and for the comment about me being positive. It really helps to know i'll have support along the way. Off to bed now. Will be back tomorrow for an update. Nighty night

More diaries - yay! Sounding really positive and awesome, keep it going x

Congrats on your weightloss so far TootyFrooty your doing fab, and 11 WI's for 2 st is amazing. You will be at goal before you know it, keep up the hard work

Thank you lovelies. I think my losses Havre been big at times because I've got so much to lose. I'm prepared for them to slow down but that's fine with me

Thank you for checking in on my diary. Just up (got given a long lie the morning) yes, 7.30am is a long lie in this house!!!!

Will be back later when I've had some food and a cuppa

xx

So, now i'm suitably refreshed I'll do a wee update here before I get caught up with the daily grind of being a busy working mum!

Since i've now got a few peeps reading my diary (thankyou and ) I thought I should tell you all a bit about myself. I'm 37 years old (eek!!!) and a mother of two young boys, ages 2 and 4. They keep me extremely busy and are both little horrors and bundles of fun at the same time I also work part time as a staff nurse in a busy gynaecology ward and am married to my lovely (sometimes!!) hubby. We've been together for 11 years now and our relationship has had it's ups and downs along the way but I wouldn't have him any other way. Well, I'd maybe make him a bit more buff, with an amazing six pack and fat wage packet at the end of the day but beggars can't be choosers eh!!

So now you know almost all about me, back to the matter at hand, and what i'm here for, my weight loss diary! My little one woke me up today at 5.15am this morning.....this is his norm so it wasn't too much of a shock for me, but my hubby had said that he'd get up with him to let me have a long lie!! Two hours later, at 7.20am, i was rudely awakened by said little one jumping over all over me!! Nothing like a peaceful and tranquil start to the day is there?

The start of the morning has been full of the usual tom foolery from the boys so I was glad to pack the eldest one off to nursery at 9am so I could come back and do a bit of my diary before taking my little one to his playgroup. Then this afternoon my eldest has a hospital appointment to check out how his asthma is doing. He was diagnosed around 6 months ago and since he's started on inhalers it's been a lot better

Food for today should be all on plan, although i've yet to decide what to have. I'm sure i'll come up with something marvellous and delicious though, I always do!!

Catch you later xx

Aww, I hope the appointment goes well. Your youngest sounds similar to my monkey. I am on all four getting his toys from under the sofa and he chooses this is the perfect opportunity to mount me. I did oblige in being horsey because that totally counts as body magic right?

You do sound busy. I'd not cope with such an early wake up call! Look forward to getting some new meal ideas from you then!

OMG!!! I just typed a massive post then went to put it on and it came up that I wasn't logged on!!! I'm fuming. Going to cool off then type it all out again!!! GGGRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

That's exactly what my little one does. He jumps onto my back as soon as I bend down to get something!! Little monkeys eh!!

Well, I had quite a good day today. The hospital appointment today went well. We can reduce his inhalers a little bit and see if that affects him at all and if it doesn't then we'll hopefully be able to stop using them in the spring time, at least for a few months anyway!! After the hospital we went to the park for a bit but it was absolutely freezing so we didn't stay long.

When we got home I'd already made meatballs for the boys of the house, and I had to go shopping to get something for myself but I had some soup to tide me over till I got back. Here's how my meals looked today:

Breakfast: Fat free greek yogurt, mixed with a strawberry mullerlight and some sweetner, followed by a pear

Snack: 3 ryvita crackerbreads (1/2 HEB), 3 laughing cow light triangles (HEA) with some cherry tomatoes, then a hifi light bar (1/2 HEB)

Lunch: 3 Linda McCartney rosemary and red onion sausages, beans, mushrooms, 2 fried eggs with 1 tbsp brown sauce (1syn)

Snack: Homemade soup, freddo bar (5syns)

Dinner: Quorn chilli, red rice, topped with 40g cathedral light cheese (HEA)

Snack: 3 ryvita crackerbread (1/2 HEB), Choc philly (4.5syns) sliced banana

I think that's all i'll be able to manage for the day. Boy do I eat a lot of food eh!!!!

Haha, I eat loads compared to the 20 something team girls! It's a bit embarrassing but you are not alone.

Are you a vegetarian? Or do you just like green days? You may have said already but my brain fails me!

I'm not vegetarian no, I just prefer green days for the extra healthy extras and I'm not a big meat eater. I like using my b choices for cereal bars or crispbreads.

Who are the 20 something team girls btw?

there is a thread in the teams sub-forum for 20-somethings. It's a fab thread, the girls are lovely but I often feel like an utter whale. haha. I have a green day planned for Saturday. I like having a b for hifi bars. nom nom nom.

Ah, I see. I'm sure you don't seem like a whale at all. Erm, have you read what I had to eat yesterday!! Hehe.

Ooh, which hifi bars are your favourite? I love the rocky road ones, and I like the lemon ones, the berry bakewell and the peanut ones!! So, that'll be most of them then
