Tomorrow is my weigh in and I'm not looking for a miracle, I'll be more than happy with a 2lb loss as it would total 1 stone lost and also reach the goal of losing it before my holiday (which is in 5 days time)
I've tried to make good choices with my food, I have cut so far back on my chocolate that its now practically non existent in my diet............used to be all I wanted and all I could think about once upon a time. I was a self proclaimed chocoholic, all my family and friends knew it but now............well its a different story
I have had a single bag of crisps in over a month............. its amazing what you can learn to live without and not miss having it
Fingers crossed for tomorrow

My house smells GORGEOUS...........I'm attempting the Gammon in diet coke recipe (made in the slow cooker) I swear I am watering at the mouth with the smells coming from my kitchen
The gas man came to read the meters and said he could smell it before I even opened the door.............If he had been sexy I might have offered him to stay for dinner (hehehe only joking, my fella wouldn't be too impressed lol)
Not sure what to serve it with yet
Its a red day so pasta or potatoes would be a HEX b...........there's always salad but I think it needs more than ...........maybe rice............Hmmmmmmm

Another day, another recipe to try
Today its a whole chicken done in a slow cooker
Its currently resting on 4 scrunched up foil balls inside the crock pot which I put on High initially, turning down to low after 30mins
I have no idea what this is gonna be like but the Gammon was lovely so Hopefully it can't go too wrong
Its that TOTM and all I can think about is chocolate............trying to keep myself busy so I don't go ruining my progress

Ahhhh. Hope your not feeling too rotten. I hate time of the month, it's really crappy. Just try and stay focused Hun but a little bit of chocolate will be fine and make you feel better. Why do we have to crave bloody chocolate at TOTM. I'm sure I will be joining you as its nearly my time of the month too.
Hows old your baby, did you say she's 9 months.
Its funny how pregnancy effects you. When I had my last baby. He's made me sooooo regular it's weird. Before him well and my little girl as there's only 13 months between them ( so prob only had 1 before I conceived again.lol) after my eldest my periods were stupid like about 3 times a year. And we tried for another baby for like 5 years. I had pcos and had to have one of my ovaries removed. And then now when I'm not really bothered about having them I have one every single month.lol
Hope you feel better tomorrow sending you a :grouphugg:

hey lucyI've always been as regular as clockwork, only time I haven't had them was when i was pregnant with my eldest (who will be 11 this summer....where did the time go?) and with Caitlin (who is 3 and 1/2 months old). They weren't heavy or painful when I was on the pill but I did and have always craved chocolate for the seven days that I'm suffering which wasn't a problem back then coz when I turned into a grumpy *****, I just shut myself up with chocolate and loads of it.....my boyfriend used to call it appeasing the beast within.........he wasn't far wrong lol
I've worked so hard to get over the need for chocolate and believe me, I was like a crack addict when it came to choccies.....I swear I even felt like I was having withdrawals when I started SW...... I think if I'd had a small or no loss in my first week, I would still be munching the yummy brown stuff but that 7lbs off was a real motivation tool for me to get my butt in gear for my kids, to get fit and healthy so I could run round the beach with them instead of leaving it up to my fella while I sit with the bags and coats
I've always found that my TOTM hinders my weight loss..... lbs seem to appear out of nowhere so I was pleasantly surprised in week 2 when I had my period and still lost 1lb.
I managed to appease the beast last night with a curly wurly.......6 syns well spent if you ask me......today I've been able to control the pangs with a choc n orange alpen light............lets see what tonight brings
thanks for the hug....much appreciated xx

Well I finally started packing last night...........I hate Packing. I always find it embarrassing and degrading standing in front of the mirror, trying on everything I own to find nothing fits and opting for the big baggy stuff that covers all the lumps and bumps
I was 4.5 months pregnant last time we went away so I had a very different body. What fit then, doesn't now !
So I pulled all my pre-pregnancy stuff out of the bottom of the wardrobe and the storage bags and was delighted to find that some of it fit again and a lot of it was size 18..........(trousers and jeans)..........My boyfriend found it thoroughly annoying as I tried on item after item but I was enjoying it
It was one of those moments when slimming world and all the choccie sacrifices have been worth it. I've got a nice mixture of new and old clothes in my case and for the first time in.............well ever.............. I know I don't have to worry about what I am wearing while I'm away because the items will fit
I feel good about me

Well I've had one hell of a stressful day
3 month old has diahorria, 10 yr old got sent home from school with the same thing...........Tumble dryer plug caught fire in the socket (seems I have some shoddy electrical work in my kitchen) so I have completely gone off plan today
I dread how many syns are in this stuff but I'll list it anyway
Breakfast:
Cheese (hex a) Omelette and Beans
Lunch:
Ham 50/50 roll (no idea of syn value)
3 boiled sweets (1.5)
Dinner:
Gammon round with beans and scrambled eggs, two slices of WHITE toast and butter.
I hate that things have gone off course but I didn't have too much choice
I am planning to weigh myself early this week, just so I can see how much I lose or gain while I am away
See you all in a week
Basically I ate what we had in rather than going shopping again for more stuff that will go off while I'm away
