Mary's Journey to 10st - Food Diary and other ramblings..

[marymary]

Dreading WI at lunchtime today (even though yesterday I said I wasnt'!).. had several off plan incidents over the last week, and had 2 good weeks of losses. Waaaah.

Why do we do it to ourselves?! I felt SO good after getting down to my lowest weight ever last week so why couldn't I just hold on to that?

Harumph.



Today's food is looking like this -

Breakfast - Blueberry wheats with semi skimmed milk (HeB and HeA)

Lunch - have some leftover salmon and salad (cherry toms, cucumber etc.)

Dinner - not sure yet, the boy wants to go out!!!

Snacks - I've had a banana, and have lots more fruit

We are our own worst enemies hun! Good luck for WI xx

 

[marymary]

We are indeed! Just weighed - 1.5lbs gain. Booo. Deserved though!

 

[marymary]

Haven't updated for a couple of days as I've been off plan and ashamed to come on and face you all! Getting back on it, but going away tomorrow night for a long weekend with the boyf for my birthday, so it's not looking good diet wise as I don't want to be worrying about syns!

Today is looking like this:

Breakfast - Blueberry wheats & semi skimmed milk (HeA and HeB, only part of HeA though as will have a nice cup of tea or 2 today!)

Lunch - got up before work and made a nice salad (New potatoes, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, celery etc.)

Dinner - I have some salmon, so probably that with a jacket potato and broccoli.

Am going to TRY to have a syn free (or near enough) day!

xx

p.s if anyone wants to give me a kick up the arse, please feel free!

 

[Mrscush]

Dont beat yourself up hun, have a wonderful birthday and enjoy! They only happen once a year. Then get back on plan - or I will come looking for you with that butt kicking! lol

xx

 

[marymary]

Ah thank you

If it was just the once a year I wouldn't beat myself up, but I'm either really good and on plan or completely off.

Countdown is on - I'm off to Ibiza on August 31st, and my whole slimming world journey has been aiming towards that really, it's come around so quickly.

How are you today?

xx

 

[marymary]

Ok so I'm back from my surprise birthday weekend with the Boyf.. he took me to Paris and Disneyland!! It was incredible, had such an amazing time!

HOWEVER, I obviously didn't stick to plan, especially at Disney where it was basically impossible to eat anything healthy (or anything that cost less than a 3 course meal!). Weighing in at lunchtime today to assess the damage. Was so tempted to skip WI today but I have to face it! I am expecting a couple of pounds on.

Also need to do a food shop as I have nothing in.. today is looking like this though:

Breakfast - muller light
Lunch - Ryvita with Laughing Cow (HeA and HeB) with salad
Dinner - jacket potato, not sure with what yet!
Snacks - minimal

Am going to try and have a syn free day!

 

[Mrscush]

Wow hun! fabulous! I love Paris! I went for my 30th a couple of years ago. Hope you had an awesome time!

Well done for getting straight back on it x

 

[marymary]

I only put on 0.5lbs! What a relief!

All that walking around Paris was obviously pretty good for me and the wine etc. managed to work it's way off

It's amazing isn't it? I went with 6th form many years ago, but it was nice to do it as a grown up!

Hi, here to subscribe to your diary - you sound like a kindred spirit in the diet world!! Weekends are my absolute nightmare - I plan to stay on track, then whoops off the wagon I fall (and normally fairly hard too!!) and it's always the dreaded vino

 

[marymary]

Hello

I just subscribed to yours too! Those pesky weekends are hard for lots of us I think..

Wine is medicinal sometimes I think, I read in your diary about coming home after the BBQ and having a couple of glasses, it sounds like you obviously needed it. Then we just have to dust ourselves off on Monday.

I was planning a syn-free day today but have already cracked on that one!

 

[marymary]

Ah thanks Silvermoon! I don't think I've EVER had a 100% week, something always goes awry. Slow progress!

I have found counting down on my syns keeps me on track a little better though, i.e starting with 105 syns per week and just taking them off, helps me to keep some in the "bank" if you will!

 

[marymary]

Sounds like a plan! It's all about finding what works for you I guess. I wish I weighed on Fridays (I know it doesn't make any difference overall, but it just feels nicer, then I could blow out on Saturday and not feel like I'd undone my hard work!)!

 

[Mrscush]

0.5 on is brill Mary, and after an action packed weekend. Didn't need to put my big boots on for a kick up the butt after all!

Xx

 

[marymary]

Haha thanks Mrscush, maybe you were in my head subliminally anyway!

Realised I have spent way too much money this month, so on the plus side, I can't afford to buy much food for the rest of the month, haha!

(I'm saving as much as possible for Ibiza on the 31st!)

 

[marymary]

Hi everyone,

Feeling really crap today, I absolutely sabotaged myself last night and basically binged. Loved it at the time but disgusted with myself today! I have just over 2 weeks till my holiday and I look horrible. I don't normally get like this so am annoyed with myself for being a bit pathetic!

All I want to do is EAT JUNK FOOD.

Mrscush - can you get your butt kicking boots on please??

Don't beat yourself up, it happens to all of us!! (I know for certain it happens to me, regularly!!)

And I am sure you don't look horrible, you are just being very hard on yourself!!!

Pick yourself up, and crack on today! Last nights done, and having a go at yourself will change nothing - come on lady!!! So what are you eating today? X

 

[marymary]

Haha Silvermoon I love that you asked - I don't even want to tell you because you'll be disgusted.. I had 2 chocolate eclairs, 3 jam tarts and a Wispa Gold!!!

Thank you kfowler, I know you're right with everything you said, I'm just really struggling at the moment!

I haven't done any proper food shopping so I haven't planned, and as we all know, that's why we go wrong!!

Today is looking like this (but I am gonna do a shop to be delivered tomorrow!)
Breakfast - muller light & banana
Lunch - Ryvita with laughing cow and salad
Dinner - My mum gave me some nice leftovers to take home (she's doing SW too) so I have a nice syn free beef casserole

xx

 

[kfowler87]

Evening, just checking in on you? You ok Hun! x

 

[marymary]

Ah thanks kfowler, aren't you nice!

I had a much better day - I stuck to plan and had a nice dinner of beef casserole with a jacket potato and lots of broccoli.

So far today I've had blueberry wheats with milk, and a banana, and I'm feeling much better about things today!

How are you? xx
