Thread: my quest to be a yummy mummy!!!

I'm Lisa,Im 30 been married for 5 years and have 2 beautiful children aged 3 and 1.I started weight watchers 3 weeks ago having been not very successful on sw. I never had a problem with weight until i had my children and i am now 3 stone heavier than I was when I got married. I am a bridesmaid in June and I would like to lose 2 stone or as near to it as i can. As i cant get into my dress at the moment! I am doing this diary to keep me on track as this will help me think about things. anyway thats enough waffling!

today I've been at home with a poorly little girl so Ive been resisting the urge to pick at rubbish.

breakfast
porridge with skimmed milk 2

lunch
chicken,bacon and mushroom pasta (homemade) 8.5

dinner

micro chips 2.5
bacon sandwich 5
marshmallow cone 2.5?

20/24


I am very pleased with my points used today, so hopefully the same again tomorrow.I havent been able to get any exercise done today as Ive been planted to the sofa by a clingy Evie but Ill have to do double. I got my new bellydancing dvd through today so I will try to attempt that tomorrow!xx

Hello Lisa, lovely to have a new diary victim
hope your little lady is feeling better real soon
that belly dancing sounds good fun x

morning everyone! well evie hasnt got a temp anymore but is still sleepy and cuddly so not herself at all. My son had chickenpox last week so I think thats what shes getting but no spots yet!NIkki I hope your little girl gets better soon. DH should be home quite early tonight so Ill try the belly dancing then.lol thatll be fun !! I need to get rid of this mummy puch I've got!
To eat today so far Ive had nothing... So when i can get off the sofa ill have porridge.
I'm going to do bangers and cheesy mash for tea tonight I think. Ive got my fave sausages so Im going to save my points for those tonight! have a good day everyone!! xxx

just to post to remind myself how yuk I fel now. I ate 5 cookies for no reaon other than the biscuit tin was there.And my nan has just been round and bought me an iced bun from my favourite ever bakery.to make things worse i didnt really enjoy it! (what!!) I have gone completely off today and i havent even been walking to work this week as i would normally as i havent been in. I feel so rubbish and im nearly feeling like I may as well carry on eating rubbish today as ive done so already! get me out of this frame of mind someone please! xx

hope little one feels better soon,
Don't blow it all, coming from an expert of throwing a day away, you may be over you points but if you're good for the rest of the day and the rest of the week it might not have a massive impact and it always makes me fear worse.

Hey Lisa, finally had time to venture out too see new diaries!!! lol

Hope your having a great weekend and back on track!!!

xx

evening all! well miraculously yesterday i managed to stay under my points and even save 2 points! yay! Ive had a better day today - evie is a bit better shes more herself today however she appears to have chicken pox which explains the temp and sickness! Well I took a walk down to my nans today which is about a mile away just to get out and some fresh air.
Also went too asda to get some veggies and salmon to have instead of a chinese or pizza (yay Go me) so I had the salmon with roasted veggies (peppers, leek,onion, new potatoes and mushrooms)some garlic, Sprayed with frylight and sprinkled with herbs. It was lovely and the salmon was lovely too. Funny I would never have done that before Weight watchers! Heres my food for the day.
Breakfast/lunch (got up late)
Bacon sandwich 7.5

crisps 2
orange kit kat 2.5

Dinner
Salmon 4
roast veggies 1
mini milk 0.5
