Getting to goal this time - my last ever food diary!

graciebabes

will hit target this time
So I'm hoping as the title suggests, this will be my final attempt at Slimming World, after doing it on and off over the past couple of years. I joined my local group last Tuesday, and have had a fairly good first week i think, but I'll find out for sure later this evening! Decided I want to do things properly this time, and actually reach my goal weight of 11 stone.

So a bit about me... I'm a trainee journalist studying at the University of Lincoln, and a busy F&B Assistant in a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel. Have lovely friends, family and other half called Rob.

Hoping this diary will help keep me on track and accountable for anything naughty which may just so fall into my mouth.. Haha!

Xxxxxxx
 
Welcome back to it - Im on day 2 back on track. X
 
wow whats brilliant! Would love a loss like that for wk1. Great loss x

Okay, so I'm not going to syn it - but I feel bad not admitting to it - but I had a bit of a blip last night at work. Had to taste some of the dishes which included a mouthful of rabbit loin, an onion ring, a small piece of pitta bread with a dollop of houmous (sp?) and 2 teeny weeny (literally the size of a 50p) creme patisserie tarts. Not too worried as my fitbit says I burnt 900 odd calories running round like a mad woman all night, BUT then when I got in I polished off a 1/4 of a pack of choc digestives! Oooops! Oh well, starting tomorrow with a gym class so plenty of damage limitation :)

So I put ½lb on at weigh in tonight, which isn't too bad considering the week I've had! Think having such a big loss in the first week made me a bit complacent, but I'm determined to lose that ½lb and more next week! Going to try to stick to plan 100%, and the main things that need to change are picking at food at work and not exercising enough (I went to the gym 3 times last week and have only been once this week!) So wish me luck :)
 
Brand new week, determined to get my half stone award this week!

Another bad day today :( Need to get my head in the game I really do. Not sure when I'll be able to get weighed this week as I'm working every single night, I might have to skip a week, but I'm worried that'll do more harm than good!

Anyway, I've sort of come up with a new plan. Instead of trying to have a 100% week this week, I'm just going to take things one day at a time, and try and stick to the plan day by day. I think doing things weekly is putting too much pressure on me. I'm also looking at joining a gym this week, cuz I've really missed since I've moved back to uni.

So after a morning of feeling crappy and sorry for myself, this is me giving myself a big kick up the butt and getting back on the wagon once again..
