So I have decided to see if keeping an online diary will help me get my focus back and kick start me losing weight again.
Quick outline - start weight 16 stone 7 - got to 15 stone 3 in a month then joined SW, lost initially but have struggled over the last 6 weeks, if I'm honest have been on plan 80% - usually a bottle of wine and some crackers once a week or a few vodkas but I did think I was still within weekly syns but apparently not.
Sway between days were I'm not that bothered about food to days when I just want to eat constantly and refined carbs are my biggest weakness.
Exercise wise, I am doing more than I have ever done to be honest - at least an hour 5 times a week & a 10k walk at the weekend. Plus started some circuit training last week as well.
Yet my weight loss has been virtually non existent recently.
Now I vow not to scale hop & to allow myself one flexi syn day out of 10 - will try and "budget" this in weekly syn allowance though and stick with the couch to 5k training programme.
So here's todays run down.
RED DAY
Breakfast - plums and litre of water 8am
First day of couch to 5K - 30 mins alternate jog/walk
Early Lunch - spicy homemade veg soup, celery, apple and mandarin salad.
Litre of water
20 mins kettlebells
2 glasses water
Afternoon slump - 6 minstrels & 2 tuc crackers with low low cheese spread(1/2 HEA) - 10 SYNS
Dinner - Chicken, ham, rocket, tomatoes, celery and spring onion salad. 2 plums and an orange.
Litre of water
Supper - slice of wholemeal toast (HEB), tomato, low low cheese spread, slice of wafer ham (1/2 HEA)
Tea with semi skim - 3 cups (HEA)
2 glasses water
I feel like I've eaten all day today & have just wanted food - really bloated feeling feel sooooo heavy & - got scratchy throat, sneezy and itchy eyes as well.
Last time I weighed at the gym I was 13 stone 13.5 lb but sure am more than that today - official SW weigh in on Sunday (as I do it online).
Anyone any tips on how to break a plateau - 14 stone seems to be becoming harder to break through each week & I really don't want to give up.
