Amy's "kick up the bum" diary!

[AmyS]

OK today is first day of new week and Super focus!

WI is tonight - still hoping for a small loss but can't be guaranteed!!

So I have decided to start 100% from NOW.

This means writing down and sticking to syns. I know I have 2 meals out this week but if I use weekly syns and i'm good the rest of the week I know I can do it!!

Bring it on!!

Thursday 2nd December - EE

Well bit of drama this morning - managed to put a massive gash in my finger from a knife in the drawer and it wouldn't stop bleeding. Was 20 mins late into work but all ok now. Was only trying to chop my fruit up for breakfast!!

Breakfast - Chopped apple and Pineapple. (Eaten while holding finger under tap)

At work - Activia yoghurt

Snack - Banana

Lunch - Tesco tinned steak (1/2 tin) with carrotts and peas and green beans. 2 Mini chocs (and I mean mini) I will say 2 syns.

Dinner - Homemade chilli with SW wedges.

Treat - Advent calendar chocs 1x2 as didn't have yesterdays!! = 2 syns. 2 roses 2.5x2 = 5 syns

Weekly syns used 9/105 - remaining 96.

 

[AmyS]

Thanks Allie - I ALWAYS forget about the peas!!

Not used any HE's yet so EE will be fine! Just need to think about getting some superfree in my dinner then!

Finger OK - still throbbing though! I'm sure I will survive!!

Anyone know how much blood weighs? do you think it will constitute another 1/2lb loss tonight??:8855:

[AmyS]

Well the weekend turned into a bit of a disaster!

2 Puddings, half a tin of roses, a burger in a white bap and a glass of wine were consumed in addition to the 2 meals out!!

Have calculated that I have used about 170 syns so far this week! Oops!

I hate Christmas - it is rubbish for trying to be on a diet. I am already panicking about next week as have a ball on friday and dinner out on sat. It makes life so hard.

This weather also makes you just want to eat everything in sight! Fruit is just not cutting it!!

Aghhhhhhhh! This time last yr I was so good at resisting but cannot this yr!

I know I should just draw a line and be on plan until Thursday but still want chocolate!!!

Rant over!

xx

 

[AmyS]

Aghhh - what a week!

It started off so positively and now I feel like I have ruined another week!

I knew I had 2 meals out but all other meals were on plan. Unfortunately the snacking has let me down! I just couldn't resist the chocolates and cakes and I feel bad now.

Chirstmas time is really hard! I am freezing all of the time at work at the moment as the radiator in my little office is rubbish! Unless you are actually touching it you cannot feel any benefit! I know this is not an excuse but it makes me want to get home and eat rubbish!!

I can't face eating salad in the cold so think I am also stodging up on too many carbs!

Anyway - will go to WI tonight - face the gain and start again!

[AmyS]

Well put on half last week but lost it again this week! Pleased with that as had far too many social things on!!

Am off to Germany tomorrow to see my friend who is living out there for 18 months! Will be back on the 23rd.

Next WI on the 30th Dec - hoping not to have done too much damage and then will blitz the fat in Jan!!

Hope everyone has a good Christmas!!

xx

 

[AmyS]

Hope everyone is well and had a good xmas and new yr!

I did and it showed on the scales!! I put 7lbs on (oopsie!!), down to alcohol and a diet consisting of bread cheese and sausages in Germany just before xmas.

However I have been back on plan at about 85% since Sunday 2nd Jan and lost 2lb last night at WI!!

So starting today I am now back at 100% determined to get into a size 10 this yr and look fab!!

Good luck for 2011 everyone! Hoping this is the year I make target!!
