Hi Ames, well done on your loss last week!! It's still a loss!! I've been playing away for 10 days now.....noop not another man...other food!!! I've been having an affair with non SW compatible yummy things!! Enough is enough and from tomorrow morning I am going to be 100% on plan again and regain some control!! It's because I've been on annual leave and went away for my Bday and because I was away over my actual Bday (and eating all sorts of things) I was catching up with friends for a few days when I got back as well! It's just been impossible! So tonight is going to be a BIG one- I can feel it all over me!! I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's a 7 pounder, or even more maybe!!! But nevermind, it is what it is and once I know tonight what I've got to work with it will be that much easier to grab the bull by the horns! In some ways a big one would be good for me because it will make me realise that I just can't get away with this kind of behaviour and how important it is to nip these things in the bud because this is EXACTLY what led to me being 16 stone in the first place!! Going into denial and not addressing when I'd been overindulgent- carrying on having exactly what I wanted when I wanted it! Nonsense!! A small gain may make me a bit complacent! But who am I trying to kid?!! It's definitely not going to be small!!

OMG I do go on don't I!!!

Well I hope you're having a good week! Diary looks good- I know there was a little going over the old synnage, but the occasional moment often goes unnoticed!XXX

Hi again Amy, I gained 4lb! Not too bad considering....feeling really positive about shifting it now....X

 

[AmyS]

STS this week - OK though as I have been a bit over on syns.

Plan of action needed now. I am going away next Wednesday for 11 nights in Italy (Going to a friends wedding and then doing a bit of a tour). Will try to be on plan until I go and then for the 3 days I am back before WI. Hopefully I can then reduce any weight gain!

Then........I will buy a new 12 week countdown and plan to have a super focused 12 weeks to get this weight loss moving again as I am fed up of staying around the same weight!

My consultant reckoned I could get close to target in 12 weeks - I told her she was deluded and it would probably be more like 24 weeks but was nice that she said that!

Here's to a few good days on plan before Hols and then a super focus when I return!

I'm back - have had a gain and now back on track I think!

Bought a countdown last Thursday and plan to lose as much weight as possible during the 12 weeks!

Need super focus and to remember why I am doing this as have found it much harder to stick to plan over the last few months.

I can do this and I will do this.

On my way to a slimmer me.................

Eugh! Another half hearted week. I stick to SW meals then just have too many treats and snacks. Don't know what to do to get head in gear.

Still going to WI tonight so hoping to squeeze a small loss in but won't be the 2lb I was hoping for!

Going to take each day at a time this week. Not as busy this weekend so can get some batch cooking done on Sunday ready for the week ahead which I think has been my downfall this week!

Anyway no better day to start than today. So here goes.

Thursday 19th May - Extra Easy

Breakfast - Pineapple and Strawberries with WW Yoghurt.

Snack - Banana, 2 Satsumas

Lunch - Egg Sandwich - Boiled egg on 2 pieces of 400g Wholemeal. Mixed Berries with WW Yoghurt

Dinner - WW Beef and Red wine Casserole with diced potatos(6.5 Syns). 3 squares of Lindt chocolate (3 syns)

Total 9.5 syns

 

[funcurls]

Hey hun, how ru doin? Soz to hear you're finding it a struggle to stick to plan all week long! I think it's a great idea to do the batch cooking you mentioned!! That way you have things to hand and you can plan your meals much better!! It does sound like lack of organisation that's your downfall, hence reaching for naughty things when you're peckish! I can certainly relate to that! Hope it works out for you! You can do it!! Good luck for WI! Maybe it will be better than you expect!XXXX

 

[AmyS]

Thanks Heather for your wise words as usual!! I lost 1/2lb last night, not brill but a loss all the same.

Am determined not to pick this week. I am making an effort to plan ahead and write everything down so I stick to syns this week. 2lbs will get me back into the 11's next week so that is my aim!

Just need to keep the focus now!
