I had my doctors appointment today to monitor my weight loss. She was really pleased and upbeat about how much I have lost. I told her about being disappointed at some of my smaller losses but said I still felt motivated because I know I am doing the right things so it WILL come off, I just need to keep at it. She said I was right, that it is a simple equation, if I am consistant in eating less calories than I am burning off it will result in weight loss.

Listen to me...if it was all so easy I would be a skinnymalink!

OMG I actually thought I was going to collapse at body vive! :giveup: there were only 4 of us in the class so there was no hiding I am quite worried about how I am going to feel in the morning

The instructer said I did well though and said that I will feel a difference in no time if I stick at it and that it will also make the other classes that I go to more effective.

The plan is to get up and go swimming before work tomorrow no matter how I feel because I don't have to swim masses of lengths, I could just do 15 then have time to get in the jacuzzi and steam room if I feel all achy.

I had better bloomin lose some poundage this week!

 

[lovetosew]

ok it must have worked then, I lost 2.5lbs this week, I am happy with that and let's have some more please! I was slimmer of the week which I love but I have no idea what I am going to do with all the fruit, it's like I have a green grocers in my kitchen at the moment! I think I'll chop it all up for a massive fruit salad.

It was buffet evening and I made the syn free roulade except my filling had nutella in so it was 4 syns for the whole thing. It went down very well, in fact it was finished off so I was delighted. It's the first time I have made it but I was quite pleased with the result.

I've gone a bit doolally this afternoon/evening, I'm going to attempt to remember and asign syns to all that I have consummed! In the spirit of total disclosure I must admit that I have been having an internal dialogue where I considered not documenting the naughties on here. It was like it was my instinct to lie about it, almost as if that would mean it wouldn't count? Oh brother.

eeep! I am blaming this on totm. I pass costco on the way home from work everyday - that's where the hot dog + fruit sundae came from. I actually stopped off believing they served frozen yoghurt but I don't know whether they have changed it or whether I was simply wrong but I cannot pretend that it was frozen yoghurt in the fruit sundae, it was glorious, full fat, full sugar, soft serve ice cream. Damn it. Right, here is my line, I will now step over it.

 

[patches1]

You've got it - it's about our mindsets when slim people have something like that they don't see it as the end back to healthy eating (glad you enjoyed it, sounds nice). This will be my new mantra!!

so, I have done better with my syns today but not great with the super free. I had to cry off my zumba this evening because I feel like I have pulled a muscle in my side, it isn't too painful but I get a twinge when I stand and twist so I was a bit worried I might do something worse if I went. I have my second body vive class tomorrow night so I need to feel fit for that! I might get in a swim before work in the morning, maybe that will help me stretch it out without straining anything.
