Back on Track!

[denlen]

Right ive been reading everyone elses food diaries and thoughts on here for ages and I'm at a stage where I think this could work for me too! I have been doing slimming world at home since last may and got to 12st 12 losing 2 and a half stone just before christmas I put a bit back on over the festivities (as you do) but managed to get back to my pre christmas weight quite quickly after that and thats where it stayed!!!! I loose a pound then I put it on then I loose half a pound then I put one on so for weeks and weeks ive been around the same weight give or take a pound. Im pleased that ive maintained but im not at goal so I still have more weight to loose... I do quite a bit of excercise now so I think I would of put alot more weight on had I not been going to my classes. So from today im getting BACK ON TRACK!!!! Im going back to last may when I wrote everything down, when I weighed all my hex's, I normally have between 10 and 15 syns but I'm going to try and stick to 10 max as I dont go to group I'm not sure if this will make a difference or not???... and make sure my evening meals are 1/3 super free, I dont expect to loose anything this week when I weigh on Friday cos of ive had such a piggy weekend,,,, ive eaten so much I felt sick last night so I woke up this morning with a feeling of determination that id been missing this year and a goal to get to at least 3 stone lost for my friends hen weekend on the 8th June. Please feel free to comment on my entries and I welcome any tips from people who have had similar experiences....

today will be extra easy
breakfast- banana & activia fat free

lunch- salad box from local sandwich shop ( lettuce, tomato, cucumber, beetroot, chicken, coleslaw, pasta ) spoonfull of each. 1 small wm roll hex b about 4 syns for coleslaw dressing

tea- slow cooked beef stew (stewing steak, mushrooms, onions, carrots, potato, swede, parsnip, oxo, passata, sachet of beef casserol mix between 4, 2 syns

ok so update on yesterday my hexa was 350ml skimmed milk in 2 cups of tea and a hot choc made with cadbury highlights 2 syns.... I was so disapointed in my tea it seemed like such a good idea when I was preparing it the night before but I just didnt fancy it and I was so hungry as I had been to aerobics. I couldnt not eat it cos it would of been too big a waste! I hate it when that happens you slave over a meal then when it comes to eating it its just not that nice. but syns were good at about 8 for yesterday so happy with that.

Today is green day
breakfast 2 small wholemeal toast hexb, 2 poached eggs, spagetti, ketchup 1.5 syns

rest of day tba I find it easier if I havent planned my days food to have a green day cos Ive always got a pasta n sauce or a jacket potato lurking that I can make quickly will update later!

Here's the update:-
lunch was jacket potato cheese and beans it was from cafe i asked for not much cheese but as im on green day i'm gonna call it both hexa's and my other hexb

tea after my step class was pasta and sauce 1 syn and strawberries, 2 scoops of low fat ice cream 3 syns and a little squirt of low fat cream 1 syn?ish

also 1 syn for 2 dashes of milk in my tea

7 syns for the day-pleased with that x

So I weighed this morning and lost 3/4 of a pound was initially dissapointed when I saw that loss but then I remembered the weekend I had so to loose anything just 4 days later is good to be honest!

today will be off plan as I am going out for a meal tonight with some friends but Ill still record my food I had a banana and a kellogs fibre bar when I woke up ready for my step class then had 2x eggs one small slice of wholemeal toast and some spagetti when I got back, Ill have a later lunch so I wont feel the need to pick when I do everyone else's tea as I wont be eating till about eight tonight....
