Back to Basics to Loose the Last Few Pounds!

charlotte1985 said:
It was today, but I didn't go! I know thats naughty, but I need to get myself together. I've been really good today, I'll post my diary in a moment. Hopefully the binge is over and out of my system for now!

I weighed on my scales at home and they said 9 stone 5!!!!! Thats 4.5 lbs in a week (fully deserved)!

Its me all over, loose some, gain some, loose some, blah blah blah!

I did wonder if its down to anything, like theres some sort of trigger? I started this diary after an epic binge, which would have been around this time last month. Or it may just be because it was valentines day this time last month and then my birthday this month...anyway, hopefully I'm back on track!

Well at least you're back on track now - the key for me is always breaking the cycle - just takes a while sometimes! Hmm, know what u mean about triggers - I definitely have a sod it attitude!

Food for today looks good. My favs are definitely green days but carbs just dont seem to agree with me - especially pasta and bread.

Am sure your gain will come off super quick - bet most of it is water weight and it was your birthday so I think that deserves some celebrating :)

I hope so, had a minor blip with the revels last night. Only problem is, we're going for a mothers day meal tomorrow! Ah well, still got 7 WI's till my hols, so I think I'll be OK xx
 
How you getting on? I've been rubbish updating my diary but have been pretty good over the weekend which is good for me! Hope you have a fab mothers day. 7 wi's is a good length of time :)
 
777 is 7 speed foods, 7 drinks of water and 7 syns (each day) for 7 days. I think the whole point is to eat more speed foods, therefore eating less free foods or syns.

Had a fab mothers day, total food blow out (on saturday, I've been good on actualy mothers day)! Goodness me! I've been half hearted lately! Just gotta focus on those 7 WI's, the first of which being this Tuesday.

Didn't quite manage 7 speed foods today, but have had a busy day at work and so didn't manage my usual afternoon lentil soup. Anyway, WI tomorrow and then I'm planning a little experiment on myself. From Tuesday (WI) to Monday (26th) I'm going to make sure I do at least 20 mins exercise every evening (not including my walk to school and back and work and back). I am also going to make sure I have up to 10 syns a day.
