Been doing this EE experiment all week, but the scales have been going up and up!!! EEEEK!

I felt like it was water retention though, as i felt all bloated and my eyes were puffy and my face looked like a puffer fish's!!! LOL.. So i stuck at it, hoping it would come off again.

And what do you know? Last night i was up all night peeing like a racehorse haha TMI i know! And my weight is well on the way down again today Gawd knows what caused it, but i was just about to start losing hope for this EE plan! Fingers crossed the scales keep showing a loss now!

Lunch - mugshot with a can of sardines mixed in, banana

Dinner - bit boring, but the same as last night! salmon with couscous and shredded lettuce, also bunging a few prawns and mushrooms in tonight

Oh FFS!!!!!

I got on the scales again this morning (before anyone says anything, they weigh EXACTLY the same as the SW ones! i check before class and after every week! lol) and although i haven't put on any since yesterday, i'm not going down anymore, and i'm looking to have put on about 1lb this week Weigh-in's tomorrow morning so not got much chance of shifting the 1lb before then! lol

I'm due TOTM any day - boobs are killing me and i feel all bloated and heavy, so i'm hoping it's just that weighing me down and not real fat! I've been SO good this week - no cheats, and i've written down absolutely every morsel i've eaten! Hmm... hopefully next week will be a better loss (i said that last week though )

Breakfast - nothing

Lunch - chicken stew (chicken thighs, potatoes, onions, mushrooms, pearl barley, red split lentils, stock)

Dinner - same as lunch but with 3x slices WW bread (HEb) with 4tsp flora extra light (2 syns)

Snacks - 250ml semi skimmed milk (HEa)

 

[Donnie46]

Beki, do you think you would do better if you ate some breakfast, I know you are a busy mother with 2 children and you probably have a school run every morning - but if you just grabbed a banana it may help you as they do say you have to eat breakfast to get your metabolism going - It's just a suggestion I am not critising your diet in any way, your daily menus's are always very good and varied.

I never used to eat breakfast, but I make myself have something now and since I have been doing SW I love forward to my breakfast now.

Good luck for your WI, if it your TOTM then whatever happens your body will adjust for your WI next week, I have my fingers crossed for you. X

 

[Beki]

Thanks Donnie - you're probably right with the breakfast thing. I just don't feel hungry though, until about 11 o'clock, so then tend to wait until lunchtime, or have a 'brunch' instead... Maybe i'll try having a banana to see if that kick starts something!

Right... onto my food diary from yesterday! I was so peed off and pre-menstrual that i decided to have the day 'off' and i reeeally DID! lol

It's strange because while i was eating all the rubbish, i was still motivated about losing weight, and planning my meals for today... how odd am i?! :hmm:

Yesterday's food (be warned it's not pretty lol) -

2x mars bars
2x small viennese chocolates
2x packets crisps
5x chewy refresher bars
3x tiger rolls with butter and marmite

Chinese last night -

1/2 portion rice
1/2 portion beef chow mein
1/2 portion beef in black bean sauce
1/2 portion crispy chilli beef
4x prawn balls with sweet and sour sauce

And i don't even feel guilty... how bad am i! I'm straight back on the wagon this morning, as planned I even threw my leftover chinese in the bin this morning and opted for a coffee instead lol

 

[Donnie46]

Your not bad at all Beki, you needed a 'blow out' and now you are back on track again, so well done to you.
