Cokes' weightloss journey

[cokes]

Hi
I need to lose around 100lbs to take me to about the 140lb mark. I get weighed on the 22nd so a week today. I will have been on xenical just over 3 weeks at that point and the scales although slow do seem to be taking me in the right direction but I'm not updating my stats until Ive seen the doctor. Plus I wasn't exactly sure of how much I weighed the first time, I only glanced down and got the shock of my life then spent the rest of the time trying not to cry! So I will check what my exact weight was in pounds when I see him.
Hope you are doing good x

Have been off work today as don't work wednesdays so had a longer walk with the doggies again. Got very muddy especially as Bruno decided to jump up and put his paws all over me!
Went to my mams too so had limited options of what to have for lunch but I stayed healthy. Weighin is a week today so I want to be super strict with myself over not cheating. I say this but I know I haven't been over fat content but sometimes I think I may have too many calories for the day. Im not actually counting calories yet (will do this nearer target tho) but you know when you feel like you've eaten so much that you must be putting weight on, ive had a few times like that.
So todays food was:
Breakfast- Mixed berries and low fat natural yogurt. 2 Satsumas.
Lunch- Jacket potato with 1/2 tin tuna ans a bit of onion. Slice of melon.
Dinner- not had yet but I'm thinking fish with slimming world recipe chips and salad. I normally have salad with lunch so I need to get my salad fix in!

He he he just been looking through smilies and Ive been inspired to go on my treadmill especially as Im cold so it'll warm me up

 

[autumnbabe]

your doing really well cokes.

 

[cokes]

Thanks Autumnbabe

I am actually quite chuffed with myself as I have just finished 20 minutes on the treadmill of very fast walking. I get bored on the treadmill because the way its positioned in the room is facing sideways to the tv. The room isn't wide enough to have the treadmill facing the tv and we're limited what way we can put the treadmill because of plug points and its got a very short cable on it. I should have played around a bit and got the new ipod dock nearer to the plug and put that on as I hate being on the treadmill with headphones on somehow the swaying of the wire annoys me!
Anyway yay me for doing extra today :clap:

Well its snowed today. lying a bit on grass but roads still seem ok but a bit icy. I hope this doesn't get as bad as it was.

My food for the day:

Breakfast- low fat rice pudding pot. 2 Satsumas.

Lunch- Jacket potato with tuna and onion with a tiny amount of lighter than light mayo. Large salad. Mixed berries with low fat natural yogurt.

Dinner- Will be WW beef hotpot with mash. May have some carrots too. Need something nice and warm tonight. Brrrrr x

 

[autumnbabe]

hiya cokes what was the WW beef hotpot like.?
I brought some nice WW tuna in a can today with different dressings. i may try one tomo.

 

[cokes]

Hi Autumnbabe
It was nice. The chicken hotpot is nice too. The only trouble is you don't get much. Portion control I guess so I always put a big salad or loads of veggies to go with it to satisfy me. Im such a muncher but so far it all seems like its working

 

[cokes]

Just been on my fitness pal that everyone seems to be reccommending. It said I should aim for 1560 cals a day to lose 1.5lbs a week. I might keep a crafy eye on cals as well if I can but at the mo I'm just so into my fat contents! Might see how I go tomorrow x

 

[cokes]

Yay got my period this morning which means it'll be all over and done with by wednesdays weighin with the GP so I'll get a true weight. Can't wait! Im getting a massage and facial after weigh in on wednesday as a reward for my hard work. i want to hear good numbers to make it worth the reward, but technically I am meant to be rewarding the effort. Trying to change my thinking that rewards equal something other than food

Arrggghh! Big test today. Got asked if I wanted a bacon sandwich, easy to say no to cos they have to be ordered from upstairs so aren't right in my face. Said no, good for me. Then its someones birthday in the office and that person always has to bring in goodies (tradition). I was fine until I had to go and spend a length of time next to the table where they are kept. I was having a discussion with another worker and all the while I could smell this gorgeous chocolate cake. Nothing has ever smelt so good. My god how I resisted i'll never know but I did it! Hope no one has any more birthdays anytime soon!

Todays food:
Breakfast- Pot low fat rice pudding. 2 satsumas.
Midmorning- whilst everyone else ate bacon sandwiches I had 2 satsumas.
Lunch- ww cottage pie and mash- needed something warm its freezing.
Dinner- Will be veg lasagne and salad. WW brownie frozen dessert for puds. Got a friend coming over for dinner to exchange christmas pressies so should be good x

 

[cokes]

Had a very nice time with my friend Katy. She enjoyed my veg lasagne and thought I was a very good cook. Still feeling a bit peckish a couple of hours later tho so had a couple of satsumas to give me a boost.
The nearer Im getting to christmas im thinking its gonna be hard to be good. I'll be able to refuse the sweet stuff. Ive got pigs in blankets in my freezer and I would love some, but I'd scoff the lot. Im just gonna have to fill up with tons of veg cos Im not gonna go mad its so not worth it. The feeling of loosing weight and seeing the scales going down is so much more powerful than those few seconds of satisfaction when you taste something really good. I must resist!!!!!! And veg tastes good too!!!!!!

Been shopping in newcastle for the last of my chrimbo stuff. My feet are killing me. I was hungry whilst there too but managed to resist and wait til I got home to eat- the KFC did smell lovely mind, however I got my motivation in shops when I saw the lovely tops and dresses that were there. Next christmas I'm gonna spend a BOMB on lovely sparkly dresses cos I WILL be so much thinner. I did buy a nice top and sparkly cardigan in a size 16 from Jasper Conran in Debenhams I got 16's cos this morning trying on a jumper that normally would ride up fitted me! Hurrah! Think my boobs have shunk a bit. My husband says he can tell from my face that Ive lost weight, so Im very happy and won't stop til I get to where I want to be. Walked loads today anyway so that my excersise for the day. I'm skipping a party tonight- my feet are now too sore to go and I'd rather snuggle up in front of the fire. Plus we are going to a wedding tomorrow night so thats enough socialising for me!

Food for today:
Breakfast- Pot low fat rice pudding. 2 satsumas.

Lunch- Jacket potato with beans.

Dinner- Will be chicken curry made with weight watchers sauce with rice. melon for pudding.

I think thats a pretty good food day

The snow is back with a vengance here tonight. I was meant to be going to a wedding party but its at a country house down a long dark country road. I don't fancy getting stuck on that so I'm just gonna send my apologies. Its a shame and I feel guilty cos I know that a few people will be put off going but I suppose safety has to come first. I was still gonna go it just took the walk with the dogs to convince me that if I could barely walk in a blizzard then I can't drive in one.
I have a new outfit and everything! I think I threw the receipt out so I can't take it back, and soon Im gonna be too little for it! What to do? Oh well I'm sure someone some where will have it cos its lovely.
Anyway food for today:
Breakfast- Turkey bacon sandwich with boiled mushrooms.

Lunch- Roast chicken breast with mash, roast potatoes (just tried these with frylight they were good!) broccolli, carrots and peas.

Dinner- will be a jacket potato with prawns mixed with a tiny bit of lighter than light mayo and a large salad. Slice of melon.

Snacks- a few satsumas. I always have these but forget to record them every day.

Been at work today so not much to report. They had a buffet at lunchtime but I always go home for my dogs at lunch so it was easy to skip. I weighed myself this morning too, it looks like my weight isn't going down that much. I still have my time of the month but I desperately want to see smaller numbers. I have weigh in on wednesday and I so want to be below 17st. I'm hoping and praying that I'll make it- just for my own sense of justice I suppose that I am making the effort and I want to see the numbers go down.

Todays food:
Breakfast- low fat pot rice pudding. 2 satsumas.
Lunch- Jacket potato with prawns teaspoon lighter than light mayo. Salad.
Dinner- will be turkey mince (slightly naughty I know) bolognase with pasta. Melon for pudding.

I feel cold and not very motivated today. I won't break the rules or anything and I know that long term its worth it and I will keep going just feel a bit blah I suppose

 

[autumnbabe]

you have the right attitude cokes.And we all have days when we are nt motivated & just want to chill..im sure youll be fine on wednesday.

 

[cokes]

Thanks Autumnbabe. I will perk myself up. I think Im just winding down really I'll be glad when im off work from christmas eve for a while. Might just be the routine getting to me. Think I need to shake things up a bit and have some time for me.

 

[cokes]

Still feeling a bit down in the mouth. Ive been thinking about it and I think it's because Ive been thinking about the fact that I was pregnant this time last year. We told all of the family on christmas day and everyone was so happy. Now this year I have no baby. I miscarried in the January. Just coming up to christmas is reminding me of it. I normally have a **** christmas and last year was probably the first good one ive had but it didn't last for long. To me it seems that everyone has forgotten but I haven't. I just feel so sad. Weigh in tomorrow and I want it to be good but really I just want christmas to be over and done with.

Todays food:
Breakfast- low fat pot rice pudding. 2 satsumas.
Lunch- Jacket potato with 1/2 tin tuna and teaspoon low fat mayo. Low fat pot rice pudding.
Dinner- WW chicken curry and rice.
Snacks- A few satsumas.

Sorry I haven't been on in last week. I have been really ill with flu. Im still not well so don't think I'll be on much. Even sitting typing is making me feel dizzy and sick. Needless to say Im off the tabs and not sticking diet. I am barely eating so I just manage to get what ever I can down my neck like a few bites of sandwich. I will be back when better.
