Been good this week, not really snacking, have drank more water and eating more fruit. Made good choices when eating out. I don't feel like stuffing my face like I used to.
I get weighed tomorrw, I hope I've lost !
I haven't had bread all week but did have some pizza bread today at prezzo, didn't go mad though. Ate half of what I would have usualy eaten today and all week.
The excercise is what I now need to start doing. Had big plans this week and too many things crop up and get in the way.
I should be more selfish and put myself first!

[Zest for Life]

Stayed the same. That's ok by me.
I been to harvester, cavery and prezzos this last week, which sounds really bad, but it's stuff already planned and I did give up bread this week so think that's helped.
I'm just too sociable! That's the problem!!!
But yep the same is fine x

 

[Zest for Life]

Well I had a good weekend, no binging ate well. All good.
But this morning, after giving up bread for a week, I had some toast, tasted lovely! But felt really lathargic and tired within an hour, I then fell asleep for 2 hours woke up with a really heavy head. I'm sure it's the bread because I've felt really well when I wasn't eating it, had more energy and more just felt better.
No more bread fir me!!! At least I know now that it DOES make me bloated and tired.

No more moaning, that's enough for one day! I'll have to go for a walk to wake myself up and clear my head. At least we don't have snow here yet

[Zest for Life]

Very good today
For some reason just don't feel that hungry, wish I had more days like this!
Had mini weetabix with warm milk, semi skimmed.
Then dinner was chicken breast, mash and beans. Not what I would normaly eat but was what I fancied.
Also had a banana and cup of highlights hot choc.
That's it, took the dog for a walk but that's it on the excercise front.
I really must get into my excercise, made myself a list of excercise to do weekly but haven't done it yet, no excuses I am being lazy, got to change that or I will stay the same every week.
Just to remind myself, I woke up with very slightly puffy eyes today, I'm sure it was the bread I ate yesterday.

Good ish day.
2 eggs on toast, although didn't want to eat bread, I was out in cafe and everyone else had big fry up. I almost had the hash brown and mushrooms and yummy fried bread n beans...... So really I was very good!
But lunch time had portion of chips.
That's it, very bad nutrition day, no fruit, veg or anything good really.
But was out all day, I could have chosen much worse!
It's sooooo cold!!!
I don't feel very hungry again today. Hope this continues!
Will eat more healthy tomorrw x

Hi Karen ,
Just to say well done on your 4Lb weight loss , sounds like your in the right frame of mind, Im trying hard too, and reading through the diaries helps me keep motivated x

 

[Zest for Life]

Thanks katie,
Yes sometimes it just clicks in your head and you know your on your way, it's taken longer than usual this time!
Good luck with your weight loss, hope your in the zone too. X

 

[Zest for Life]

Ok, another great day))
I'm finding this easy, infact this is the best I've felt in a long time. If this continues I'm going to do Cambridge tomorrow, I've got loads of packs but my frame of mind was all wrong, it was never going to happen when I tried a few months ago.
Now I really feel I can do it, looking back at my diary I can see my mind set is much better now.
Yep, cd tomorrw, this is my time, might not feel like this again so bring on tomorrow!!!
I'm excited already!!!!

[Zest for Life]

Now my head is in the right place I've started Cambridge again.
Hope to be more successful this time around.
4lb down this week so far but hope for bigger losses from today onwards.
