Hi Delly
How is your restart going sweetie??
xx
Hi Jools,
The restart went really well on Wednesday and Thursday. I even took the dog for a walk before it began to snow here on Thursday night.
Unfortunately, on Friday, I lost the plot completely. There was a tin of quality street calling my name all afternoon and I won't tell you how many sweets I had. I did count them but stopped counting points for the rest of the day (and it wasn't good)
Yesterday was a pretty good start. Breakfast was pancakes from Tesco bakery but they tasted off so I didn't eat them. Lunch was really sensible and I kept myself busy doing housework all afternoon. I was too tired to make dinner so we had a chinese but I'd loads of points for chicken curry, boiled rice and chips (split into 3 with my OH and DS). I meant to take the dog for another walk yesterday but the weather was too miserable. I might just get my OH up out of bed and take her out now - she's looking really chubby and definitely needs the exercise. We went visiting last night and I had ONE ferror rocher and a biscuit with my tea but I had the points left for those.
Unfortunately, I didn't have the points for the chocolate and wine gums that I ate last night. The only thing is, I didn't eat as much as I used to.
Today has started quite well for me too. Porrige for breakfast (1.5 points) milk (2 point) and I'm just about to eat a pear (1 point). I'm determined to get back on track today and hopefully make a difference for my first WI of 2008 on Tuesday. I'm sure the person I go to WW with is going to have lost weight over Christmas but I just can't be that competitive.
So my restart week has been up and down. I know what I need to do now to make a difference for next week.
1. give away the tin of sweets in the office (there' s only 2 of us there and the other person is off work at the minute).
2. take the dog for her walk every day
3. stick to my points
4. put my cutoff time back in place. The week I lost the most weight was the week where I didn't eat after 8pm. I stuck to my points, didn't take any exercise and lost 2.5lbs. The only thing that pointed to that extra 0.5lb was the cut off time.
Small changes, but acheiveable all the same.
