He he - weight and see - nice one. Good luck for today hun xxxx
 
heelllloooo!

just realised i forgot to post yesterday!

1lb off at weigh in...again

hmmmph!
i did hope for more, i physically felt like it might've been more and i had a good week.
5.5 on the other week no probs....not so fast at coming off despite the intake of fruit, veg and a LOT of water/squash!
so much for the quick on, quick off stuff eh!

yesterday's food was iffy....i had a too many HEb's (almonds, crunchy bran and a hifi) but just didn't know what i fancied all day and was in a snacky frame of mind.
pics are breakfast, lunch and a coconut iced donut which managed to creep in lol, no pic of dinner but i had stovies (sausages and potatoes all mushed together) - not had them for years! they were good.
i also had some miniature heroes....when i say some, i mean too many! and some crisps at night

i dunno what i'm thinking about my weight loss journey just now. i feel great for being on plan and eating healthy, i "feel" slimmer at times and i enjoy my food....but the numbers aren't reflecting it and no matter how hard i try not to focus on them...i can't help but let it annoy me a bit. dunno if i'm a bit bored with sw or if it's just down to the last 2 weigh ins?

i know i'm a bit heavier now than i was this time last year, but i also know that's down to the fact that since november last year, i've not really had to same mojo as i did when i first started....but when i do have it, the results are so slow.

yes 1lb a week is still 52lbs a year....but it's driving me nuts! people eat way more than me, they have treat days all the time and still see losses every week....the green eye'd monster is playing havoc with me lol

i really just want to have a balanced, healthy diet, with some treats along the way and as you all know, being off work in august, made me realise how difficult sw can be for eating out unless you've cooked and prepared for hrs before you go anywhere!

i want to eat the healthy foods, the foods that are good for me, filling etc...but i also want a bit of slack at times where it's ok to grab something like a sandwich and it not seem like the worst thing in the world!

was looking on IG earlier at the WW filling and healthy plan and how it's pretty much the same as sw free foods, but you can also have crumpets, sandwich thins, ww bready products, oats, puffed wheat, shredded wheat etc without counting it all...and i'm wondering if i should try introducing some of them now and again....or if it would show a gain for me cos i'm eating more bread products?

i think to have oats/those cereals for breakfast, a sandwich thin at lunch and a healthy, home made dinner with fruit to snack on and a wee treat at night like i've always had (on both ww and sw) is totally do-able...but i just have the fear to try?

to be honest, i dunno whether just to have a few days/a week of not doing anything...to give my head a rest....but eating healthy from the foods listed between both ww and sw...they both promote healthy eating so might be worth a try? and lets face it...these plans are looking at long term results, long term changes which are easy to sustain and not just for a quick fix!

feel like a bloody broken record! this year has def had ups and downs for me but it's getting closer to xmas and again, i'd thought about a number i'd like to be by then...and it's draaaaagggging on like mad!
i just think if i could get a decent loss, it would motivate me a wee bit more?

:confused: :confused: bah! x

I know how you feel. After a crappy WI it's tempting to think 'sod it' or debate changing diets, isn't it? Was so tempted to have a binge last night but somehow resisted. Getting a bit fed up of the restrictions and finding that ALL I think about is food and WI... x

It is hard...I didn't have a problem last year...but I realise now that it's because I wasn't out the door or socialising from when I joined til oct/nov time

I don't want to stop eating healthy, I'd just like a wee bit more freedom...and for me, i don't mean a processed micro meal, I mean a handful of nuts or a smoothie without synning them, a sandwich when I'm out etc.
Think I need to find a happy medium...god we all know what's right and wrong! Lol

Good for you not binging, you'd have only felt worse today for it ;) x

Hey Hun!

I loved SW- I lost 4 stone on it and found it so easy. Until last Christmas. And then for the neat year I faffed about and lost my mojo and I can't put my finger on why exactly.
Now I do WW I've lost a stone over 2 months (but I've gained 4 out of 8 weeks due to holidays!) so it is good. No diet is fantastic for eating out but I do find WW easier. I switch between points and filling and healthy depending on what my day looks like. Even with filling and healthy you get weeklies that would more than cover your evening treats. Yes when I point I scrimp on meals to have more treats- BUT that's my choice and it works for me.
Maybe a change is as good as a rest?
I know when I first switched I thought I was looking at a gain due to the crumpet/sandwich thin intake but I lost 4lbs.
Overall I think SW is probably healthier but WW is more covienient and suits my life style more.

Hope this helps?

well done you chick!

i just feel like i'm up and down a lot with how i feel about the plan lately.
if i've nothing on i think it's brill...when i can't be arsed or i've got stuff to do...it seems a hassle!

i've been shopping and picked up a few different things...thins, shredded wheat and crumpets and i think i'm just going to give myself a couple of days of eating healthy and not thinking about it...but still being mindful of fruit, veg and food optimising..and see how i go?

nice to hear from you luv :D x
 
so...today has not been on plan...in the eyes of sw i mean...but i reckon i've had a pretty successful day of healthier foods...without even thinking about it!

breakfast was some almonds, a nectarine and a yog
lunch was some shreddies with strawbs and banana
dinner was nandos - butterfly chicken with no skin, rice, corn salad and halloumi (altho they cremated it so i was not amused! lol)

i also had half a bowl of carrot oats in the afternoon...they were dying a death in the fridge cos i'd made them the other day lol

so in sw terms, i had 3 HEb's and 2 HEa's plus 5 syns for dinner...but i've had nothing else...i've eaten the food i wanted and enjoyed it!
not the worst choices in the world eh!

think i'm just gonna go with the flow over the next few days and eat healthily - not thinking about any plan in particular until i shake this feeling off....i don't plan to be off the rails with bad foods...i just want some time off being restricted at times....and i've no plans which means i'll be able to cook and food optimise...but even if i feel a bit more free...in my head, it might help?

hope everyone's having a good weekend...i'm off for a date with Ryan Gosling in The Notebook... :drool: lol x

I do feel for you Misskx. Todays food sounds very nice. I have had a bad time and just hoped I could get my mojo back. Lost is such a long time ago. All of a sudden I feel better about it all. Don`t know why or what. Did have a very stressful time in recent weeks. Only 2 weeks, but so far so good. You only have to look at my profile to see how long this has been going on but I have gone back to red and green cause there are some restrictions as you know and I think that is helping me,

I don`t know what your answer is going to be but hope you find it soon., Good luck. xxx

Thanks nanny D :)
Just need some time away from all the analysing I think...I mean today, I've not thought about anything yet my food has been healthy and for the first time in ages, I've not had my goodies at night! Was just full from a late dinner and altho I'm peckish now, I've come to bed instead of having something this late.

We all get there in the end....ups and downs are part of the journey I guess!

Nice to hear from you x

well...another day of not over thinking things, being off plan from sw but having what i reckon, a pretty good food day with healthy choices!
been busy all day so only just had dinner...takeaway, but picked a chicken kebab which i really fancied and thought it was a good option!

Breakfast:
shredded wheat with banana and strawberries

Lunch:
lentil soup with carrot, potato, leek and turnip
sandwich thin with ham, cheese and tomato

Dinner:
chicken kebab with peppers and salad

a healthy day without even realising it i think? not sure if i need anything else tonight....might have 2 wee chocolates but not sure yet

got to admit, this is the 1st time i've been off plan from sw....and not gorged or shovelled as much crap in as i could...i've really enjoyed my food the last 2 days and not felt bad cos i know they've been healthier choices...without over analysing everything! :D x
