WI at lunch today, am really hoping for a miracle but anything put on or a STS and I kind of deserve it, kicking myself, really tried last week and just stuffed it up completly by having 'FUN'....ooooh... will update WI results, just wanted a moan :cry:

Wednesday 3rd March

Hello,

Yesterday didn't go to plan, OH and I had to go out to get some presents for family birthdays last minute as realised that we don't actually have another opportunity to, blah blah blah...long story short, I had a bean burger and didn't go to thegym.

Thursday 4th March

LBTs class last nigth was not as difficult as the previous week but I am aching today which is a good sign. Another green day today. Really can feel myself steering away from SW, trying hard not to but I seem to be having a dip in enthusiasm, not sure why - had to really try hard to have the lunch I brought in with me today, even ended up in Pret staring at sandwiches and wraps, pathetic, felt a bit bitter about all the happy smiling people with their lovely big sandwiches, oh well, I didn't cave in so I guess that counts for something!

Tuesday, 9th March

Hello,

Hope you all had a great weekend, haven't checked in for a few days as just couldn't face up to the weekend I've had - very foody. Was my brother's birthday on Friday so spent the night with him and his friend's - there was beer and cava involved (classy!), dinner at Strada, I went for the worst pasta dish, I just couldn't resist the gorgonzola thing, Saturday night was my best friend's hen night, was a brilliant night, this started at Ask, had the full 3 courses, all very oily - cut down on the cheese though and the night was generally very much filled with vodka. Sunday OH 's mum's birthday so a pub lunch, had open chicken pie...hmm, wonder if I lost anything this week!??

I have 3 days off work after today and am very busy, I can't make WI and have decided this is a good thing, don't want to get myself down about a gain, yet again a line is being drawn under this and I will hopefully be back to my previous weight at next week's WI. Have lots of SW friendly food at home in preperation, planned meals and booked in for a good few aerobics classes this week, am also decorating so maybe I'll throw a few squats into that!

Green day today

Poached egg
2 slices tiny toast (HEB)

Friday, 19th March

I'm so pleased it's Friday!

Didn't do any exercise last night, the old LBTs class on Wednesday has stiffened me up so much it's hard to walk down the stairs! Will do a class on Sunday, that'll be 4 for this week so not too bad (am doing DVD tonight before the feasting begins!)

Seeing as I have been pretty good this week decided to buy something yummy(but reasonably SW friendly) from M & S. Decided to do my own rice as their ones had butter and kinds of delicious things which would no doubt be high in syns. Got some gorgeous looking naan breads and thought I might go extra crazy and just have 1/4 - they're 19 syns EACH!

Breakfast
poached egg
2 tiny toast (HEB)
Flora EL on one slice (0.5 syn)

NO NAAN FOR ME - ZERO SYNS:cry:

Sparkling white wine - I predict 13 syns worth, little over for today (21.5) but am well within my weekly syns...her I go again, justifying myself!

Have a great weekend!

Friday26th March

Hello!

Left work early yesterday as had the most awful headache ever, ended up skipping lunch pretty much, felt a whole lot better once home (think I need my eyes tested) slept a bit and then forced myself to do 50 minutes of Davina DVD as really want to lose at next WI....however, this afternoon and went out for a very rare lunch with a couple of people from work...

Thursday - Green day

Breakfast
porridge (HEB)
semi skimmed milk (HEA)

Snack
2 apples
Snack a jacks (5.5 syns)

Mid afternoon snack
2 tiny toast (HEB)
Flora EL spread (1 syn)

Dinner
mashed potato
2 quorn sausages
mixed bean, lentil and veg casserole 'thing'

Today - EE I guess?

Breakfast
porridge
ss milk
brown sugar!!! (2 syns)

Snack
apple

Lunch...hmmmm :break_diet:
3 sandwiches (as in 3 one quater bits cut into lovely little triangles, not like 6 slices of bread!) these were loaded with filling, not even going to try and get myself out of this by using HE's - they were bad. One cheese and pickle - not so bad, one bacon and stilton all mashed up and then one chicken and bacon, again, suspect mayo. Not quite sure how to syn these, thinking a lot. Also had 2, maybe more 3 glasses red wine.

Tell you what, writing today off, just been given a Cadbury's cream egg, I should resist....maybe I'll take home for OH.

Dinner
OH REALLY wants an Indian, I have deprived him of these things for so long it's only fair, going to be as good as possible despite the disaster that was lunch and go with plain rice and chana masala (chickpeas) 6 syns.

I'm guessing maybe a grand total of 35-40 syns for today. No drinking this weekend, lots of free and super free food I think and some hardcore cardio tomorrow and Sunday....uh oh, I think already I'm going down the 'I'm going to punish myself for this' path...

Thursday 8th April

There are no two ways about it, I have not been good at all over the past week, can not even remeber most of it, mainly surrounds my usual problem areas of bread and chocolate. Didn't get to WI this week as took Tuesday off work so no idea what the damage is, I'm going to try to reign myself back in and hopefully all will be back to normal next WI so I can go on blisfully unaware of the damage I have done...that's the plan...:break_diet:

Feeling very down right now about a few family (mum) things going on right now and could quite easily sit at home crying and eating...having a job gets in the way of self pity though, so...
