Morning

So...rant time! Got weighed this morning an lost 1lb. I'm so frustrated and annoyed! I've stayed well within my syns, exercised more consistently and eaten more superfree than I have in a while. For 1lb. And I know 1lb is still a loss but when I've been so focused and 100% and still have a lot to lose its annoying. I actually wanted to throw the scales through the window lol. Feeling disheartened and a bit stuck. :-( still I won't let it affect my week, maybe my body will play catch up with a good loss for next week. So 1lb down, 13lb to go before Egypt.

Hello diary!

Well, it's here. The day has finally come....last bootcamp session! I have to admit I've found them tough, and motivating myself to go has been hard (primarily because its a 26mile round trip to go!) but when I've been I've enjoyed them. If they were closer to home I might consider carrying on but my petrol tank is taking a beating!
Gonna give it 100% tonight for the last one, then back to good old 30DS, gym and swimming.
Having a crap day at work- had a run in with a member of staff known for being awkward and difficult. I hate conflict and arguing so have that horrible knotty feeling in my belly.
Anyhow...having a green day today, probably last one in a while as I have come to the conclusion I much prefer red and EE

Breakfast
Museli (HEXB) with melon, kiwi and pineapple

Lunch
Pasta n sauce packet. 2 tangerines

Pre-bootcamp snack
Half mugshot (OH opened it yesterday and only had half lol) and a pink lady apple

Post bootcamp tea
Chips, cheese & beans (HEX A)

Snacks
Cart d'or ice cream (3.5 syns)
2 alpen lights (HEX B)

Morning diary,

Back at the doctors today to re-check my BP. I'm hoping with the increase in exercise it'll have come down but I've kids resigned myself to the fact it won't. I'm only 28 but given my family history, I know the subject of medication is going to come up. It's worrying me because I don't want to go down that road so young and have nowhere to go when I'm older. My mum started to suffer with all her medical problems in her early 40s but now in her late 50s is much healthier and fitter....but dependent on her medication. I'm going to ask the nurse for a blood test to check for all the things my mum has/had - cholesterol, under active thyroid etc and see where I stand.
It maddens me that for so many years I ate rubbish, treated my body horrendously and now I've started to take care of myself and lose the weight I'm getting the health problems I've tried to avoid. If I could go back in time and tell my younger self to PUT THE PIZZA DOWN I totally would!
Anyhow...last bootcamp last night was HARD! Wow! He made us run a total of 2.5miles- which for me is the furthest I've run ever! In between that there was some lovely crunches, press ups, and other such evil core exercises! I would recommend it I just wish it was closer to home.
Food plan today isn't as concrete as I would like as OH might be working late.
