Fresh start diary

[law3a3m]

We're off to Egypt next Friday for a week. It's all inclusive and I'm fully expecting a gain but hoping I can cap it at 7lbs maximum. I put weight on so easily as I have an underactive thyroid and PCOS so the minute I'm off plan I balloon lol. Only recently found out about these conditions though so now I'm aware hopefully I'll be able to manage them better. And not eat as many bad things! Since SW I enjoy fresh salads and fruit much more so my aim is to go for that rather than the pastries etc.
Ooh London sounds good - have you got anything in particular planned? The choccywoccydoodah shop would be my downfall!
Rubbish about the cold, wrap up and drink lots of lemsip and hot water! xx

Ohhh... A chocolate shop... An going to have to google that later! Egypt sounds lovely, I went a
Couple of years ago and loved the amazing
Snorkling, was like finding nemo!!
Went all inclusive too but think I only put 2lb on which was v surprising as would have chocolate doughnuts for my breakfast pudding! Think I filled my plate up with salad to fill me up at meal
Times but still had naughty food. Enjoy yourself, it's your hol and you know you can lose any wee gain when you're back x

Hello diary!

Well I'm back from an amazing week in Egypt! Ha such a good time really didn't want to come home. We went quad biking and camel riding in the Sahara, swam with wild dolphins and went to a big water park.




Swimming with dolphins!

Great experiences and despite my concerns before we went that it would be restrictive because of the troubles over there, it was absolutely fine! The people were so friendly and helpful.
The all inclusive aspect did mean I drank far too much alcohol and ate the wrong things but I always intended to have the week off SW and relax. I haven't stepped on the scales since I've been back as I'm re-joining group next Monday. Gonna have a great week this week and see what the damage is next Monday. I've got the week planned to a tee and am actually looking forward to eating some healthy meals!

Feeling very bloated and generally unpleasant today, am having bowel issues lol. Lots of fibre for meeee!
Had a great first day on plan yesterday, had 7.5 syns and was happy with that. It reminded me that I don't feel hungry when I follow SW properly but junk food makes me massively hungry.

Morning diary!

So went back to group last night, seems like a lovely group, quite small and the consultant seems really enthusiastic and friendly so feeling positive. I had gained quite a bit but on reflection I've been arseing around for 4 weeks so no great shock there lol.
Im glad I've gone to a group, I feel much more like I'm accountable to somebody and am therefore more likely to stick to plan.

Breakfast
Sausage & bacon pitta with cheese (A&B)

Lunch
Pasta n sauce

Tea
Spaghetti bolognese packed with tomatoes, peppers, onions, celery & carrot.

Morning diary,

Had another great day yesterday and am feeling in the zone! Even the appearance of TOTM just before my first weigh in will not detract from the fact that I am officially on track. I feel like I did when I first started SW, I'm weighing my healthy extras again instead of guestimating and am varying my meals more. Was going to the gym tonight but I have a massive blister on my toe from my new trainers and it hurts to walk let alone run/row etc!
Today is another EE

Breakfast
Weetabix & chocolate milk (A&B)

Lunch
Pasta bake with tomatoes, celery, onions and peppers

Tea
Prawn chow mein with beanspouts, stir-fry veg and onions (2.5 syns for sauce)

Snacks/syns
Bottle of wine (24 syns)
Few slices of gammon
Fruit salad of orange, apple, melon, pineapple & grapes

Morning diary!

Happy weekend! I'm quite pleased with how last night went, I had my wine and that's where it stopped- no beer munchies! That's usually where I fall down, not so much the booze as it is the rubbish I eat afterwards and the next day.
My OH is getting a tattoo done as I write and I'm desperately trying to distract myself from the noise by writing my diary!
Think we're off to buy an actifry afterwards- so excited for this!

EE today

Breakfast
Bacon & sausage & cheese pitta (A&B)

Lunch
Spicy tomato mugshot, melon, grapes & orange

Tea
Lamb shank in mint gravy, actifry potatoes & broccoli

Snacks/syns
Might have a galaxy bubble bar for 8.5 syns

 

[law3a3m]

Having a mega munchie craving! Nothing seems to be filling me up tonight. Had a lovely big tea, have eaten some pomegranate, pineapple & melon and drank loads of water but I still feel empty. :-/ I've got a galaxy bar but am saving it for as late as possible as I don't want to have it then crave even more sugar!
Could have a mugshot but it would be my second one of the day....I hate TOTM it really gets my hunger piqued!

 

[law3a3m]

Morning diary,

Managed to stay in control last night despite the bottomless pit syndrome I developed! Hoping today is better, especially being at work so I'll be busier. Not taking any money with me so I can't be tempted by the vending machine of doom lol.
