Progress



Progress

I feel like I have had a really good week this week. I have eaten tons of superfree and feel like I have really made some progress emotionally.

Things that have stood out for me this week:

*I have been having much smaller portions of carbs
*Sometimes I have even adapted meals, so instead of lasagne and chips that my partner had, I had a portion of lasagne with a massive portion of stir fry veg and do you know what- it was just as tasty
*I resisted chocolate digestives at work
*My partner sat and ate cheese and biscuits and I didn't touch them. (Usually I would have eaten half a block of cheese and half packet of biscuits.
*I feel different this week- I can see myself changing shape. Also my size 20 jeans are hanging off me

I am not a fast loser usually a 1lb a week if that. I don't exercise so I can't expect much more, but I am happy its coming off and I am changing the way I think about things.

Tuesday 10/5/11
Feeling good this morning! Did my normal morning weigh and I was praying to show 15.9 something or other and it flashed up15.8 1/2!! Hurrah! Do I think I could be on for a good loss this week if I keep on plan.

I see the nurse Friday and wanted to be at least 15.8 so fingers crossed :fingerscrossed: Only 2 more lbs and I will have a new 2 stone shiny!

Feeling really positive about plan this week, I feel like I can actually do it this time. Head is in a good place with regards to food!

Some bad news last night though my poor sisters little cat got run over on the road by her house. The neighbour saw it, the person was speeding, hit poor Dora and then just drove off Very sad.

So good today:

Breakfast
2 boiled eggs
2 wholemeal snack rolls (HEB ) + (3 syn)
Low fat spread (1 syn)

Lunch
Left over chicken and veg pasta from yesterday
Strawberry and grapes
Muller light

Not sure about tea yet! Will update later.. maybe chili and rice!

Edit: We have decided on a Chinese for tea as OH been away, we got nothing in, can't be bothered to go to supermarket and I have been so extra good this week

I will be having some special chow mein, salt and pepper chicken and shredded beef. I am allowing the rest of today's syn (11) and syns saved from yesterday (10) and also an extra 5! So in total allowing 26 which should cover it I would hope!

Weekly syn used: 35/105

So extra good for the rest of the week so hopefully a good loss on Friday for the nurse

So Saturday is off plan, I have asked OH if we can have something to eat before we go so I won;t want to pick at all the crisps and pizzas they will buy.

But other than than will be at OH's parents house so going to find it difficult to be on plan. Just going to have to be as good as I can I suppose and then get back on it when we come back on Monday. Just being silly
