Hathor's Diary - Keeping Motivated

[Hathor]

Yesterday: Breakfast: one toast (b) with laughing cow extra light (a) and tomatoes. 1 banana

Lunch: spinach salad with mackerel and fat free cottage cheese
Fairy cake 6 syns

Alpen light

Dinner: bolognese (made with half quorn and half beef mince, with courgettes added) with small amount of pasta. This would have been OK but I went back and ate the rest of it which was intended for today. Not sure why I did it, but I know that after eating the first lot I still felt hungry. I was exhausted from the day and hadn't stopped all day and I was also quite emotional. I'm premenstrual too and I always get the munchies.

Back on track today! hmmmm

Had a very weird few days. Eating the cakes I made really threw me off kilter....I started skipping healthy foods to compensate. DOH! stupid thing to do.

Back to eating normally today. Here is yesterday:

Breakfast: slice toast with 1 laughing cow extra light on it, 1 banana.

Made cakes and of course ate some of it (not much but feel stupid now). Then ate grapes, another banana. No lunch.

Dinner: Slimming world chilli with sw chips. yummy.

I feel really weird about how this cake thing affected me. Its like I couldn't stand the feeling of being out of control and I somehow had to make things better by only eating fruit. I'm determined to not do that again.

 

[Hathor]

Breakfast: 2 eggs, 1 slice ham, mushrooms, 1 toast (b) with laughing cow extra light (a) brown sauce (1 syn)

Lunch: very small jacket potato with sw chilli and ff cottage cheese

Dinner: Beef stew with courgettes, carrots, onions and mushrooms, with mashed potato.

Shape Zero. Alpen Light (b)
Milk in drinks (a)

 

[Hathor]

Breakfast: Quorn Sausage x 1, Gammon slice x 1 (fat removed), mushrooms, egg x 1, toast x 1 (b), with laughing cow extra light (a), beans
Coffee with milk (a)

Lunch: spinach salad, 2 x eggs, tuna, spring onions, tomatoes, olives (half a syn), peppers, sweet chilli dressing (1 syn)

Dinner: Slimming world chicken curry (YUM) and syn free onion bahjis (x 2), small amount of rice.

Shape Zero, Alpen Light

:sigh: Its easily done. I think if you've been on the plan for a short time, like us, then there is a fear of going back to how we used to be. Its almost like if I eat cakes once then I'm so scared that all of this success will go away

Its weigh in today for me. I managed to hurt my neck last night doing work in the house (its really painful I can hardly move it). Its making me feel rubbish. I didn't manage to do the hours I needed on the Wii fit, but to be honest I'm proud of what I have done and what I have achieved. I've lost 9lbs in August (not including today, which I really hope isn't a gain).

We are both doing well, lets keep going and see the goal in sight!!

Lunch, Salad with peppers, onions, 1 egg, ham, fat free cottage cheese. 1 banana

At the park my daughter wanted an icecream - its a problem because she is two she can't manage one all on her own, so I shared it with her and my boyfriend, but I ended up having at least half of it. It was the smallest they did but still quite a lot of icecream on it... I will count 6 syns

Dinner: Stir fry with prawns, veggies, peppers, onions, courgettes, green beans, sweet chilli sauce 2 syns, chinese five spice, noodles

Knowing you for such a short time, I can completely understand why your group voted you ass their Woman of the Year, well done and well deserved

as for the loss well done you deserved that too, you might have the occasional blip (you are only human!) but you always make up for it afterwards

well done, good luck for next week, donnax
