Hayleys World

[Hayleyj123]

Sunday 8th November 2009
start weight 12stone 11lb
current weight 12stone 9lb
total loss 2lb

Here I go again... I originally started Slimming World at the start of October and it all looked really promising. That was until 2 weeks ago when I had a bad week and was too ashamed to go back and weigh. My 6 1/2 loss is now a 2lb loss and I am really ashamed of myself.

Oh well, today is a new day and I intend on making the most of it.

Just a short introduction... Hi,i'm Hayley! I am 28 and a full time mum to, two little girls. Kayla who is 6 and Rebekah who is almost 3. I have always been obsessed with my weight but since my mum died 8months ago, I have started to become a bit more realistic about my health.

My largest weight loss was from 16stone 4lb to 12stone 3lb between July 2003 - December 2004. have fluctuated and been pregnant again since then but have managed to maintain to some extent.

Will update later with my meal diary for the day...

(posted this entry in the main diary section but as of today, I'm moving it here.

Yesterday Food intake diary (Extra Easy)

Breakfast
Banana and a coffee

Lunch
Penne pasta with tinned Mackerel in tomato sauce and a chopped yellow pepper

Evening meal
Roast gammon (minus fat)
Roast parsnips & roast potatoes (sprayed with fry light)
Carrots, peas and broccoli
Bisto (2.5 syns)

Evening snack
Cup of tea
Curly Wurly 6 syns

8.5 syns for the day

Thoughts.... really need to broaden my meal ideas because this is one of the reasons I gave up in the first place. Being on a tight budget usually means my needs get put aside just so the girls have enough to eat but if I plan, I can't fail!

My last post was 5 days ago and I haven't kept this up. I did start using the additional blog but gave up on that idea too. At least here, other people are more likely to read my ramblings!

As I said in my last post, I had a 2 week break from slimming world and decided to bite the bullet and get back into it. I know had gained and went back to group last Thursday. I had gained 1.5lb which wasn't as bad I previously thought. *Phew* That is easily rectifyable thank goodness.

Had a bad day yesterday and I knew I would as soon as my OH decided he wasn't hungry and wanted us to eat once the girls had gone to bed. It got to about 7pm and I was ravenous and didn't care what I ate - bad mistake . Didn't have time to make something the SW way so yesterday went right out of the window.

New start today whoop whoop, go me!

Just seeing your comments about eating whne the kids have gone to bed and being ravenous,my hubby travels with his job sometimes and i often like to wait and eat with him. I have found that if i have something like a mugshot or small tin of baked beans ,both of which are free on green or EE ( some mugshots do have syns but most are free) its just enough to tide me over-plus mugshots on offer in asda atm £1.50 for 4.

Ps one of my favourite lunches is pasta with a can of mackerel in tom sauce-have you tired it with some grated l/f cheddar ( HXA) its gorgeous!!

 

[Hayleyj123]

I love tinned mackerel with tomato sauce and sometimes mix it with baked beans to go on top of a jacket potato. That is definately on the shopping list for tomorrow.

Good idea about the mug shots, I have had them before but ran out about a week ago. Shopping day tomorrow so will stock up. Thanks for the tip Also stops me picking at the girls food x

Just read your food plan and for an EE day, you havent had a Hea or Heb here Hun.

 

[Hayleyj123]

I usually use my HEXa for tea throughout the day and majority of the time, use my entire allowance. I think that day my cupboards were a little bare and didn't really have anything in that I'd like as a HEXb. I do usually use them

Not updated this for a few days so thought I had better do so today. I went to a hen party on Fri night and took my own vodka but ended up attacking the buffet table so have been trying to redeem myself the past few days. Sunday was a good day, so was yesterday until I had some naughty things last night

I did weigh this morning and I haven't gained so am thankful for that and have 2 days til weigh day. I will be happy to stay the same to be honest, anything besides a gain!!
