I love my Red Days :-)

[Nanny Doreen]

OMG you sound so busy. I don`t how you find the time to do all what you do and writing a diary on here. I have been reading through your diaries again and have picked up some ideas for lunches on red days.

Hope you ok. Keep going.

Tell me about it! Had a bit of a meltdown last night, just super tired and putting on weight is getting me down. Am 11st 6lb at the mo, I hate it. But really battling with energy levels as work is pretty stressful and keeps putting more on me :-( just don't seem to have any willpower.

Maybe I should read back thru my diary to inspire me!

Might do a fast day as won't be home til 9pm and only got a low calorie ready meal in.......not sure?

Breakfast - melon
Lunch - carbonara ready meal (380 calories)
Dinner - salad I think

 

[Jenny809]

Breakfast - scrambled eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes

Lunch - lunch out - salad (lettuce, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, celery), baguette, cold meats, few crisps, bit of brie (hexa), strawberries

Dinner - jacket potato, tuna, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, beetroot

Syns - 5 at the most for lunch

Breakfast - muller light yoghurt, banana

Lunch - chicken stir fry (chicken breast, red/green/yellow pepper, mushrooms, baby corn, carrots, soy sauce, chilli, garlic, s&p)

Saturday

Had a lovely day on a big gromit hunt with the boys. Really hot and a bit pink now!

Breakfast - bacon sandwich

Lunch - 2 wm rolls with ham, apple

Dinner pizza express, the low calorie option which is a ring of pizza and salad in the middle! Crunchie ice cream

Bit of chocolate whilst watching a film

Lots of bad things today but I like to be honest with myself and write it all down. We also walked about 3-4 miles so hopefully counteracted some of it!

Gonna try and be back on it today. Not much food in, got a low calorie ready meal so might go for that and do a 500 calorie day. Might help with wi tomorrow but due on soon so probably will be bad anyway.

Hi I'm joining I'm thinking of coming back to slimming world and want to do red days, how are you getting on?

 

[Jenny809]

Have you done sw before? I do love red days and lost a lot of weight on them but finding it very hard to maintain now! Just bounce around my target. But a week of red does sort it out straight away!

Hey Jen,
How are you Hun? You will have any gains off in no time target is hard, and it takes time to get used to being 'around' a weight, rather than actually losing. Even though I'm close to target, I've set myself a new one of 4lb below so that I can hang around my ideal and not feel too stressed if I put a couple of pounds on when I get there.
Its so hard during the summer too i find
Good luck this week lady xxx

 

[Jenny809]

Hi Lou, sorry for delay! Don't get on here very much, not quite the same here anymore, probably my problem!

I just can't seem to resist all manner of naughty foods whereas I always used to, so no idea what's up. Have stopped weighing myself as know it'll be bad. Need a good kick up the arse tho!!

 

[thumbelloulou]

Its not the same here i know.. I only really update my own diary and not daily!
Try not to be down on yourself tho - you worked so hard to get to target - it's v easy to get there and eat everything you've been denying yourself during the dieting time!
A little focus and some red days for you an you'll be back on track
I almost didn't fast this week thinking 'I'm so close, when am I gonna fit it in and one week won't make a diff..' But I've managed to tell myself off! Lol

I swear this time of year is do hard tho too!

Pick out some of your fave sw recipes - Pulled Pork?? Home made burgers- ALDI wm roll pizzas.... (I've heard you encourage others with that line ) and plan your week as much as poss
You can do it lovely - then when back at target find a structured way to maintain - like increasing hex's and syns ( or I know you mentioned trying 5:2 - perhaps try a couple of weeks then maybe do a one day a week fast to maintain - no denying yourself then
Don't give up tho love- you've worked so hard and will not take long for you to be feeling positive again xx
