Good morning ladies.....

How I am glad to be back on here!! Had a week off work and a week off the diet! I am back on it today...not getting weighed this week as I am working over all week so won't get chance to go to my nans to weigh everyone but I can certainly tell I've had a gain with my clothes...wouldn't surprise me if it weren't about 3lb!!

Anyway new week and a fresh start. I even called to the shop before work this morning for some fruit as I had none in the house so today's food diary is:

Mon 7/10 - EE Day

Breakie

1 banana
1 snack pack of grapes

[Rachel1903]

Nice to see you back! I'm with you on the fresh start, I've put on 1.5lbs! back to square 1 now!

Food is looking good for today x

Hi Rachel,

Thank you

I feel rubbish in myself this week...can't believe how much your diet can affect how you feel. Need a right kick up the bum as can't believe how much rubbish I have eaten. Your 1.5 gain isn't too bad and can easily be taken back off in a week so fingers crossed for you and here's to a good week for us both!

I even got two pitta breads out of the freezer this morning to go with our tea but I aint having mine. I know it will only be 7 syns and I would still be under 10 but I am going for a week of minimum syns this week and see if that helps me out x

 

[Rachel1903]

I know, it really does make you feel crappy! Good idea having low syns, I think I'm going to try the same! Going to aim for 5 or less a day.... think I will try to steer clear of carbs too! Going to aim for a mainly red week. We'll do it! x

Hi Doreen,

I am very well thanks....little tired with working so much but won't be complaining when the money is in my wage packet
how are you? Oh yes it definitely drives you mad....I am constantly up and down. I'd really like to go back to group but position I'm in at the moment I just don't see the point (probably the wrong mindset to be in) x

 

[angwass]

Hi Rachel and Babytree.....I am beginning to think the computer on the bike may be wrong as thinking about it 9 miles in 20 minutes so seem a bit ridiculous. The bike is brand new though so I'd hope it was working right haha. I do go at a fast pace though and I do it in 2 x 10 min stints as my legs are like jelly when I get off haha.

Eeeek good luck with WI on Sat Rachel....I really enjoyed going to group and would love to go back again, I just feel at the minute with the whole trying to conceive that it would be a waste of money, not sure if that's the right or wrong mindset to be :-s although way things are going I could still be sat here next year with no bump! Hmmm will have a serious think about this actually as I aint doing as well as I would if I was at a group.

I know it's only your first week at group but are you finding that you are more disciplined or exactly the same? x

I know - I am usually the post patient person ever but with this it's a whole different story....so impatient. I knew it weren't going to happen straight away but after 5 months it gets a bit frustrating. I know I just have to chill out and relax about it and it will sure happen.

Tbh I think if you've had a 100% week since the afternoon tea then I'm certain it won't hinder you getting a good result this week I know what you mean as it's embarrassing when they are going round and you've had a gain, or I felt like that anyway so it definitely made me work harder.
