It all starts now...!

Wednesday 1st February 2012

Thanks girls! Woke up still happy today J Dinner today was a bit oops :/ Hate my workplace for dinner etc as some days of the week it’s just impossible to eat my own stuff. I do clinical admin at a company what does psychotherapy and counselling. Anyway, there’s nowhere for us to eat our dinner..which I’m sure must be illegal. There is a café, but because it’s open to the general public we have to buy stuff from there. On the quiet days, I’m able to go and sit in one of the spare therapy rooms but when they’re all full, I have no choice to go to our café. In summer I’ll just go outside and walk/eat but its bludy freezing today. Random rant there..but it really frustrates me!!
Anyway…

Breakfast
Fresh Pineapple

Dinner
Bacon, Brie and Onion Chutney Panini with side salad (I left the crisps..hurray!)
Fook me just checked the damage L (Brie HEX A, Panini 12, Chutney 2)

Tea
Baked Potato with Tuna and Lighter than Light Mayo served with Salad
EDIT: Change of plan..my Mam suprised me by making something out of the EE cook cook! Some pasta thingy which was 1.5 sins

Snack
Will have to come up with something to have with scan bran as I’m doing the challenge (HEX B) Otherdays I’ll be able to make it edible but with my syns accounted for, looks like I’ll be chewing it with cottage cheese.
Syns- 15.5
Exercise
Will do an hour on the wii..probably one of the Just Dance games.

Afternoon all

Done that naughty thing last night and stepped on the scales (mine always say the same as SW ones) and it looks like i've put on 1lb-1.5lbs which I'm a bit depressed about :( Really don't want to go tonight as it's going to be so embarrasing! "Joanne is here for her --- week with..a gain of --lbs" ARGH :( Forcing myself to go through.
It's just lack of excercise im thinking..went to go swimming last night and they they had the whole pool shut off for lessons. Was less than impressed! Onwards and downwards eh..? :rolleyes:
Going running straight from group tonight..I'm doing the C25K programme, on week 4 i believe.

Breakfast

Banana

Snack
1 Choc & Orange Alplen Light bar (3)

Dinner
Chicken Sandwich - 2 small slices of Hovis Wholemeal (6) Chicken, lettuce, cucumber and sweetcorn

Snack
Yogurt

Tea
Turkey meatballs in a tomato sauce with tagliatelle and sugarsnap peas

Syns- 9

Don't worry about that hun - your consultant is not their to embarrass you. When a member has a gain my consultant usually tackles it more in the way of "Stevie has been with us for ?? weeks and has lost a total of ??lbs so far"

There's no shame in a gain. And besides, you may be pleasantly surprised when you go to class tonight. Good luck xx
 
Hello! Just read through your diary :) I love the dress you're wearing on your first post! The green goes so well with your hair colour, looks gorgeous!! Don't worry about seeing a gain on your own scales, this is why we shouldn't hop on the scales unless it's our official WI because your weight can fluctuate throughout the week. It is hard though, I used to weigh myself every morning and evening!!!! Scales can be evil xx
 
Thanks girls :) well, half a pound on. Not disastrous but it shouldn't have happened! Setting myself a mini goal of 3lbs next week to try make up for it. I heard other people talking to their friends etc, quite a few put on so they left straight after they weighed in. I decided to face the music and stay and I'm glad I did! I enjoyed it :) done my C25K session straight after group then went back with Rosie to her and my brothers flat so he could take me home. She had bought last months magazine so I photocopied lots of recipes from that and the little recipe book that came with it.

Came home to a lovely tea- all syn free so I will update my earlier post now.

Looking forward to a 100% week with lots more exercise! Xx
