JanD's Maintenance Diary, wk 25 onwards.

[JanD]

I'll write a book about it Tan - call it 'The (other) Secret' and make a FORTUNE!!! Lol!!!

Well - got weighed when I got up tonight and have done more damage than the flippin' holiday .. Up 2.8lbs ... I'm now 10st 12.2lbs - after TFR & 2 weeks refeed I was 10st 7lbs. That might not sound too bad I know but I lost a bit more and found I was most comfortable around 10st 3 or 4lbs - therefore I need to lose 8 or 9 lbs.

I totally understand and realise that might not sound like much to some people but these things are relative and it feels like a chunk of weight to me. What's more I WILL NOT go over 11st!!!!!!

So can I please have plenty of arse-kicks to set me on my way???

For tea I've had 2 grilled rashers of extra trimmed bacon, a poached egg and some bbq beans ... I'm still having a few v&cs ... stubbornly I won't give them up - I'd rather eat less. I know that's silly - but there we are, nobody said grandmothers always have to be sensible ;oP xx

Could you be ever so kind and repay the favour?! haha

Jan, Jan, Jan!!!!!!

Come on! Get a grip the last thing you want is to get over 11st, and if you dont stop it now, it will start to creep up!!!!! Did that help

You know you can do it; if you can apply your stubbornness about your V&C's to your picking, brill!

Ok for me being on TFR, but I know you will just hate that feeling of knowing you are heavier than you feel comfortable with, but only you are able to put a stop on it. So, we are all willing you to get to that point.

Have the three weeks before your sister gets married to spur you on!

You are my inspiration, so dont let me, Tan, and Mary down ;-)!

Am I helping????? !!! hope so!

 

[JanD]

Tan ... have been over to your thread to oblige xx

Iris!!!! Thank you for coming out of - I was going to say hiding but I don't think you've been 'hiding' but hopefully you know what I mean - thank you for caring ... you have no idea what it means to me to have you come and tell me off
It just shows that - no matter what - we are here for each other and no matter how we might feel and be doing ourselves we still want to give our help and support and try to stop others getting totally out of control even though we may feel that we, ourselves are.

I LOVE this place.

Thank you all!! :grouphugg:

Mary - I'll be mortified if I go over 11st I don't have the excuse of giving up smoking !!

I didn't come on here yesterday (tbh I really wanted to last night but me and DH were having our valentine's evening as we've got 2 of the grandchildren from today for a couple of days so I thought going on the laptop might be a bit rude - however DH fell asleep at 9pm so I could have - but then I wouldn't have been able to claim the moral highground would I )

Anyhoo - yesterday - Sat 13th Feb

Breakie - crust of toast with icbinb at Mum's - shopped in way home and then had 2 weetabix, blueberries, splenda & skimmed milk when I got home.

Bed all day

Tea - Succumbed to Tesco's Valentine Meal deal - Chianti roast beef with rosemary potatoes, green veg, Belgian chocolate torte, a bottle of fizz and a small bag of thornton's chocs (3ozs - 7 chocs, 3 for him and 4 for me )
I was sitting here thinking that - although I'd 'broken my diet' - it actually could have been a lot worse and it need not necessarily have done too much damage at all when DH left the room - came back and said - 'I think I'm in trouble' - and handed me a box of assorted Lindor chocolates.

Well needless to say I said 'Oh darling thank you for the thought but if you don't mind I'll save them until I'm in a more comfortable place weight-wise'

HA!!!! If you believe that!!!!! ........................ I actually said 'YOU B*****D' - ripped open the box, shared them into 2 piles (I don't like the dark chocolate ones so he got all of them and a 'couple' of others) and scoffed the lot !!!!!!!

Later on I had a slice of roast beef with phili light because I felt like something savoury. **big sigh** ... ah well .... my fault I can't say 'No'!!! xx

Sunday 14th Feb

Breakie - Oat so simple golden syrup porridge with blueberries.

Had this quite late and wanted to eat with grandchildren ie. early tea, so didn't have any lunch except for a slice of corned beef - oh - and 2 wine and sodas in the pub.

Tea - Lightly dusted river cobbler with brocolli, 3 wedges & extra light salad cream.

Few v&cs tonight

Pkt weightwatchers cheesey tortilla chips.

 

[kered]

haha Jan, you made me laugh with your reply to DH with the chocolates........but at least you shared them with him.

 

[JanD]

Yeah .... why should I be the only one gaining weight??? LOL!! xx

 

[joy1]

yes that made me laugh too. My hubby's a bar humbug when it comes to valentine's did not even get a card, but we did go out on the 13th for a meal with friends, and he bought me an mp3 player for the gym, so will forgive him. Jan where can I get the granola from it's sounds delicious and I would like a change.

 

[JanD]

They sell it in the larger Tescos Joy. The only other place I've seen it is in an International supermarket in Liverpool ... not a lot of help I know It's not cheap - about £3.20 for 500gms, but it IS nice xx

Happy to report a 3.8lb loss this week . I don't think I can take all the credit - I think part of it might be that pesky unexpected & unexplained totm finally coming to an end (almost) - but I must have done something right

Lunch - 2 slices soya & linseed with olive light spread, pork loin, rocket, cucumber & vlf salad cream.
