Loosing weight for the final time

[Acceber]

Hi Laura

Thanks for the encouragement don't worry I've got no plans to give up I'm sure it's just a blip. I feel that I've fed myself & my family more consistently healthily in the past 2 weeks on SW than I have for ages & really feel it's a plan that will benefit all our health, not just my weight so def planning on keeping going with it!

I'm feeling much more positive this afternoon

How you feeling this evening hun? Sounds like you've had a good day. What dog have you got. I've got a staffy pup called Jodie. She's 7 months and loves a walk. She's having her first season at the mo so she's indoors for a while bless. We've got a big back yard so it's not too bad.

Hi Jules

Yes I've stopped feeling sorry for myself - a STS isn't exactly the end of the world, is it?!

Your pup sounds lovely. They are so fun when they're little. We have 2 dogs at the mo. We puppy walk for guide dogs, so we currently have an 11 month old golden retriever x lab. She's had her first season & the dreaded spay is around the corner in a couple of weeks. She'll leave us in a couple of months to go & complete her training & fingers crossed be paired with a blind person. Our permanent resident is our black lab who we puppywalked but she was too stressed by the training so was withdrawn & we adopted her. She's now 3 1/2 & has a love/hate relationship with the pups depending on their age!

Ahh bless she's very cute. Hope she's a good girl

Stayed on plan fine all day.

Breakfast = fruit, ml yog & 28g porridge oats (5 syns)
Snack = Banana
Lunch = pasta, mushrooms, bacon, mixed salad, 5x light laughing cow triangles (HEa), 2 x HiFi butterscotch bars (HEb)
Dinner= Thai rice salad with spicy beef (from recipe book), aero mousse (5 syns)

Total syns for day = 10

Also just started reading a book called 'The Beck Solution : Train your brain to think like a thin person' Someone recommended it to me & I have only read the introduction & first chapter but so far very impressed with the concept - it's based on cognitive behavioural therapy to try to 'retrain' the brain. I'll give anything a go to make sure I stick with it!!!

Hope everyone out there has had a good day

Off now to a meeting about my eldest daughter's forthcoming guide camp ... the fun just never stops

Middle DD's 10th birthday today, and I'm patting myself on the back. I made her a lovely chocolate birthday cake (one of those huge cup cake ones) and made hummingbird bakery recipe vanilla frosting to decorate it in two colours and I didn't eat a single bit, not even a little lick of the spoon. How's that for willpower?!

Food for today

Breakfast : fruit & yoghurt
Lunch : Tuna pasta bake made with tinned tomatoes, garlic, onion, herbs, Alpen Light bar (3 Syns)
Dinner : BBQ - home made burgers (free), wholemeal roll (HEb), 2 x LF cheese slices (HEa), Sweet chilli sauce (2 syns), couscous salad (0.5 syns), home made coleslaw made with FF Fromage frais, mixed salad, new potatoes cooked with rosemary and a splash of olive oil (1 syn) Red wine (8.5 syns), pudding (instead of cake) SW friendly trifle (1 syn).

Total syns for today : 16 - not bad in the circumstances & could have been sooooo much worse if I'd had the cake. I'm actually quite proud of myself today

Tired now so will catch up on other posts tomorrow. Night night x

Hi Acceber

Just catching up with posts, and spotted your diary - your food sounds good, and I'm impressed at your willpower with the cake!

Sorry about your STS this week - hope you have moved on from it. Best way to deal with it is average out your loss so far, and that still leaves it looking really good!

I lost 2lb at my first weigh in, and was a bit disappointed it wasn't more tbh, but I'm now thinking that 2lb every week would be good!

Keep up the good work

Ahh thank you Jules

Had another good day today. Walked the doggies for 2.7 miles, so now on 5.5 out of my 100 I've set myself.

Food today as follows :-

Breakfast - fruit & mullerlight yoghurt
Lunch - a mixture of leftovers from yesterday's bbq, all free except for 1 syn in the cous cous. Had plenty of salad with it too to make sure it was superfree.
For dinner I made a recipe from the latest magazine which was lovely and cost 3 syns. Pudding was another ml yoghurt followed by an apple. HEb today was 2 alpen light bars.

4 syns in total today which should make up for yesterday's 16!

Looking forward to a trip to the safari park as my middle DDs birthday treat. Taking my 3 plus 3 more - can't wait Got all my picnic ideas ready & fully intend to stick with the plan.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend

Great day out with the kids at the safari park and stuck to plan. A bit more nervous about how I'm going to manage when we go away later in the week, but to be honest it will only be 3 days and I will just have to do what I can ...

Breakfast - fruit & mullerlight vanilla, alpen light bar x 1 (HEb)
Lunch (picnic) - giant cous cous, tomato, corriander, cucumber, sweet chilli sauce (1.5 syns) mixed salad, Alpen light bar x 1 (HEb), mullerlight rhubarb
Snack (instead of the ice cream that everyone else had) 1 x alpen light bar (3 syns), apple
Tea - baked quiche eggs, quark, bacon, ham, mushrooms, spring onions topped with parmesan (HEa) (yummy!) & a mixed side salad, fruit & ML yog for pudding

Total syns for day 4.5
