Lou's Diary - onwards and inwards!

[law3a3m]

Hi hun!

Thought I'd come say hello as it's a bit rubbish when you feel like you're talking to yourself on here!
What's slim and save? Having done SW for a year and nearly bankrupted myself buying so much fruit and veg the word 'save' sounds ace! Ha ha.
Sounds like you have some good meals planned, I may end up robbing some ideas

Hi Amy - thanks for popping by, a friend - yay!! Have you got a diary? I'll come say hello. I've just updated my ticker (normally use iphone so didn't realise I had slim and save still). I'm now doing SW again, but slim and save is basically a very low kcal diet where you have 3 shakes and then a protein evening meal, it worked brilliantly last year when I was stuck in a rut, I'd lost 5 stone with sw, messed about a bit, stopped losing so did 3 weeks of S&S and lost over 1.5 stone..... however..... I then met my boyfriend, started eating again and put on some (not all) of the weight I lost. I'd honestly stick to slimming world if I was you, you look like you are doing brilliantly and it's suitable long term, I only really tried S&S as I had hit a plateau.

B: fruit and yogurt
S: small hifi bar (1/2b)

wow 5 stone thats amazing!! Go you!
Generally I enjoy SW, I find it fits in quite well with working shifts and things like that so I like it. I just feel a bit like I'm messing about with losing and gaining the same half stone all year! Need to knuckle down for last 4 weeks before holiday and wedding dress shopping in April! I know it works I just need to concentrate.
I have a diary - you commented earlier which led me to yours! It's fresh start diary.
Nice to have a minis pal! xx

[Louise24]

Yay lost 4lb! Pleased with that.

Being pay lady was soooooo stressful, hopefully better next week though.

Didnt get home until 925pm... Not sure I can do that every week, especially as I didn't eat until I got home. Tired and knackered now but committed to losing 2lb next week.

Ooh Krispy kremes....I love the strawberry and cream one! And the fudgey one...there's a drive thru Krispy Kreme not far from our house- bad!!

 

[Louise24]

Thankfully there's not a Krispy Kreme too close by here, drive thru sounds lethal.

Talking of lethal.... Oh man... What a day!!! Went to Liverpool with OH for day, was brilliant and had a fab time but... He asked if we could go to gourmet burger kitchen as never been before... As we're trying to save money I agreed as found a voucher for 2 burgers for £10.

So... I had a burger and a third of a portion of sweet potato fries. I honestly would have gone for a salad as don't like burgers much but would have cost £20 not £10. In the end I ate a 1/4 of bun and 2/3s of burger (was handing over food to OH to eat).

Nothing else then until I ate over half a mcflurry!!

Have just got home and had boiled green beans and a poached egg for tea, but fear its too little to late.

No syns for the rest of the week and red days only... Need to claw this back!

Sunday - red day (Liverpool blow out)
B: 2 eggs and toast (1b)
L: approx 1/2 a burger and 1/2 portion of sweet potato fries (20 syns)
S: 2/3 mcfurry (12 syns)
D: green beans and poached egg

Plan for tomorrow...

Monday - red day
B: magic porridge (b)
L: ham salad
D: chicken kebabs

Syns: none (hopefully)
