Thursday EE
Breakfast: muesli, Greek yog, berries. Banana
Snack: apple
Lunch: M&S mint, feta and avocado salad(no idea how many but lots of syns, I'd guess 10), prawns, fruit salad
Snack: enigma cornetto (9 syns)
Dinner: rice, sticky orange pork (1 syn). Muller yog.
Total syns: 20
Exercise: 1 hour 6 min run, 8.7k
Thoughts:
Went to borough market at lunchtime thinking I'd get something naughty but didn't in the end. So thought I'll go to M&S and get a nice salad. Spent ages looking at them all then got a totally ridiculous one, didn't even think about the avocado, think it had oil on it too, I didn't have the dressing though. Then had a cornetto but didn't have the wine I was thinking about.
Having a real dilemma about my target. Been at target for about 12 weeks now which is great. However I don't feel great, still have a biggish belly and at times feel fat. I think I want to lose another half stone but am just not motivated enough. I'm scared if I lower my target I'll never get there. I'm really enjoying being able to have slightly mad days like today and get away with it my being good the rest of the week. I have a holiday in sept and thought that would be enought motivation but it's not right now. I then don't want to lower my target as I'm off on my hols! We are having a SW ball in November so hopefully that'll give me the push I need.

really enjoyed looking at your food diary, it's so helpful to see what other people are eating, and i love your little comments too. I am about your height and also have a 10st goal. historically, on prev diets, i have always got to goal and never managed to maintain, maybe cos the goal was just too low to be sustainable.? i think our goal needs to be a weight that is achievable and maintainable, though it is always tempting to think ...just a bit lower! thanks for taking the time to do your diary, and keep up the good work!

Thoughts
Been totally off plan yet again. Had a chat to my other half and we agreed I wouldn't worry if I gained for a bit but I'm still going to group even if I go out of target. Then when I get back from hols (late sept), I'll get back to target then lower my target.
exercise - been bad recently, not run since last Tuesday and not planning to go out again til Thursday. It's been too hot this weekend and today I decided to take a break for some recovery from my shin splints and knee pain. When I go on Thursday I will do a shorter distance.
ive been back on plan today which has been ok, will try and stay in plan til Thursday now when I'm having a planned lunch off.
taster at group this week, going to do fakeaway donner, yum! Not sure how nice it will be cold though.

good day today, easy to stay on plan. Wanted wine when I was at work (bad day!) and knew I had enough syns but ended up not wanting it in the end!
weigh in tomorrow. Not really sure what I want. I should get a gain, shouldve last week too but somehow got away with it. Don't want to keep getting away with it though cos I don't want eating crap to become a habit again.

I don't like the thought of blending chicken though Lol

Yeah that's what didn't really work, I only have a hand blender which says don't blend meat. I know know it means it, it started smoking! The chicken when I tried to roll it was really sticky, impossible to roll into balls. Maybe try chicken mince, would work just as well. Although to tell the truth it was lovely how I had it so you could just use chicken breast cut up into really little bits.
