Moo's year - 24 st start and restart

Hey - Im here, Im here. Sorry to make you worry - Im so busy atm and dont have the time to write proper replay. I was asked to apply for sous chef job and that have taken all my time. Its not 100% sure just yet as company policy is to advertise for free sopts, but most likely I will get that job. Should know this week or week after that.
And ofc this have made me eat a lot of sugar as I am emotional eater, but I do my very best to stay on plan as much as I can. Its all so exciting and very nervous same time. I know I can do it and I would be good at my job but same time Im so scared that I will do mistakes. Im so worried about my English skill that anything else is just pushed far away for now.
Getting this job will mean a lot more hours but also it will give me bigger salary and most important I can add sous chef job for my CV. Will have to work it the best I can - if I get the job first ofc

So please forgive me for not letting you guys know about myself =) I will be more chatty after this all is sorted and I know where I stand.
Food wise - I will keep doing what I do , tho I know this week I have been over my syns every day and it shows on scale too. But thats fine =) How often you get to apply for promotion, at least in my field. And I have been with company only 10 months, so everything very good but nervous same time.
Hope you all are well and smiling - I havent read any diary's so will have to catch up asap
Sending smiles and hugs =)
 
Good luck with the application Moo! You are great and such a hard worker. Only an idiot wouldn't be able to see that. Don't worry about your English - it seems to me that you are excellent at communicating with people. It doesn't matter about the tiny details! Wishing you all the best dear Moo xx

PS from the SW side of things it's so inspiring that even though you've had a few slip ups with syns, you're not giving up! You're a trooper! I on the other hand have completely given up SW until I can walk a bit better and hubby is back. Hopefully on Monday I can start again!

Will count this day as good one.
Tomorrow I will have same food only I will add cous cous to my chicken.

My consultant just sent us all a text saying that she have got many texted about how people had not-very-good-week and are afraid of scales. Just like me, and she reminded us it does not matter. There is no judgment and only love and support in group for us tomorrow. Im so glad she send it, I needed to hear it. I would not miss the class anyway but Im glad I was reminded that lose or gain, its just one week and I will be back on track in now time. My consultant is an angel , honest :)

Timmi dear, dont worry about your sw either. You need to get well first. There is whole life ahead and slimming down is not a race ( yes Im so smart right now :p ). Im sure when you feel better and your hubby is back you will find the power in you to keep going until you reach your goal. You have done so well already and nothing , nothing can change that or take it away.

Binks - Harry Potter map made ma laugh and I wish I had my books here so I could read em again :)

And thank you others for being here with me and caring. Love you all xx

Dont forget to smile :)
 
hope you get the job moo & good luck for tomorrow. It doesn't matter what the scales say you are doing amazing xx

Good morning and thank you for support. I did survive my WI and had only 1,5 lbs gain. Still have my 7 st award. 7 st 0,5 lbs :p that made me so happy.
I think sometimes I just need those bad weeks to see what will happen when I will quit and go back. I dont have any plans to go back. So Im keep going.

Have my breakfast at group, as Im really hungry this morning.
Coffee 1 syn, 2x hi fi (he), an apple.

When I get back home I will cook couscous with vegetables and chicken for lunch and will take tuna and pasta salad leftovers for tea with me. I also plan to make fish cake but will see how this will go.

On my way to class I saw people running in park and Im thinking to go for run tomorrow morning. Havent run since summer so no idea who it will go but I will try.

Smiles to all :)

1.5lbs is nothing for you moo!! You'll lose that in a morning! It's so good to have you back And don't forget to stretch after running - that's how I got my injury not stretching :)

Hi Moo,

Well done for being on plan, foods sounds good :)

We have sunshine here too but we are having a lazy day at home together today he he x
 
To be honest is sometimes so hard. Not hard but unpleasant. And sometime to be honest you need to tell long story, starting from the begging and I will tell the story today…

I know its 8th of February but my story starts in November last year. As you know Im a chef. And as you know I work in hotel. Also you may know that time from November til end of January is the time when company's have their Christmas parties and its always very busy and little annoying time for chefs. If you add a chef who is on diet … you get killing combination. But…
Im proud to say I did survive the Christmas period, not perfect but not too bad either and last month I manage to get back on plan and lose amazing 18,5 lbs.
Last week wasnt too good. Stress does its part and I had small gain. Now back to tonight. Its 8th of February and our staff have a Christmas party. At last we can celebrate and enjoy ourself. Ofc only if you are not working , like some of us - someone like me. None of us want to see any sticky toffee pudding or turkey and stuffing about a year so we having Mexican food !!!
"I'll be fine. I dont know anything about Mexican food and if I dont know it I wont want or miss it " I thought. How wrong was I ?
All the nice spice full of cheese and nachos and tortillas and chillies and re-fried beans … are hard to resist. And lets not start with all the cakes …
But I resisted.

Until I give in. " Just a bite for tasting. I have syns. "
Another
Another
Another

And so it started, so now Im honest. I did eat so much that I think I had syns for all week. And another thing to confess - I had an Mexican food and I like it !!

So, what will I do next.
I will keep doing food plan from magazine. They are mostly syn free days and I will keep my syns as minimum as I can. I have 3 weeks to go and I will do best I can. This is the last Christmas party before November when it all starts again and there is no reason for me to give up. Only to keep going :)

It was great day tho. I had good time at work, I enjoyed myself and I cooked great food. Not going to feel sorry or guilty. Bloody hell - food was amazing and it is Christmas after all - right ? :D

Smiles to all. Tomorrow is the new day and Im ready for it.
