Mrs Potters Food Diary

25th September 2011

Can anyone tell me how on earth i take down my maintainer sticker? "But why?" i hear you ask. Because...Today i get back ON IT!!!

I have had a couple of days of delicious, very non SW foods so will be extremely angelic-like over the next 5 days but i have also made the decision to go for a mini 3 pound goal. Then i will reasses and see how the breasticles are holding up.

I cant seem to re find my maintaining happiness so i really want to do this. I am off to the gym shortly to work my ass off. My * is due any day so i need to make the most of it lol! Once it arrives i dont even want to get up for work let alone go to the gym hee hee!

Here i go again!

P.S No one is 100% good all the time. So, just out of interest, anyone know what SW officially advise regarding if you are maintaining and you have an event and you know that there is no way you are going to keep with in your 105 syns that week? Sometimes you just want to forget about counting syns and enjoy yourself like everyone else without beating yourself up about it. Since i am not an offical member it would be good to know.

I think that would be a "flexi day". Before the day in question you decide how many syms you need for the day, it can be as many as you want - doesn't matter. But what's important is once you've decided on a number, you mustn't go over it. The theory is that while you may not necessarily lose or maintain by doing a flexi day, a) you don't have a complete "night off" of eating everything in sight and going totally ott and b) psychologically you have stuck to the plan so no need to feel guilty or anything as you've stayed in control of your diet.

The gym has exhausted me, but in a good way! Did one hour body combat and then skipped cool down and headed for the treadmill. Did 5k in 31 min 04 seconds. Considering i haven't been running in a while thats pretty good for me. I think in June last year i ran a 5k race at about the same time.

I find the treadmill boring, always have but i also sometimes struggle to get my ass outside for a run so i think i am going to set myself another mini goal to run 5k in 25 minutes. This way i am actually shortening my time on it rather than increasing the distance and spending more time on it, which gets a bit dull!!

Todays eats will be:
Green Day

Just had brunch: 2 egg omlette with 2x "fried" bread (Few pumps of fry light. HEB 1&2) Half a pot of coffee (1 syn for milk)

D: Mac n cheese (HEA 1&2) with salad
