My Diary, by Coughdrops

[coughdrops]

I was down 1.5 that I'd gained the previous week, which I am delighted with... just a bit miffed that I was up the week before.

I am NEVER satisfied!

I know what you mean, kind of feels pointless when you just lose what you put on the week before - but atleast its in the right direction!!

I am trying to see the bigger picture, that any other week I'd be so happy with that loss. Better off than on, eh?!

hey coughdrops, i've been like you lately neglecting my diary a bit so gonna aim to update once a day minimum up to Christmas day including weekends. I hate writing down synning too and think that's what deters me some days... I have 5.5 lbs to lose before Christmas to get my 2 stone down and would love to do this too so that it would keep me focused over Christmas.

I have 5.5 lbs to lose before Christmas to get my 2 stone down and would love to do this too so that it would keep me focused over Christmas.

I think over the next 3 weeks we could definitely make a good dent in it.

I will be raging if I don't get a handle on it for the next few weeks, because it's a waste of all the hard work I did. I write everything down in a notebook, but putting it up here will make me think about it more. Nobody sees my notebook

I've 9 lbs to my 2 stone award, but hoping to get 7 lbs. To do that though, I need 3 this week. And just copped that I have to travel on weigh-in day on 18th. Feck. Had totally forgotten about that, so need to go to a different group that week.

My mam was in here earlier, she's at target since 3 weeks ago, and is looking amazing. So that has spurred me on a bit too.

I'll be raiding the fruit and veg in Supervalu tonight!

 

[Lauralashes]

I really need to take some time to make some soups and freeze them now that the cold weather is in.... good way to stock up on the superfree... but don't get home until 5.45pm, later some evenings and by the time dinner is eaten and kids are ready for bed I am so wrecked all I want to do is sit down.... going to make it my business to pull through it this week and just get some meals and soup made in the evening!

 

[coughdrops]

I've loads of soup in freezer, so I think I'll have that for dinner as well as lunch for next couple of days. Feel a bit sluggish, so it might give me a kick start. I add a bit of pasta to it to bulk it out a wee bit. Have a busy couple of evenings coming up anyway, so it's probably the handiest dinner I could go for anyway.

Monday 02.12.13

Breakfast

Banana, satsuma, 1 Ryvita from HEX B
Coffee with milk 1/2 syn

2 pints water mid morning.

Lunch

Veggie soup, small handful of pasta
Peppermint tea

 

[Jessieh90]

Whats peppermint tea like? Isn't it meant to be really good for you? x

 

[coughdrops]

I've been drinking it during the day for about 6 weeks now, main reason was to cut back on coffee and I don't really like normal tea. I really like the taste of it, and think it has helped with bloating, but not sure for definite. This time of year it can be hard to drink cold water, so topping up with the tea instead.
