Nearly there!

[CountryCottage]

Hi
I thought I would start a food diary to help me to get to target.
I have been a yo-yo dieter for years but never actually reached target. I have it in my head that if I actually got to goal, I would be so happy that I would not put the weight back on again. This is what Ive been telling myself and Im gonna stick with this belief!!

Today:

Had a lie in so missed breakfast

Lunch: smoked mackerel salad, small baked potato, philli light

Dinner: cowboy pie (from october magazine) half tin of mushy peas

snack: highlights hot chocolate drink, 3 chocolate biscuits (ooops). handful of mixed nuts, 1 fig

2 hours housework and 1 hour gardening

Saturday:

Breakfast: Weetabix crunchy bran and 6 prunes

Lunch: smoked mackerel salad, baked potato and a skinny cow lolly

Dinner: went to mother-in-laws 66th birthday party, where there was a beautiful huge buffet laid out. After 3 glasses of wine I gave in! I wont list everything but needless to say, it was not a good day eating wise, although had a lovely evening with the family.

Fresh day tomorrow, will be extra good, fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!!

Sunday 2nd December

Had a fab lie-in until 11am so missed breakfast.

Lunch at (4pm): Cowboy pie and half a tin of mushy peas. Highlights hot choc drink

Its a quarter past 7 as I am writing this and i am full so hopefully nothing else to eat today. My thinking is that this will make up partially for yesterday evening and I will still be on track overall.

I have lost my weight so far by following slimming world from magazines and on-line but I have decided to join a group this week to help me get to goal.

Will let you know how I get on.

Saturday 22nd dec

Breakfast: crunchy bran, then went on my usual 5k run in the pouring rain, came back like a drowned rat! Seemed more difficult than normal today probably due to the weather i expect. Ive only just started running but read in the jan/feb SW mag about a lady who started running and could only do 30 seconds before she was out of breath, but she perservered and after 6 months she was able to run a half marathon! inspirational.

Lunch: 2 bacon, quorn sausage, 2 eggs, mushrooms, grilled tomatoes and baked beans....whew! full up now

OMG ive been sooo off plan for 2 weeks and have gained 3.5 pounds according to my class scales. I keep re-starting every morning and sometimes i make it through until really late at night. Then, the naughty me kicks in and forces biscuits or chocolate down!!
My running is coming on amazingly though, I'm really enjoying it and even go out in the dark with a flashlight. Its a good job ive been doing that as I dread to think how much i would have gained otherwise.
Up to 10k now per run.

so, today i have stuck to the plan 100% and I am not going to spoil it now!!

Breakfast : banana, apple, shape yogurt

Lunch: salad, tin of sardines in tomato sauce, grapes, walkers worcester sauce french fries

Tea: turkey chasseur and mushy peas. half a curly wurly
