Pammyd's Daily Diary

[pammyd]

I've been on SW now for quite a while and keep threatening to start a diary, well following on from the "fishy week" post I decided to have my own fishy week, hopefully to kick start, (well even start) my loss, and then to continue with a diary so that if it all goes wrong you/I/we have something to check on, anyway, here goes:

Day 1 - Red day
HE A - S.S Milk for tea/coffee

Breakfast - 57g Wholemeal bread (HEX B)with 2 x scrambled eggs.

Lunch - Mussels (shopping day so ran out of salad to go with). 1 x Activia FF yogurt, 1 x satsuma (looked very lonely sat in fruit bowl all on its lonesome)

Dinner - New potatoes (will weigh 198gms I think HEX B), baked mackerel, carrotts, green beans & cauliflower

No snacks

You have to syn the cous cous cake too Hun. As its been used other than it "natural" intention ie in a salad, it needs to be synned. Its not a huge amount though so dont panic.
Also, you are not eating nearly enough free foods. Have a look at my food diary on here and you will see the difference and I have a gastric band fitted! On an EE day, you really do need to have the fruits and veg to boost the weight loss.
It can be done!

I'm with Mrs V on getting some more super free foods in there, I tend to make dishes like chilli and spag bol so I can pack them with tons of veggies. Also, you could try upping your intake of super speed foods, things like strawberries, raspberries, melon, baked beans and mushy peas. My losses were greater when I started eating lots of super free and super speed foods.

Also, have you tried scan bran? It's done really well for my losses so far and keeps me nice and full all day.

Good luck with everything!

I didn't realise peas and baked beans were superfree and superspeed... thats good news then

 

[paperclip]

I echo the other comments about making sure you're eating lots of superfree and speed foods every day! I know you're doing fishy week this week, but a few of us on here used to do the speed food challenge - fit in 5 speed foods a day into your diet!

Definitely worth it!

Hi Pammyd,

Same as the others said really. Try and up your level of speed and super free foods to maximise weight loss. Also get lots of variety in there. Also, do you do any exercise?

I am near Mansfield too!

 

[pammyd]

thanks for input, deffo gonna try to increase s & ss foods, I feel as though I eat loads as it is but hey, looks like I need to tuck in more lol! can't wait for this weeks WI, how close Libra77?

 

[libra77]

Hi Pammy,

I would try and eat at least 5 good size portions of ss food per day. Don't have to be eaten on their own but mixed as ingredients of your meal. I have got into the habit of listing my ss food on my food diary, this helps me to see how much of it I have really eaten. Good luck with everything x

 

[pammyd]

Thanks Libra and everyone for the advice, its all been taken on board, am sticking with the fishy week till Thursday then will really try with the ss foods as well, I'm tending towards red days whilst being fishy but am prefering green with the ss (baked beans/mushy peas etc.). fingers crossed for Thursday :cross:

Day 6 - Red Day

Breakfast - 3 x ww bread (He B), mackerel in tom sauce (same as yesterday), nectarine

Lunch - salmon quiche (again) followed by Activia yogurt, melon

Dinner - Trout Fillet, wholegrain pasta 35g (HE B) with tomato based sauce, apple, satsuma.

today is almost identical to yesterday to empty my fridge and use up all the quiches etc. I'd made, its also college night so need something quick and filling.

Syns - walkers baked - 5
wine - 6
total = 11syns

Day 7 - Red

Breakfast - mackerel in tom sauce (getting to be a theme here int there?), 6 x ryvita wholemeal crispbreads (He B)

Lunch - Salmon Quiche - yet again, finished it now though, Activia Yogurt

This brings my fishy week to a close, its actually been really easy to follow and I will certainly be including more fish in my diet, perhaps not as much as this week, I am starting to get gills I'm sure xxx
