Hello everyone

I joined weightwatchers in May 2011 and I started off well but have been up and down for the last couple of months. Today has completely finished me off with a 4lb shameful gain over the last two weeks. :( I am SO annoyed with myself. :mad:

So here i go, my diary starts here...

I'm off to work for a few hours and I am going to come up with a plan of attack! I will update my diary again later
xx

thanks for the welcome Michillinwoman! Sounds like we're in a similar place...
love this :girlpower:and well done on your weightloss to date!

Right...time for an update...

i've just been to the supermarket and stocked up on lots of fresh stuff and ingredients for:

chicken stir fry
homemade 0pp veg soup
sausage (WW) and apple toad in the hole
couscous and veg
chicken and chorizo stew

So i'm all set and well within my points so far today. I've just got to keep the snacking monster at bay until I go to bed :hide:

Snacking in the evenings is my downfall. I don't know what happens but it's like someone takes over my brain and I have the inability to say NO to myself. Last week I found myself eating crumpets that i'd cooked from frozen, they were burnt on the outside and cold in the middle (don't ask me how i managed that!) I was eating them and I was thinking to myself i'm not even enjoying this but I still ate them :(

I also like to eat until the 'full' point, and feel disappointed if a meal doesn't fill me up completely. I've got a few issues to work out :cry::rolleyes:

Anyhoo....Day 1 of restart has gone well xx

hi Goose wow you've done so well! :talk017:

It's strange isn't it, once the willpower goes it's hard to resist and keep on track. Thanks for dropping by, i hope we can spur each other on!

Today has been a good day, i've kept within my daily points and i've had a healthy dinner with lots of veg. I don't have any points left for the day now and have a couple of hours before bedtime, my 'danger' time! I've got some fruit lined up if i can't resist.

Hope everyone is having a good day x
 
Oh my danger time is when the baby is having a nap, its like what do i do now so i just come on here to distract Myself. Well done on yesterday and good luck for the week. Keep us posted x x

ahh right, similar to me then! My OH works evenings so i'm usually on my own, which i don't mind but sometimes boredom creeps in! How old is your baby?

Welcome and good luck! x

thanks Kimboowee, love your name :D

A good day today so far....75 minute workout in the gym, i should have legs of steel after that! How many activity points do you think that would be? I was on the crosstrainer, treadmill and bike?

I've just made the WW Chicken & Chorizo stew recipe....it was lovely and my OH liked it too so that's a good result! :bliss:
 
She is 2 on Nov 1st not really a baby but still is to me :) yeah its the sitting at home gets me too but today has been the first day in nearly 8 wks ive struggled to keep out of the presses but have kept away so far . Ill go for a walk after dinner and then sure its x factor time so hopefully that keeps me on the straight nd narrow lol

Hi Carrie thanks for stopping by. That's exactly what i'm like! It's bizarre isn't it....and very hard to control! I hope things are going well for you at the moment x

Well I suggested to Mr Pickles this morning that we do a 10k run in May 2012! I'm going to have a little think about it before committing, but it would give me a greater focus...we'll see. I volunteer for an animal rescue centre and would love to raise some money for them too....

I managed to keep the snacking monster more or less at bay last night, I ended up using 5 weeklies yesterday. I'm going to try and stick to my dailies today.

Have a good day everyone x
