So I've been struggling for a while now.
I weigh in on Wednesdays. I'm on plan on Wednesday and Thursday. I don't work Fridays. Things start to slip, an extra Alpen Light here, an extra fun-sized Crunchie there.
Then I seem to think that I can sneak in treats all over the place and that, because "it's the weekend" I've got time to pull it back before WI on Wednesday. I don't work Mondays either. Guess how well I eat.
Then Tuesday I think "well, better get back on plan for WI" and have a 100% day.
This is the reason I've only lost 13.5lbs in 22 weeks. I keep farting around and not doing the plan 100% for a full week. It's almost as if I want my stone award so badly I sabotage myself somehow.
I don't know. *sigh*
What I do know is that I can't afford (time or money) to keep on this way. So I'm going to hold myself accountable in this diary from now on. I'm going to record my food and feelings, and attempt to find out why I make life hard for myself
I'll be doing a mixture of EE/Red, depending on what I've got planned. I always do Red on WI day though
So I'll start with today. Today was Extra Easy.
Breakfast: 28g Shredded Wheat (HEB), skimmed milk (from HEA - rest used in tea)
Snack: Alpen Light (3 Syns), Activia FF yog (Free)
Lunch: Boots Shapers Sushi (2.5 Syns), carrot sticks (Superfree), Activia FF yog (Free), Pepsi Max (Free)
Snack: Alpen Light (3 Syns), Activia FF yog (Free)
Dinner: Gammon steak (Free), mash made with Quark (Free), green beans (Superfree)
Total Syns: 8.5
I'm now stuffed because I've eaten so much mash
I've arranged with my DH to go to the gym tomorrow morning, so I'll have to make sure I get lunches etc together tonight.
Hoorah for planning
