Summer's weight loss journey - one day at a time

[Tetris]

S+s chicken is my fave! Syns arent too awful for it! Just watch not overdoing free food on syn free day, great to cut out the 300cal of syns but having 3 extra yoghurts to fill the need does the same sorta damage really. You know all that though since you're so calorie savvy! good luck with WI; I'm sure what you are burning will help balance out the extra syns a bit too x

 

[Summer86]

So +2lbs this week. Completely deserved after my awful food week but am feeling very PMTish so wondering if star week looms.

Had a couple of majorly good burn work outs this week but that obviously wasn't enough to counteract my food choices.

Food today-red

B-2 honey monster stix (hxb1)

L-bannana, apple, satsuma, mullerlight, velvet crunch (4 syns)

S-mini malteaser bunny (3 syns)

D-sw burger in wholemeal roll (hxb2) with cheese (hxa1) with salad and carrot 'chips' mustard and bbq sauce (2 syns)

S-hot choc with milk (hxa2 and 2 syns) choc biscuit (4 syns)

15 syns

Today has been such a write off. Am so angry at myself because I had everything planned food wise and a class at the gym. Star week has started and I feel horrific. Had forgotten how dreadful proper periods are after being on the pill since 2009 with only a small break. Decided to come off it a month ago to try to get my own cycle back before trying for a baby. Its awful. Have had cramps, nausea, upset stomach, headache-the works. Reminds me of how miserable I was for 10 years before I went on the pill. Anyway I sought comfort in chocolate, a bag of crisps and a couple of biscuits.

Hoping I feel a bit better tomorrow and get my appetite for proper food back instead of grazing on junk.

 

[Summer86]

So yesterday was almost as bad as friday, had 3 on plan meals but syns were out of the window. Seriously chocolate crispy cakes, thorntons and celebrations all on the ward, too much temptation!
Weighed in this morning and am up another lb from weds so really got to stay on plan now.

Todays diary looks like this

B- honey monster stix (2 for hxb)
Milky coffee (hxa)

S - bannana and grapes

L-innocent noodle pot (3 syns) greek mullerlight (0.5 syn) apple and satsuma

D-bacon and mushroom pasta with lots of superfree veg

S-hot choc (2 syns) and kit kat (5.5 syns)

 

[Summer86]

Managed to sprain my ankle at body combat yesterday and am in agony this morning, think its stiffened up overnight. So going with yesterday's weight which shows 2lb off, think the 2lb gain last week was water retention from star week.

Meals all planned for the week and food shopping being delivered today so no reason not to stay firmly on plan. Maybe no body magic yet though!!
Really want to see those numbers moving in the right direction.

Heres a pic of my injury

 

[Summer86]

Sorry your period has been so rough- I hope the pill makes mine easier, just starting (had some awful pill experiemces before because of my pcos but so far so good!)

How exciting that you are looking to try for a baby !!
That gain def sounds like water retention, I always get that during *week. Ankle looks so painful!! How.is it now? X

 

[Summer86]

Night shift tomorrow

 

[Summer86]

Uh oh, had a bad weekend. Fri had a few too manysyns because of night shift and coffee shop date with friends, around 25 I think.
Sat off plan completely.
Sun on plan meals but around 35 syns worth of chocolate and ice cream

Still not able to get to the gym so can't even have a couple of decent work outs to try to counteract it.
WI weds morning then 5 days off plan due to Easter, London trip and an early birthday party for hubby. No doubt will end up right back where I was in January at 11st 9.

This is all my own doing and lack of will power.

 

[Summer86]

2lbs off this week, down to 11st 3lb. Not sure how but im not complaining! 5 of the next 7 days will be off plan so not going to be posting much. Next WI will also be a couple of days before star week is due.

 

[Summer86]

3lbs on this week. Expected after a whole off plan week and pending star week.
Back on it now, nothing should be too detremental to a loss this week although tomorrow will likely involve too many syns as its hubbys birthday.

Todays foods

B-honey monster stix x2 (hxb) and a bannana

S-pops (4 syns)

L-carrot and corriander soup. Apple, satsuma, aldi greek yogurt.

S-5 slim fruits (1/2 syn)

D-chicken salad (2 syns for dressing/marinade) with sweet potato wedges.

Milky coffee (hxa) 5 syns worth of easter egg.

11.5 syns

 

[Summer86]

2.5lbs off this week. Feel as if I'm really struggling to stick with the plan. A few people I follow on IG have recently switched from SW to weight watchers to kick start losses but I've done it in the past and It didn't work for me. Just keep plodding on I guess.

 

[Crafty Girl]

Well done with loss this week x
