Sunshine's Trip To Pre Baby Weight (start Thurs 13th oct, p 91)

Hi hun.... this is my 3rd time going back to have them redone. They just won't stay up..... kept ending up around my knee with the burn exposed!...even in town yesterday..I was walking to collect my sisters bridesmaid dresses, the whole thing fell down and I had to redress my leg myself in the street and then litterally hold it up! so back again today....awww thanks for remembering. I have to go get ready to see the nurse but I'll def be back later to catch up. So glad you've moved your diary over hun.

See you later xxx
 
28 DAYS TILL BRIDESMAID DRESS FINAL FITTING -on my fridge door to mark off the days of being in track.

Foodie list:

B - CD porridge with strawbs and banana
L - CD porridge " " "
D- Wholegrain pasta, chilli veg
S - Yogurt, fruit
Water

Hummmmm no protein..... I'll see what I can do x
 
Afternoon check:

Breakfast and lunch done and I really enjoyed both. Looking forward to dinner later. I'm feeling focused again and i feel like it's been a long time since i could say that.

I must say that looking in the mirror today I really felt yuck. I haven't dared weigh myself for fear of being upset. This is all due to the stress of the last few weeks but because of protecting my leg I haven't been getting deep sleeps so I've been exhausted. I have big dark circles under my eyes, i feel puffed out, skin lost its radience and achy all over. ONLY I CAN CHANGE THIS and I am changing it as of today :) I am staying on plan and am going to enjoy it instead of looking it as a battle. I am drinking my water as it makes me feel more energised when I do. I am back to focusing on other things like my band, teaching, friends etc rather than just food :) Small goals- first one the 28 days and I will then use my sisters wedding the month after as goal 2. No use in looking back as we can only change what we do NOW. I can't continue the way I've been going or I'd be back at square one- a place I never want to be again. So i lost my way a bit.........now I know where I'm going.

Back later to keep check of my foodie list x
 
Ooh, you're back all inspired and raring to go. That post made me feel more positive! It's amazing how much water helps isn't it (she says glugging away).

The not getting much sleep is a real pain in the backside, so I hope you manage to get back to normal soon. You look all radiant in that pic! Still enjoying life as a brunette?

Despite my hair being nearer blonde than dark brown (it's a kind of mousey nothing colour lol) I always feel more confident and comfortable with it dark.
 
Awwwwwww my burns are healing...hurray :) and I've been 100% and managed to get the water down today. It feels really good and i can't wait to tick off day 28 of 28 on my chart xxx

Dinner was so yum..... that's the thing I do love cd when I'm on track x
 
Hey SS, long time no post from me. Hope you are feeling better both physically and emotionally. Your leg sounds really painful, ouchy, hope it is on the mend.
glad that you are enjoying 1000 better. I did exactly the same as you hun, dropped down to 810 to shift the last of the weight but it seriously drained my energy and i felt hungry and ratty again. You are so not alone. I think the body gets to a point when it needs more than being on the 810 plan. My body definately told me i needed more substance so as of today i upped it to 1000 again.
I'm off on my hols next week and i have decided to go off plan, doesn't mean i am going to blow it, but i intend to eat really healthily and get as much exercise as possible.
Hope the next few days goes as smoothly as possible for you.
 
Thanks hun....... have a brilliant trip you lucky thing. Just keep those pics in mind as a reminder of how well you've done xxx
 
Yippeeeeeeee day 28 of 28 (working backwards :) )completed and 100%. I can now mark it off happily.

Out a lot of tomorrow with one of my best friends and we always go for dinner but i'll be on track. not jumping off cd now that i'm finally back on :)

nite nite diary x
 
Glad to hear your burns are healing, they can be tricky to heal - even more so when you get the wrong advice.

You sound really bouncy and full of energy which is great, and I hope you have a good day today - a day with a best friend is always a great day!
 
Have a lovely day with your friend. Just what you need I'm sure. Your burns would also be happier with the extra nutrition, really.

Ps. You've not been a moping cow at all. You've had some really stressful times. If you were moping, I'd tell you :)
 
Have a fab day Sunshine, it's great to see you back to your sunny self! I am taking a leaf from your book and going for a run of 28 days 'normal' so today can be day one... like you, have several challenges in the day, lunch with friends, work event, get together with different friends tonight (buffet food & lots of drink). So... coffee and salad for lunch, and as little as poss at the buffet and am bringing my own fizzy water and fruit juice for tonight, will be the driver so can get away with not drinking. A plan!

Enjoy your weekend Sunshine!

Morning Girlies,

Thanks Wales and Laura. Yeah I think it's boosted me knowing I need to get myself together for her today. As the burns have dried now I'm having a shower today which will be bliss I tell ya!!! All this washing and then washing hair seperatly does my head in :) I should be able to wear my leggings and skirt.... hoping anyway but moping about in larger loose clothes this last week is depressing..... want to get back t me.

You're right Laura about the burn healing. Luckily I was obsessive about keeping it clean and protected before I saw the doc which should pay off... the nurses were pleased with what I'd done. ...and thanks for telling me I'm not a moany cow. :) :) :)

...................

So dinner out this afternoon, I'll probably stick to a pasta, spinage , mushroom meal..... or something simple slike chicken. I am NOT going off track. NO WAY...I'll keep my 28 days list in mind all day and glug water instead of starters etc. We normally shop loads so may take advantage and see if i can find bridesmaid ivory shoes. Can't be trying much on... haven't shopped in a while.

Then cosy night in, in ,my tidy home ....yay..... watching x factor.... I love it... hillarious.

Better go get sorted.

Back later xxx

Foodie:
CD porridge, banana
Dinner out ?.... not sure yet but i'll choose well
Toast, egg (maybe or more fruit)
CD porridge

Have a fun night hun. Write out 28, 27, 26, 25 etc on a page (big writing) and put it on the fridge door or where you can see it lots...... I swear this is really helping me because I can picture myself marking off the days being 100%.

Cool, lets do this........ and in 28 days time we'll be happy bunnies.

Have a lovely day xxx
 
Glad to hear your healing honey. Im with you on the X Factor thing absolutely hooked!! Have a great day shopping and im sure you can find a healthy option for dinner honey restaurants/pubs are quite good at healthy options these days gladly everybody seems more health conscious xxxx
 
You are allowed to have down days Sunshine. Sometimes I get the impression that you put a lot of pressure on yourself to be happy. I stopped doing that because it puts me into a mode where I am denying my own feelings and that doesn't work for me. By the same token, denying cravings never worked either. I do much better when I can say to myself 'yeah sure great, I'd love to eat half a tub of non fat yoghurt with a vanilla shake (seriously I can binge on the stuff) and it's okay to feel like that, but I don't need to eat it right now. It has made me a lot more peaceful.
 
You're right Laura , I agree with you. However I can have a down day and still be a positive person naturally if you see what i mean. You should never bottle emotions up...it takes more energy not letting how you really feel out. I'm not putting this very well..... One thing i learnt from a grievance councellor when i lost my Mum was that if you want to cry, then cry , if you want to be angry, be angry etc..... as it's exhausting if we don't carry out the emotions we have inside.... On the other side a very good friend of my family told me that to get yourself out of a bad situation...to fake it!!!! Seriously.... and it works... believe in what you want to be, how you want to feel and eventually you will feel how you want to for real :)

I just believe in making the most of life and when I can't do that It litterally drives me up the wall. I do see your point tho and I'll def take it on board.. Looking forward to flaking tonight already :)

And thanks Julie.... yeah X factor is fab.....think I might have to record Strictly come dancing so i have that to watch too...think that starts tonight!! have a good one hun xxxx hope you're not too exhausted x
 
Completely agree with you on all of that.

Even when I was down with my weight etc, I was still relatively happy with life. Forums are a hard way to explain feelings.

Btw, what date is your fitting? The wedding I'm going to is on October 3rd so I have a 4 week count down too.

I had a fab day... didn't spend much thanks god....only bought leggings (you can never have too many:) ) and a gorgeous sheep keyring lol and dinner. Feels good to be home safe and sound......... I managed to just buy magazines, water and fruit (1000) and instead of coming home and eating off plan or worse buying rubbish off plan, I quickly made some cd porridge and threw the fruit in..... phew!!!!!! Stayed on plan for dinner out too. Gonna glug the water now and read my mags :)

I've completly gone off the choc and mint choc shakes... i have them as muffins or custard but they taste strange to me! Ordering porridge and cranbery bars for the next 2 weeks on Tuesday. I do enjoy those bars.

Gosh it's hard to break habbits isn't it!!!!! I so could have easily bought the usual naughty food just before but at least i decided I wasn't going down that route again and pictured my 28 days list... it's working so far.
