Final food diary for 03.01.11

I couldn`t be bothered to get up early enough to eat breakfast before going to work this morning (I`ve got into a lazy cycle of falling out of bed and into work as not had to get kids to school lol). I was run off my feet at work, Working an extra hour as we were short staffed and as a consequence I was STARVING by the time I got home. I went on a total carb fest once I got home As I was really hungry coupled with the fact that I need to eat the rest of my GF food before starting my diet on Thurs am.

Soooo.... Todays menu has been as follows -

"Brunch" which was about 2.30pm -

4(!!) slices of Genius GF Bread
1 tin of Tesco Baked Beans
Scraping of Marg
1 GF MP (last one! )
Half an Omelette with Bacon & Mushrooms that needed using up
All washed down with a Coffee with Milk & Sugar, A pint of weak squash and 8 Starburst sweets

For tea, I had a salmon fillet :heartpump: baked in the oven without anything added and about 3/4 of a bag of Salad and quarter of a tub of Light Choices Plain Cottage Cheese

This all came to 1,618 cals & 56 Fat but I also earned an extra 1924 cals through "exercise". I did four hours at work, Rushed off my feet, Often lifting and bending so couldn`t think what else to put it under on myfitnesspal other than "aerobics".

Drinks wise, I have also had -

1 Plastic cup of water whilst at work
Another pint of weak squash
1L bottle of water
2 mugs of green tea with mint
And I`m halfway through a second 1L bottle of water

Xx

I have been looking for another one because my old one is good but she does not like doing out of school hours .
The other seems to be more willing too and she emailed me her prices on 21 shakes was about 36 a week , if bars its more .

[SacredSilence]

Sorry! Have neglected my diary already lol

I post on here, the minis WLS forum and also on a group I set up on Facebook and with 2 jobs and 4 kids I sometimes struggle to keep up lol

Shanny, My name is Lisa but friends call me LiSe How are you feeling now? Put the cake behind you and move on Xxx

MsJMC, I have come to realise that my poor eating probably started just before I had my eldest daughter. My dad died suddenly and my "brother" caused a lot of problems within the family and as I was pregnant and in and out of the hospital I just couldn`t cope really and the depression set in. I nearly lost her a few times (before birth), Then spent most of her first years in and out of hospital where I didn`t leave her, So ate what I could, When I could. We all know that what you can buy in the hospital is a bit of a joke considering it`s a hospital LOL so I lived off things like lucozade, chocolate, crisps etc etc etc

This coupled with depression, PCOS and Underactive Thyroid meant that my weight escalated But all of that is behind me now and I have moved on and I will NEVER get back to those times whatever life throws at me. I know this because since then I have had my second daughter where again, I was in and out of hospital, I had major abdominal surgery whilst 16 weeks pregnant with her as I had a ruptured appendix and they also found a tumour. I then went into prem labour at 32 weeks etc etc etc and I still managed not to go back to poor eating.

Don`t get me wrong, I am no saint and can eat as much crap as the next person LOL But I do it in moderation now I think. I never want to go back to where I was before.

I am healthier now, Can do more with my children and won`t be "the fat mum" for my youngest who has just started school This is what keeps me going

Re the bread, I still had quarter of a loaf to go lol So today, I stood in the back garden (in my pjs cos I have the day off as my little one goes back tomorrow and I had no1 to watch her) and threw it to the birds I hope they get some before the dog hoovers it up lmfao

Why are you unable to do CDC? I suddenly realised that I needed a dr letter last time I did it so had a bit of a panic as I don`t have time to go see my dr, I rarely have time to think lol but my CDC said as I`m technically JUST within 6 months, I can continue as I was before which is a relief!

Sorry for the novel!!! Off now to update my food diary for yesterday, I was a bit naughty haha

Xxx

Food Diary 04.01.11

I`m being lazy and cut and pasting from WLS site lol

I downed 1L of water whilst at work then after went to Starbucks with a friend. OMC!! I cannot believe how many cals and fat there is in what I had (thats if myfitnesspal is right). I had 1 gluten free belgian chocolate brownie with a skinny latté ( @skinny with choc cake!) and just those came to 418 cals and 16 fat Good job they were my last as a treat with my friend before starting my diet properly Thursday am!

Whilst on my work break, I had a packet of Walkers Baked Cheese & Onions Crisps as I was that I can eat them and 1 pack of "Exotic Fruit Salad" and 1 pack of "Melon Medley" (pre-packed fruit) and a 250ml bottle of Cloudy Cox`s Apple Juice. Again, When I charted what I`d eaten, I was at the amount of sugar that was in the fruit :cry:

I did no better when I got home I had 3 packs of Mini Haribo & 1 Roses Chocolate I think I`m hormonal at the mo and craving sweet stuff.

For tea, I am had some plain oven baked Cod with some green salad and some Cottage Cheese.

Drinks wise so far, I have had -

3Ls of water
1 Skinny Latté
3 mugs of Green Tea with Mint
Half a mug of Green Tea with Mint
250ml bottle of Apple Juice

Total cals for the day were 1,316 and 21 Fat but I earned 1924 extra calories from exercise (work).

I have weighed myself on the Wii Fit this morning and it says I`ve lost 3lbs in the last 3 days!!

Xxx

 

[*Shanny*]

Hi Lise how did the meet go with your CDC go this evening??... my day has been shameful....xx
speak soon x

 

[SacredSilence]

Thanks for asking hun, It was great but also awful :cry: I posted in the main section about it

My CDC is such a lovely lady, And it was great catching up with her But I was gutted that her scales weighed me as TWELVE!! Stone :cry::cry::cry: I was quite shocked as the hospital weighed me as 11st 11lbs and my Wii Fit yesterday morning weighed me as 11st 10lbs

I had a bit of a pity party then got over it lol

I will go from her weight and have readjusted my ticker and deets as I am losing my weight with her. But I`m still gutted

I`m halfway through day one and it`s going well so far I tried the Maple & Pecan Porridge this am and it was quite nice! I`m pleased that they now have a GF porridge that I can eat Had a Choc Mint Shake for "lunch" this afternoon after work and it was as lush as I remembered LOL

I have bought some cod and salad for my tea tonight but am a bit argh as I can`t find all the bits to my scales to weigh it properly :sigh:

I`m 2L of water, 2 mugs of Green Tea with Mint and 1 plastic cup of water from work down aswell as 15fl with my porridge shake, So am doing well on the fluids front as I`ll down at least 1L more of water and a couple more brews

Off to work again in a bit, I sooooo cba lol But I`m going to jump on the scales there (Drs scales) as they`ve always been consistent even when I wasn`t dieting and I`m curious to see what weight they give me after last nights WI (I know, I know, I shouldn`t scale hope but I haaaaaaaave to lol)

I hope you`ve had a better day today hun *hugs*

Xxxxx

Hola

Apparently, If you go back within 6 months, You don`t have to go get a Drs sig etc again as long as nothing has changed (illnesses etc). How friendly are you with your CDC? Would she let you restart if you sign the declaration?

Yesterday was my first day and went really well I didn`t have a cheat If you mean my other post, That was when I was "healthy eating" before starting and I snaffled some Haribo sweets

I forgot to put my food diary for yesterday up on here cos I`m rubbish LOL

I`ll do it now

Day 2 is also going well I`m waiting to fall spectacularly for it being so easy so far :sigh: lol

I hope you`re well too

Xxxx

Day 1 of my diet done & dusted!!

I actually posted this on the main section of the board, Forgot to put it here too *cuts & pastes*

Day 1 of my diet done & dusted!!

So I am coming to the end of day 1 and hoping not to jinx myself, Apart from it sounding like theres a party going on in my tum, It`s been a doddle!!

I tried the Maple & Pecan Porridge for breakfast and it was quite nice I`m so glad they finally have a GF porridge! I`m looking forward to brekkie tomorrow

For "lunch" this afternoon I had a Choc Mint shake which was absolutely lush ♥

For tea, I attempted to make the Banana Custard but I had too much water I think. It was still nice As I`m doing 810 plan, I also had some Tuna is Spring Water, Low Fat Cottage Cheese and a teeny amount of salad leaves.

I have logged everything on myfitnesspal and it says I`ve consumed 594 cals, 50 carbs 12 fat and 73 protein.

Liguid wise, I had 4L of water, 10fl oz with my Lunchtime shake, 5fl oz with my porridge, 5fl oz with my teatime shake, 4 mugs of Green Tea with Mint and 1 plastic cup of water at work.

Hoping tomorrow goes just as well! x

Thanks Lelly x

I am a bit surprised that I am coming in under my allowance? I don`t have any Milk as I don`t like it. I was wondering if I could substitute it with a Vanilla Muller Light Yogourt? I`m guessing not?

I was under 600 cals again last night

I am considering having a bit more protein this evening to up it a bit, But not sure if that`s a deffo no no??

Thankyou for the luck Hope ur having a good weekend too Xxx
