The brutal truth...

[beauty is...]

Still going strong and my sneaky Tuesday jump on the scales reveals a loss so I'm excited for Thursday now!

Breakfast
2 boiled eggs
Asparagus

Lunch
Sandwich thin (hexb)
Baked beans
Apple

Dinner
Slimming world carbonara
Salad
Yoghurt

Snacks
Pop corners (4.5syns) - these are AMAZING for anyone who hasn't tried them!
Banana
2 babybel lights (hexa)

I'm doing a 12hr nightshirt tonight so not sure yet about what I'll be eating overnight. Might have to just take some free snacks with me.

 

[beauty is...]

Post nightshift is as tricky for eating as during nightshift! So I finished at half 7 and got home about 8, got the kids ready and packed off to school then had a yoghurt before going for a few hours kip. It's strange to get up and move straight to lunch. But I think I've managed, though I've possibly undereaten. Then of course there's the problem of where to put the food I've eaten overnight! Is it today's or yesterday's. I used to graze all night long and was convinced it was 'free'! Therefore the calories didn't count!! I wonder why I'm fat! So today's diary starts at 8am. The salad and banana I had overnight will just need to stay in its nightshift void!

Breakfast
Weight watchers yoghurt

Lunch
Chicken tikka chunks

Dinner
Omelette with cheese (hexa)
Sweet potato chips
Peas

Snacks
Tunnocks tea cake (5syns)
Pop corners (4.5syns)
Maybe a slice of toast if I'm hungry (hexb)

9.5 syns today. It's weigh in tomorrow and I'm very hopeful for a decent loss.

 

[beauty is...]

I'm stunned to have lost 6lbs this week!! It just goes to show what can be achieved if you stick with it. I find it so easy to resign myself to being fat, and start having the odd biscuit here and there but I haven't done that this week. I've stuck to it 100%.

My total loss so far is 33lbs. So happy

I'll be back later with my diary xx

 

[beauty is...]

I'm still on a high after today's loss! I was out for breakfast and out for lunch but was as good as I could be....until confronted by a packet of choc chip cookies. I'm might have indulged in one or five...

I'm out at the pub tonight so will be having a few vodkas, with diet coke of course! Though I've not been bad bad today, I've gone off plan so will resume counting syns tomorrow. I promise

Breakfast
2 poached eggs and one slice brown toast

Lunch
Vegetable soup and cheese toasties

Dinner
SW chilli con carne and rice.

Snacks
Too many cookies
Probably too many vodkas

Syns - probably too many xx

Last night was fab. Caught up with a few friends and enjoyed a few drinks. I'm feeling a little sluggish and weary today and craving bad carbs. I've been ignoring the cravings and bashing on with the plan.

Breakfast
Oops...never managed due to the rush to get out the door but had a digestive biscuit that the nursery teacher gave me because I said I was starving! (4syns)

Lunch
Mugshot
Chicken tikka chunks
Pickled egg
Velvet crunch (5syns)

Dinner
Jacket potato with leftover chili and 40g reduced fat cheese (hexa)
Salad
Yoghurt

Snacks
2 alpen light bars (hexb)

It's our gala day tomorrow so I might not be here to post. But I'll be back soon x

 

[beauty is...]

The lost weekend!
It was our gala day on Saturday and we had a blast! After the parade, we went to a bbq and enjoyed lovely food and lots of gin! Sunday was an utterly write off and I indulged in buttered toast, crisps and a chippy dinner! Not so slimming world friendly though so I'm back on track today. I need to shift 2.5lbs to get into the teens but don't think I'll manage that after yesterday but I'll give it a good try!

Breakfast
Pickled eggs and ham

Lunch
Sweet chilli chicken and salad

Dinner
Tbc...maybe pasta

Snacks
Velvet crunch
Banana

 

[beauty is...]

*sigh* yesterday never went as planned either! So annoyed with myself! Lunch was in a soft play where I had a big plate of nachos. With cheese sour cream and guacamole. Breakfast, dinner and snacks were fine though so I really hope I've not done too much harm.

Trying to be extra good today as I've only got 2 days before weigh in. I'm not hopeful for a loss though!

Breakfast
Banana
Weight watchers yoghurt

Lunch
Ryvita and cottage cheese
Pickled egg
Ham
Strawberries

Dinner
Cajun chicken with roast peppers and slimming world wedges.
Fresh apricots

I'll wait and see what snacks are and only have if I need them. It's probably not the way to go about it, but I just don't want to eat for the sake of it x

What's going on with me this week?! Just can't seem to get my head back into it...totally craving carbs, and giving in to my cravings. I was fine yesterday until mid afternoon when I had 3 slices of white bread with peanut butter plus a packet of mini cheddars. Then didn't want my dinner so didn't have anything gets with the family. Of course, I was starving by 9pm and had cheese on toast and a packet of velvet crunch. I'm even struggling with doing a proper healthy shopping and meal plan. I just have zero motivation and can't think of decent meals to have! It's ferry frustrating. So my meals for today...

Breakfast
2 slices French toast made with 2 eggs and 2 small slices wholemeal bread (hexb)

Lunch
Couscous with 2 Linda McCartney sausages
Apple

Dinner
Jacket potato with cottage cheese and salad

Working nightshift so will take some cooked chicken and fruit to snack on overnight. Weigh in tomorrow...will let you know how that goes!

I'm still here! Truly awful day yesterday as I was struck down with some horrible stomach bug! I slept all day and went to bed at 9pm and slept all night then woke up feeling brand new! Thank God for my friends who picked up my kids from school and delivered them to karate and fed them! On the plus side, I only ate two slices of toast yesterday and the scales are happy this morning. I hope I can keep the loss going this week. It's my birthday tomorrow so I'll need to be super restrained!! I haven't planned my meals for today yet so I'll be back later to update x

[beauty is...]

Writing from my sofa where I'm slobbing out, after being awake for 28hrs straight! When I've done night shift on a Friday, I feel cheated if I sleep all day Saturday so I didn't bother today...paying for it now! Matchsticks anyone??!
