the truthful dieting diary of mrsorangecat

[mrsorangecat]

Hi all! I'm really gonna do this, this time. I've had enuf of messing about with it. Did Cambridge successfully and lost around 3 stone a few years back. Now I've sadly put 1 stone + back on :cry:and determined not to regain all I lost. I've tried the shakes again and I just can't put myself through it again, plus I need to get myself onto a healthy eating plan that I can continue even when I'm down to goal.

So here goes:- I tipped the scales at 15 stone 1.5 lbs this morning and I am going to weigh myself every Sunday morning and post on here, plus starting tomorrow I shall bore you all with my food diary!!

I've made a healthy tea for tonight, pork loin steak, cabbage, cauliflower, new potatoes and carrots with a fresh fruit salad for pudding.

I start properly tomorrow.....I know people say dont start dieting on a Monday, but I've got the food in and I'm ready! Plus it's the beginning of the month, well techinically it is today, but I've not been feeling too good - (dodgy tum) , so I've just been drinking water today, will try my tea and hopefully tum will settle down and I can start tomorrow.

I've joined the weight loss challenge and I am going for 8 lb loss in August.

I am going to try the extra easy or "free and easy" as I slipped up and called it the other night after a few wines! (I get worse!! )

Tara for now xx

Thanks Meli and Teresa

Well today has gone fairly well, I think...

Breakfast - 2 x weetabix and skimmed milk from allowance
Lunch - 2 mugshots, activia yoghurt
Snacks - peach, nectarine, apple
Tea - casserole made with lean beef, new potatoes, carrots, onions, peppers, sweetcorn, mushrooms
Pudding - Activia yoghurt
Drinks - 3 x cups of peppermint tea, lots of sugar free squash and now just sitting with a diet coke and ice

Syns - Tesco beef casserole mix -will have to look it up, but I dont think it will be much, plus I'll be sharing the total with DH.

I'm stuffed! I think I understand how this will work now as I havent felt hungry all day. Hope everyone is doing well today.
