Throwing myself into SW - food diary

I've totally lost track of my days.... but I'm back on it now having gained 3lbs in two weeks, and 5.5lbs in total since my lowest weigh in on 5th June.

Breakfast: Overnight Oats

Mid-Morning: Mugshot

Lunch: 2 x scrambled eggs, tin of sardines in tomato sauce.

Dinner: Haven't decided yet
 
Weigh in Post : 2st 1lbs off in total now

Thursday 10th July - + 0.5lbs

Thursday 17th July - + 2.5lbs
 
BLAH over ate Friday and Saturday again! I'm fed up of myself, truly I am.

Friday was a late night biscuit binge which ruined my good day.

Saturday was boredom eating my way through a day at athletics * sigh * followed by a Burger at a service station on the way home, and pizza when we got in.

BUT I'm going to try and set myself a mini-target of 28 days to get back to weighing in at 13st 7's on my own scales at home (was 13st 13.8 this morning), so a month to lose 6lbs. I just need a few good days under my belt to get back into it. I'm toying with the idea of just having a rolling 7-day menu too, so I know what I'm having on any given day....

Day 1: 13st 8.8lbs

Breakfast - 125mls semi-skimmed milk, muller cappucino and a banana

Lunch: 2 x chicken drumsticks, salad, kraft dressing (2 syns), ham sandwich (w/m bread = HE B).

Dinner: Roast chicken, cabbage, brocolli, mashed potato (2.5 syns), gravy (1 syn), Yorkshire Pud (2 syns)

Evening: 125ml semi-skimmed milk, muller.

Snack: Penguin (5.5 syns)

Day 3 - 13st 13.8lbs (2.2lbs down on yesterday, 4lbs down on day 1!!!!!!) - hope it's not a fluke on my scales cos I'm extremely pleased to be back under the 14st mark.

Athletics today, so will be out of the house between midday and 5pm. I'm taking some healthy food with me, but I know if I get bored I will be raiding the family picnic basket. It's a meeting that doesn't run to a timetable and both kids are taking part on the same day so it's not actually as boring as the ones we have been going to. I say "kids" as my eldest is nearly 18, and he's got a lot of potential and his personal best for the 100m is 10.9 seconds with an average of 11.2, so with coaching and growing, we could be watching him at the Commonwealth games. I don't know if anyone is watching the athletics but 21-year-old Adam Gemili who is part of the relay team was running the same times as mine as a 17-year-old.

BUT - the days are still long and boring apart from the 11 seconds that he's running the 100m lol.

Breakfast: Omelette (3 x eggs, cheese allowance, mushrooms, onion, bacon and a bit of brown sauce) 1 syn

At Athletics: Grapes, Blackberries, Blueberries, mint yoghurt, 2 x alpen lights

Dinner: 2 x Salmon burgers (Lidl) - 4 syns, 3 x Linda McCartney Sausages, salad, Kraft (1 syn), 100g potato wedges (3.5 syns).

Snacks: 1 x bag of mini party rings (5.5 syns)

Day 1

Here I am again, back for another try. I'm now 8.5lbs away from the lightest I was back on my birthday in June and I'm back up to 14st 4.5lbs meaning 1st 12lbs off altogether. I'm starting to feel really bloated and craving sugar all the time and I'm fed up of wasting £5 a week going to class just to yo-yo. I found the summer really hard but now it looks that we're back in Autumn again, the school hols are drawing to a close, and I start my new job in 2 weeks. I plan to be 12 stone by Christmas so need 1.7lbs off per week (eeek)

Breakfast: Tin of beans

Mid-Morning: banana

Lunch: Uncle Ben's microwave rice (3 syns), packet of Walkers pops (4 syns)

Oh Vicki - they were horrible! I only took one mouthful and got a horrible after taste of sweeteners and binned the rest.

It was 35g of porridge oats, 1 egg, 2tbsp of sweetener(from memory). I'd rather have 2 alpen lights

Day 2. 1lb exactly down on yesterday at 14st 1lb

Breakfast: Banana

Lunch: Bacon & Onion quiche and beans (including HEA cheese)

Dinner: Cheesy potato pie and beans

Snacks: love heart sweets (2 syns), possibly 2 slices of wholemeal toast with spread (but I'm not hungry so maybe not) - 2.5 syns
