[tinyshoes]

This weekend didn't go too well food-wise, haven't felt very well really, a bit weak and tired have felt like it most of the week on and off, don't know if I've picked a bit of virus up or something....trouble is I didn't feel particularly hungry but thought I should eat to try and get rid of the weak feeling, but ended up overeating or eating the wrong things!

Think they had 'seasoned' it with mint but it was awful!)
WW choc eclair 1.5

2 x glasses Lambrini 3?

Around 23 points used today, good job I didn't like the lamb thing it saved me a couple of points!

 

[tinyshoes]

Monday 15th June - couldn't sleep last night think it's coz of the Lambrini I only had 2 glasses but could really tell! haha I'm such a lightweight, I was wide awake after it though I'll have to remember in future one glass = sleep, two glasses = no sleep! So bit tired today but think I'm generally feeling better than I have done recently....

Total points used today: 20.5/19 - was wondering whether I should go down to 18 now (I know sticking to 19 would be a great start ) as I'm only 2lbs away from the next stone down....plus I always overeat points at weekends! I'll see how I feel throughout today, if I feel 'normal' again I might drop a point a day from tomorrow....

1 cream cracker with 1 very thin slice cheese 2?

Drink:
1 x decaf coffee

Total points used today: 21/19 - big oops! Could have been much worse though, was ok til h2b got the crackers and cheese out! Only had the one though so I was quite restrained! Guess I'm just looking at a sts this week which isn't too bad at this point, I don't know how realistic my goal weight is for me, I am currently half a pound away from the lowest weight I got to last time I did WW (which was 4 yrs ago) so another 9.5lbs may be asking too much...I will keep trying though when my head is in the right place...which won't be next week as I'm off work all week so will be eating out more than usual.....I STILL DON'T LOOK GREAT IN A BIKINI I MUST REMEMBER THAT!!! 2 months til dress fitting, 4 months til honeymoon!

 

[tinyshoes]

Thursday 18th June - Had another slight slip-up last night although I didn't go completely off the rails I was 2 points over which wouldn't be bad if I was trying to maintain! I did manage to stay almost in control though...

80g garden peas 0.5
Mushrooms 0

Snack:
Sugar free rasp jelly, 1/2 sachet WW strawb & cream dessert 1, Strawbs 0.5, small amount tip top squirty cream 1? this was lovely like a mini trifle, although I don't think the portion sizes of the WW dessert are very big, not too bad when added to other things, but on it's own there really would be no point going through the effort of making it only to have two spoonfuls, very disappointing but tasted nice.

Drink:
2 x decaf coffee
3 x NAS squash
1 x diet cherryade
1 x diet coke citrus

Exercise:
None went to future in-laws instead!

[tinyshoes]

Friday 19th June - WI - sts! I was expecting to anyway so no big shock. Not too worried about it at this stage either. I feel so much better having lost over a stone since Christmas (12.5lbs since starting WW), and people have really started noticing now which is nice! Apart from my h2b who thinks it's funny to say 'another stone and you will be spot on'. It's his way of saying I look better I think and he says it as a joke (apparently!) but sometimes I don't see the funny side of it (hormones eh?!). Anyway I told him when he is a stick insect I'll become one too haha that shut him up! Right looking ahead to next week, I am off work which is never good diet-wise so i am going to aim for a sts again and do my best to make good choices when we're out and about! I will try to keep my diary updated, good or bad wish me luck!

Breakfast:
2 x egg omelette 2.5 with mushrooms and small shaving of cheese 1
2nd breakfast (at work): WW lemon cheesecake yoghurt 1

Snack:
WW black forest bar 1.5

Lunch:
WW tomato soup 1
2 x Warburton's bread 2
Walker's sunbites (I love these!) 2

Snack:
WW rasp and white choc biscuits 1.5

Dinner:
No idea yet!
Maybe a quorn chilli and rice.... 7.5ish
Or WW curry ready meal with WW mini naan 7

Drink:
2 x decaf coffee
2 x NAS squash
1 x diet cherryade

Exercise:
Right, I am going to really make the effort tonight as am hoping if I do some form of exercise every day this week it will help me to sts for next WI even though I have the week off work! So it will either be half an hour walk/drag with the dog or 5km on cross trainer. Or if I'm feeling like it, maybe both!!

Total points used today: Have 19.5 or 20 planned so will try to stick to this, as the exercise will counteract the extra 0.5 or 1 point above my normal allowance.

ive just finished reading your diary, and i was just thinking maybe you should turn it into a book ,it reads like a comedy. i havent smiled and laughed so much in ages. youre honest and i think thats what people like to see. i see you also have a liking for crisps (thats one of my problems). i have several stones to lose and its coming of slowly ive just lost a total of 16 and a half pounds in 5 weeks so im keeping fingers crossed that it keeps coming of steadily. good luck with the wedding hope it all goes well.

Thanks, it's good to know someone reads it haha! I often wonder whether I'm just rambling on to myself and no-one else sees it. Yeah I do like crisps, and cakes, and chocolate and ice-cream :drool:....and have just had a week off work (and the diet it seems!! ) so I am seriously back on it now. Only about 6 weeks or so until my dress fitting now, it's coming round so quickly! Well done on your weight loss you are doing fantastically, you put me to shame!! I MUST TRY HARDER, sorry, I'm shouting at myself not you! Keep up the hard work you are doing so well and thanks again for reading

 

[bacardikim]

you keep writing and i will keep reading plus it gives me ideas for meals. i did notice you go on the wii board i do wii active the dancing bit anyway its a laugh. i tend to walk each day with my mum as we are doing it together so if i walk i dont do wii fit but i dont use my exercise points anyway.keep up the good work and i hope your diet goes to plan

take care

Ok, I'm back after a fantastic week off work and although I started out with good intentions of keeping my diary updated, good or bad, well it didn't happen! And I wasn't good either....on the plus side I didn't eat EVERYTHING in sight but I was fairly bad mainly with ice-cream as it was such a lovely hot week! Back to it now....managed to sts for WI on Fri so I think it will catch up with me this week so I guess it's just damage limitation for this week and try to sts again!
