Trying again in 2012
Monday May 9th
I’ve been following the plan for 12 weeks, although must admit that the last three of these have been decidedly ropey, with two weeks on and off and one week away on hols which was completely off! However, as of yesterday when we got back home I’m back on plan and hoping that starting a public rather than private diary will give me the feeling of a fresh start again. The fridge is stocked, my meals are roughly planned, my water bottle is full and May is a quiet one socially so I have no excuses!!!
I didn’t weigh last week as we were away, but I know from what I ate and drank that I have without a doubt gained, so just need to do some damage control between now and Thursday to try and minimise that gain! I don’t attend classes but WI at home on a Thursday with my OH. He is following the ‘essence of SW’ – ie he wants to lose it and likes the meals we have but has no interest in how it works or why! His meals are pretty much on plan but his HE portions are not measured, so he tends to have an extra B choice most days. However, being a bloke who loses faster this gives me a chance to keep up with him and 12 weeks on we are pretty much level pegging on our losses!!
I’m not able to post from work, so I’ll be writing this in an email form to myself throughout the day and then posting it in the evening, so apologies if it seems a little rambling!!
Food plan for the day:
Red day
Breakfast – 2 ww yogurts (wouldn’t usually have 2 but they have been lingering a while in the fridge and are 3 days past their use by!!) I did eat these but not until after lunch.
Lunch – quiche made from 2 eggs, ½ pot cottage cheese, 2 slices of ham with green salad and an apple
Throughout the day – small galia melon chopped up (yes, a whole one!)
Dinner – chicken marinaded in yogurt, lemon juice and tandoori spice with hm syn free raitia, 2 wm pittas (2xHEB) and a huge salad (Plus HEA of 42g reduced fat cheddar)
HEA – 250ml ss milk (in tea)
Syns – not sure yet, but an after dinner treat to be decided! Cornetto enigma raspberry - 9 syns and absoultely gorgeous!!! (and only £1 per box in asda at the mo!)
Syns total: 9
First day back in the office today which is always hard after a week and a bit off. I am responsible for an office of 70 staff which is undergoing some huge changes so lots of catching up to do. I was in at 7.30 and by 10.00 my new to-do list was already going onto another side of paper! Its now 11.45 and my breakfast is still in my bag, next to my lunch! I’ve had a litre of water, but need to make time for brekkie as I don’t think its good to be running on empty for too long. As well as the effects on the metabolism I think it makes me more inclined to overeat later in the day
23.10 - Off the bed in a mo but was determined to post my first diary! It was a long day today, but I was pleasantly full all day, and my tandoori chicken was gorgeous tonight. Off to mash some tuna for tomorrow before turning in for the night x
