Jog On!

Gained ½lb. Not surprised and actually quite pleased that it was such a small gain after what I ate on Saturday night.

I've now got 2lb to loose to get to that 7lb so gonna give it a big push this week. Will be going out for an hours wobble every morning, Monday to Friday, and will get back to Pilates again next week now things have calmed down again.

Am going to plan some meals now, wish me luck! Or share your favourite meal with me.

Steak Pie...

and chips. That's what I ate last night, followed by chocolate cake and a few glasses of baileys.

We went out to celebrate my mam and dads birthdays and I think I went a bit OTT. But I'll have to try and pull it back cos I really want a loss this week.

So I think I need to plan meals from now til Wednesday. Fingers crossed.

Phew...

Close shave this week.

I have really struggled this week, not eaten crap but over ate a bit too much so I thought I would of had a 1lb gain on my hands. That made me feel gutted, so when I got on the scales and I'd STS I was very happy.

I want 1.5lb off for next week so I can get my first half stone gone even though really I'm 4.5lb away from my stone if I work from my first starting weight.

Here's to a great week for all. Good luck.

I Need...

a new head cos mine feels like a bus has hit it. Grrrrrrrr!

Well I've been to weigh in and I lost 1lb. I had hoped for 2.5lb but I had my doubts that I could do that, so when I started feeling unwell I doubted it even more.

I'm pleased with my loss, because it's a loss and not a gain and as long as I loose each week I'm happy.

Right I'm off to sulk and feel sorry for myself :O(

I Don't Feel Well :O(

Not sure what's wrong with me but I feel very run down and on an evening my voice seems to start dissapearing!
I'm not in pain, I'm not shouting or talking too much so god knows why I feel like this. All I know is that I want to go to bed now.

It's been hard the past two days on the diet as Ray has been cooking for me, I've not had anything bad but I've not been keeping an eye on things, which could be bad.

I'm hungry now, not starving though, but I don't know what to have for supper. I might just have pasta as it's quick and easy.

I wanted to loose 2.5lb this week and to be honest I keep doubting that I can do it. I have never been a big looser on a weekly basis, 1lb a week is great for me, but I will just have to wait and see now. I guess because I want to loose weight right now it makes me feel bad at the thought of letting myself down by not loosing what I'm aiming for.

I like this photo that Stephanie put on her blog of 1lb of fat, minging isn't it! I have really cut the fat out of my diet over the past two weeks, I've only had butter twice in all that time. I guess when you go from having it once a day to once a week it's a big drop.



I'm still off the sugar too and I've only had diet coke once. I'm trying to think of other little things I can change, that will over time make a difference but to be honest I can't think of any right now.

I'm going to put a copy of that fat pic on my fridge so that I see it every time I go to eat!

Woops!

Slipped up today food wise, never had any breakfast or lunch then went to the shop. What did I buy? A pack of Nik Naks, 9 syns! Owch that hurt, and I'm still hungry.

So I'm going to make myself an omelet, which I should of done this morning really. For supper I'm having jacket potato with beans and a chopped up sausage and slice of bacon, maybe a cheese slice melted on top.
Snacks will be fruit and carrot sticks and for bedtime if I'm hungry I'll have a bowl of oats so simple to use up my milk and my healthy extra b.

I must admit that last week was hard going, by Thursday I felt ill and had a really bad headache, lack of chocolate and sugar I think. Now I have to just work hard to keep at it if I want to do my mini goal of 2.5lb loss on Wednesday, I'd be so chuffed with half a stone gone :O)

Last night we had Shepard's pie with loads of chunky veg, was delish and very filling. Tomorrow I'm going to do Bangers and mash to use up the rest of the veg.
Can you tell that I love my comfort foods? I am being really good though and using no oil when frying meat and for mince I am draining all excess oil off and then rinsing with boiled water, which makes it free.

We were shown some Tesco beef burgers that are 5 syns per pack, 4 burgers in a pack! I'm going to buy some, I wouldn't normally buy burgers but I thought they would be nice if I make cheese and bacon burger and the make potato wedges using 1 cal, serving with salad. All free if I use my healthy extras a and b for the bun and cheese.

Right, no more slip ups!

Happy Days!

Well I must admit that it's bee a hard first week. I didn't really start until Saturday and I had Chinese and alcohol on New Years eve but I still lost a grand total of 4.5lb this week! How happy am I.

This is my biggest loss in one week, ever. So I would like to loose 2.5lb next week to get me to my first half a stone, and then to be honest even if I only loose half a pound a week I'll be happy, as long as it's coming off and not going on.

Hope you're all having a great week and not getting stuck in any snow :O)
