Probably a STS week

Somehow I doubt I'll lose this week - sorry yellows   But fingers crossed - miracles can happen.

I had a reasonable day yesterday.  Gave in and had fish and chips for dinner.

My TOTM is late - and no I'm not preggers, just peri-meno which is a pain in the neck as it seems to me to mean having PMS and cravings for two weeks instead of just a few days.

So the bad news is that I may not lose anything this week.

The good news is that I will definitely not have gained this week - woohoo!  A maintain is as good as a lose as far as I'm concerned.  There's the bonus that I may actually avoid the plateau I usually hit at around week 4 or 5 due to my rather naughty week.  Always a positive to everything

Go yellows   And pinks of course hehe

This week I am going to be an

Still not perfect

I guess the TOTM is coming up as I can't seem to control my hunger one little bit at the mo.  But I'm holding my own and today I woke up not feeling as hungry as yesterday.  Going to avoid the Diet Coke today as I'm sure that makes me hungry.

I've ordered a hamper from Diet Chef - it's like Go Lower (i.e. meal delivery) but £20 cheaper per week.  I just love the idea of not having to think too much as I'm becoming obsessed with counting calories and food, food, food.

Fingers crossed I can manage that 19 stone for Thursday.  I may just do it if I can get rid of the bloat and stick to the diet for the next two days.

Hope everyone has a good day :D

Bad day

Had another bad day but not as bad as it could have been.  Ate lots of chocolate, samosas and a biryani, then ate more chocolate!  Okay, back on the grapefruit I think

The scales are showing 3 lbs up - nooooo!  Probably like holiday weight though so will shift before Thursday (fingers crossed).  Going to be ultra strict over the next 3 days to make up for my bad behaviour.

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Eating Out

Yesterday we went to a restaurant that just didn't seem to have anything "healthy" as such that appealed to me.  Ended up having a chicken and bacon risotto and then worrying over how many calories were in it.  Kept telling myself to lighten up - it's not like I downed a dessert.

Think I ate more than I think though - but was a long day.  I wish we just stuck to restaurants that have nutritional information on the Internet - at least that gives an approximate indication of calories and some reassurance.

Was a lovely risotto though - loved every mouthful

Hope you are all having a good weekend.

A big thanks :D

Another really big thank you from me to you all for helping me stay positive when I was fighting the doldrums.  Not out of the storm and heading into calmer seas.

I tired the jogging on the Wii yesterday - lowest level possible.  I am so so so so unfit haha  But I finally got to the end after having taken a short break in the middle.  Attempted the rhythm boxing too and wow, that is hard, really really really hard.  I'm about as coordinated as a drunk at Christmas!  Was fun though hehe

Umm, breakfast is a steak and onion omelette - yummy!

And here comes the weekend

And that means mother, who I so love to bits and I admit was very supportive when I saw her last.  I definitely want to keep the momentum up that I've had going over the last few days - if I can do another 16 or 17 days without deviation, then I'll be happy - if I can make it until my birthday, I'll be even more happy

Didn't sleep well last night - woke up and starting thinking about dad which led to me sobbing like a baby at 0230 - didn't get back to sleep until around 0500.  Only natural I guess - I wish that dad could have been here for my 40th.  But I don't feel like comfort eating - I'm losing this weight for him.  He always wanted to see me thin and so that is what I shall do.  I want him to be proud of my weightloss achievement - I'm sure, wherever he is, he is grinning at my success so far and spurring me on.

Have a good day everyone.

Just 0.75lb short hehe

Nearly made that 19 stone mark today but alas, 0.75 of a lb to go.  In a way that's actually good as it gives me something to aim for - still striving for that 18 stone figure.

So I that makes 1.75 lbs loss to go towards the challenge

Ooh, that makes me so happy.  And to add to that the sun is shining.  Today is a good day.

Hope you all have a good one too.

Happy happy :D

Had a really good day yesterday.  I was full of enthusiasm.  Didn't get any exercise in though - that's the one thing I need to work on big time.

I signed up to an Open University course - S104 Exploring Science.  I've attempted one before but never done the final exam - this time I really want to give it a go and I'm older and wiser.  I don't want to make a career out of it, but it will be good for personal development and will occupy my mind over the weightloss/life changing journey.

Not sure how I will do this week after the weekend blip but hoping I can do good by my fellow yellow teammates.  Fingers crossed for a pound or two

Back in the Groove

Due to all the horrible food upsetting my stomach the damage of falling off the wagon has not been as bad as I had anticipated - this has spurred me on and I've woken up today full of the joys of healthy eating

Of course, I have an incentive in Endurer's challenge.  Can't let people down now can I, and of course, can't let myself down.  I'm so much better than that.

Just eaten the most disgusting strawberries - what's with the obsession for all things large and tasteless hehe  Give me little sweet berries anyday.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Agggghhhh Fell off the wagon

And didn't half hurt my backside.  But that aside, I need to climb back on - in fact stuff the wagon, I'll take the horse instead.

Tomorrow is a new day and I'm going to now go and remind myself of what I'm supposed to be doing and why.
