Weigh In
Just before my weigh in on Monday evening, I had another bout of IBS. I'm not normally grateful when I get it, for obvious reasons, but I registered a 2lb weight loss, and I am sure it must have contributed. 
Whatever, I will take it, and I was I was pleased. Funnily enough, despite the circumstances it has given me a boost for the coming week.
WW have launched a new journal too, for recording everything and planning, so I had to have one, and the thought of a shiny new book to write in really boosted me too. (I know very childish 
)
My aim for this week to try and crack the 260 mark. I am hovering around 259/260.8 and can't seem to get away from it. I need to get into 258 and below so I have left 260 behind.
Onwards and Downwards.

A lot off track
The week for me hasn't ended on a high diet wise
I began craving chocolate and not just a small amount. When that happens it never ends well.
I have lost control, but on a positve note, I am now feeling a lot better, thanks to the rest and the medication, and so I'm hopeful that i can take control going into the next week.
I start back to work tomorrow, and this is my first week back up to 4 days for about 3 years, it will kill me, lol, but at the same time it will mean I will have more days work routine thsn home routine, and it's the home routine that seems to defeat me, probably because I don't have a routine, don't pack food etc,
Tomorrow night is my weigh in, and I think realistically the very best I can hope for is that I have stayed the same - not great but I would take that happily compared to another gain.

Low
Today I decided to have a points counting day. I think it's worked because I have eaten well but am well within my points allowance.
I've felt slightly better physically today, but emotionally I'm low, I could have sat and sob for most of the day. Instead I tried to keep myself busy by making a list of jobs and doing then 15 mins at a time, with lots of resting in between. I think the emotional low is being caused by the virus/infection and the fact that I feel so exhausted. Although, I am not feeling anywhere near as unsettled and anxious as I did yesterday.

Chest Infection
Went to the doctor this morning, I drove throw torrential rain and howling wind to get to his surgery. I got to see him immediately and he took one look at me, said I looked terrible *rolls eyes* and gave me antibiotics after examining my chest, but he said he could hear the infection without having to check. I've been signed off work also until after the weekend.
After my Wi last night I decided today had to be back on track, to the letter, and decided to have a Filling and Healthy Day. When I got back from the GP I looked through my WW papers and realised that Weetabix which I thought was a free food on a F&HD actually isn't so I've had to reevaluate all my food for the day. I've still opted for a F&HD but it's taken more of my Weekly Points Allowance than I anticipated.
I've taken some time out this afternoon to look through old WW booklets and remove some receipes that I thought I am likely to try at some time, especially fish. I so need to make the effort to eat more fish but I'm not a great fish lover, so will eat almost anything else to avoid it. It's not the fish that's the problem, it's the bones.
Maybe it's the antibiotics, maybe it's my illness, but I feel very weepy right now. Hope it passes soon.

Garlic!
Still sick :-( and slept until almost lunchtime again, then when I did get up I made myself plant out my baby garlic plants. They have been growing in the greenhouse since October but really needed to be outside now. Also been for a 2 mile walk with my DH and dogs, along the canal towpath. It's colder here today but drier and brighter so it was quite nice and helped to clear my head.
WW WI later this evening, I'm just going to weigh and go. I'm going to try and see a GP tomorrow.

What a Christmas
I've been really sick all over Christmas and I still am, but I am improving and hoping that what I have doesn't develope into a chest infection, so I may visit my GP on Tuesday to get checked out.
Before Christmas I rejoined WW with the help of my GP who gave me some vouchers for 3 months free meeting fees. I have to have lost 5% of my weight by week 10 to get another 3 months vouchers. I had achieved that before Christmas, I had lost 16lbs, but over the holiday I have regained some. I go to WI tomorrow To find out exactly how I've done. I truly don't think I've gained so much.
Planning a trip to ASDA soon to get fresh foods forthe week, and now all the junk food has gone we can get back onto plan.

Today has not gone to plan with regard to anything. Firstly had to call in to work sick becasue of back pain. I have always had back pain, from a long standing injury, and losing weight has never made it better.
Todays difficult time was 5.30pm, when I felt as though I could eat a horse. I am not convinced I was physically hungry or my brain out of habit convinced my tummy to rumble. I decided to have toast, but should not have loaded it with the butter I did or had 4 slices.
Apart from that the food today has gone well: breakfast, lunch and 2 planned snacks - 1 of fruit and 1 of nuts.
Tonight I am going to a Chinese restaurant with my DH if the pain allows...

Had a wonderful weekend with DH and my boys visiting Bakewell Day of Dance and collecting some Ebay bargains I had purchased.
I had a think about my goals over the weekend and I think that as I am older I now need to revise what my healthy goal for me should be. I do not believe that I look the weight I am, so I have revised my goal weight to 210lbs. Medically I will still be considered "overweight" maybe even "obese" (what a vile word) but I think that I will feel happier at that weight, and I feel as though it's acheivable from where I am rather than the 165lbs that I have been told is my "ideal" weight.
Making this change in my thinking has made me feel more positive.
I have succeeded in packing a filling and healthy lunch for work today, and have planned in some snacks. Despite it being Monday I'm feeling very positve and looking forward to my week.

I'vd had a busy but good week, it's been balanced well, with work, friendship, home, family, and time for myself. A good week!
I got the chance on Thursday and Friday to actually give my house a really good sorting out. Not just cleaning, but actually sorting stuff into it's proper places and even managed to let quite a lot of stuff go. It feels good.
I am still finding that I am turning to snacks. During the day time I chose fruit but during the late evening I always want sugary foods, I think this is tiredness, it certainly isn't hunger. The hardest part for me is to not eat if I'm not hungry. That's an area I need to work on...and to cut the snacks.
Today is a craft day and I'm booked onto a workshop. I have very little food in the house as today is usually grocery shop day, and the temptation was to get a bought sandwich from the supermarket when I go to get some cash. I've decided though that I can make some ham rolls with some bread out of the freeezer and just steer clear of the bought items.
Really looking forward to this weekend, I feel positive about things at the minute in general and the weather forecast is for warmer weather and more sunshine - always a winner!

Still thinking
Still thinking of things I can do tonight. A hot bath with a bath bomb is a given.
The other options are:
watching DVDs in bed (not allowed when DH is home)
playing on the computer in bed
reading...in bed
hmmm seems to be a bit of a theme developing here.
Need to walk my dogs too, so hoping that the rain holds off.
