Mixed Week

Well, it's been a bit of a mixed week this week. Monday and Tues I stuck to Kickstart, having 22 points instead of 27. Wed and Thurs were ok days, maybe stuck to my 27 points....Friday I had an engagement dinner, so maybe went a bit over I think, but then I didn't have any dinner...so maybe not. And then Sat and today stuck rigidly to my points!!

So really, I've been a bit rubbish, even though I promised myself I would stick to ww rigidly, boo me! Fingers crossed I'll be better next week.

2nd blog of the day!

So...so far so good today! I've decided to do the kick start this week, I'm allowed 22 points cos I'm a pie, woooo! So far today I've had....

B: Porridge with water and toast

L: Ham salad sandwich and side salad with coleslaw

D: Steak with potato salad and brussel sprouts

So I think thats about 19 points (full fat coleslaw...ooops!), which leaves me 3 points, not too bad!

Also went to Curves, so earned about 2 to 3 bonus points too, but shall save those for the weekend cos I've got an engagement party on Friday....wooo!

Binge filled weekend!

Ok, so I started off well at the beginning of last week, I counted my points religiously! But then on Thursday, I went to a Wetherspoons with my mate and had the pork loin steaks with jacket potato and salad, thinking that the 14 points I had saved would be plenty to cover food and a wee glass of wine...got home and checked the points value of dinner, only to find it was at least 17 points!!!!!! 17!!!! Almost died! So just shows, it pays to be prepared and check out the points before hand! So Thurs was sabotaged. On Friday, I went out after work, had a chicken salad, which was all fine and even pretty tasty! Then my mate and I had 3 bottles of wine between us and a chippie on the way home!! Shocking, I know, I am rubbish when I'm drunk and hungry!!

Was good on Saturday (mainly because I had the hangover from hell!) but then yest, I was hungry the whole day and ended up splitting a pizza with my brother, so well blew my points! I am indeed shameful and disgusted, so am now back on the wagon my gusto! No more! I have three months until I back to Toronto on my hols and refuse to be as fat as I was last year!!!! So here's to a new week!

Weigh In

I've been a rogue blogger these days....bad me!

Well I had WI tonight and I lost 1lb! Which I was pretty happy with, I was good all week, but then I went to a family bbq on sat and I think I ate and drank my own body weight in food and booze! Still hungover today....shocking! So needless to say, I expected to put on, but yay, I didnt!!

So thats about it really, got a tough week ahead with 3 dinners out, so fingers crossed that I can avoid temptation!

So far so good...

So first proper day back on the ww points wagon and i've not been too bad, menu so far...

B: toasted bagel with jam

L: Turkey salad sandwich and banana

D: Pork escalopes, ww creme freche sauce recipe and baked sweet potato

S: light wine gums

Still got about 8 points left, so think I'll have myself a bagel with elf cream cheese and save 4 points for the wkend.

Also did 20 mins on the exercise bike and 100 ab crunches...my abs definately need crunching, ha! Was gonna go to Curves tonight, but just couldn't face it tonight, so will go tomor night!

braved my ww meeting!

yep, so thats it done! braved my first ww meeting in about a month and a half! bless my leader, she may scare the b'jesus outta me, but she never abuses me for being the most absent member ever! i always usually have a whole pile of excuses ready for when i go back and step on the scales, knowing i've put on wait...but this time i just said i had no excuses, i had just been rubbish and now i'll be better! so thats me, back on track, even bought the new ww magazine for some motivation! so fingers crossed for this week!

Back on the ww wagon!

G'day! Can't believe its Monday again and I'm back at work, booooo!

Had a bad weekend...surprise surprise! Haven't ben going to my ww class for a few weeks either, which, I think is totally the reason why I can't stick to my points! My leader kinda scares the life outta me...which is just what I need, cos it motivates me to stick to it!

So i'm going back this evening after work, with my tail between my legs yet again! I truly believe she might kick my ass! Ah well...I probably need it!

I also blame this lovely weather (well excluding today and sunday that is!), cos all i want to do is sit outside and drink pimms and gin...which is exactly what i have been doing...oooops! Not my fault...honest, ha! So I've started afresh today and here's what i've had so far....

B: Toasted bagel with jam

L: Tuna baked potato with salad

D: ?

S: Go Ahead bar

So far so good!

I Heart Points!

So yes, at first I loved core, but then I quickly realised that i CANNOT lived without bread!!! Or the choice of eating whatever I like! So yes, I'm back on points...i know im supposed to stick to the one plan for one week, but i went back over what i've ate, and its still within my points allowance, so all is good! Boooo to core!!!

Such nice weather today...and i was off work! So went for a picnic with my friend Kirsty and her son, soooooooo much fun! But am totally exhausted, so an early night for me this eve i reckon!

I heart core!

So far, I think I'm going to love core! Menu so far for today has been...

B: Scrambled egg, tesco healthy living bacon and beans

L: Salad, Ryvita with elf soft cheese and some melon

D: Gammon Steak and Potato Salad (recipe from ww mag) with corn on the cob.

S: carrots and salsa.

The potato salad was soooooooooooo tasty, didnt taste like diet food at all! Also went to tesco's so stocked up on all my Core food, so i have no reason not to stick to it! I even went to Curves this morning...on a bank holiday...thats right, I'm awesome, ha!!

So day 1 on core is done...bring on day 2!!

Core begins today!

So its bank holiday monday today and I'm just about to get up and go to Tesco's to stock up on some Core foods. I think that starting something different will give me more motivation. I've been counting points on and off for a few years and don't get me wrong, it does work, I lost 4 stones that first time, but I think I get bored really easily, so hopefully making a little change will make the difference....fingers crossed!

Oh and I think its actually sunny in Scotland on a bank holiday...controversial!!!
