Good Evening Everyone

1.5lbs down tonight. Another 2 and I've reached a stone. That's my aim for this week. Stay focused and I shall prevail!!

Hubby got his stone award tonight. Teachers pet!

Back on Track

Another 2.5lbs down this week, 10.5lbs in total. Not too shabby!

Nobody said it was going to be easy

This Slimming World malarkey is actually really hard when you're away at a friends for the weekend. He went out and bought loads of stuff that was "healthy", but actually the combination of it didn't make it a green day or a red day, and when I worked out the syn value of some of the stuff, it was really high!  I think I'll get him to come to us next time. Then I can cook and I'll stick to plan!

Disappointed

Only a half pound loss this week. Not what I wanted, but better than nothing and I know why it was.

Need to focus this week

Another Loss

We both down another 3lbs and we both got our half stone awards. The woman who runs the class wants to put us forward for the Mr & Mrs awards next year!!

Wii

So I went to see the consultant today about my knee, and we've decided to operate. I am quite relieved as I just want it to stop hurting now, and hopefully the op will sort that out. There's a 5 month waiting list, so it'll probably be about February time. Hopefully my losing weight will help anyway. I mean, I'm not huge, but I know I'm bigger than I should be.

It's weigh in day tomorrow. I'm not expecting a huge loss, but even if I've lost a pound I'll be happy.

In other news, we're getting a Nintendo Wii. It's been dispatched today, so fingers crossed, it might be here for the weekend. It was even reccomended by Slimming World as a way to lose weight.

Well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!!

Plodding On

I feel like I've had a bit of a bad weekend. I had 13.5 "syns" yesterday. That's OK thought as we're allowed up to 15 a day, but I've been quite good about keeping it to 10 or under. I've been really good today though. Weetabix for breakfast, beans on toast for lunch, and I'm doing a Shepherds Pie made with Quorn for tea.

I did a healthy chicken tikka masalla on Friday which was lovely and I made a healthy cheesecake yesterday (I say healthy, it was 6 syns a serving, but healthy compared to a normal cheesecake). Oh well.

The truth will be told on weigh in day on Thursday.

Back to making my shepherds pie.....

We Kicked Ass

One week on plan and I'm down 4.5lbs and hubby is down 6lb!! WOOHOO!!!

Feeling Blue

Well, I’m past the hunger stage. We weigh in again tomorrow night and then we will weigh in on Tuesday most nights apart from when hubby is working away. A sore point at the moment.

I will be distraught if I haven’t lost weight. Do I feel like I have? Well I’m not sure really. How do I know? I’m not gonna stand on the scales at home because I know they’re not accurate and I don’t want to get my hopes up and think I’ve lost loads, only to get weighed on the proper scales there and be disappointed with the truth.

A friend of mine at work has been a bit concerned; apparently I’m looking tired and pale. A lot of that is to do with the fact I’ve been in a LOT of pain with my knee for the last week or so. I see the consultant again next week and I think he’s going to want to operate. I’m not really sure how I feel about that. I don’t want the op, but I don’t want the pain to continue. I guess I just need to wait and see what he says.

Struggling

Well, it’s going OK I think. We’ve only had green days so far; we are having a red day tomorrow. We’ve been eating lots of pasta. In fact, I’ve just made Cannelloni. It was made with spinach, basil, garlic, eggs and quark. It was actually really nice.

I’ve been quite hungry, which I shouldn’t have been as I’ve been eating loads, all I can guess is that it’s psychological and it’ll settle soon. I swear, if I haven’t lost any weight when I go back on Thursday, I’ m gonna be gutted.

Tomorrow will be bacon, eggs, tomatoes and quorn sausages for brekkie, salad for lunch and then roast beef with veggies tomorrow night. I know it sounds really unhealthy, but it’s all part of the plan; it says it in the book!!

It’s just really hard to decide what to have and what we’re allowed to have. Do you know how easy it would be just to give up completely? And to top it all off, my mum, who KNOWS we’re doing this, came round today with a cake, and then I felt really bad when I told her that I couldn’t keep it and that she should take it home with her.

I know hubby is finding it really hard, and I know if I say I want to give up, then he’ll be right behind me, so I’m trying to break the back of it.
