Daiquiria's Diary- Green Days

Edit- 26/06/14

So changed my diary title- eek!- very excited that I am expecting my 3rd LO sometime around Christmas ! I have been on sw for the past 3.5 years since having my first and I'm hoping now that I am approaching the end of the first trimester (and all the nausea that brings...) that I can try and get on track and keep any gains down. I did sw on and off through my second preg (mostly off ) but I do think sw helps me eat the healthiest diet I can.

Hope you'll all help me along the way! x

Weigh In Day

SoI weighed in this korning. Last Sunday I was 133.8 lbs. This morning I was......


129.8 lbs!!!!!

That's 4 lbs in one week.

I am chuffed but slightly dubious lol. Really didn't think I would lose anything like that, especially when I'm not aiming to lose that much. I definitely noticed the difference in my clothes from even the middle of the week. Jeans that had been getting a little ahem, snug, were fitting properly again. But anyway time will tell, it could be a bit of a fluke and next week is * week. But this has def given me a bit of motivation!

Had a lovely day with my boys though, although we are all a bit under the weather. Mother's day was always going to be my cheat day but the list above is excessive, and shameful when you see it in black and white. However, I have been good for the most part and everyone has the odd bad day. Just so long as it is only the odd day!

Breakfast- Slice wm bread, lc blue cheese, quorn ham

I have to say after yesterday's excesses I feel a little rough today. I didn't sleep well and am so sluggish- that'll teach me to overindulge.
