awww bless - finally logged back in this morning to find lots of messages from all of you which is a lovely way to start my week
Well that was a bug and a half - it literally knocked me off my feet for 5 days and I'm still coughing like crazy and getting no sleep all night because of it. My ears have that whole underwater feeling where they keep popping and then going deaf again at the moment and its driving me insane - but at least its on its way out now. I finally managed to get up long enough to go to the football on Saturday evening and also made it out of the house to go buy some thermal tops yesterday as I'm freezing but other than that its been pretty much me + my sofa + a duvet for the week. I have no idea what I've eaten as its just been whatever has been in the house and I've had no real appetite - unfortunately mainly carb based such as packs of rice or cuppa soups etc so I'm not looking forward to getting on the scales on Tuesday evening - plus I not only had a chicken pie at the football on Saturday due to it being a weird start time but then had a portion of chips when we got back as well as by then I'd barely eaten all week and was suddenly really hungry. Oh well - with any luck the scales will be kind and if I've regained it will only be what I lost last week and I can hit a STS. I think I'll be damn lucky though knowing how much my body reacts against the carb heavy foods even if I wasn't eating much of them.
I'm back to work today and trying to eat healthily again - although there is no food in my house! - but I've given up on tracking for now as I can't really plan what I'm having too well so I'm just going with good quality healthy food and worry about it again from Wednesday when I go and fill the cupboards back up.
I need to lose as much as I can between now and Sunday though! Next week is going to be a nightmare dietwise - I have my parents here from Sunday evening, Monday we will be out all day and then have the West Ham game in the evening, Tuesday will be out with them and my nephews for the day so probably eating out, Wednesday will be my birthday so going to Paris for the day and eating there which will mean breakfast on the train, lunch in Paris and dinner probably either at the station or on the train back - although might get some casserole stuff and leave it in the slow cooker for when we get back. Thursday I need to drop them at the airport and then my friend has booked me in for a manicure at lunchtime as my birthday present so that will be a grab it wherever lunch. Friday I'm going to an Andy Warhol exhibition with another friend so it'll be Subway for lunch (not too bad) and then she wants to take me to Wagamammas that evening. Then on the Saturday I will be having formal afternoon tea with another bunch of friends before heading off for the fireworks in the evening which will probably mean grabbing a burger or hot dog or similar there. I could regain my entire weight loss in the space of one week!!!!
It'll be worth it though
So without worrying about my points the plan for today is...
Breakfast
Boiled egg x 2
WW bread toasted x 2
Lunch
Remains of a tub of Marks chicken, mushroom and rice soup
Gluten free crispbreads
Dinner
Weight Watchers microwave meal
I have a whole load of satsumas in the fridge that have been there over a week now so will munch on those during the day if I need to - I feel a lot better for doubling up on the boiled eggs this morning rather than just having my normal one but I'm stuffed already and my appetite really isn't fully back still so we'll see how it goes.
