A yummy (and happier and healthier) mummy - for good this time!

Hey girls!
Hope you are all well.

Hen do was great!! Had a morning of pampering- got my hair and nails done with my bridesmaids and it was lovely to have some time with just the four of us before we went for lunch and met up with the rest of the hens (including my mum and auntie).
After lunch and playing some games (Mr & Mrs was good- i was impressed by how much i knew!) we went to cocktail making with a butler in the buff (HOT!!!) Was so much fun.
Then off to a couple of clubs afterwards. Home by 3am...

So Saturdays food consisted of loads of booze and a fish pie (my lunch)!

I felt it on Sunday a little though- felt rough and tired for most of the day!

Sundays food was marmite on WM toast (with spread), some mini eggs and a medium pizza hut!

Monday i wanted an easter egg so i allowed myself one (which was 24syns!) and my normal syn allowance.
Did loads of running around at the park and the garden though!

Mondays food (EE day)-
B: Nothing.
L: 25g philadelphia light 2syns on 60g WM toast hexB. Yogurt. Skips 4syns. Banana.
D: Chicken and chorizo gnocchi (250g gnocchi 4.5syns, 50g chorizo 3.5syns, onions, chilli, tinned tomatoes and chicken breast)

Snacks: Mango. Yogurt. Satsuma.
Drinks: 2 x cups of tea ( sweetener and skimmed milk 1syn) Pepsi max. Flavoured fizzy water.
Syn Total- 15syns (plus an easter egg!)
 
Yesterday i was back on plan though- finding it hard to stay on plan though and things are tempting me a lot more than before... Assuming its because my wedding is 11(!!!!) days away so i have so much other stuff going on right now!!

Yesterdays food (green day)-
B: Nothing.
L: Cheese and tomato sandwich (60g WM bread hexB1, 2 x laughing cow light triangles 2.5syns and tomato). Satsuma. Banana. Skips 4syns.

Drinks: Starbucks medium skinny caramel latte (skimmed milk hexA2 and SF syrup) Water. Pepsi max cherry.
Syn Total- 13syns

Tried the new Jaffa cake alpen light bars today- YUM!!
 
Hi Lisa, the hen do sounds like it was so fun! Hope you're doing okay. :)
 
Hi ladies!!

I am so sorry i haven't been on here lately :( Ive been so bogged down with last minute wedding prep that i havent had any spare time.

And I've been terribly off plan since my hen- due to nerves and anxiety I've barely eaten but what has passed my lips hasnt been Sw friendly!!

But the day is here!!! I get married TODAY!!!

And its half 4, I've only been asleep for 3 hours but i just cant switch off- im sure the adrenaline will get me through the day!

Will be back next week to catch up on diaries and post some pics ;) Wish me luck!!
 
Hey ladies :)

Will be back with food etc next week- dreading weighing myself as i haven't been on plan since before the wedding.

Just wanting to rant a little- feeling so deflated. I had a wonderful wedding but it didnt go exactly to plan and i hate that im looking back with a twinge of disappointment.
Reece screamed almost the entire way through the ceremony- he was hungry and I'd packed him snacks but noone thought to give them to him. My in-laws were late due to a taxi not showing up. I felt self-conscious in my dress... I didnt eat any of my wedding breakfast as i was so tired i felt ill- plus i was nervous for my dad as he was terrified about making a speech. I didnt get any proper photos of us and Reece as a family because my mum put him to bed early. Hardly anyone danced to the disco. Hubbys family looked pretty miserable most of the evening tbh. The venue didn't set up some of the things like I'd asked (no lawn games or giant jenga) A few of our friends left straight after the wedding breakfast and a lot of evening guests didnt even show up!

Is it normal to have this many disappointments or feel like this? Im kinda dreading my wedding photos due to not having the ones with us and Reece... We spent so much money and time on it and i just feel deflated :( I cant talk to anyone about it- even hubby as he wanted it to be perfect for us and i dont want to argue with him.
 
Apparently post-nuptial depression is a common thing.

Best thing to do is a list of things that made my wedding great-

Here goes:
I married my best friend. And i got a new piece of sparkly jewellery that i adore (my ring obvs!) The weather was beautiful (although a little windy!) Everyone said the food (both wedding breakfast and evening buffet) was delicious. My new little niece sang beautifully. The look on my dads face when he saw me in my dress and walked me down the isle- i felt proud that he felt so proud. Hubbys vows were amazing and i almost cried. MIL did cry. As did my mum (although she went to her room and did it privately.) People didnt seem to mind that Reece screamed during the ceremony- the main pictures we will have with him are when we carried him as we exited the ceremony. My nan cried during our first dance. And i got to dance with my dad. And my new nieces- who also looked amazing as flowergirls. I feel even closer to my maid of honour and my cousins who were bridesmaids. The best man speech. My personalised wedding cake toppers. The children's goodie packs- all the parents commented on how brilliant and useful they were. I saw some friends who i haven't seen in a couple of years- they made the effort to come. Our guests were incredibly generous with their gifts- meaning we had an amazing 5 night honeymoon in Rome and some money left over. My photographers were great- lovely people and our guests actually asked if they were our friends as we got on so well with them. I didnt fall, faint, trip, puke or anything else during the ceremony. Neither did hubby!
 
Hey Lisa! Good to hear from you :) not to worry about being off plan! You're good at getting back on track! Felt sad reading your first post :-( there's bound to be some niggles though! Hopefully as time passes you'll forget the minor bits and look back on all the good bits! I think its a fantastic idea to have a photoshoot with Reece too- it will be really special and you won't have all the wedding worries, but can still feel part of your wedding experience as its guests gifts that have made it happen?
It sounds like you were a really thoughtful bride and I'm disappointed some people weren't so thoughtful in return. Hope you had a brilliant time in Rome! Would love to see any snaps if you want to share xxx
 
Hi Lisa - hope you had a lovely honeymoon. I definitely remember being annoyed about a couple of things on my wedding day as not everything went to plan but nothing ever does but 10 years later (lol coming up to 11 this year) I don't remember what most of them were and only remember the good thing about the day and I am sure it will be the same for you with time. Your good things list is lovely and I'm sure the extra photos will help - if you don't do that maybe you can see if anyone took nice photos. My main annoyance from mine was that the official photographer didn't take any photos of our handfasting ceremony because he didn't really see the point as it wasn't the legal ceremony (Our official photographer was my great uncle who did the photos as a wedding present - he also did my parents wedding and from the outside our wedding albums look identical bless) but even ten years ago so many people had their own digital cameras and had taken lots of lovely photos so we had those which made it okay. It also meant that we had lots of reception photo despite the one of my dad's pikey friends went round the tables and took all the disposable cameras we'd left out so he didn't have to buy any for his holidays!!! (In retrospect I am still a little annoyed about that - I didn't even want to invite him in the first place haha)
 
Just a quick pop in to confess my weight as i restart SW...

Im pretty ashamed that after a month off i allowed myself to go so off the rails- i was scoffing crumpets (i had a whole 6 pack yesterday...), chocolate, pastries, crisps and a whole lot of cake :(

I kept some SW values (no butter on toast/ sandwiches, minimal oil and SW chips!) but i was eating for the sake of it once I was home.

Im not going to be super strict this time round- allowing myself a cheat day if i need one and im going to use my syns if i need them.

But the damage is im now back up to 12st 8.5lb!!!
