Thank you daisy.

 

[Becktoria79]

No I think I'm wrong! Never mind, it's only quorn! Could be worse!

 

[sarah88]

Can I gave a reward chart for the exercise?? I like that idea, what will ur treat b?

 

[Becktoria79]

I've not decided on my reward yet Sarah. I want to try not to make it a food reward, so maybe a magazine or book or something. I need 12 stickers to claim it. My 3 targets are stick to 26pp til Friday, go to gym and to do some knitting so that I finish off this blanket! That's not a hard target, I thought I'd give myself a nice one too!

Ok have stuck to dailies only again today

Day 3 26pp 0 weeklies

B- porridge and plums-4pp

S- lucozade revive-1pp
Chocolates-8pp
Banana

Looks like a good day Becks..I'm really feeling the reward chart..might copy the idea myself if that's ok :0)

 

[icklerockchick]

Reward chart sounds fab I love stickers! x

 

[Becktoria79]

Aye copy away! I only bought it cos it was so kitsch and matches other stationary I've bought from there. It's aimed at kids but is very 80's in a my little pony/care bear way. Makes me smile to look at it! I think reward chart visual is quite a cool idea though, although I'm sure I'm getting more and more in the asd spectrum the longer I do this job as its the kind of thing we put in place for our kids!

Speaking of which, the little darlings are in today! Usually we have a couple of days of calm then it erupts, so my bets are that Thirsday will be the day that I'll be whinging on here that I NEED chocolate! Haha!

I have started the day with a galaxy bubbles hot choc. I think this is the best 40 cal hot choc I've tried, it's almost the same as normal galaxy instant hot choc, really creamy but very frothy. I recommend it, think it will be handy to have in for chocolate cravings.

Today's plan-

B- porridge and plums
L- chicken and avocado pitta I didn't eat yesterday
T- honey mustard chicken tray bake

Aiming for NO choc or sweeties today, must build up my will power!

 

[bulldogdaisy]

Thanks about the reward idea :0)
Sounds like you have some cool notebooks!
Hope all goes well in work today and good luck with the choc/sweets resisting..just don't be too hard on yourself :0)

 

[icklerockchick]

Mmm must try the galaxy bubbles hot choc. Hope your first proper day back with the kids goes well x

Foods looking good beck, ur 3 targets sound great! Good luck for thursday, I reckon elisha will b similar, give her a couple days till she gets tired then all hell brakes loose! :-/

I reckon it's best to find a non food treat too! We gotta get out of the habit of treating ourselves with food!

 

[sarah88]

And hot chocolate sounds tasty, I might go back to a hot choc in the evening now! Thanks beck!

 

[Becktoria79]

Yeah the hot chocs really good. School was good. Hard, but good. Seems some off them have started kicking off already but not my class, this year my class are Angels! I will teach some of the tougher ones soon but right now we are in form groups only.

Been a weird day for food, I've had no breakfast or lunch as time been short and when time has been available I've just not fancied anything. I've picked up and ate 2 haribos and 6 mint crisp chocolate things throughout the day! I'll count it as 6pp. I should eat Sonething now though. My intention tonight was to get in and clean then gym but now I just want to close my eyes. I'll do the cleaning but no gym.

 

[Becktoria79]

Aargh I'm in so much conflict! Part of me is thinking can't I just start properly next week? Because ive not eaten throughout the day I'm having huge snack attack and just wanna get crap in to eat for tea. The rest of me is thinking I need to be good. Just so wiped out tonight! First week back is always like this but I need to make more effort.

Im a little bit like that beck, but the prob is if we keep saying I'll start next wk , I'll start next wk, we won't get very far! I do understand totally how u feel, like I've been so good all day done my exercise, ate well and now the chocolate brownie tray from m&s is staring at me everytime I open the fridge and it's like get a grip but then on the other hand my new wk starts Fri! Sorry if I'm not much help?!

 

[bulldogdaisy]

Don't be hard on yourself Becks,first day back with the children..start when you are ready..pressure does not help! Organise what you can meal wise and take things from there,maybe clean one day and do gym the next so it doesn't feel like a lot to do in one day :0)

 

[Atomic pink]

Sounds like very hectic day and never good when you don't have time to eat. Is there some compromise you could come to for dinner? That will satisfy the urge to treat yourself but not feel like you have blown the plan completely? You have done really well sticking to daily pps for the last couple of days so you should definitely be proud of yourself for that and not beat yourself up if you do go for a treat-y option for dinner.

I am loving the sound of your stationary! Paper chase is probably my favourite shop on the world, I have a bit of a stationary fetish. I have hundreds of notebooks all over the house so need to be even more restrained with my stationary shopping than my clothes shopping! I do like the idea of the reward chart though - I am a sucker for writing "to do" lists all the time because I really like the tangible satisfaction of ticking something off when I have done it. A sticker would be even better!

 

[Becktoria79]

Well guys thanks for your support and I think I've done not bad. I've come to sainsburys which is a 20 min walk. I have managed to resist all treats except I have got myself a punnet of grapes. I got a ww frozen meal as I just can't face cooking, it's only 6pp. My treat- that I'm not counting - and sipping in the cafe as I wait for boyf in the gym is an apple tango. I think given the amount of yummy cakes in front of me this is quite good! I want to stay on plan but I'm growing frustrated with the lack of 'proper' eating I've done the last 3 days. I get so cross with myself when I skip meals. And eating crap is not good. I'm gonna do a cursory clean of the kitchen when I get in then eat my grapes in bed watching the great British bake off!

Atomic, i'm terrible for notebooks, I have great plans for all of them but after a couple of pages they get discarded in favour of one with a more attractive cover!

 

[Atomic pink]

Sounds like you have done really really well. And I love Apple Tango, its not that bad for calories either for a non-diet drink as I remember.

I used to be very much like that with notebooks but I have been more disciplined over the last two years to try and use up all my notebooks that I had laying around. I may possibly have written more lists than usual in order to do this more quickly to allow further stationary shopping...
