Beelishy's VLCD Weight Loss Adventure!!

and half a pbj&banana sandwich. But, I feel sick now. So hopefully thats me back on plan. I had a mini-binge the night of MILs funeral tooo and it made me SO SICK. I went straight back on plan 100% the next day! haha. Im certainly no longer craving anything. gaaag.
 
Kept myself busy all morning and just having my first lot of pancakes and a coffee now (12:53!). I added a bit too much water for my liking but oh well. lol. I think this is rge latest Ive ever managed to put off my 1st pack! lol. I just need to get through the next few days and then i should be back to being 100% with no problems or cravings! Im not prepared to undo all of my hard work so....gotta stick with it! :) So far so good!
 
So far so good. We had a nap and now its about dinner time. Ive got chips in the oven for them and will have my pancakes. Ive just had another coffee. Havent had a single thing outside of my pancakes and coffees and water. Thats it! Need to get through tonight. Which Im sure I will. I feel fine with it. :) Phew!


And of course T has passed her cold to her little sister. Oh man :/
 
Morning.

Its Sunday which means...weigh in! 249.4 - which is FINE. because I had worked myself all the way back up to 252 with my week off (pretty much!) and Thats 3lbs of it off and me back in the 240s. Whew. And i was 100% yesterday and will be 100% today as well. Back on track, methinks. Yay!


My kids are sick again. Again.

Something has to be done. I just dont know what..... :(
 
Poor kiddies :( I remember both of mine with constant ear infections etc at that age, but found by the time they started school their immune systems were pretty tough and they have hardly been sick since. Hard for mummy though!!

Back in the 240s yay
 
Its 3:30 and Im just having my second pack now. Ive also decided to try and get some Slim and Save spag bol and chilli con carne ( those are the only two savoury ones i really like) because Im getting bored of sweet all the time. Ive plugged it all into MFP and it comes out perfectly within range if I have my two porridges plus a spag bol for tea OR my two porridges plus a chilli con carne (and I can even add a bit of cauliflower..up to 200g)...so Im off to see if I can find some kickin' about. :)
 
After nearly 2 full days of NOTHING but pancakes, I got ravenous while making dinner. :( I think it was the fact that ive had FOOD in my face pretty much ALL DAY. I had to do the food shop (even though I buy ZERO food for myself other than eggs and almond milk!? Hows that fair? pah!) and then I came home and had to make everyone lunch. Real, proper food, for lunch! PAH! And then we all had a nap and I had only had one pack so I was feeling bleh and hungry by about 3:30 so I got up (even though I hadnt actually slept!) and made my 2nd pack of pancakes. And then a couple of hours later...its dinner time and these peeheads I live with actually expected me to make them MORE FOOD! lol. And of course T only eats sandwiches and chips. So I made her some chips in the oven. Which smellt fab! And sandwich with the uber soft bread! And then hot dogs for Z and hubby.

Seriously I was saying OUT LOUD "dont eat biscuits. Just WAIT for tea. You can have a pack in a minute. Just get theirs done first. DONT ruin your hard work. DONT DONT DONT"

So I served them all their dinner and then I came in and worked out on MFP what my daily totals would be if i had scrambled eggs (3) with mushrooms, a slice of tesco cheapy cheese slices and a tbpsn of ketchup. Its taken my totals to 817 cals and 48 carbs. A bit higher on cals that i should be, really. But its fine. It was that...or BINGE. I will have a coffee in about an hour. But I am well and truly stuffed. And I feel satisfied!

And Ive gotten myself about 10 of each spag bol and chilli. So as soon as those come i will be sorted! I feel a tiiiiiny bit guilty for not being TECHNICALLY 100% but I also feel a tiiiiny bit of pride in the fact that I didnt completely blow it! The scales will tell tomorrow, I suppose. :| lol
 
Monday, Mondayyyyy. And after my little egg meal...

down another 1.5lbs - 248.0! So Im juuuust about back to where I was pre-off plan days. Whew! Hopefully tomorrow or Wednesday. And Im hoping to see 245 by WI on Sunday! xx

We are going to be mega busy today. I have an appointment at 9 to have a little wart on me finger sorted out (ugh. so gross!) and then I will come home and get the girls ready and then we are off out to Asda on the bus. The girls need winter coats and Zoe needs some 18-24 mos clothes. They have a mcdonalds there and as that is tabbys FAVE we will have lunch after we do our shopping. Ive already put into MFP a chicken salad with balsamic and its well within the cals/carbs of a pack (a bit under in carbs anyway) so thats perfect. My main issue today will be getting my water down. I will do the best I can. I really want to be back at 247 or less tomorrow if at all possible. Then...a pack for dinner tonight. :)

Have a nice day all :)
 
Well. of course they didnt have salads so I had....

ONE chicken nugget. And then i went off back into asda to get a coke zero. and to get me away from the yummy smells. It was torture. lol But i resisted. I dont actually know HOW I did. But I did.

So hubby feels mega guilty and is now suggesting that we use our day tickets for the bus to go into Newcastle for dinner at Nandos. Ive added the avocado salad into MFP and its taken my totals to 787 cals and 47 carbs. So its do-able. Ive had 2 packs and would omit the last one. I dunno. We'll see. Either way, Im really pleased with myself. :)
 
Well done for resisting. It's hard when it's something you like.

Sorry to be a thicko - can I ask what MFP is? :)

Hope you're having a nice day xx
 
Morning!!

Yesterday was a disater from sun up to sun down (and beyond!).

So I resisted the McDonalds, right? And then hubby said we were going to go to Nandos for dinner since he felt so guilty AND we had a voucher for a free chicken anyway. Yeah. So we got home after the Asda/McD's trip and put the kids down for a nap. Then around 4 we got T up and got them both dressed and ready. All was fine. Out we go to wait for the bus. All is fine. Get on the bus. Fine. Get about 5 minutes away from town on the bus and BAM!- Zoe barfs ALL over her, me and her stroller. And the bus floor. Niiiiiiice. So we get off the bus, go straight into M&S (the bus station is literally on its back door step so it was the closest shop!) bought her some new clothes, went into the baby change room (which, thankfully was a decent size and very adequate for cleaning us both up) and cleaned her and me and the buggy up as best we could....and then we got straight back on the bus and came home! She had thrown up again during the cleaning up session but didnt throw up again until after we had been home for about an hour....and she hasnt been sick since. She's had about 210 mls of sugar free still strawberry water, a little bit of banana and a bite (literally ONE little nibbly bite) of a Ritz cracker. Shes currently bolting around the living room, "talking" and playing. She seems much better (although still has her cold, of course) but time will tell I guess. So after that ordeal, we got home and we (except Zoe) were ALL starving. it was after 7pm by the time we got in and settled and we were ravenous so I caved and told the hubs I was ordering from the pizza shop and what did he want. I didnt really want to blow it so I ordered a chicken kebab with salad instead of chips (but both sauces...its my weakness) and hubs had a chicken kebab with chips and T had chips. I poured the salad in a bowl, had ONE little bite of the pita bread before giving it to the hubby and stole ONE of his chips...and then just cut up my chicken bits, put that on top of the salad and put a little of each sauce on the top, mixed it all up and ate it like a salad. lol. It was FRIGGIN GORGEOUS. And....Im down PAST my lowest weight of 247.4 -

This morning, the scales said 246.4! :D Woo. *happy dance* I was panicked this morning and I kept thinking to myself "as long as its not above 250 its ok." cuz i KNEW I had gained. Nope. lol. Whew! Best not tempt fate though and will definitely not make that a regular occurrence but I WILL be having that again soon(ish). When I break the 240s and hit 239 maybe LOLOL!

So that was my day yesterday. Today is looking better thus far...although I dont want to count my chickens before they hatch. Its bright and sunny and proper autumnal like back home - a bit breezy/windy, cool but still plenty warm enough to manage with just a long sleeved tshirt and bright sunshiney. LOVE it. I wish it was like this for longer. :D

Have a great day all :) xx
 
Aw hope your wee one continues to be ok. You did well just to have a wee nibble and stay in control. When I'm stressed I want eat cause I feel like I deserve a treat. So well done x
 
I do too. And I just kept PICTURING THE SCALES and it seemed to work. I am so tired of battling and I have quite a LONG way to go, that I just want it to be done. The longer i delay myself getting to goal, the longer I will have to live on packs. HAHA. So I decided to just do the best I could and get on with it. I had a bite of pita and a single chip and said "right there, ive had my bits of those. thats enough" and it actually worked. Usually i would have kept going...diet or not! I think I was jus so tired and felt so...put-upon. LOL. I actually decided to go with the BETTEr choice...kinda like ripping of a plaster. Not the best and you dont really look forward to it, but the quicker its over..the better. Same with the diet. Its a bit painful and uncomfy so just want to get it over with as quick as i can! hahahahahaha.

Zoe seems to be better this morning...thankfully. Now if both my girls could just get rid of their colds.....all would be well in beelishy's world. LOL!

How is everyone getting on? xx
 
Im glad that zoe is feeling much better this morning, bless her. What a day you had, it sounded dreadful. Well done on resisting the temptations, you did so well. Im always catching the pizza guy delivering around our creasant and everytime i see him it teases me, but i have to stay strong. WE have to stay strong! I hope you have a better day today. No more take outs!! it will be worth it in the end x
 
Well done on your salad and on your weight loss. It's so nice to see the scales dropping!!
What an ordeal bless you. The poor little poppet, I hope she's ok and gets better soon.

Thanks for clarifying the MFP too. Marie gave me info too so I shall check it out.
I like plans and forums and things as it helps keep me on track!!

Xx
