Well ladies . . . . . . . That's it day 14 over that's 14 days 100% SS with not a single cheat.
As you know its my second weigh in tomorrow at 11am, I'm excited as I know I've stuck to plan but as I weigh daily I know roughly what my loss will be and its not a great 2nd week loss BUT I also know I've stuck to plan and what doesn't show this week ( as I'm due my TOTM ) will show next week.
Going to stick with my plan and avoid The bars, I'm in quite a good routine with water etc so I feel as though I'm cruising along nicely, just need the days to tick by lol
Constantly on here reading and lurking or on twitter & ********* all for motivation & encouragement.
Going to make a list of products for the week, I'm also getting 2 tubs of the Veg water flavouring to make a change from Tea and also a meals in minuets book which my CDC has on offer and will help me to future plan.
I've always known ( as documented in my previous diary ) that carbs are my down fall so planning is key to my future.
Thankfully I love lots of protein rich items such as eggs, wet fish & prawns along with tinned Tuna & chicken which all look to be my future diet stables once I'm where I want to be. I suspect like most my problem is without a doubt that I tend to go for the easy option and grab junk and processed foods as they are the fastest options. I'm the type of person to buy fresh but chopped veg for my slow cooker for family meals ( life's to short to chop a onion ) That's the other strange thing, I have no issue with prepping meals for the family and cooking for them BUT when it comes to me I always tell myself I don't have time to prepare lunch for work plus I know we have excess food for 1st class which we can nibble on so its not a necessity to take anything.
Unfortunately on one of my services we do afternoon tea which as you can imagine is no good for anyone's waist line. Since I started with my company my skirt has gone from a 16 ( small fit & 12 years ago ) to as big as a 24 although currently I can squeeze into a 20. At the moment getting back into a 16 is a dream it is however a dream I know I will make come true very soon
Prepping & planning is going to have to be part of my new routine once I get to The food stage. Hence buying the meals book already, the sooner I start to get my head around what I can & can't have the easier I will adjust when the time comes.
Some people struggle on SS but for me this is by far the easiest part, in fact for me its a no brainer . . . . . . . . I know in order to she'd the lbs I only NEED my 3 products and plenty water. I don't have a issue with this but put food in the equation and I'm a lost cause / WAS a lost cause, the new me is as I say going to plan and prep.
I know its not that easy, I know that all very well from my last successful journey BUT in my defence I seriously believe if we hadn't have went to Vegas on honeymoon and I didn't have such a HUGE gain whilst there I may have found it easier to move up the steps but after 6 months 100% on plan SS with the occasional SS+ meal my honeymoon was one almighty blow out , not just for me but also for US for me & my hubby so we could enjoy meals together like any normal married couple.
This time its about making choices . . . . . . I have Dec almost fully booked with trips away so I'm already planning what is the best way to approach them all. I will be 100% on some and not 100% on others, By Dec I will be a couple of stone from goal all being well so I need to prioritise life. I had already set my target at the start to be 11.13 by April 2015 and even with a few
" planned " breaks in Dec I WILL still be at goal for my holiday with Hubby.
This will be our 3rd visit to The Dominican in the past few years and whilst they are used to curvy ladies I WANT to feel comfortable on the flight. I want to go to the AI restaurants and choose the healthy options, the hard work is already done there for me as its all prepped and cooked, no excuse ! There are maybe 7 on the complex so plenty of temptation but also plenty of great healthy nutritious food along side of the not so good.
I'm aware I'm rambling again, Just sitting with my own thoughts with so much going around in there and having already re gained the weight once it is NOT something I will allow myself to do again !
Anyway like I say enough for this evening, I shall update my results tomorrow at weigh in,
I started wanting to loose 70 lb
Currently need to loose 59 lb
And fingers crossed tomorrow that will be even less I have 26 weeks until my holiday
