*deep breath* my journey to a thinner / healthier me

I'm waiting for Chris to go to work, then I'm going to tackle the cupboards and then settle down to work on the wedding invitations I think, I might include a soak in the bath again depending on how I feel and spend the night on the sofa watching movies :D

I think tomorrow is going to be a case of making lists for monday as to what's going to go in each case, finding chargers, travel adaptors and getting all of the travel documents together (passports, seat booking confirmation).

I don't think Chris is going to be too impressed with me because I want to try and get through everything that we have in the fridge and freezer on the off chance that we have a power cut or something as I don't want loads of food going to waste. And the week that we go I'm going to be just buying the fruit that I want on the actual day that I want it, because I'm awful for getting too much in and I just know I'll never get through it all :giggle:

EDIT** and I've decided that for the next 2 weeks weigh in is going to be on a wednesday so that I can weigh myself the day before we go. It means I'll have to take my scales to mums, but the closer an idea I have of what I weigh when we leave, the more idea of what I'll be aiming to be when we get back :D So, no weigh in on monday, just wednesday next week and the 2 weeks afterwards, then I'll switch back to fridays when we get back
 
Just popping through to say hi, love your planning! :) that's deffo one thing I'm hoping to do this week, so I'm not as tempted for bad food. Not long til your hols eh, how exciting!! X

Good Morning, have a fantastic Monday :D
 
Morning everyone, I have a confession to make. I had a bit of a binge this weekend, just totally the wrong stuff and comfort ate. A friend of mine has just gotten pregnant and while I'm super happy for her and wouldn't change it for the world, I felt a bit eugh that it's not been my turn yet, and I just did the stupidest thing and ate, and you know what? It didn't even make me feel any better, not even in the slightest :cry:

The only person I'm letting down is myself and I keep doing it time and time again. And the daft thing is that if I'd stuck to plan 100% I bet I'd be very close to 3 stone goal that I had for turkey, if not past it. I'm fed up of the excuses and the feeling I get when it comes to weigh in, when at the beginning I was totally excited and really focused, I need to find that enthusiasm again.

So I'm looking at yet another gain on wednesday, really not sure how much of this I can take, but it's not going to stop me from trying. I'm going back to extra easy days as I knew where I was with them and I just found it so much easier as meat does fill me up a lot more, but sometimes I like having pasta with it.

So food for today

Brekkie - banana, strawberries, grapes and blueberries with muller light
Snack - weetabix and milk (hexb and hexa)
Lunch - chilli con carne
Snack - strawberries
Dinner - pork steak, cous cous (1.5 syns), and cherry tomatos
Snack - cous cous (1.5 syns), 2 ryvita (3.5 syns) and 2 teaspoons of nutella (8 syns)
Syns - 14.5

I'm really going to focus today, and if I don't stick to plan 100% then I think I'm going to have to look at a different way around this (though I have no idea what yet) as I'm not going to give up, I'm determined not to do that.

Emily I could of wrote that post it's exactly how I've been the past couple of weeks , and the baby situation aswel , I'm trying but each month is a dissapointment,
 
Aww Emily. Don't beat yourself up about your weekend binge. It's understandable and I feel for you, I really do. Just remember you losing weight will help the chances of you becoming a mummy. I really hope it happens soon.

As for food, you have to do what works for you. How about cooking a roast chicken then you can use left over meet for snacking and other meals like with pasta? I'm glad I did that yesterday because it was so tasty and quite filling.

Keep drinking lots and keep positive. You can do this! X

:bighug:Oh Em you can get back to this but I know how difficult it must be wish mixed up emotions after your friends news. Hard to not think "this should be me" and be a bit jealous but if you keep the losses going no matter how long it takes you'll get to that stage too. The binge is over with here's a line I've drawn for you______________________________________ and rmember you can do this. Just keep going doing the best you can each day and it will all fall back into place eventually. I'm the proof of that with my pretty much 100% week still not sure syns in the cake I have on Saturday or for that matter my chilli last night but I didn't let it throw me, and as I 've been low on syns on some days I'm writing off any extras over the w/end in my weekly total.

Chin Up hun you'll get there you really will. :D
 
Thanks :bighug:

Really focusing today, I didn't fancy chilli con carne so when we were out I got the things for a prawn salad, which is sooooooo yummy :drool: And I got a pot of pineapple for in the car on the way back :)

I'm also going to make some ragu pasta bakes in a bit ready to freeze and I think I might attempt the lamb kofta meatballs from one of my slimming world books, try some new things and see if it helps my focus :D
 
Em, I am sorry that you have been feeling down. you should have come on here and we would have talked you out of binging. However, that has passed and you seem to be on top of it today. Stay positive and you get there. I know it is hard sometime to imagine ourselves getting there but by chipping away, it will eventually come off. I used to be the same and as soon as something upset me, I would turn to food but not any more. I try my hardest not to think about food and busy myself with something else.

As for babies, your turn will come soon. Just be patient and you get there.

Please please next time, when you get to a binging mood, come on here and we help and chat to you so you'd forget about it.

Have a ovely day. The sun has come out here now. I am cleaning and packing to go away for a few weeks. But I will be on here a couple of times a day so if you need help shout.

Big hug.

Excellent planning. You're getting your mojo back for sure. :D Feel free to join the 100% challenge a few of us are doing if you think it will help. :D
 
What's the 100% challenge?

I've made the pasta bakes and had a bit of pasta and sauce left over so have had that as a mid afternoon snack rather than reaching for silly stuff just for the sake of it :D

I've finished packing Chris' case almost and it's on 8 kg exactly, which means he still has 7kg left over that he can use (and he's got all the toiletries, sun cream, plug adaptors and after sun) :woohoo: Plenty of space in there for if I want to put a few extra bits in or do some shopping before we come back. All that needs going in is the usb adaptor plug that we'll use to charge the kindle and my camera with and then the cables for them both. I just need to order him a super bright luggage strap so that he can tell his case apart from everyone else's at the carousel as it's just a plain black one.

Now I just need to attempt to tackle mine :eek:

For me it started a week ago exactly. I was saying in my diary that I just couldn't seem to be good at night and that although I was good during the day I lapsed come evening and was eating too much and not all of it was healthy. Anyway Ally89 said she'd been 100% for 3 days and I should join her so ever up for a challenge I said yes. No team or anything just sort of between us and egging each other on. Anyway Lily then joined and now Mariavon so it's gaining momentum each time. I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised by the impact it has had on me as the only times I may have gone over were ewhen I've been out and I've made proper choices of an evening myself cos I didn't want to break the challenge.

So are you up for it. :D:D:D
 
I messed up, well not entirely, but it means I won't be having ryvita and nutella tonight :giggle: I decided to have a portion of the ragu pasta bake for dinner and totally forgot about the hexa of cheese :8855:

I can still keep it 100% if I skip the evening snack or choose something free :D

Oh and yeah, I'm in

Well.done.hun.for.getting back.on.the wagon. You have had lots of great support and feedback and I know myself I have been where you are. You can do this. Every plan works but you are the one that makes it work. Keep up.the planning and remember one bad meal does not mean the week is lost so take it a day at a time. X
