- Start date
Woke up yesterday morning and went for a little shopping, when we came back I had 2 slices of wholemeal toast with 2 trimmed grilled rashers of bacon and a boiled egg.
Went up the club and drank lots of vodka, and I ate one packet of cheese and onion crisps.
Still up the club in the evening as there was a hypnotist on, so I ate 1 chicken salad roll and that was it. Nothing else to eat, not a good day.
Woke up hungover this morning (serves me right)
Breakfast - 3 rashers of bacon, fat removed.
Snack - 1 banana, 2 plums.
Dinner - Shepherds pie and cabbage.
Snack - 9 squares of cadburys Turkish Delight (well I am going to Turkey in 11 days lol)
Dont know whats for supper, but probably oatcakes and cheese, or something similar.

I dont know if its excitement with the holiday coming up, but I just dont feel hungry - and I have just nibbled those nine squares of chocolate, but I will have something else later on for supper, so will see how hungry I am later on.
At least I am back to work tomorrow and I have 3 good meals on those days lol, but I dont intend to work every day for life to eat better......lol.
Thanks Tanya.

No, I have maintained my weight since April, well actually lost about 4lbs since then.
if you only started re-feeding last Thursday then you shouldnt be eating fat on the meat, wine gums, and crackers.
1 yogurt and wine gums is not a healthy lunch either - you need to eat more than this.
You need to follow the re-feed to the letter to avoid gaining the way you are doing, the glycogen stores need to fill up by following the diet properly, thus avoiding any gains, or only a minimal gain.

maintaining since June'09
Carlos - this is a very strange refeed menu .... do you have a refeed sheet??
As Mary says - you need to follow the refeed properly to avoid any unnecessary gain. There certainly weren't any wine gums or tuc crackers on my sheet! Seriously though - you need to be vigilant on refeed to avoid disappointment. xx

Breakfast - 2 weetabix, raisins, sliced banana.
Snack - 2 plums, 1 apple.
Lunch - Beef broth. 1 orange.

Positivity is the key
Hi Mary,
hope all is well with you, it's amazing where you say you don't feel hungry, perhaps you have just got used to eating less. I suppose the routine of work makes it easier as there is set times to eat. Not long till the holidays now, I'll pretend I'm not envious!!!
Take care.

You are right Doirin, I think I have just got used to eating less which was really helped initially with the calorie counting that I did for the first few months - It gave me a good idea of portion control as previously to this I was having nearly double what was on my plate.
I think maybe now I am seeing food as a thinner person would, instead of the old fat me - but whatever the reason, I am happy that my eating habits have changed.
Mmm holidays - now did I tell you its only 9 sleeps???
Tuesdays Food.
Early morning snack - Special k cereal bar.
Breakfast - 2 weetabix, raisins, banana, semi skimmed milk.

Edit - snack van came to work, so I had a jamaican chicken wrap, packet of pickled onion crisps and a bottle of lucozade. Probs wont eat my soup now.

Sunday evening I had the start of a sore throat, then when I got up for work yesterday morning, I had a full blown cold.
I went home from work last night and had dinner, watched tv for a little while and had a large mug of hot lemonade and 2 paracetamol. I just felt freezing right from the inside out. I went to bed about 9pm, wrapped up in my flanelette pyjamas, socks, flanelette dressing gown and I feel a lot better this morning. Still got a cold, but its not getting me down like it did yesterday.
Thankfully its come this week and not next week when I am away.

How ya feeling Mary?? Hope you are on the ment..best it comes out before your holiday, that's what I say I was paranoid before going away. Was washing my hands (obviously) after the loo in work, but then using this antibacterial wipe as well, THEN, wait for it!! I took a paper towel and opened the door to the loos with it. I was so frightened of catching flu or something before my hols and them not letting me into the country..hahaha.........
so, hopefully it is all gone before your lovely trip, which I am sure is about 7-8, maybe 6 sleeps now????????

LOL Iris, I am not just as bad as that, but I have been very careful with the antibac wipe etc in work for the last couple of months, then lo and behold this dreaded cold comes out of nowhere and a full blown cold at that. Still feeling bunged up today but not feeling as ill as I was yesterday.
9 sleeps Iris.

Absolutely Tanya, I wouldnt want it when I was away, I might not be able to drink my adequate share of vodka and diet coke!
Feeling better than yesterday but still not 100%. Just praying if my other half catches it, he catches it soon so that hopefully he will be fine before a week Thursday.
I am sure you will be fighting fit when you get on that plane!!! I would maybe give the hubby some flu tabs just in case ;-)!!
Keep yourself nice and warm still and hopefully you will be back to normal soon.
I still havent got anywhere with this online Turkish course. Mentioned it again to my DH tonight, so hopefully he will email his cousin and find out. If nothing transpires, I think I will have a look myself..need to get myself organised or another year will pass me by without me learning any more Turkish!

He has had a cough for a few days, but seems to be avoiding the runny nose part
I am sure by tomorrow I will be much better - I do feel better than I did last night.
No worries Iris, I will try and learn a few more phrases this time when I am away and will practise on you when I come back - you can practise it on your OH
