Ding Dong the Enemy's dead!
- Thread starter kered
- Start date
Day 22 - NO SMOKING. Feeling great.
Day 1 - Healthy eating - doing marvellous.
Okay girls, I have given myself a really good talking to last night, and this morning. Today is a new day, and the picking has stopped.
Got up this morning and had a cup of tea and set about setting up this Wii fit+. I ate 1 banana whilst doing it and it took me about an hour. I then went on and done some exercises which was limited due to time as I am nights tonight, I had Doctors this afternoon and had to get a few things done in the house.
Anyway, I managed 24 minutes on the Wii and I did some hula hoops, super hula hoops, jogging, steps and super steps. I absolutely loved the step programme, it was really fun and something that I know I will and can stick to.
Well here goes for the weight. Weighed myself first thing in the morning as I always did before and I now weigh, 10st 10lbs. I suppose this could have been worse, but this is bad enough. After the hols I was 10st 6lb. My aim now is to get back to where I was and lose a little more. I have set a target on the Wii to lose 1 stone in 2 months. I am quite happy and confident that I can do that.
Todays food.
Morning snack - 1 medium banana.
Breakfast - 2 weetabix, 1 tangerine.
Snack - 1 tangerine.
Dinner - (last nights, which I didnt have) Lamb shoulder, 3 small new potatoes, swede and carrot mix, peas, gravy.
Supper in work - Salad, tin of sardines, jar of cockles. LF yogurt, 2 tangerines.
I havent brought anything extra to work with me, as I am going to be an extremely good girl tonight, and have even refused some of the snacks that are here. I totally refuse to eat any of them. (shines halo)

Well done on packing in the picking Mary! The Wii will keep you occupied. I read somewhere else that you 'can't wait' to get up tomorrow afternoon and go on it ....... Ha Ha ... it's all I can do to drag myself out of bed by 7pm at the moment. I think it's coz of the new tablet the docs given me but even so! Wish I had your energy! Best of luck with it - enjoy xx
xxShame about those tablets Jan.
I wish I did have something that would make me sleep, but I wouldnt go down the sleeping tablet route. I will have about 4 hours tomorrow and thats about it, but I make up for it the next day usually. So I should be up and wii-ing around 1pm.......lol.

I couldn't survive on that Mary - even with catch up the next day. And I certainly couldn't get up and Wii (lol) after 4 hrs!
These aren't sleeping tablets - they're a different painkiller which have the side effect of making you sleepy - I WAS warned and told to take them at night. Trouble is I'm supposed to take one twice a day so I don't know how i'm supposed to take them at night!! I hadn't dared take one in the day till wednesday when I DH was around so I wouldn't have to drive or anything but I ended up having to go to bed in the afternoon so sod that for a game of soldiers. I don't think they're doing much good anyway tbh. I'll persevere with the night time (well sleep time) one for a bit longer, I've only had them for a week. xx

I know its not sleeping tablets you are taking Jan, I was just saying I wouldnt go down the route of sleeping tabs lol.
Well I had the usual sort of sleep today. Sleeping by 07:30 and awoke at 11:10 for the loo. I went back to bed but was still awake at 11:50 so I got up and had a cup of tea. Did my Farmville, then went on the Wii and did 40 minutes of exercises and tried a few more that I hadnt looked at yesterday.
I ended up going back to bed at quarter to three and had to be up at quarter past four for a shower and dinner before work. Thankfully OH is at home at the moment, so he had dinner ready for me coming out of the shower.
I have my 10 year old Grandson up for the afternoon and night tomorrow, so no doubt I will have plenty of Wii exercise with him tomorrow before taking him home on Sunday morning. I wont be exercising after that until Tuesday as we are heading off to some friends at Newbury from Sun - Tues. Really looking forward to that, a nice little change.
No smoking today - nothing to report, been fine all day.
Food
Breakfast - 2 weetabix and a tangerine.
Snack - banana.
Dinner - Smoked vietnamese river cobbler, poached egg, 3 new potatoes, steamed carrots. Tangerine.
Supper in work - Chicken broth, 1 piece of soya and linseed bread. LF yogurt. 2 Tangerines.
Extras 4 cough sweets.

Well done on all the exercise. For someone who didnt exercise at all before your doing very well. Keep it up. Im sure you will get hours of fun and exercise out of the wii with your grandson its a great party game as well, christmas is always about the wii in my house haha!
Thanks, and yes, I am loving it. Cant wait for him to come tomorrow so we can have some fun, and at least if I have a vodka tomorrow night, I wont feel so guilty about it.
Hi Mary
You are doing really well, and considering you are giving up smoking, I think the gain isnt too bad....I am sure this will rectify itself once you rid your body of all traces of smoking!!!!! I am sure the picking is a side effect and dont doubt you will nip it in the bud...you are the Queen of this maintenance lark, so you have to
But, really pleased to see how well you are doing on the no smoking front! Well done you!!!
Take care

Still off the smokes, 4 weeks yesterday and feeling good. I still get the very occassional craving, but nothing too extreme.
Food wise, still picking more than I should, but not going to worry about it until January, I am going to continue to keep an eye on the weight, portion control and try to choose healthy options, but if I do slip, the fresh start will be in January. I feel its very important to get at least 2 months of stopping smoking before being too hard on myself.
Hey, if I do have bigger than planned weight increase, I can always get a lipotrim supply for 3 weeks or so to lose it again. I know it shouldnt be used in that respect, but I have NOOOO intention of ever being fat again.
Went on the wii for 40 minutes today and I have gained 1lb in the last 8 days, so all in all, I guess its not too bad.
Sorry I havent been around much since returning from Newbury on Tuesday, but been busy on the old farmville............oh my god, its my crutch since stopping smoking

Thanks Tanya, yeah dont worry, I dont plan on going OTT, but with all the celebrations ahead I might just succumb to the odd treat or two.
