Ah thanks! Me too, my skin has gone awful, never had so many spots and I look about 5 years older! But I think I needed the sugar this morning just to sort me out. I was going to celebrate with some gin in the garden but I can't even be bothered! X

Hi Charl, I like your food diary, never mind the cheescake, u deserve it!!

 

[charl_young]

Ah thanks its more of a general moan diary lately! Happy days though now as summer is here and it's time to get fit. Even though I'm shattered i've been out trying to sort my garden, cutting grass and chopping down bushes, now I'm sure that must count as exercise.

Yet another bad food day! Whoops! I need to get my head around the fact this weights not going to magically come off!! I had a big breakfast, and some chocolate trifle. Nothing was fried or anything I just had some chipolata sausages and some hash browns. Very bad! I'm going to go into town soon and pick up some nice big steaks and prawns for dinner. Yum! Then go swimming later on too, might even walk into town takes about 1.5 hours.. But it's so nice! Maybe some charity shop shopping too, I love finding random bits of crockery and stuff! Soooo.. Actual food.. I won't count syns as its just too depressing but I will write it all down.

Brunch : 3 asda ES chipolatas, 2 bacon (lean), 3 asda hash browns, beans, 2 poached eggs, beans, 2 slices WW Danish (hexB) grilled tomato & mushroom, asda choc trifle (just writing all that down has made me feel sick, so no more binges.)

Snack : apple, banana, mango

Dinner : Steak, SW potato and sweet potato chips, asparagus, salad - balsamic vinegar

Worst week ever since I started SW. Totally gone off plan, feel like a whale and guilty and pretty awful really.. I'm kinda pissed at bf as he keeps saying we need treats. I don't need treats I need to lose 3 stone! But I have crap willpower and just eat it anyway.. So I can't be pissed really as its my issue not his, no ones forcing me to join him. God I hate with a passion feeling like this, I've said this all week but tomorrow I'm starting again.. Red and green days, weekends EE and I'm quitting drinking. And starting exercise, I said I was going to swimming today but I went to the pub instead and had a load of cider. ARGH! rant done sorry! I needed to vent how pissed I am at myself.

 

[Keldelacoe]

Write it off and start again, you will get there just maybe you need to be in the right frame of mind x

 

[charl_young]

Yep! I feel better this morning, going for a swim now, which is going to mean a 2 mile walk too, then thought i'd have a little walk to the high st (another mile) and look at the charity shops before going to help at my boys school disco, today is a better day..

LUSH day, proper active and summery, and had a lush time. apart from randomly I walked into the kitchen thinking the cat was rustling around and it was a MAGPIE!!! an actual magpie came in my house, so I totally freaked and it ran out, into my laundry room and wouldn't come out! I just left the backdoor open and shut the kitchen one, so I'm hoping he's gone and not brought all his buds in.. totally freaked me out.

 

[charl_young]

I'm going to a BBQ today at the bf's mums house, so I don't have much control over what I'm eating, going to not drink though so hopefully won't be too bad. Am pretty sure they're doing WW so hopefully will be kinda diet friendly!

[charl_young]

So I'm firmly back on the exercise track, I've never really been hugely into it and I've started believing its going to be the only thing that really makes me lose weight, I can diet but I know myself it doesn't work very well for me, as unless I am 100% strict all the time, I STS, so I obviously need more.. Had a pretty active 3 days previous to this, so I'll carry it on.. and although I will keep doing SW, I'm going to be a little less strict, like this weekend, I haven't been totally on plan, but I also haven't eaten anything very bad. Just sensible eating and no drinking.. I also think staying away from alcohol is a big thing for me.. If I stay off the drink for 3 months I'm wondering if it'll affect my losses a lot. Sooooo tomorrow I am going to walk 5.4miles (school run+walking to pool), zumba is at 12:15 so I might go and see if I can do the class... you can't book its first come first served and if I can go do that, and then have a 30 min swim. if not then just the swim. I'm excited to try new things though, after a month of doing various gym classes and swimming I'm going to do the 30DS. then the month after that start the C25K, which will take me to thailand time. When the weathers like this I don't really feel like trying to start running as it'll be too hard completely unfit. but once I'm a bit fitter then hopefully running will be easier. Sorry I know I'm rambling on here but its more if I write all my jumbled thoughts down it becomes more real and I might actually do it!

 

[charl_young]

I usually WI on thursday's but thought I'd go check and see the damage last weekend/all last weeks done.. I've gained 1lb, which is ok really, its not like a really worked hard to try and counter it over the weekend either, still had all my daily syns and stuff, just going to count yesterday as starting again as I was on plan fully, think I might start weighing myself on fridays instead too. I was gonna go to zumba, but I'm a bit scared, so just gonna walk and swim today as I'm not feeling very confident after the gain.

Sounds like you've been having a rough time. Hope everything is getting better for you. x

 

[charl_young]

Hey! It was a stressful few weeks, now uni's done I'm literally bouncing around, full of enthusiasm for diet and fitness! How are you? How's the diet going? X

 

[Twinkle314]

That must be a relief that uni's finished. My diet is going ok. I reached 2 1/2 stones off last night and got slimmer of the week, so really chuffed.
