Elkays resurrected food diary

[somethingisgoingon]

Thanks for dropping by Jen. I certainly haven't stuck to it the past couple of days! Was my sons birthday and we went to a newish Indian restaurant where they did loads of different curries that you don't usually get so I deviated from my usual 'safe' chicken tikka and then went on to have some naan bread too. To make matters worse, I took my son out to lunch today as we were both off work and I succumbed to a burger and chips. I must really try and get back on track tomorrow. I think I am going through that phase where I could quite easily just give up - I really hope I can motivate myself tomorrow.

Good to see you are still doing well.

I am sure you will get back on track. Don't let a couple of fall backs stop you coz once you have given up it is sooo soooo hard to get back on it. I had that feeling for 3 years before finally motivating myself so just keep going. You can do it!! xx

Thank you! I feel a bit better about it today so will do my best to stay motivated! I do wish I could see the lbs moving a bit quicker though!

I don't know really, I just wasn't all that hungry yesterday and really wanted to make up for the previous day so it had to be done! If I don't start compensating for having extra points, I'm going to have put on 4lb by Wednesday (end of the March challenge) instead of losing it!

Right, after my disappointing monthly weigh in yesterday, only losing 2lb again :cry:, (entirely my own fault) I am changing my tactics. I will now weigh in every week instead of once a month in the hope that this motivates me to stick to the plan each week rather than deviate a couple of days per week and then be good for the last week. I always lose weight slowly (which is why I decided to only weigh in each month originally) and am not expecting miracles. A 4lb loss for April would be great so I am going to do it this month!!
