Everyday's a SW day :) x

[xmisskx]

You are right, you just need to chill out a bit I think. SW works and thats that. You just need to follow SW, if that's the way you want to go, and it WILL work. If you scrimp and save up syns and HEs you are not doing the diet correctly any more than if you cheat! There is a science to it and the science works, but if you deviate (cheat or starve) then no, it won't work. It works both ways.

Give yourself a break Miss K. If you want to try healthy eating, then try it, you might thrive from it. If not, go back to what you know.

Maybe you just need to go back to basics for a little while.

i'm just gonna keep doing what i have been...and once my head's in a better place, it'll all make sense lol.

thank you for keeping me in line x

so...today's food ended up like this:

DAY - GREEN

Breakfast:
sliced strawberry and banana with yog and all bran choc crunch

Snack:
1 piece of dahl loaf

Lunch:
quorn chilli pasta bake
honey monster stix bar

Dinner:
quorn peppered steak, sw chips, cottage cheese and veg pack
fruit salad

HEb's:
all bran choc crunch
honey monster stix x 2

HEa's:
15g of cheddar cheese in the bake at lunch and i might have a babybel before i go to bed

Syns:
mini milky bar - 3.5
crisps - 5.5

9 in total for the day

a great day in the eyes of SW....and just over 1500 calories.
counting the calories was hard work and i'll end up driving myself crazy if i try to do both!

think i'm gonna keep doing what i have been...but be mindful of calories if possible. not in a great place "head wise" today with other stuff and star week due so hoping a decent sleep (whatever that is!) and a visit from mrs nature might help?

hope everyone's really good xx

Hey Miss K

Those quorn peppered steak thingys, what are they like? They look lovely. I am not generally a quorn person - but I don't mind those chicken nuggety things they do.

It seems you have your mojo back there.


Things going on at home you are not happy with hun? Obvs you don't have to say, but you have mentioned a few times about "other stuff" - I hope all is well, or at least getting better.

stuff at home is not really anything i can control...but i need to learn to control how i feel about it and the energy i waste over it and that's half my battle.
just had some confrontational stuff which i'm not really able to react to (to keep the peace) but it makes me feel like a push over!
i'm quite gobby at times and say what i think (not in a rude way!) so for me, i have this battle and it eats away at me,keeps me awake and night and makes me feel anxious waiting for the next lot of whatever happening.
i don't react for all the right reasons but it bugs me cos i just want to say what i really think...but i know it's not worth it!
me and a couple of others are just on different pages but always in each other's life and i swear to god my good karma better get to me one day!
gggrrrrr! hehe

i quite like the peppered steaks things...but i find them a bit spicy (i'm a woos tho!) so that's why i have the cottage cheese with them.
they're often on offer in morrisons for £1.25 a pack...if you can get them for that, might be worth while picking up to try?

been on plan the last 3 days...but still tracked calories just out of interest...yesterday i had the perfect SW day but was way over cals...didn't like the fact MFP told me how much heavier i'd be in 5 weeks if i ate the same every day lmao...took it with a pinch of salt which is better than where i was on monday!

tomorrow i have a party for most of the day which has been planned so i'm off plan. have already started to track some things that i know about/i'm taking and it's crazy that i'm lower in calories for breakfast and lunch eating the rubbish i know about so far!

but not going to dwell on it too much...just gonna keep doing what i have been, if i track cals then so be it, but not going to pay too much attention to it or i'd drive myself crazy!
after this week, there's nothing major planned that could knock me off other than maybe a night out with my OH...if that happens then i'm going with it - it's not very often that things like that do...we literally do nothing all year until bday's in nov/dec and xmas and you know what, life happens sometimes!

meant to post on your diary earlier...noticed you had a ahem.."Yummy" day yesterday and know what i thought...x amount of days being "good" out of 7 is better than none! loved how you were like like..ah well, done now, off i go again and that says something!

tomorrow will be a right off for me...the plan is that it's just tomorrow and not the go ahead to make it the whole weekend too like i've done a few times - cos there's no need and if i pull that off then i'll def feel better!

mother nature was due yesterday...think she may make an appearance tomorrow so hoping she's kind to me as the day has been planned for a wee while...i get bad with it sometimes and i'm determined to be well enough to eat cake! lol

enjoy yourself tonight...look forward to reading about it x

Ah Miss K

I know what you mean. I hate it when I have to hold my tongue for the sake of keeping the peace too. Others don't so why should you? But someone has to be the bigger person i think, and it might as well be you. I think as long as you have a soundboard, someone else to vent your thoughts on, then you have kind of said your view, just not to the person in question. Its good to vent. Mick is my soundboard to those at work who regularly irritate me (which you can't do anything about because you see them EVERY day and you HAVE to work together) and the girls at work or my girlfriends are my soundboard when Mick is being a douche! Sometimes getting understanding from a third person, unleashes the anxiety and frustration.

Lady, step away from the MFP!!!! No, seriously, as long as you don't take much notice of the calorie intake, keep doing what you are doing.

What is a honey monster stix bar? I have often wondered!

you're right huni...i just sound off and it does help to a certain extent....cos then i don't cause WW 3 but i really do let things eat away at me cos i go over in my head what i want to say etc.

the honey monster stix are a cereal bar type thing. you get a vanilla and marshmallow one and chocolate and honeycomb and 2 of either are a HEb.
the vanilla one is a bit like the rice krispie squares you get - delish and the choc one is good too.
i got mine in pound world and semi chem so keep an eye out x

3rd EE day for me in a row which i never do...and my food's been a bit samey but got stuff i'm trying to use up.
the chilli was taken out the freezer for lunch at work yesterday but didn't eat it, same again today hence the reason i had it at dinner time with a random sausage lol
think i've done myself out of the extra HEb by doing EE cos i've literally only had a wee drop meat/tuna at dinner time - might have been better synning it?
nevermind...i've eaten more veg this week than usual and trying to get back to eating normally after a weekend of not even wanting a drink of water so slowly slowly eh!
kinda regretting not making the usual stuff on a monday - i didn't cos i still wasn't feeling great and making all the food was the last thing i wanted....fail for when i'm better eh hehe...not to worry, can make it all for next week and i've enjoyed the change to a certain extent

hope everyone is well x
