Evilpenguin's food diary

Spoke to my mum and because I'm finishing a course and starting a new one in Sept I can claim. If I was going into a 2nd year of a course I wouldn't be able to. So weird though. How do they expect students to live through the summer?!

Back on track today!

Not entirely sure what to do with my stats tho as I won't be going back to class so I need to go with my scales, and according to them this morning I weighed 19st 4lbs which is a loss from my last WI?? But those scales are about 7 to 10lbs lighter than the class ones so am I actually 20st??

I dunno what to do, but I think just pretending I never went to SW and resetting my stats back to what my scales originally told me is the only thing I can do!

Also not sure if I should email the consultant to tell her that I won't be back? Its pretty embarrassing really, not being able to afford it :( but now that I'm out of work and also not going to get a bursary now that college is finishing, I can't justify £5 a week on it :( don't think I'll even have a fiver a week for myself!! Stupid dole :(

Anyway this post is beginning to depress me. Will post a food diary in a seperate post :)

Well done for having the motivation to do slimming world solo I too am in the same situation it's hard to get motivated so you are doing great to start with as for emailing the sw instructor it's totally personal preference I didn't myself but I haven't been at it in a while as I only had a baby 12 weeks ago.. As for your weighting scaled ever scaled weighs different so don't let it get to you, I have decided to start from the beginning and go my the weight on my own scales therefore I can get an accurate reading each week. Well done : D
 
That's reassuring then but yeh tough for uni courses need to have a job or save some of the bursary if you plan eating or living during the summer lol, crazy! X

Ooh French toast good plan not had it in ages! X
 
French toast rules! Even better with fake cheese! Is it wrong to enjoy cheese slices?

Ended up off plan yesterday, got two A's in my exams so obviously celebrated with cider. I'm not an alcoholic, honest.

Haven't eaten at all today, but I'm pretty sure its a red day.

Breakfast: sugar free red bull
Lunch: coffee (part HEA)
Dinner: going to have chicken burgers, salad & turnip chips (both HEB's, 12 syns)
Snacks: none
Total syns: 12
 
Congrats on the great results! Well deserved booze :p x
 
Thanks chick :)

No food diary yesterday because lunch was an Asda sandwich, dinner was pizza and then I drank half a bottle of bourbon so I wasn't really on plan...

But, on Wednesday I sorted out my weight tracker that I keep on my laptop and went back to the weight I was on the 12th May, just pretending I never weighed at classes, and decided that on Saturday (today) I'd weigh in and start afresh, get totally back on track no excuses! Mostly because at the end of the 25week weight track thing that I printed off it will be a year since I started and I'd really like to get somewhere with this! And also uni starts in about 10 weeks so I want to lose more by then, and there's that wedding in August to lose weight for, etc etc!!

So given that I havent been fully on plan for almost a month, imagine my surprise and complete distrust in my scales when they told me at 12 noon today that I was 18st 11lbs!! I weighed myself 5 times to make sure! I was 18 11, 18 13, 19 1, 18 11 and 18 13. So because I don't believe my scales, I'm taking 18st 13lbs as the weight for today! :D

I don't have the internet back on yet and I can't update my stats from this phone app but I'll try to use the 3G signal to use the full site later to fix my stats :)

Food diary will be in another post cos this one is getting long lol!

Didnt manage to stay on plan yesterday, it all went downhill when my bf took me for coffee and I was distracted by a blueberry muffin. The thing is, life at home sucks so when I pick him up from work we'd rather go for a wander around the shops than go home and it always ends up with a coffee or a sandwich :( it cheers me up for about an hour then I'm left feeling like a failure :( siiiigh.

I had a relatively healthy dinner though, carbonara! Was quicker than what we had planned originally. Just the black pudding roll after it wasnt as on plan :(

Really need to do this!! So I think we'll avoid coffee shops and sneaky sandwiches on our random trips after work/college!

Yeh the cakes are always so tempting.

As long as you stick to just the coffee it might be ok to still do though :) or costa do fruity iced teas for really low syns that I want to try!

Sucks that you don't enjoy being in the house - I always spent a lot of time out the house when I didn't like the people I'm living with too, luckily it's finally just me and oh living here now.

YOU CAN DO THIS :-D x
 
Talking of fruity iced teas Laura, the peach one is lovely and 3 syns for a small, 4.5 medium. That ones the lowest syn, i love it.

My bf had the peach iced tea, I tried it and was gutted I hadnt gone for the same! I got a mocha and it was horrible, bitter and too hot to drink :(! Just fancied a change from a skinny latte with sugarfree syrup. Then I thought feck it and got the muffin too :( lead myself astray!

Yeah I know I can do it I just seem to have forgot how to! I've developed a taste for junk food and alcohol :( been eating out of sheer boredom too like last night with my black pudding roll!!

I seem to start off ok then in the afternoon I ruin it with silly things.

Today I will be 100%!!! I have to be! If I visit the shop on my way back from picking up the bf from work I'll control myself, if I have to buy food it will be fruit! I need more anyway as I ate most of it yesterday for lunch lol :)

3 days til weigh in, surely I can undo the damage and get a good result?!
 
Yup just get right back on it chick :)

I am gona try and start exercising again today - just letting my lunch settle first. Going to try an app on my phone that my mate has been raving about it's called skimble. Loads of free workouts to follow.

Duno if it's just me but I always feel better when I get back into doing some exercise and helps me stay on track foodwise as don't want to undo all the hard work whereas when I'm being lazy it's like **** it what harm will another cake do lol!! x
