EDIT: Just realised I haven't actually introduced myself, which was rather remiss of me! I'm 33, live on my own in London. No 'other half' to keep me on or off track so it really is just down to me. I'm currently 3 stone lighter than my heaviest last year. That's partly down to the wonder of SW, which I've been on in earnest for about 4 weeks - 3 at class and partly because last August I decided to quit my job and go travelling for 9 months with a friend. I lost about a stone and a half, had a great time and came back inspired to keep up the healthy thing. I've been bigger for years and have half heartedly been on diets (including WW) but nothing that I've actually committed to before. I honestly feel that this time I can do it and I can see myself at a size 12 (currently an 18, which is better than the 22 I was not so long ago). I am 100% enthused, although I do not intend to give up my friends or my wine. I'd like to get to my target as I'd love to finally feel confident in the way I look, which will then hopefully get me to a point where I don't think that every bloke who looks at me/ talks to me is on some kind of evil bet with his mates. We can but dream.....
Anyway - this is the unedited bit! ------>
I thought I'd start one of these to keep track. I normally write everything down in my notebook anyway, but no-one except me gets to see it and it's easy to hide away when I've been less than good...although I do own up to it (...to myself....ahem).
So here goes. Red day today. Sidenote: I've never had an EE day as I can't get my head around it and I like having the flexibility of an extra A or B in the day...but I do like the idea of curry AND rice on the same plate! At the same time! How you can do EE and lose weight is beyond me, but I know enough people that do and do. Black magic if you ask me. Oohhh..chocolate.
Anyway...
a - 250ml ss milk (in tea/ coffee) [i do actually measure this out every morning into my little measuring jug so I know I'm on track....]
a
b - 2 x wholemeal bread (400g loaf)
b - fibre plus (yum)
Breakfast: Smoked salmon and scrambled egg (2 eggs, some milk allowance, a non stick pan and a bit of fry light)
Lunch: Roast beef and tomato sandwich (leftover from my mum's roast the other day - yum!!)
Dinner: Beef kofte curry from the SW curry book - double yum!! Three lots in the freezer and some burgers* made with the leftover mince (700g is an awkward amount!)
Snacks: Muller light yoghurt with some raspberries, blueberries, strawberries and grapes.
Syns: 0, but I had a blowout this weekend at a friends BBQ and I've probably used my 70 and then some for the week :sigh:...which starts again tomorrow as it's WI day
*burger recipe: 500g extra lean mince, 1 tblsp mustard powder, 2 tblsp worcester sauce, 2 tblsp BBQ/ cajun seasoning, spring onions chopped finely, 1 egg to bind. Mix together, make into 4 (and a mini meatball!) and bob's your uncle. Delish.
