From one extreme to the other - food diary!

[Jessieh90]

So my new job actually requires me to pretty busy - lots of travelling around and dirty rail cabins and dusty quarries. I'm enjoying it though so that's the most important thing - just now that it's a managerial role I guess u feel I've got to act more grown up - so I'm trying to find the right balance between being friendly and professional. I do have a tendency to be a little too open with people so need to rein that in.

More time being busy means less time to update on here. So in bullet points:

Was off plan last weekend - weighed and lost half a measly pound. Eurgh.

As of Monday my OH has been on SW with me. He's not big by any means but needs to lose approx 2 stone, for someone who used to drink 2L of Coke a day he's doing well so far!

Things are started to get moving with buying a house - this is super stressful. We've only just started the ball rolling and I've already had one anxiety attack. Anxiety sucks.

Food today was a bit boring as I was on the road again..

Breakfast: tangerine

Coffee x 3 (3)

Lunch: low fat quorn sausages with salad and half a pot of asda minty bean salad (1) and a tangerine

Snack: aldi cheese curls (3.5)

Dinner: spicy veggie pasta with low fat quorn sausages, cheese (hexa) and home made garlic bread (hexb)




Cheesecake mullerlight (1)

Well done to both of you

You might like to have a read of this little poem below


I'm Only One Pound

Hello, do you know me?
If you don't you should. I'm a pound of fat, and I'm the happiest pound of fat that you would ever want to meet. Want to know why?

It's because no one ever wants to lose me; I'm Only One Pound, just a pound. Everyone wants to lose three pounds, five pounds or fifteen pounds, but never only one, so I just stick around and happily keep you fat.

Then I add to myself ever so slyly so that you never seem to notice it, that is until I've grown to ten, twenty or even more pounds in weight. Yes, it's fun being Only One Pound of fat, left to do as I please.

So, when you weigh in, keep right on saying "Oh, I only lost one pound." (as if that were such a terrible thing!)

For you see, if you do this you'll encourage others to keep me around because they will think I'm not worth losing. And I love being around you - your arms, your legs, your chin, your hips and every part of you. Happy Days!!

After all, I'm Only One Pound of fat!!!
--------------------------
You'll probably have a great weigh in next week!

Woooowwwwee so it's a long old time since I've been on here!! So I got married - was no where near my target weight but didn't mind as my dress fitted (just about lol! the girls were popping out a tad but hey ho - OH liked it haha!)

In my post wedding bliss I have piled on the weight - to the point i'm too scared to actually get on the scales. We go on honeymoon next week for a fortnight to Turkey which I have no intention of being on plan for - but am going to try and be on plan as much as possible this week before going away. When I get back I'm going to join my local group to give me the kick up the backside I need to get this last bit of weight off. In other news - I've signed up for a half marathon - LOL. My Grandad sadly passed away so am doing it in his memory - for those that are interested here's a pic from our big day and a news article about my weight loss and marathon training!

Personal life wise OH and I have brought a gorgeous little boy puppy. A little pug called Ralph who we will be picking up in 2 weeks - eek!!
