.............. didnt plan on having this, but really couldnt resist trying my h/m marmalade I currently have a cake in the oven which will be 15syns a slice so now will have to limit myself to 1/2 a slice at 7.5syns!!!

Tea
Risotto (probably) ....EDIT dont think I can be bothered to cook this, I'll probably have some fruit and yog instead

Oh dear cake incident! Nevermind.

I'm thinking of calling target tonight I've been within 3lb of the weight I currently am for about 6months. So either calling target will take the pressure off and I'll lose the last 7lb (my real target) or I'll stick where I am, where I am pretty happy and not have to pay anymore!

 

[gobolino]

I gained 2lb so I didnt call my target

Grrrr this weight loss is such a delicate balance, its flipping annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[gobolino]

My consultant has suggested that I do success express this week, so that's what I'll be doing this week.

Gutted that a few slices of cake can result in a 2lb gain (I never usually have cakes I just steer well clear), think I would have been better off with a chocolate bar, at least that would have been a measured amount of naughtiness!

 

[Beegee]

Ooh hello, I just saw your other thread and thought I'd better check out your diary. Interesting question re target and if it weren't for that annoying gain it probably would have been a good idea! Where did that gain come from anyway, I thought you'd had a pretty good week - hopefully it will right itself next week and it's just a blip. Then you can call the 't' word and start saving money!

You are brave making marmalade and cakes at home. There's just no way I could make lovely treats like that and exercise any level of control. Good job I'm a fairly hopeless cook without any inclination to get baking!

 

[Beegee]

ps - just seen your other post. A couple of bits of cake can't make that much difference surely. It's just a shame you had them yesterday rather than a couple of days ago! Hang in there you x

 

[gobolino]

I'm no good at doing cakes and restraining either..... I had good intentions, but I've realised my mistake now.

All it takes is a disruption in the syns, the water drinking or the superfree eating or the exercise levels and I'm set for a gain! I'm starting to feel that its never going to be normal for me to relax into doing less water, exercise, superfree or more syns and get away with it.

I'm doing ok so far today but feel so much like going off the rails for a day or so. I'm not feeling good with routine at the moment. I think things need a re-think and I need to feel better in my head too. I'm in a grump for no apparent reason!

Tuesday has gone well - woopwoop

Breakfast
Pear, raspberries and 100g l/f greek yog (1syn)

Snacks
1/2 banana, 3 little apples, milk in tea (HA)

Dinner
Small portion of pasta (!!!), 50g feta (HB), cucumber, toms, pepper

Tea
Again a small portion of pasta, broccoli (loads), cheese sauce (5.5syns HA HB) (h/m with 16g each of flour and cant believe its not butter light, 250ml semi skimmed milk and 28g cheese), served with salad

Total 6.5syns
Wii 35mins
Walk 10mins

 

[Beegee]

Glad to hear you're feeling a bit brighter. Sometimes you just need a good day to get you back on track. I hope that's the case with you!

Mm, small portions of pasta eh? What's that then?! Mine are always enormous, I don't think I know how to cook a small portion. It would look so pathetic sitting there - just a few little twirls or shells.

Btw, I feel your pain about not getting away with anything if you're not exercising or drinking madly. Although I do neither of those things I know what I can get away with and what I can't and it's very frustrating when you have so little leeway for occasional naughtiness.

Hope tomorrow is as successful as today x

 

[gobolino]

Thanks Beegee -Here's to tomorrow eh! I am so much more positive now after a good day on plan

Less pasta is because I'm trying to ease myself into success express, meaning more superfree, less free. To be honest last week was mostly large jacket potatoes and beans (all free and great) but not so much superfree. We'll see how it goes!

 

[gobolino]

Well I found out today that the hot chocolate I thought was 5 syns is actually 10 syns - wow! I had about 6 of those last week..... could be held responsible for my gain last week (finally a little more logic to the gain, I think).

Been keeping a diary actually in a diary at the mo, will update when I get a bit of time

 

[Beegee]

Ooh ten syns for a hot chocolate !! I bet it was delicious

 

[gobolino]
