Your food sounds delish huni, reading your diary is making me hungry lol. You do a lot of exercise too ~ I wish I was as motivated as you, have a good week xx

 

[GymClassHero]

Well i was totoally off plan yesterday, it was the 6 year anniversary of my dad's death and i couldnt be bothered food optimising yesterday - full stop. My mind was elsewhere and i didnt feel being on plan was a priority so i suppose i had a bit of a blowout without conciously doing so.

I had bacon and egg on nimble white for breakfast. Then a starbucks blended caramel light. Went out for lunch to Slattery and had a Lamb and salad sandwich on a white baguette with minted mayo followed by a slice of carrot cake. Dinner was king prawn szechwan and boiled rice from the takeaway followed by a cream filled choc chip muffin (again from Slattery!). I polished off 2 slices of domino's pizza at about 8pm as there was some going spare, i wasn't even hungry but thought ''F**K it, ive already blown it big time for today and im not actually bothered''

There was no way i was cooking yesterday and i only had the 'good' breakfast because my OH made it for me in the morning as i was a bit too upset to get out of bed first thing.

Anyway, i had a horrific stomach ache last night and didnt get to sleep until about 2:30am so i feel dead on my feet today. I feel so ill, i had to have something called Motillium to help take the pain away from feeling so full and icky. Its made me realise that eating all that crap gave me the stomach ache and that i simply cannot fuel myself with these types of food anymore.

So - i'm back on plan (sort of) for today with the exception of lunch because i felt that ill and tired i forgot to pick up my salad out of the fridge. I'll have to buy a sandwich from the canteen in work (i work miles away from anywhere and dont have a car) so i'll just go for tuna salad on brown. Apart from that i have got fruit and yogurt and ive had a breakfast on plan and my evening meal will me on plan as well.

Onwards and downwards for this week now - fingers crossed

 

[GymClassHero]

Well, i've pretty much had a really shitty 7 days or so and have not been posting my diary up. I've been off plan for a couple of days and this all pretty much started last week when it was the anniversary of my dad's death.

In addition to that i've dregged up an old ankle injury from getting my heel caught in the lift at work a couple of weeks back and my Dr has told me to rest up because i may further damage my ligaments and tendons. I'm ok to do cardio, just cant do any running and will have to avoid lunges due to the position it puts my foot and ankle in.

So - ive felt really down not benig able to exercise. Im also 99% sure i put weight on doing EE but didnt go to weigh in so im not sure. I've been feeling like i cant be bothered food optimising but i had a lovely email from my consultant asking how i was and offering her support and kind words. This is totally picked me back up and i went back on red and green last week and feel much better for it. I did a 4 hour walk through Blackpool on saturday and my ankle held up fine so im going to brave the gym again tonight.

I've not got my little book with me (at work) so im going to post my food up later on now that im feeling more positive and upbeat.

I guess i'll have to see how it goes but this just feels like another set back on my journey.

I just need to ensure i stay focused and upbeat about things to avoid falling into a neagative trap where i start self sabotaging.

Finally, diary for today!

Well, i feel much better today. I had a lovely email from my consultant which really picked me up but i feel much more in control now that im back on red and green as opposed to EE. I felt my portions on EE were huge and i felt i couldnt trust myself not to overindulge on a big cut of meat AND potato's in the same meal. I supposed im so used to weighing things like potato's, pasta, noodles etc on a red day its hard to change the mindset. Im only going to do EE from now on if im planning on eating out or getting a takeaway so i can have a meat dish and rice or noodles.

My ankle is still bad, was going to brave the gym tonight but its throbbing so im going to take some ibruprofen and go for a gentle walk with my OH and the dogs instead.

Had a cooking day yesterday and made loads of SW stuff so i've had some lush fruit loaf made from weetabix yeserday and today and i had a lovely lasagne yesterday. I feel much better when i have cooked 'goodies' because it makes me feel more in control again.

Weigh in tomorrow so i hope my days off plan last week, lack of exercise and EE haven't had an impact

Well i put 1 lb on at weigh in tonight and i can totally account for this. I know what has happened, its a combination of:

• Following EE
• Wandering off road last week
• Lack of activity due to ankle injury

Im over the issues last week and in a really positive mindframe. Im still a little down regarding my ankle so im going to combat that by just doing weights tomorrow and then swimming 40 lengths of the pool as its zero impact on my ankle.

Ive really been eating lots and lots of free food to fill me up and i just feel so much better on Green/Red, i feel like im back in control and in the right mindframe again.

Hungry hippo again yesterday!!! Think its because im off work and training again, im in building mode like i used to be when i did a lot of strength and muscle building so im craving lots of protein and complex carbs. Im going to give EE a whirl again for the next few days because i have casseroles and stews planned when i need to use a mix of protein and carbs.

I'll see how it goes, ill probably STS this week as a result and my muscles will retain water from starting activity again so im not expecting any big losses next tuesday at weigh in and if i do then its a bonus.
