Here goes....time to get my groove back!

Thanks Fran. I really don't know why I wanted to eat it. I've.been feeling so.motivated. well I'm off to work now for a twelve hour shift. Got all my food ready so I'll try my best not to let the chocs in work get the better of me.
 
Good luck. :)
 
I'm back....4lbs heavier after weigh in this wednesday :( :( So so disappointed in myself and could really kick myself for sabotaging myself so badly. I also have to admit that after weigh in it only just carried on, even up until this afternoon when for lunch I had two sausage rolls and two cakes from the bakers!! :eek: :eek:

I then came home and went to bed as I'm working nightshift tonight, but I couldn't sleep. I just kept thinking about my weight gain, and how I had nothing prepared for work tonight and so another night of eating junk would no doubt happen so I got up and made a chickpea dahl loaf, and some low syn coleslaw. I've also got carrot sticks and hoummous to take in with me, then from tomorrow i'll be back on my proper food diary, counting my syns etc.

I am now back to 1 stone 13.5lbs down, which is still a great loss over 13 weeks, but I will not let myself get sidetracked or let my emotions control my eating anymore. I can tell you, I can feel every one of those 4 pounds back on my body and it is not a nice feeling. I'm hoping if i stay on plan from now until wednesday I can maybe scrape a 1 or 2lb loss.

I owe my mojo regaining to all you lovely people out there that are doing so well on the plan right now as you have really spurred me to carry on and get back on it, so thank you :)
 
Thanks for your support Fran. Your diary was one of the ones that helped me get things into perspective and made me realise how much of an idiot I was being by eating the crap. I'm excited about eating all the yummy free food again and maybe getting even a small loss next week.

Lastnight at work went well considering I was totally surrounded my naughty food...crisps, choc, cakes etc!!!

Before I left I had toast n beans to keep me going until my break, then on my break I had some chickpea dahl loaf, some sw coleslaw and carrot and pepper sticks dipped in reduced fat hoummous. I probably ate a little too much hoummous but considering that one of the girls I was on with was sitting with a huge bag of walkers sensations in front of her and the other had a curry from the chinese I think I did not too bad :D

At about 4.30am I got a bit peckish so had the little dessert i'd made....a fake cheesecake made with hi fi light bars for the base, then quark mixed with a choc options, topped with blueberries. It was yummy and satisfied my craving for something sweet. (I really wish I didn't have such a sweet tooth!!) Then at around 6am I had a mullerlight yogurt and a cup of tea.

Hometime came around fairly quickly then I went straight to bed and slept for about 5 hours so i'm still tired and looking forward to my bed tonight :snoopyhouse:

So food for today has gone like this:

Breakfast (at 3pm!!) : 6 ryvita crackerbreads (HEB) topped with 1/2 a tub of cracked black pepper low low cheese (HEA)

Snack: 2 hifi light bars, an apple and a satsuma

Lunch: Chickpea dahl loaf and homemade coleslaw (1syn)

Dinner: Marinated chicken and patatas bravas with garlic aleoli (from M & S. Still to have this and it's probably laden with syns but I bought it earlier this week and have been looking forward to having it so i'll be having it later when hubby gets in from the football. I did get chocolate souffles for dessert as it was part of their dine for a tenner deal. Not decided if i'm going to have that yet or if i'll make my quark dessert again for a lot less syns. Decisions decisions!!! :sign0151:
 
Good to see you got your mojo back Tooty - xmas is now just around the corner, you can lose at least half of that gain by then if not all, you did really well at work, come on you can do this. A lighter you going into xmas and a new you going into Jan 2013
 
Thank you Texty. I'd be really happy with just anything off as I think that two weeks of gains would really knock my confidence. Fingers crossed :)
 
Ahhh lovely I'm glad to see that mojo is coming back! You have done well and nothing can take that away from you - not even the gain and the falling off plan.

When I fall into a rut or go off plan I get my cookbooks out and that really helps me! Getting excited about food again and doing tonnes of cooking is my best cure for SW blues. :)

You're gonna be fine! Keep your head in it and we'll all give you a gentle shove along the way if you need it xxx
 
popular or not Fran its a good job there are keen eyed people like yourself around I bet you have saved lots of people from eating extra syns by just casting that eye over their food intake - dont stop x
 
Thanks Fran. I don't mind you pointing things out to me at all. Unfortunately I managed to eat the whole chicken thing to myself as hubby was very late home and I was annoyed with him. I also washed it down with half a bottle of wine :-(

I've not been following the plan at all lately as I've not been very well, firstly with vomiting bug and now the cold. I've just been eating anything and everything and didn't even go to weigh in this week as I felt rubbish.

Soooooo....I'm taking it one day at a time and have decided that I'm going to log everything I eat and drink on here as Fran suggested and hopefully it'll get me back on track.

Hey, you've not been well! Don't stress too much x I've been like the bottomless pit this week lol and I have no excuse! Not been doing my diary either which is very bad news for me. A food diary could just be what you need! Writing all my food down really helps me and hopefully it will help you too xxx
 
Helloooooooooo!!

Just a quick hi as I'm off to bed but I will be back tomorrow with a proper update!!!
 
Well, I have done the necessary shameful updating of my signature to update my progress over the last 4 weeks!!! Yes, that's right, i've put on an astounding 11.5lbs in the last 4 weeks :sign0007: To say i'm disappointed in myself if a massive understatement. I've been feeling really unwell and been stuck in the house on my own most of the time, and that can only lead to bad things (which, quite clearly it did!!) :(

I've basically been eating myself into oblivion which is what I tend to do when i'm A: alone and B: ill. I faced the scales yesterday and it showed a 1.5lb gain, which quite frankly is a miracle as I can't even go into what I've eaten this week as I'd probably get banned from this site!!! But the week before I'd gained a totally justified 6lbs!!! :d'oh:

Soooooooooo, today I'm attempting to start afresh and have a nice big loss for next week. Now, the reason I say i'm attempting it is because my hubby is still off work, and even though he's very, very supportive in my weight loss, I always find sticking to the plan much harder when he's around. :rolleyes: But try I will and I reckon if I can have a good day today then it will set me up for the rest of the week.

I must say that whilst I was eating all the junk that I was shovelling into my gob, I really didn't enjoy it and think that it has probably contributed to it taking longer to getting me back to full health as i'm still not there yet!! Planning on making some lovely homemade soup to snack on and i'll be back later to update on the days events!!

Wish me luck!!!!!!!!!
