update: okay, am at end of day 1. feeling okay. I think i can do this. Lunch was yum, but anything with cheese makes me happy *chuckles*
Its been 10 minutes since i finished eating my stirfry, which contained an entire salmon fillet- eurgh, even the thought makes me gag. Thankfull the sauce covered it SO well i could only taste it slightly. Im very proud of myself, being a complete fish hater. . and my initial concern that i'd spontaniously combust if i even ate salmon seems to be wrong! .. im not dead yet! guess my mother was right after all.. it really wont kill me. ha

FISHY WEEK-DAY2-5/11/10
breakfast: 3 sweet onion ryvitas, topped with 28g sliced chedder cheese HEA & HEB
1 chopped apple and 2 satsumas -superfree
Lunch: 60g of wholemeal pasta, 80g of tuna free
mixed salad leaves, spring onion, cherry tomatoes and cucumber -superfree
1 syn for light mayo used.
1 strawb shape yogurt -free
1 apple, diet coke before physio & acupuncture session free
1 sweetie from left over halloween batch, guess of 2.5 syns
tea: cod loin and half a haddock piece, and slimmingworld chips with mushy peas -free
followed by raw carrot sticks, and then a bowl of strawbs and satsumas to bump up superfree
Had first appointment with the physio therapist today about all my joint probs etc.
It was very good and well worth the money, she identified a few problems that i was unaware of and managed to pinpoint why she thought it was so bad, however because there is SO much wrong, my hips and pelvis, my back, my lower back, my neck, my knees and my ankles and my fingers being my main problems, she only focused on my higher back today, i had a session of acupuncture as that seemed to have helped when my GP gave me a few goes. i felt like she really knew what she was doing and although i cant afford it every week at £30 a session (£40 for first consultantion) i will have to have it fortnightly for a while, because its all so bad, but iv really got hopes for the future!!
Day 2 of fishy day going well. no slip ups and you may have noticed that im weighing my pasta. this is purely of interest of what i would usually have unweighed, what the recommened portion is on packaging etc.
the recommended portion of packet is 75g i actually found that this was what i was proberly having unweighed more or less and is quite a decent size, so im playing with the measurements to see if down sizing my pasta portion helps weight loss wise.
not done so well on the superfree front today but iv still had fish twice today (or will do.. teas in half hour..) so a long, but fairly positive day..
also the lady from the college reguarding the childcare courses has been in touch and is phoning me monday to tell me how much itl cost me. horah, finally getting somwhere.. all money money money though. x

allie i cant cook fish to save my life, because i dont know what fish should look or taste like! as long as it flakes= cooked. Im really not a fishy person, so when people are like 'oooo make sure you dont over cook it' i dont think i'd know the difference,
because i dont *enjoy* fish, so even if its over-done, im never gunna notice! LOL
im very proud of myself. Im being so brave with this fish stuff. I noticed i had picked two diff peices of fish up, one cod loin and one haddock peice when i did my shop, so as OH had brang one of his bakery things home because he didnt eat for lunch he had that with SW chips and i halved his peice, so i ate more fish today than anticipated.. and although (to me, no one slap me for saying this..) cod and haddock are kinda the same thing.. (well its both white fish, so blah) im still counting it as variety! LOL
my symptoms of severe fatigue etc seem to have gotten less and less over the past months and i feel much more on top of things, and after my blood tests came back negative for anything a 3rd time, it was agreed id just go back in a few months for another check up. however i still have dizzyness/light headedness and occaisonally blurry/loss of sight more or less every day, the physio seems to think it could be somthing to do with my neck and back problems anyways. so iv just got my fingers crossed it's all linked.. she seems to think its also made worse by my IBS, which isnt somthing id concidered or even thought of before.
she says the bowels etc are also linked to the system (cant remember term) that makes me feel flustered etc that caused my IBS to flare up, which is making me tense and what not.
mmm TMI ha

Im feeling nervous. My head keeps telling me i might have a massive loss on wednesday, but my hearts telling me i feel exactly the same (although i know this is nothing to go on) and that i shouldnt get my hopes up, it may not work for me the way it has others. I dont want to be a dissapointed as my mojo is very sensitive, and after only just getting back in the 'zone' i dont want to dent my willpower and motivation!!
I have to say, fishy week isnt killing me yet. although i know i havnt had as much variety of fish as others did during theres.. as i just cant stand fishy fish, salmon was as far as i could push it, and even then.. its still making me shiver a bit now!
but i havnt 'gagged' over a meal yet, i really thought i'd be turning green over the sight or smell of it by now, as it is day 4! - thats 8 fishy meals iv had. i am very proud of myself, i must admit. Even more so that i went out and bought more fish so that i could have 5 days fully fishy and just tomorrow with only lunch being fishy as were having friends over and a meaty dish is unavoiable.. whereas i let OH have shepards pie and i cooked my fishy meal seperate.
My feet are itching to jump on the scales.. luckily we dont own any otherwise i know i would've been on them by now.. and it didnt cross my mind whilst at mothers earlier. I will resist, only because i never have a good loss when i sneak pear- may be a co-incidence but it warns me off now.
sorry for ramble!

Oooh you only have 4.5lb to go! (oh my gosh, just realised you have half lbs on your ticker.. i couldnt get mine to do that!!!
il deffinatly keep updating my diary and let you know wednesday as always. I hope im not dissapointed.. even if its *only 3lb* and i say only in the sence that 3lbs tends to always be my average 'big loss' when i get one.. anything more is fabulous, and means it really did give me a better boost than just being 'extra good' x

Well good luck ! Yes my first target is only 4.5lbs away but will be going further afterwards. It is funny how when I started out I put 10 stone as my semi-realistic target weight and now I'm at it I feel I could go so much further with it

Really? how much further do you think you'l go?
10st 1 is my 'original target weight' and was easily maintainable for over a year before i revised it and dropped another 7lbs.
Theres a part of me that wants to push it to 9st, but i think i could easily get carried away, and i genuinly think im meant to be curvy, i do have boobs and hips, and a bum.. and i do notice when i am at my lower weight of 9st 8, i start too loose too much weight around my shoulders.. and i think anymore, my collar bones would stick out just a bit too much. I like to 'see' them, but i dont them to stick out like a sore thumb! x

Ahh yes I wouldn't wanna be a boney lass but I'm very wee at 5foot2 and I still carry quite a bit of weight on me. I think another stone and I might be at a more 'ideal healthy' weight for my height. From your photos you always look a healthy and natura size, quite slender but curvy
