Here I go again!!

[Ruthie-D]

Well another SW day nearly done, I really feel my route to success this time will be planning. I quite enjoyed the creamy curry thingy last night, I was thinking when I was eating it that some SW chips would go well with this, even though I was eating fried rice with it. I might do it again when I am craving a takeaway and have it with the fried rice and SW chips mmmmmm. I did well again with my water intake today I managed over the two litres today . The kids are back in school tomorrow so the plan is to get my walking shoes on and move this backside.

Lol to the wine.

Magic porridge is the porridge and yogurt isn't it? Do you just eat it as it is? All gloopey and thick?

Hope your settling into plan. I find being prepared really helps. I'm making slimming world donner kebab tonight. I've never had a real donner kebab before so I have nothing to compare to. But it sounds good.

How much would you like to lose?

Sorry hun, only noticing the last part of the post, I would like to to loose just over 3 and a half stone to start with and then see how it goes then but it probably wont be much more than that as I am quite curvy naturally.

 

[Ruthie-D]

I have had such a busy day running around I am very tired this evening. I was sitting with the kids when they were doing homework and thought, I would love to just curl up on the sofa tonight with a big Chinese, but I didn't I got on with making dinner and I am so glad I did. I managed my walk this morning so that's another 3.5 mile walk again this morning . My food intake was a bit iffy today not that I went off plan or anything its just I did not eat enough during the day due to running around and having loads to do and having visitors. Though at lunchtime I went into a cafe and there was nothing really that was suitable for me to eat, was hoping for a baked potato and beans but they potatoes were not ready, so whilst hubby tucked into a pie mash and gravy, I setted for a mullar light and and melon.
I have decided to do a red tomorrow and see how that goes for me.

Lunch: Mullar Light and Melon
Dinner: chicken and chrorizo Jambalaya 2.5 syns with a WW petit pan with 1 teaspoon of I cant believe its not butter 1.5 syns 1 can of diet pepsi

[Ruthie-D]

Today was a bit of crappy day, I had some not so great news, which I was half expecting but when you have things confirmed its still kind of hard. Now, my usual way to deal with things that are out of my control is to eat my way through, but not today! I did my 3.5 mile walk again today so that's three days in a row feeling good about that. Its my WI tomorrow and I have no idea what to expect as I have fostered out my scales and I have visitation rights in the morning. If I had not done this I would know exactly how much a weigh everyday at different times of the day . Today I came up against my old nemesis butternut squash, don't get me wrong I love the stuff but trying to hack though it to get to the good stuff can be so hard. I persevered tho and I ended up with my butternut squash chips. I only managed one litre of water today but I will aim to have my full two litres tomorrow.

RED DAY.

Breakfast: 1 Banana and 1 orange
Lunch: Ham and cheese (HE:A) omelette with loads of mushrooms and onions. 1 can of diet pepsi
Dinner: 2 SW sausages, 2 rashers of bacon (fat removed) 2 slices of nimble bread made into eggy bread (HE:B) mushrooms and spicy BNS chips 1 can of diet pepsi.
HE:A: 42g of reduced fat cheddar
HE:B: 2 slices of w/m nimble, didn't manage to get my second B in so will be mindful of this on the next red or green day that I do.
SYNS:0

Well done on staying on plan despite the bad news. Hope you're ok x

 

[Texty_F]

Well done Ruthie for battling on despite your news. It takes willpower and determination sometimes and you used that today. Good luck for tomorrow

 

[Ruthie-D]

Thanks ladies, I am OK. this year had been such a dramatic year and its looking as if its not settling down any time yet,though I have come to a place were I have decided life can throw at me what it likes cause I am fed up of being fed up and worried! On to a much lighter note and one that pleases me me somewhat I had my WI in this morning and I lost 5.5lbs . I am over the moon with this as not once this week did I feel hungry or deprived oh and I also went for my 3.5 mile walk again that's four days this week. Will pop back on later to update my food diary.

 

[Ruthie-D]

I am still feeling quite happy with myself, I was just sat here thinking that when I have done any type of weight loss program before after WI I would always go mad and get a take-out or whatever and not account for it and start again the next day, well I had no intention on doing that today, I know its early days but I am pleased with not going down this road. I managed to get over my two litres of water today in fact I am way over, feeling quite thirsty today. Looking forward to a lie on in the morning, if the kids let me that is .

Fantastic loss Ruthie well done.

Thanks, Its given me the motivation to go at it full throttle again this week. The slimming world scotch eggs are just boiled eggs wrapped in sausage meat, I know some people then coat in wholemeal bread crumbs or smash but I never bother, just bake and that's it. Now my butcher is certified to sell sausages and such like and they are syn free, in saying that a lot of butchers here were doing it but they are not allowed any more, but this butcher has just been given the go ahead to carry on.

I have 4 weeks till a big Christmas party , I have a dress that I love but is quite clingy so it will have to be action stations for the next four weeks.
