Jane's Diary

[jane123]

Thank you crystal. It is nice to be back at home . We are going to an after wedding party tonight and have booked into the hotel it's at. To be honest, I could do without it but will probably enjoy it once I'm there. I weighed myself this morning and had gone down a quarter of a pound. I'm sure it's more in reality though. I weighed much earlier than normal as I had to be up and out early! It's all go.

I've not eaten much today, partly because I've been too busy.

One Alpen light bar, one highlights choc drink. Milk in two coffees. One apple and one banana with banana and custard muller light on it. That was lovely. I'm planning on having a quick salad with couscous, chicken, beetroot, lettuce and toms before we go out. I really don't want to eat at the party as I imagine it'll all be what I call brown food i.e. Bread, drumsticks, mini pies, quiches, mini pizzas etc. plus big fattening deserts. If I can find salad I'll eat some of that.

Hope you're doing ok. I always feel like eating more when the weather is so miserable!

Morning crystal

Wedding party was fine as it was in a newly refurbished part of the hotel. Food looked ok but I didn't have any just in case I ate too much. The first bedroom we saw stank of cigarettes plus it was dire! Second bedroom smelt better but was still dire. I laid my clothes on top of a suit bag rather than on the furniture! I inspected the bed on rising to make sure there were no blood spots I.e. Bed bugs but it looked ok. Woke at 6, jumped in car ( having prepaid) with unbrushed teeth etc and drove straight home. Immediately stripped of and showered so now feel ok.

I jumped on the scales before my shower and had gone down another pound so that's 1.25 less than when I went on Hols. Hopefully there should be a loss at wi on Wednesday.

My date is now going to be taken up with washing and ironing! Plus I meal out tonight at the little manor!!

What are you up to today?

Ooops! How did that happen

 

[BlondeGem]

Aw no Jane, that sounds horrible. I don't mind where I stay as long as it's clean, if it's not then I can't relax How was the actual wedding itself?

Going to drop in at Mum and Dad's this afternoon then go to the gym I think, I haven't 100% made up my mind on that one so I'm not commiting myself just yet

 

[BlondeGem]

ps well done on the loss, I bet it comes down even further by WI - that is fantastic considering you've been on holiday, all that hard work is paying off

 

[jane123]

We didn't attend the actual wedding, just the evening do. The bride looked gorgeous, she had a lovely wedding dress. I had a very small wedding at the registry office and my dress was a fairly plain cream coloured one. I don't regret it but it would have been nice to have a completely over the top do . I was only about 9 stone 4 pound then and I thought I was fat! Now I'd be happy to be 11 stone.

I need to get back to the gym and swimming. I'm paying a monthly fee for nothing right now!

How long until you see your husband again? Mine is off to Prague on business tomorrow. I could have gone but would have found it a bit boring during the day on my own. There is only so much wandering around like a lost soul i can do! Plus I would have had a nightmare food week again.

Morning Jane

Maybe you could renew your vows and have the whole big white wedding do?! I was 11 stone when I got married and was so upset that I hadn't managed to lose weight, oooh I would love to be 11 stone again!

Hubby is due back on Friday but this is not 100% as he might have to stay on for another project I know it's part of the job but we can't really plan anything which is difficult.

How long is your hubby away for? I totally know what you mean about it being hard food wise when you're away from home, it really puts me off.

 

[BlondeGem]

How are you doing Jane? Is it WI day for you tomorrow?

 

[jane123]

Hi crystal. I'm doing really well. I'm looking forward to wi tomorrow

I've had a busy day and I've not eaten much. Pineapple and two yogurts for sort of brunch. Should have had more but just couldn't be bothered and I was rushing this morning first thing.

Tea has been salmon fillet, herb salad, beetroot in balsamic and two tomatoes. I'm thinking I might make a chocolate drink with low fat squirty cream on it.

My hubby is due back Friday night late. Meals are so easy when he's away, I do miss him though. Have you found out if your husband is back for sure on Friday?

[jane123]

I've just noticed that you've lost 8lb in 4 weeks Crystal. That is o good, wish I could loose at that rate

Xx

 

[BlondeGem]

Your dinner sounds lovely Jane, I can taste it from here

He's not going to be home until next Wednesday at the earliest now unfortunately Ah well it's just the nature of the job so just need to go with it! I know what you're saying, it is easier when it's just yourself you have to worry about food wise but we do miss them though don't we!

Looking forward to seeing what the scales say for you tomorrow

 

[jane123]

Really good wi

3lb off so very pleased.

Ate after wi so have had a banana, an apple and a chocolate drink at the meeting.

Only 1/2 lb more to go to get my next 7 lb at Sw. It won't be too long before I'm in the overweight bmi range instead of the obese!

We've not heard off Lynda, I wonder how she's doing?

Xx

 

[BlondeGem]

Wow Jane that is fantastic! Considering you have been away on hols you have done amazingly well, it just shows we can go away and enjoy ourselves and still lose weight!

 

[jane123]

Evening meal : salmon, lettuce, beetroot, toms and ... This s exciting ...... Low fat cottage cheese

I've just had some fresh cherries and coffee. I love fresh cherries but hate glacé cherries! Earlier I had activia zero fat vanilla yogs. I like them much more than mullerlights, they are creamier.

Think I might have an early night, telly is rubbish. I've set animal Hoarders to record

Xx

 

[BlondeGem]

Hi Jane how are you doing? You've been very quiet this week!

 

[jane123]

Hi crystal. Don't know why I've been quiet really . Foods been a bit boring this week! Just weighed myself pre Sw weigh in and it would appear I've gone up! Sometimes I feel I'll have to resort to nill by mouth, but I know that's silly! I'm so sad.....just weighed myself in a few different clothes combinations to get the lightest

Btw I had a lovely breakfast yesterday. Porridge made with water with an activia raspberry zero fat Yog and fresh raspberries stirred through. It was delicious. I think I'll have it on my return from wi. Might be back early as waiting for a parcel due to arrive today.b. I'm half a pound off my next seven so if by some miracle I've lost I'll hang on for my sticker. Somehow I doubt it though!

Hope you're ok and doing well. Speak later xx

 

[jane123]

Gone up a pound

Just eaten three of the new rocky road bars!!

They are lovely and sweet and have chocolate on them. Mmmmmmmmm . Its ridiculous. My sister in law quaffs wine and eats deserts like there's no tomorrow and she's losing! maybe if I cheat a little I'll lose!!!

Ah well! Porridge is done .

Xx

 

[jane123]

Well I cheated a little and put on another pound! I'm really in the doldrums right now. Ive come to the conclusion that I need to post here every day with what I eat. Somehow it makes me more focused. So here goes......

Nothing as yet. I've an early appointment at the dreaded dentist so I'll have something when I get back. Plus I ate too much yesterday in a fit of pique which has left me still feeling sort of full and sickly. Don't you find that eating the wrong things makes you feel off colour?

We are off to Cambridge next week, stopping in hotels. I actually seem to find it easier when I'm away from temptation at home. The following week we are going to America and that I am dreading! Anyway, got to do my second brushing so back later.
