Jaylou's diary~Much better now!

[jaylou]

Oh god, where do I start - my house is upside down, I hate mess, it unsettles my little head.
The weather is yuk but we are going for a lovely walk tomorrow so hopefully after some fresh air I'll start to feel better.

A very healthy jacket spud with beans for dinner tonight, with a measured ounce of cheese starts me off on Actual Bank Holiday Weekend Effort.

 

[jaylou]

Hmph. Actual Effort did not start. Actual CBA continued and I gained....
wait for it.....
A lot.

Grr. I will write everything down this week. I need to stop messing about, I really do. I need to plan plan plan.

[jaylou]

Hola my friend! Yep been and not long got back. Guess what...... no weight gain! Whoopeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I've not been on much, the diary has not been updated as I found it wasn't doing me much good but now I need to be super good for my next holiday so I'm going to start writing down again for the next few weeks.

Here goes for today....

[Meli]

Welcome back - you were missed! Great news about not putting on any weight during your holiday.

 

[jaylou]

Thanks Meli!

I'm really pleased I didn't gain, I was careful but just indulged a little each day. It felt good not to come back all blobby like I usually do!

Today is another GREEN day

Breakfast - a banana. I know, but I was dashing out of the door early and didn't want anything more.

Lunch - scrambled eggs and tomatoes on 2 small toast (B). FF yoghurt and blueberries

Dinner - Spanish omelette and baked beans with salad. Cheese (A)

A - milk B - a wholemeal pitta (not the official one but I'm attributing my B choice to it even though it's naughty!)

I also had extra cheese and some crisps. Boo.

 

[Roz V]

Congratulations on not gaining whilst on holiday! That took massive determination, but the result was so worth it! You must be delighted, and are an example to us all!!!

 

[jaylou]

I think it was down to quite a lot of exercise Roz, we walked an awful lot each day, probably at least 5 miles - nice and steady but still exercise!
I'm struggling this week to be honest, it's hard to get back to normal eating. My meals are okay but I'm finding I'm not very satisfied with what I'm eating - I want bread with my meals and croissants for breakfast!

Oh well, if I'm a bit on track it's better than not at all. Here's to a good weekend.

Friday EE

Breakfast - 28g muesli with FF yoghurt and blueberries

Lunch -

Dinner - Chicken Korma (from the new curry book) with boiled rice.

A - milk

 

[jaylou]

Eggs are fab Allie! I love them (when not in a cake!). In total yesterday I had 4.5 eggs - 3 between my daughter and I for lunch and 3 in my Spanish omelette. Eggs rule.

Holiday was super, I love the sun and it's great that we have it here this week too. Roll on the next holiday!

 

[HellieCopter]

Eggs do indeed rule!!!

Seriously impressed with your hols effort. I am sure walking will have helped.

[Loopeylou]

Well done on not gaining on hols....hoping I get the same result this week
xx

 

[jaylou]

Boo - I may not have gained on hols but I did this week. I'm thoroughly fed up with it all at the moment which is not like me. I just want to eat rubbish all the time, I want sweets, cake, bread, cheese and stodge. I had lunch for work ready the other day, yet I went to Tesco and bought 2 sandwiches - how bad is that. I feel really crappy right now.
Ah, it's not like me to moan and I know all the answers. I need a really really good week this week. I have my food ready for today and I need to stick with it.

Breakfast - blueberries and strawberries with FF greek yoghurt

Lunch - Roasted pepper cous cous (from the mag) it's lovely! A banana

Dinner - Scrambled egg, mushrooms, tomatoes and baked beans on toast (2 small bread B choice)

For supper I will have my other B choice of ryvita with an A choice of cheese on top.

I'm off to sulk.

 

[Meli]

Maybe it's close to * week that you are getting these cravings? You have a good menu on today, so hope you can stick with it. I find that having the 0% Total Yogurt with a Skinny Cow Indulgent Hot Chocolate fills me up, so may be good for the sweet cravings and only 2 syns. Good luck with sticking to plan

 

[*EB*]

oh Jaylou you sound down in the dumps - sending you a huge bear hug xxxx ((HUGS)) any better? xxx

 

[jaylou]

Ah Ellebear, that's better. Thanks chick.
I am fed up, no idea why. I'm actually going out for a pizza tonight, I cba to cook a thing. I am having this pizza and then that's it. I'm doing success express for the rest of the week!
