Josie's Food Diary

[Josiecat]

Ok so yesterday was shocking. I ate way too much and the worse thing is it included losts of peanuts-I mean lots! and a custard slice. Oh and a Galaxy ripple....the list goes on.

I am deeply disappointed but am making a fresh start today and do feel focused. I have decided to stick to red days only for the moment as I tend to have the best losses on them and need to boost my weight loss as I expect I will have gained tomorrow....

Tuesday Red Day

Chicken pieces and cucumber
Banana
Choc n Raspberry Special K bar (4.5 syns)
12oz Skinny Mocha (Hex A, 4 syns)
2 Mini twister (5 syns)
Chicken, root veg mash (1.5 syns-clover), sprouts, potato(hex b)
Sugar free jelly with raspberries (0.5 syns)

Total syns=15.5 syns (oops lost track of syns-thought I was on about 10!)

Much better today, weigh in tomorrow and think I will have gained. I was 11 stone today so 1 pound gain (yes I am naughty shouldn't have weighed!)

Yay! Glad you feel focused again Josie! I think I'm back on it now... these things are sent to try us lol! xx

 

[rumbletummy]

Good luck for tomorrow Josie! Do you have breakfast? xx

 

[Josiecat]

Hi yes I do kinda have brekkie, Tuesday I do a half day so have a lie in and eat before I start at about 11am. The rest of the week I tend to have a banana and cereal bar. Never have time for anything else as I have to leave the house early as I travel quite a way to the school I work at.

Weigh in today and I have gained 1 pound taking me back up to 11 stone. I am not very happy at the moment, mainly because of work and this is impacting on my diet. Plus think I am in the pms zone which means I am having lots of sweet cravings. It's bad because I have only been working in teaching since September but hate it, well I like the teaching part but the problem with secondary school is you can't really teach because kids don't want to know and get away with so much compared to when I was in school. I like teaching post 16 but teenagers are such hard work!!!!!!!! Hopefully I can get a job in adult education soon!

 

[rumbletummy]

Aww, sorry to hear your problems work wise, it's horrible when you're not happy with work as you have to spend most of our time there afterall, I hope you find something you like soon

1lb is nothing, don't worry!! Here's to a fantastic week xx

i have just been reading your diary and sorry to hear you arnt enjoying your job. I had a friend who was a secondary school teacher and she always looked stressed, but my sister is in primary school and loves it so hope you can get to sort out the job as i know how much studying you had to do to be a teacher
Hope you have a better day

 

[rumbletummy]

Hey Josie! Hope you are OK and have had a better few days at school xx

 

[Josiecat]

Hi guys, sorry not been about, I have been off plan at the moment.

It is a mixture of work stress, plus I have a neck injury from a car accident in the summer which is playing up badly-I think the stress hasn't helped so I have been prescibed some extra strong painkillers and have been told I need to go for more physio.

Plus I am due on. These factors have all contributed to me not being in the right frame of mind to stick to plan. I know I will get back on plan but my head needs to get back to a good place. Sorry probably sounds like I am feeling really sorry for myself!!

 

[rumbletummy]

Aww, I'm exactly like that myself at the mo Josie! TOTM and I've had a terrible weekend!! But I really need to be on here so I at least try to STS and not put anymore weight on... just confessed all on my diary but going to try and be a good girl now until Thursday... not sure how well I will do but I will try my best!!

I really hope that you feel better soon, sending big hugs xx

 

[Josiecat]

Hi Josie just checking in to see how you are? I'm on a junk food ban and it seems to be working as I've had my first good day in such a long time! xx

 

[rumbletummy]

Hi Josie! Just popping on to say hi and hope you are OK xx

 

[Josiecat]

Hi guys sorry haven't been on in a while. I have been very stressed and unhappy which has meant I haven't dieted but I am feeling a bit more positive this week and have made some decisions about my career which are making me feel more hopeful.

I have weighed this morning and am 11 stone 1. I have been eating rubbish all month and my stomach is huge, a couple of kids even asked me if I'm preggers :-(

I am really going to try and stick to it now as I feel awful and my clothes are tight. I am going to stick to red days only as I seem to struggle losing on the others. Fingers crossed for me this time.

Hi Becky, it is a bit of an acquired taste but I have grown to enjoy it and I am going to see if it boosts my losses. My friend told me she does this and loses weight quicker so we will see x
