KANKLES FOOD DIARY

[Kankles]

Friday 1st April

Ok so I'm not going to post a food diary today. After a week of really really working hard to lose the weight I had my weigh in this morning and lost (wait for it) 1 whole lb.

Gutted she says, ooooh no, stark raving mad. I got on the scales see "1lb" are you kidding me. I get off the scales, adjust them making sure they're flat and straight, get back on, yep "1lb". After shoving the scales back in the corner, I stomp around the kitchen, bang my cup down when OH rings me, how did you do he asks, oh great love I reply (sarcasm spilling out from every pore) i lost 1lb. Oh that's good he says. "Good?" I spit out, i've been drinking water every day (which I don't like very much), I've been eating more sf food with my meals, and i've uped my syn intake, all for 1lb. Ok so I know a lot of people will say "it's still a loss" and yes of course it is but last week I STS, worked my butt off this week and really pushed as I wanted at least 2lb. I did initially want 2.5lb but negotiated with myself that 2 would put me at 10st 7lbs which was my next goal weight! (not my target, I've set myself mini goals along the way)

So there we have the reason for my rant. I missed my target (2 weeks running now I may add) by 1 whole lb.

So what am I going to do.....well nothing of course, I've had my rant, I had a day of right I've had enough, and after arguing with myself in the corner for half the evening ive decided I'm just going to try harder next week!

Ok so before anyone calls taxi for kankles or the men in White coats, yes I am mad, but I'm back on the pills and just stepped back on the SW train!

And for that you should be congratulated massively cos I know alot of people would have said 'nuts' to it, I've tried, I lost my minimum so forget it and sought solace in a bag of chips, chocolate and wine. Actually thinking about it ..........chips,........choc....mmmm.......wine.....ahhhhhhh.......stop no! Sorry I drifted for minute. But you just getting up and carrying on is just what you need to do. Think how awful you'd have felt if you'd gained a pound, so be equally happy with losing one. I know it's not what you wanted but it's a start in the right direction to that next target. Trust me next week will be different. Don't change anything tho. Keep keeping on gal. Luv ya x

Well I do have confession! I did give in to a beef curry & egg fried rice from the Chinese last night! I know I know, but it had to be done!

ooohh I know, I bought the mag and saw it....it looks yummy so will definitely be giving that a go. The chicken wrapped in bacon looked good too.

For anyone who may pop along and read this, I have decided to restart my food diary.

I had a few weeks of slow/zero losses followed by a good loss, followed by a inconvenient stomach bug that left me right off certain foods, including my daily vice of coffee. So having made the choice to take a break from SW for the royal wedding weekend, I'm pleased to say that I have not gained and remain where I was last weigh in.

However I am now determined and have an insatiable drive to reach my next goal of getting in to 9stones, followed by my 2nd goal of reaching 2 stone lost when I reach 9st 12lbs.

So here's my diary for today! Feel free to comment, criticise, or even throw tomatoes, anything & everything welcome!

Green Day

Breakfast
Banana & satsuma
Coffee with SS milk (hexa)

Lunch
Cheesy pasta bake as follows:
70g spiral pasta
71g philadelphia light (hexb)
42g low low cheese (hexa)
Pinch garlic granuals
Pinch onion granuals

2 x Coffee with SS milk (hexa)

Dinner
Fried rice as follows:
Long grain boiled rice
1 large egg beaten
1/2 onion
1/3 cup frozen peas
1 tsp olive oil (hexb)

Coffee with SS milk (hexa)

2 glasses SF squash

Snack before bed
Satsuma

Ok so a bit of a mash up day today, started with brilliant intentions as normal and huh well I can't say bang cos I think I missed it but something happened and I don't know if I had green, red or blooming yellow day today :-} confused.com

Lunch
Bacon & egg sandwich (hexb)

Dinner
Banana followed by low fat chilli chicken super noodles

That's it, obviously had coffee (hexa) but where's the rest. Madness I must have lost a few hrs somewhere. So I ask is this a red, green or EE day???

Oh dear Kankles! I can soo feel your angst...

Can't help feeling that you are another one going down the "all or nothing at all" route..followed by the - I'm a failure - I'm useless - type of mantra when you don't manage to stay at 100%.

These are the times to accept that you had a blip or maybe just a treat and don't get so up tight about it. Keeping a relaxed attitude will help you to get back to the job in hand, after all it happens to the best of us at one time or another....

All the best for continuing in your quest to be a slimmer you ...

Hi emmaline it's been a while since you popped in!

I think I may have misrepresented my post. I did intend it to be humourous! I guess I failed a bit on that one!!!!

One thing with me is a never take things too seriously, obviously I am committed to losing the weight otherwise I wouldn't have come this far or continue with my posts, however at the same time, I'm human & I think it's perfectly fine to have an off day, or even an off weekend.

As always I thank you for taking the time to read my little diary and always welcome your comments.

Ps I will try not to be a comedian! If I was on stage I may have been booed off x x
