Oh my good lord, I had no idea how long it was since I updated my diary!
After my shenanigans in Spain and Dublin I managed to put on 2.5lb, but at my weigh in last week I had lost 3lb, so that gives me an overall loss of 8.5lb, which to be honest is a horrendously miserable amount to have lost since Jan and I really am disgusted with myself. I should have lost a stone by now, but my lackadasiness has meant I am where I am now.
My mum has lost 12lb, so I am a few lb behind her, my only saving grace is she only has another stone to lose, so her loss will start slowing down.
My sister has been consistently putting on weight so I am not worried about her in my competition, however she has started a new role in work which could see her eclipse us both at any time!!
Started my new job 2 weeks ago and it is great. Everyone is lovely. I also made what is for me, a momentous decision.....I told people that I am doing ww and trying to lose weight. Now, on the face of it this is not a big deal. But no matter what diet I have done in the past I have never admitted to anyone that I was dieting or attempting to lose weight, even exculding my family from that knowledge wherever possible. So for me, this is a HUGE big deal, and I think it is helping me.
Food wise, I have been eating porridge for brekkie as usual, 0 point soup for lunch, with a bread roll, and making fruit salad every couple of days and having that as an afternoon snack. I have also been having a hot cross bun as a kid morning snack, and then my dinner in the evening. Have also been drinking more water and hopefully this will pay dividends.
I decided to up what points I used during the day, as I was saving loads for the evening, and as a result was either not usng enough points or using too much, so my theory is that if I eat more regulalrly during the day, I will feel fuller in the evening and then I will be unlikely to binge in the evening.
I also feel that being open with people I work with about my plan is a great achievement, I work in a very big office with a very small number of staff, and 2 of the ladies that work there are quite overweight. One goes on 'oh I will be skinny one day' but I can tell that she is not willing to do anything about it, and the other lady is trying to lose weight as well, so we are chatting and sharing tips and asking how each other are getting on so its a nice bit of support in work.
Hoping for a good weigh in this week, I need to up my game as well though and need to exercise more, but my new job has really drained me so I have no energy in the evenings so I will need to get up earlier and go on the wii in the mornings!!
