Kim's Food Diary

[MidwifeKim]

Well i am 1 week today and it's WI tonight, but i thought i would start a food diary so i can name and shame myself when i fall off the wagon!

Today:
Green (i keep thinking about trying EE or M2M but i just don't get it!!!! :sigh:)

B: Oats so Simple HEb
Teaspoon of Low Sugar Jam (1syn?!)
Milk - SS, HEa

Snack: mullerlight yogurt & strawberries

L: Salad with small amount of chicken (3 syns)
Extra Light Mayo small amount (1syn?!)
ML Yogurt & Kiwi fruit after

Dinner: Pasta with tomatoes and sweetcorn
ML Yogurt

Snack: 4 Mikado sticks (2syns)

I am hoping for a weight loss tonight, i have tried so hard this week just one possible problem on Saturday with a meal out, but i chose wisely and had jacket potato rather than chips with chicken and corn on the cob, i shared a starter with my bf and said no to dessert! So hopefully it won't make too much of a difference! *fingers crossed*

 

[MidwifeKim]

Hey Kim
just wanted to pop by and say hi, and a huge congrats on your 2lb loss thats fantastic.
I noticed our starting a midwifery course in september, so am I. Seems like its coming around so quickly, are you excited to be starting?x

 

[MidwifeKim]

Hi Little Red,
I know it is suddenly coming around quickly - i can't quite believe it, i applied not thinking i would get a place and suddenly, i've had to give me notice at work and am heading back to being a student. I am very excited yes but a little aprehensive about the money and how i'll cope with so little of it! haha.
Is your course a 3year degree?

Thank you for the congrats...a LONG way to go, but i really don't want to be an overweight midwife!

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

WI was yesterday - i stayed the same, but equally can't tell if it's truthful or not as it the "wrong time of the month" and my weight fluctuates badly during that time...so back on it and hoping for a decent loss next week!

I'm thinking about trying mix2max tomorrow as i haven't had a red day in almost 3 weeks...sort of missing meat but can never manage a whole day on red...have to read my book tonight and get my head around it properly!

 

[MidwifeKim]

Well i fell off the wagon over the weekend and this continued into today as i've just eaten a chicken and salad baguette from the shop around the corner as i couldn't work out what i wanted for lunch this morning.

Tonight i am going to do a weekly plan as i REALLY need to introduce some red days as i am feeling so bloated i feel about 9months pregnant! Not good! So thats the plan, back on the waggon tomorrow and going to try and minimise the damage of my baguette by walking the dog and doing some wii fit tonight.

WI tonight so i'm expecting a gain!

 

[MidwifeKim]

OK Back on the waggon from today! Somehow and i am not sure how - i lost 1lb last week - i think catch up from the previous week where i stayed the same but was the wrong time of the month..must be good this week to keep last weeks disaster from catching up on me!

I did do a fair bit of walking and also - spent Monday decorating the living room - painting the ceiling which actually had me out of breath (made me realise how unfit i am!!) so hoping i can balance the cheesecake with the exercise (wishful thinking!)
