Kirsty's road back to target in time for Kefalonia 2013!

[Dougal1983]

Good morning diary!

I'm a happy bunny today- I got dressed this mooning and had to put a safety pin in my trousers as they were falling down
Off shopping again on Sunday so smaller sizes here we come

I think this will be a strange week as I only need to lose 1lb before I fall out of my target range and I'm loving being on plan that I will struggle to fall off plan, so to speak.
I lost 2.5lbs this week after being 100% so I don't really want to do that again, although I could just wear heavier clothes to WI maybe?!

Only one thing to get in my way- wedding anniversary on Tuesday 2 whole years so going out for dinner that night- actually thinking about it I'll be 100% all the way until Tuesday evening then go off plan for the night and hopefully it'll even itself out for Wedneday WI!!

Anyway here's today's plan:

EXTRA EASY

Thursday 1st August 2013

HEXA: 350ml skimmed milk
HEXB: 2 Alpen light bars

Breakfast

1 Alpen light bar (1/2 HEXB) and black coffee

Lunch

leftover tuna pasta salad with mayo

Dinner

Salad with prawns, smoked salmon and crabsticks. Plus new potatoes

Syns

2 tbsp extra light mayo (1)
Alpro soya dark chocolate dessert (6)
Rich Tea finger (1)

[Dougal1983]

Well it al happened this morning- I ate the banana, then threw up! It happened on Tuesday morning when I had a banana so naturally I was worried.
Was in a lot of pain and not in the best state (I suffer with anxiety too) so I didn't go to work, went to the docs instead.
Doc is pretty certain it's IBS, but I'm going in for a blood test next week to rule out other things.

So I've been prescribed Mebevrine for my IBS and I have to avoid my trigger foods.

So far its:

Banana's
Spicy food
Dairy food in large quantities (eg ice cream)

I'm sure there'll be more!

Anyway I'm feeling rough so have brought myself some treats from Tesco- prob means a very synful day but for once I don't care- I only have 1lb to lose and I know I can get back on track tomorrow.

I just need a treat day so I'm having one X

 

[Dougal1983]

Good morning diary!

Well I'm feeling much better today- I did have a bit of a treat day but didn't really eat proper meals (apart from dinner) just picked all day, mainly crisps (I seem to have an addiction to Hula Hoops!!).
So I was happy to see it hasn't done too much damage on the scales this morning and I feel now, like I've got it out of my system and I'm back on plan today.

Big test tonight as I'm going to make a curry. I know I'm supposed to avoid it, but with my meds, I'm hoping I won't react too badly.
The thing is, I love curry. And I'm craving it, so I'm going to put up with the consequences.

So here's today's plan:

EXTRA EASY

HEXA: 40g reduced fat cheddar
HEXB: 2 slices wholemeal bread

Breakfast

Toast with marmite

Lunch

leftover meatball pasta bake

Dinner

chicken madras, Tilda rice, bhaji's and poppadums

Syns

Tilda pilau micro rice (2.5)
2 mini onion Bhaji's (5)
2 mini vegetable samosas (5)
1 Poppadum (2)
1 tbsp Patak's madras curry paste (2)

Daily Syns: 16.5

Weekly Syns:

 

[Dougal1983]

Well I've been naughty again- picking at crisps and more crisps!!
Again not had proper meals apart from dinner oops!

Really need to get back on plan, and not buy more Hula Hoops!!!

Curry went down very well, tummy is fine so far.

Off shopping tomorrow, hopefully pop into M&S for some lunch

 

[Dougal1983]

Well done Kirsty, you must be so chuffed to be at a lovely low weight in time for your jolly hols

 

[Dougal1983]

Thanks everyone, yes I'm chuffed to bits

And excited for my holiday, so I'm bouncing off the ceiling right now!!

I actually weigh 7lbs less than I did when I went to Kefalonia 2 years ago

Happy days x

 

[Dougal1983]

Went to docs for blood test earlier, then did the most un-SW shop ever in Tesco whoops! Think I'm in holiday mode already

 

[kim63]

Go for it Kirsty, thats what holidays are for......life is for living. You're a lovely healthy weight now and maintaining, so a couple of weeks out of the year enjoying the pleasures in life with good food, will do you the world of good.
I'll be in your position in 2 weeks, as going to London with a girlfriend for the weekend and then hubby and I are off camping in the Lakes for a week.....I wont be following SW to the letter either lol! x

 

[b_44]

Hope you have a lovely holiday! Slimming world can most definitely wait until you return lol

 

[Dougal1983]

Hello everyone!

I'm back!

Had the most amazing holiday, lots of relaxation and too much food and alcohol lol but that's what holidays are for!

Not weighing in officially until Wednesday but jumped on scales today and they say 11st 10lbs so that would be 10lbs gain, a bit more than I expected but totally worth it!

Back on plan straight away in the hope I can lose a couple of lb before Wednesday and then its strict all the way until I'm back down to 11st.
