I really like butternut squash, carrots, onion & coriander soup. I cut the squash today for some veg for me so shall have to make the soup very soon.

Ours was butternut squash onion light coconut milk and Thai curry paste

Not a very SW day as there is real butter on the bagels and I've just had 1.5 cookies as we shared 3 between us

As I said on the target thread I am considering not weighing in this week as I don't think I can cope with a third gain in 3 weeks which I am virtually 100% sure will happen.

I am getting myself into a right frenzy about this and once again scales are ruling my life.

I get like that, and best not to go, work at it, and go in a couple of weeks time.

 

[janetelizabeth]

Jaffa...you haven't been well and then the food yesterday probably hasn't helped... I know that some target members come but aren't always weighed, can you do that? I know you are part of the social team.

I have to go to class I run pay/computer enter new members etc and I never miss a class unless pre arranged in case my friend who runs shop can't cover.

We have all become very close on the social team and they all came to my party we have all been going 3 years plus.

Tuesday night is more then just weigh in and I just can't let people down.

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yes that's what I meant...go along as usual but don't get weighed?

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I think that is going to be the plan. It is star week as well so I have been eating chocolate and biscuits all evening so I just feel.bloated fat and pretty damn awful tonight
I feel a bit disgusted with myself but I suppose 3 ginger biscuits and a couple of chunks of chocolate isn't that bad but it feels bad to me.

 

[janetelizabeth]

No that doesn't sound a lot to me either...my little lot the other day was a treat size bag of large white chocolate buttons, followed by a treat size bag of Yorkie buttons, followed by "2" fresh cream & jam doughnuts! You should worry???? And all before lunch...

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I have also had 1 American bagel with real butter and 1.5 cookies so nope not a great day at all

I need to get my focus back

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Scales are still up and it's star week .

Just getting ready to go to the gym for half an hour. Won't do much but it has to be better then doing nothing

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yes take it easy at the gym...
If you're not weighing in tomorrow and it's * week, maybe give yourself a break from weighing for a couple of days?

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Gym done I only did 20 mins treadmill and 3 machines so just over half an hour.
Now off to Marks to take back two purses as they are both too small for me

I need to weigh to keep on track but I know what you're saying

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yes I know, I'm the same, for the good or other. Good going at the gym....that will burn some calories off.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Probably not enough to burn off the extras I have eaten today now I know I'm not weighing tomorrow

Stupid chocolate cravings

Do you like gingerbread as I bought a new Alpro soya dessert from Tesco in the free from ambient section.
4 pack like the others and 5.5 syns
gingerbread man flavour and it is gorgeous

I can post a picture later if you want

 

[janetelizabeth]

Yes I probably would like that very much!! I like the dark choc ones...so smooth! I'll have a look in Morrison's tomorrow and see if they're stocking them yet.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Sorry picture will have to wait till tomorrow but yes it looks the same as the dark chocolate one

I will start recording again tomorrow as I have no idea what I have eaten today as I munched on silly things like jelly sweets and nuts

Not warned my consultant yet I won't be weighing in . I hope she is ok about it

 

[janetelizabeth]

Would you generally warn her? The lady that mostly weighs us often tells me she hasn't weighed because she's had a bad week etc. Another thing that happens is that members can tell the consultant that they don't want a mention when she does the rundown of how people did that week. That seems to happen a lot for members of the social team...

 

[Jaffa Cake]

I do generally text her but yeah you're right I don't have to I just get the guilty feeling I should let her know which is daft.

 

[janetelizabeth]

You'll be fine...you'll soon be where you want to be again.
