LJ's Journey to be Slim by Sixty

[bubble77]

Well I've had a strange day - I expected a poor loss after sneaky weighs in the week - yet I lost 2.2lbs - so feel better after my sts last week. I hope CJ is ok with her WI and Snoopy is on the mend? Also Mo has moved out and sale has gone thro? Doreen I hope ur doing ok on plan and coping with the dog? Thinking of LJ too - bet ur looking forward to ur Easter break/trip?

I went for a bone scan this morning - I was diagnosed with osteopenia (the precursor to osteoporosis) 3 years ago and have been on calcium & vitamin D tablets since then but the scan showed that my bone density has further reduced - my mother and grandmother were badly affected with osteoporosis. But the real was shock was that the doctor mentioned that a letter from my GP said that I'd been taking another drug to help the bone d for 3 years - but I haven't even had a prescription for it - so that's a blow - will have to sort that.

Here's my food inc WI treats:

B: bacon, egg, bread HEB, tomato sauce 1 syn? orange

T: bacon, cheese HEA, onion and tomato on toast (cheating by counting bread as HEA!)
3 SW brownies 2 syns + HEB topped with nutella 7 syns with toffee yog, quark mixed with gelatine and a pear

Freddi in multipack 4.5 syns (compared with 5 when sold singly!!) marshmallow 2 syns?

Total syns = 16.5

Hope I get back on plan in the morning!! Hubby in Ireland on biz - coming home tonight and is looking forward to the long weekend and wants to eat out a couple of times

Exercise 20 mins walk

Drinks: fruit teas, water = 2.05L, diet pepsi -

Missed this, well done on that superdooper loss this week. Ive been worried about you.

Why are the multipack freddos less syns? Ive always bought the multipack ones oooh that 1/2 a syn makes a difference!!

So proud of you for sticking to your guns after being so upset last week. xxxxx

Thx Bubble - just realised I've lost 2 stone now. No need to be worried - I've been helping with my granddaughter as she's been ill and may have to have an op and today had to have a bone scan - and had a day out after - so not been on Minis much today!!

The Freddos in the multipack must be half a syn smaller but I can't tell - but as u say a half syn makes a difference!!

Upndown, sorry to hear about your bone scan. Well done on your weight loss this week too. I know you were not happy last week but you stuck to your guns, Great.

I did not post yesterday, I just kept eating sandwiches then ate some choc and marshmallows. Why Why??? I knew I was to get weighed today and with a bit of water in legs got no chance now of a loss and meeting the family this weekend Fri to Sunday. On the menu for Sat night is fish and chips. Oh dear.

Going to get weighed shortly, would half and hour delay make any difference one wonders Actually weighin going on longer as no club tomorrow so two together. No talk this week because of the double class.

Going now, bet the queue will be long. Let you know later.

Well never mind Doreen - we all have gains - usually when we're having fun and life wd be miserable without those times wdn't it??!! I'm sure u'll get back on plan as soon as u can.

Like u we're having a sociable weekend - lots of wicked things will be trying to get me to eat them and I'm bound to give in!! Enjoy ur Easter.

Oh you made me laugh out loud. I gave her the kids chocolate too. It was all getting a bit tempting.


I saw that burger in the fakeaway book, it it quite a good book. Have spent some time dividing recipies for 2 people.

Don't start me on 'hiding' choc - on the day I bought children's Easter eggs - I put them in hubby's car boot - just hope they're not 'all shook up' like in the Elvis song - also that this hot weather hasn't melted them lol!!

I haven't got the Fakeaway book - I just googled the burger recipe cos someone mentioned it on Minis - they were lovely & can recommend.

Only thing was that my freezer needed to be repaired urgently & I had to defrost it - had a fair bit in there - gave half to the family & cooked the mince with onion and stored it in fridge for a day - then chose that recipe but it called for raw mince & onions to be mixed with raw egg then fried - so mine didn't really bind and were a bit crumbly.

Hi hope everyone's had good weather and enjoyed the day - we went cycling for 90 mins today round a lake in the hills - it was our first outing with the bikes this year & I'm not a proficient cyclist & was very wobbly - thank goodness we only use traffic free routes!! Will be aching for sure in the morning.

We had lunch and tea out but stuck as close to plan as poss (didn't want to 'spoil' the effect of the exercise I think!)

B: bacon, egg & tomatoes then an apple to make up the 2/3 (for Success Express)

L: chilli and baked potato - at the lake café - hope the chilli was syn free but it probably wasn't very lean mince!

Snack: banana and an apple again for 2/3 for Succ Exp

T: lamb steak, broccoli, mange tout, new potatoes (no butter), red wine jus (5 syns?)

Snack: SW brownie 1.5 syns + HEB with banana, toffee yog, quark and gelatine

Water - not very much today - hard to measure while I was out - about half a litre??

Total syns = approx 6.5 + whatever's in full fat mince (in chilli)

Nice food Mo - making me feel hungry now - I've had my rations and 14 syns today - whoops - enjoyed every morsel so going to the shed now to sow some more seeds - if only I could grow chocolate bars, cake and ..........

Hope u've had a good day and are beginning to relax after all the hassle with the house.

 

[upndown]

Here's my food for today - just inside the legal limit with 14 syns!!

B: boiled egg with stick of celery to comply with Succ Express!

L: salmon salad with tsp chilli sauce (half a syn) from frais with vinegar half tsp mayo (half syn?) and a pear

Snack: banana and quark/yog mix

T: at the pub - steak, carrots, cabbage, broccoli, vodka (4 syns) and slimline tonic, diet coke
Dessert at home - 2 warm SW brownies (2 HEBs and 3 syns) sandwiched tog with tbsp Nutella (4 syns) with toffee yog, mixed with vanilla essence, quark and gelatine - drizzled with tbsp golden syrup (2 syns) - divine!!

Drinks: 1.95L water in fruit tea and water

Exercise - 3 hours hard slog in clearing shed and tidying garden!!

Thinking of going back to SW class on Tuesday - to lose the last 11lbs - feel I need some help and it'd be good discipline to go to class once a month if/when I get to target.
