Mrs Potters Food Diary

[Gem_bear]

Hey. How has your weekend been? I have been absolutely terrible dreading my next wi already eek. Could do with a couple of really good weeks because of our holiday coming up so am going to try and be good all week and detox from all snacky syns during the week (ie sugary sweet snacks, chocolate and crisps) so only use syns in cooking meals etc and only stick too my 10 syns on the weekend so will have some chocolate then.

How did your meeting go with your boss and your sw pizza/beer? I need to try and do this pizza but never get around too it in case I fluff it up. Xx

Hello! The meeting went ok,.I still don't know for sure what is happening but feel a not better about the whole situation...basically he tells me that I may have to move to a ward...and I don't want to, I like where I am!

I had a great food day on sat...blueberry pancakes...key lime pie!! Don't feel guilty at all. I tried to be fairly good on Fri night, wasn't brilliant but remained in control sort of!

I am sure u will be fine at WI! Don't feel guilty about your treat days! :-( you need them! are u still doing your shread every day? X

I usually don't feel guilty but this weekend I didn't eat because I was hungry but because I could so was binging on food...which is not a good habit to get into so going to get focused this week and aim for a good weekend...depending on the scales on Friday will determine what i will be be doing ie have a few drinks and a Chinese as we have friends over or cook a sw chilli instead. We shall see can't slip up just before holiday as want to enjoy myself on holiday. Had a really good day yesterday, had 8 syns although did have prawn crackers with my stir fry... Couldn't resist lol but 8 isn't bad.

Yum blueberry pancakes, I was just looking at a recipe for them literally 10 minutes ago and I was contemplating making some, but will wait until the weekend, might try and have a little American style breakfast of pancakes and bacon and eggs yum

Ooh sorry about the work situation... Hopefully that gets sorted soon so you know what your doing. so are you a nurse then? Xx

Yeh then u eat more cause you think "well there's no point now cause you fluffed it up anyway" I was good all the way up to 9pm sunday night and then my husband was all "ooh go get yourself some chocolate, finish the weekend off!" and put it this way it wasn't just the 2/3 tabs that I generally have in the week from one of those big bars (so about 3/4 syns) so I told him that Hes not to encourage me or mention chocolate/crisps/biscuits for the next two weeks as I want to look good this year on holiday. My daughter was only 9 months old last year and I was still carrying an excess pregnancy baggage of around a stone so I look like Mrs Blobby on my photos lol I refuse to look fat this year. Well yesterday I did day 9 of the 30ds and a 1 hour aerobics class and was good food wise and then today I have just done day 10 of the 30ds so I am officially done YEY but will carry on until we go away...also taking it with me with the good intentions to do it everyday...or at least every few days (were away for 10 days) as it's only 20minutes long so it's do able. Were off to turkey on the 6th September...were staying in a villa with my auntie and uncle in Dalyan. Really can't wait now it's been a year since our last holiday so really need it. It's been hitting 32/34 this week eek but the villa is fully air con'd phew also the prospect of sitting in what seems to be a sardine can for 4hours with a 22 month old is daunting... Eeeeek

Thursday 25th August

B: fruit n fibre, strawberries coffee (heb1, hea1)
L: pasta n sauce, salad, banana, muller light (part hea 2, 0.5 syns)
T: left over chilli with rice and SW wedges

Edit:
Damn, bit of a fail this evening. Went to zumba after work which was awesome but then had a family Bbq sprung on me. My neice's 17th plus exam results, so thinking it would be best, I had a baked potato with some chilli quickly before we left but then of course once we were there it was rude to say no to things. I hate that, I would always much rather be polite and say yes than awkward and say no.

So I will put the day down to 20 syns...had a couple of kebabs and some wine. Fingers crossed I get a STS tomorrow. Although the dreaded p just won't give in and arrive so Im feeling horrid!

So total for week: 85.5 syns...and of course my treat day ;-)

Friday 26th August

Not sure how today and the wkend will go. I finish at 2 and then heading straight to donegal with hub2b for a camping wkend. I was looking forward to it but now my friend P has finally arrived and I have gained 2 pounds so its all put a bit of a dampener on my mood!

Never mind, I will try and be positive. I'm sure the gain is just water, can't let it ruin my fun.*lots of hiking lots of hiking*

Oh junk food, oh junk food, why do i eat you?!

The whole weekend, including yesterday was a write off and as usual i am now riddled with guilt! I got on the scales this morning and i still have the 2 pound gain so maybe not water! UGH!

Off to tesco shortly to stock up on good things and i am going to hit the gym like a demon for the rest of the week. I have a few extra days off this week, hopefully this will be a good thing and i can work out more but i always want to eat rubbish when i am off work! Will have to get the hub2b to eat the ben and jerrys thats in the freezer.
