My Diary, by Coughdrops

[coughdrops]

Thanks Kay

Was just catching up on some threads, it's hard to keep up! Like you, we're low on food supplies today, so a big supermarket shop is on the cards for tonight. My husband is going away for the weekend, which is ideal for Red days, as there won't be any goodies looking at me. Friday and Sat night in front of tv is a dangerous time for me!

Going to re-read the book for Red, in case I am missing something, but I think I am doing it ok and that it will just take 2 weeks to show on scales.

(In case he reads this: OF COURSE I'LL MISS HIM... )

Thursday 27th

So after last nights teeny tiny loss, I'm trying to mix things up again this week.

1) Sticking to Original- it's working out ok for me, I just think my body is a week behind!
2) Up the superfree- I know with Original they don't stress the 1/3 superfree but it just makes sense!
3) Lower syns / using syns for meals = less snacking on sweets!
4) Water, water everywhere - I am actually ok at sticking to my 2 / 3 litres a day, but it's good to note it down anyway.


I am making it BIG and PINK so I see it when I log in!

Hey Nimah I have an idea which I will share with you, got it from someone else on here and I think its great. For fri and sat nights infront of the tv, try to stick with free food all day long until the evening, then when your infront of the telly (when we all snack the most) make a syn bag for yourself . A syn bag is made up of 15 syns of all the lovely treats that you would like to have. This way you will feel rewarded at the end of the day and 15 syns is a lot, you might even find you don't finish all the bag ! This will also stop you from having a blip in the day because you know you can look forward to your treats in the evening and it keeps you on plan because you know you have already calculated the syn bag to 15 syns. Hope this helps hun .

Thanks Kay, I like that idea.

I might try it next week. This week, I am planning on early nights with my laptop, FB and minis. I might go mad and buy an options hot choc as a treat to sip in bed.

I am so Rock n Roll

 

[Kay003]

Yep defo give the syn bag a go hun, I hope it works . Oh I love my options hot choccys, use them in my cheesecakes too, so yummy .

sounds absolutely YUM. I love a satay, peanut style sauce me!
Which reminds me- bought the new peanut hi-fi bars at group the other day. DELISH!!!

 

[coughdrops]

Our consultant was raving about those bars. I never buy HiFis, I'd eat them all in one sitting. Love peanut stuff, so I definitely can't go buying those! I'd inhale them.

Saturday 29.03.14

Having a lazy day today, lying on couch watching tv at the moment. Have some spring cleaning to do later but have all day to do it. DH not back til tomorrow afternoon.

Food today is going to be similar to yesterday, I cut up loads of salad stuff yesterday so need to use it up.

Just had breakfast- melon and pineapple chunks, 2 Ryvita, Coffee (0.5 syn).

Going to start on my 3 L of water now.

 

[coughdrops]

Lunch was salad, 1.5 syns on olives

"Dinner" was an apple, a banana, and remainder of Ryvitas from Hex B.

Total syns for day- olives and milk - 3 syns


Was in bed by 7.30 with a migraine, puked my guts up by 9, and slept to midnight. I was awake then until 5, and woke up again at 8 (new time... I think.... I am TIRED)

Still remnants of a migraine there, but much better than I was. Plan for today is:

Coffee and painkillers
Spend an hour tidying kitchen, and make a curry that we can eat tonight
Tidy up our bedroom, make up bed with nice clean linen
Have a super long hot shower with "nice" smellies, scrub hair, feel more human
Clean pjs and back to bed for a couple of hours

Be HUMAN when hubby gets home later today.
