need to lose at least 30lbs by end of March 2017-- going to be a Bride!

Haha it seems that we were all typing at the same time

Sending positive thoughts for your dress fitting! My dress had a corset and it made me look like I had a tiny waist so I think you'll be pleasantly surprised I just had them yank it in as much as they had the strength for

 

[Pinkemi]

I hope you are right.. however this week I am upping exercise and making sure i eat right... i dont have enough time anymore to play around now!!

After all.. it is only 3 months of no socialising and lots of exercise. You only get married once.. I have to make this perfect!!

 

[Pinkemi]

Well it was as bad as expected. 1.5lbs gained.

 

[Grunka Lunka]

Aww that is a shame but don't feel to disheartened Pinkemi. It sounds like you're feeling pretty motivated at the moment so I'm sure you can lose all that and a bit more by next week Plus, with all the exercise you're doing you'll be toning up too! You can do it!

 

[Pinkemi]

I've only really just started with the whol exercising so will take a while for me to see any effects. Just disheartening as I weighed at home and my scales told me I had lost.

Oh well.. I have tuna salad with sweetcorn and eggs later and might have a coffee muller light as my pudding. Saying that I've only had 2syns today on Murray mints so might have a chocolate coin or 2.

You can definitely drop a dress size in a month, especially if you combine exercise with dieting. It'll be tough though! But you sound really motivated, and I always think it's much easier to stay motivated if you have short term goals to aim for. X

 

[Pinkemi]

I am motivated... for now. Lol I have a habit of doing this though..staying motivated for about a week and then going sod it. but this time round the sod it can't happen! (I say that now but if I don't have a decent weight loss next weigh in.. then I'm gonna be so angry.)

 

[Pinkemi]

What the actual?!

Just weighed myself at home (naked and after a pee.. as you do! lol) and I've apparently dropped 4lbs in the night. WHY?! WHY could you not have had this reading last night?!?!

Anyway.. as I am Working from Home today I thought I would treat myself to a cooked breakfast of sorts..

Breakfast- Cajun covered (too much cajun! mouth on fire!) mushrooms, onions and tomatoes with a fried egg and spinach.

 

[littlemisspiggy16]

Your body has just realised you're seeing your dress soon, so it's cooperating with the poundage loss

Mmm, breakfast does sound good - tasty yet healthy, the perfect combination! And chilli is meant to be good for weight loss, so I'm sure hot cajun is the same x

 

[Pinkemi]

Lunch- smoked slamon salad (rocket, cucumber, baby corn, tomatoes, spinach, celery, red pepper) with some oil and balsamic vinegar dressing (which i presume I have to syn?)

I then was really craving something sweet so had a bit of quark left over.. mixed in some light hot chocolate and boom! a mini cheesecake like texture (without the base obviously. )

although.. 2hrs later and I am still craving something sweet.

 

[Pinkemi]

Forgot to add...

Supper- Homde made slow cooker beef stew! (its been cooking all day) with some white rice.

we are off to the cinema later so am looking for a "treat" i can take with me which wont make me go over the syns. Hopefully actually if I have just eaten I wont feel the need to have a treat. I'll run with that idea. lol

 

[Pinkemi]

Guess I better count up my syns really:

Syns
oil - 2syns
hot chocolate- 2syns
roasted broad beans in batter (54g)- 12syns

Total- 16. (oops)

Although looking at my diary for yesterday I only had 2syns so not too bad I guess.

 

[littlemisspiggy16]

I'm curious! What are roasted broad beans in batter?? X

 

[Pinkemi]

Haha... exactly what it says! these are them: http://www.healthyfoods-online.com/lapsnacks-habas-picante-200g.html

So.. my "must ignore treats at cinema" resolve went down the drain. Ended up having a small packet of revels. So my syns are way over what they should have been.. But i've had a pretty good week so I am not stressing too much.

Tried to get up this morning to do my workout and failed miserably! Completely slept through my alarm. (like switched it off and rolled over. lol)

going to attempt a quick walk at lunch time.. then go to the gym for 30mins after work.. and then do my exercise dvd when i get home after that... gonna be pooped!

Breakfast-40g Porridge oats (HEB), fat free yogurt and raspberries
Lunch- Homemade Gammon soup
Snacks- SW salmon Pate (Quark, smoked salmon and lemon) with celery, peppers and baby sweetcorn and an apple.

HEA- 3x Light Babybel

 

[Pinkemi]

it's pretty easy... I literally put quark, salmon and some lemon juice into a blender and blitzed it up until it was smooth.

It goes a bit runny if you leave it in the fridge for a bit.. but just give it a quick stir and its good to go. Yummy!

 

[littlemisspiggy16]

Oooo, they look interesting- I've never seen them before! When I read your post I thought it might have been something you made yourself.

Your food looks great! Although I can't have pate without toast! Xx

 

[Pinkemi]

I guess pate is the wrong word for it.. as pate is normally.. thick isnt it. This is more like taramasalata.. I think I should probably call it that instead! lol

I'm really trying this week to be good.. just hope I get a good loss to keep my momentum up!! My scales at home read a good reading.. but just depends on what my offical weigh in says.

 

[Pinkemi]

gah! So.. a friend of ours who we haven't seen in ages has decided to come around tonight.. and wants to eat Chinese takeaway.. I LOVE Chinese... my favourite is the sweet and sour chicken balls.

The normal thing is to get lots of dishes and share.. I've been trying to google what would be the least amount of syns..

anything in black bean, rice, chicken chow mein... is that it??

I haven't had any syns yet today so I'm hoping if I can hold out until tonight and have a small portion, it wont sabotage me.

 

[Pinkemi]

So.. last night was a nightmare.. Not going to lie.

I forced myself to go to the gym to do a work out. Managed to jog on the treadmill for about 2.28miles before I felt so sick I had to get off. Had to sit in the changing rooms for about 5 minutes to stop my head from spinning.

I then went round my OH's family house to meet up with our friends etc. Ive been trying to find shoes for my bridesmaids.. and found these ones which fit the criteria they gave me.. and I also liked.. Anyway to cut a long story short they didn't fit... Everyone was throwing comments at me, lots of negativity about the colour I had chosen, the height of the heel bla bla bla.. I burst into tears! Then managed to spill a cup of tea... bang my leg onto the dish washer (which was out and I didn't realise)... Once i had calmed down a bit we decided to eat supper.. as i was plating up my chinese.. I DROPPED MY PLATE! It smashed into two and the food went everywhere.

This morning.. as you can imagine.. i've woken up deflated and unmotivated. everyone keeps telling me.. your not going to see the shoes anyways so what does it matter? But it matters to me! I want them to look nice! If it was up to some of my BM.. they would be wearing 6 inch heels. gah!

Breakfast-40g Porridge oats (HEB), fat free yogurt and blueberries
Lunch- Homemade Gammon soup
Snacks- Biltong, 3x babybel light, hard boiled egg, 3x seafood sticks and 2x extra light laughing cow.

As I was out last night I didn't food prep so grabbed things as I ran out of the door this morning.

 

[littlemisspiggy16]

Aw that sounds a nightmare of an evening, hopefully today will be more relaxing. I'm sorry to hear your BMs are being so unsupportive. They should realise it's your big day so of course you want to choose things like the shoes! It must be really stressful for you, I hope you find some suitable shoes soon.

You're food today is looking really good, especially as you didn't have time to prep. Even though you're feeling unmotivated, keep at it - you'll only regret it if you fall off the wagon (much easier said than done, I do realise)

Hope you're having a good day today xx
