New Start, New Diary.....

[Seacrest]

I'm the same.. hate my figure but hate diet and exercise.. .

It's better to take it one day at a time I think because then you don't feel as much pressure

Keep going xx

I'm with you on that one. Keep going ladies - we're all in this together. I'm struggling too at the mo', but I know if I let go I'll just slip backwards so hanging on in quiet desperation (thank you Pink Floyd) will have to do at this moment!

Ok, so my taking it one day at a time approach 2 weeks ago didn't work. I went waaaaaaay of track again for over a week. Couldn't face weigh in last week as I knew I would weigh in the 11s again and couldn't face seeing that number. I know it's bad when I resort to buying chocolate at work and I was doing that every day!! Finally got my head sorted on Saturday and have been on plan since then. Spent Sunday morning looking at old magazines and recipes on here for ideas as I had been doing no cooking at all (just eating junk)

Went to weigh in last night and was back to 10.13 so a 1.5 gain which I was more than happy with. I really want a decent loss next week. Looked at my book and I am the same weight I was this time last year! I need to stick to it or it will take me months again to get to target but realistically I want to get to it by July.

Nice to see you back and back on track Ally!

I'm going to try do at least 7 speed foods and 7 glasses of water a day this week. It seems to me to be easier than limiting yourself like other challenges do and I'm hoping it will help with a loss this week.

Here's to being slim(mer) for summer! xxx

Food so far today

Brunch: satsuma, mandarin mullerlight and a pineapple
Have put a quorn turkey burger in oven now to stop me eating brownies. The plan was to do hotpot for dinner but don't have all the ingredients so think I'l do pasta bake with meatballs instead. Also need to make some cheesecake as I've a tub of quark going out of date tomorrow so need to use it up!

 

[ally_88]

So I did make the cheesecake- made it into 2 so 1 today and 1 tomorrow (2 syns and 1 HEB), also had pasta bake (A). Snacked on plenty of fruit and have just had a kitkat chunky (12.5) and salted caramel hifi (B) with a cup of salted caramel green tea

Hows it going Ally?
By keeping track of them- even when you go over, you do have some sort of control and thats better than shoving it in aimlessly and forgetting.

Chin up! xxx

 

[Seacrest]

Well done on the 1.5 loss (I know, I'm a bit slow at catching up)! How have you been since?

 

[Seacrest]

Hey Ally, how are you doing?
