Reaching Target in 2020

Day 797 - Monday 6th July 2020
Today, I saw 2 neighbours who have not seen me for over 6 months and they both told me that I have lost weight since December - I don't think, I have lost weight but look slimmer for sure as I have been doing some exercise. One told me I look very thin - I had to laugh as me thin??. I need to learn to accept compliment gracefully.

B - Tomato, olive & onion pate with an egg on WM toast (310)
D - Egg & cheese salad ( lettuce, cue, tom, pepper, 2 eggs, 3 cubes of cheese, apple, olives) - (260)
S - cup cake- probably over my calorie allowance for the day - it was from a local bakery so no nutritional values shown on the pack lets say (400)
Went to a neighbour and she gave me this cake to eat. I could not refuse as she would get upset. Heaven knows how many calories in that little thing made with butter. Grapes (60), pear (70)
I was going to have tuna & jacket potato for dinner but have to rethink after the cupcake. only have 260 calories left
F - 2L water, 2 black coffee, 2 black tea
E - 9,500 steps and loads of gardening
Total Calories = 1,100

Day 798 - Tuesday 7th July 2020
Today, I saw another neighbour on my walk & she told me I look much slimmer since she saw me last. This is the 4th person in 2 days who told me that. I must be doing something right then. Well chuffed with that.
L - IKEA meatballs, mashed potato, jam & sauce (650). I added 100 calories more as the person serving me, looked at me & put more mash on my plate - he must have thought I was malnourished- haha:D:D
S - 3 biscuits (110), grapes (60)
F - 3 black coffee, 2 black tea, 1/2L water
Too tired to go downstairs, let alone contemplating eating dinner. I can do with less calories today to balance that butter cake I had yesterday.
E - 11,200 steps
Total Calories = 820

Day 800 - Thursday 9th July 2020

Start weight - 223 lbs (15s 13 lbs)
Current weight - 153.5 lbs (10s 13.5 lbs)
Loss to date =69.5 lbs
Lost 2.5lbs this week which is excellent news and i have achieved my old goal of 154 lbs.

B - Scarmbled eggs & cheese on WM toast, tbs butter (650)
L - Homus with WM roll (500)
D - Chicken & aubergine curry with rice & salad.
I was not going to eat anything after the chocolate disaster but I felt really sick and woozy.
S - Lots of chocloate and I don't know why I ate them. Since eating them, I have had tummy ache and feeling sick
F - 1L water, 2 black tea, 2 herbal tea
E - 5,000 steps and Cut a tree. Initially, I thought, it was one trunk but once I started I discovered there were 10 massive trunks hidden under the leaves. Now I am really exhausted.
By mistake, I deleted my pedometer app and lost all the history. However, I installed a new one that might be better.
It has not been my day as you can see.
Think early night for me.

Thank you. Who knows haha perhaps I needed it.
My problem is I push myself too much & when I don't feel well I blame it on the food- like cutting that tree. Now I am chopping it up for taking to the tip & cut the trunks for winter wood.

Just read like the last 5 pages of your diary. Your food looks delicious. I really want colourful eggs now 😋

Thank you & you are welcome to my diary.
I try to vary my food in my own little way so I don't get bored. Also like experimenting to come up with simple recipes. After all none of us have that much time to spend in the kitchen.
How are you doing.
 
I've hit a roadblock. I've been stuck around this weight for AGES, so drastic action and I've swapped to Slimfast (but only for a couple of weeks) to see if I can kick start it off again. I know having someone else count the calories for you is cheating, but I needed to do something.

I was stuck with SW so changed to CC for a couple of weeks & I have lost a few pounds.
You are braver than I am using slimfast - I cannot stand the smell. If I was going to use meal replacement then I would make my own shakes & soups.
Good luck with it and hope it is the kick start you need
Happy to help if you have any questions.

Food looks really yummy! That chocolate yogurt looks interesting for sure!
hope you enjoyed everything

I’m dying for a curry LOL
Will make one or buy from the takeaway as a wee treat next week me thinks. 😌

Hope the gardening was fun also!

Yes that yogurt is good. Next time I put it in bowl so you can see it - it like a choc dessert
Got 3 more portions of curry left. Yes make your own curry. I use a curry paste -1/2 jar (420 Cal's) but I get 4-5 portions from it.
Managed to chop up the tree into logs. Everyone laughed at me - got a small electric saw, almost like an electric knife. It is good though.
