Sarah's Slimming World Diary!

Hi everyone!

Had a blow out day yesterday. Shouldn't have but just felt I needed to. Ready for today though and getting back on track.

Plan for today is:

B: Activia yoghurts (f), pineapple (sf), strawberries (sf)
L: sandwich with bread (HExB), cheese (HExA), ham (f), mayo (0.5 syns). Banana (sf), apple (sf), pineapple (sf)
D: Chilli with lean mince (f), tinned tomato (sf), kidney beans (f), carrots (sf), onion (sf), peppers (sf), rice (f), yoghurt (7.5 syns)

I'm doing lots of uni work tonight an over the weekend. My dissertation is due in in 3 weeks, and I have another three essays in each week after that. Going to be a horrible 6 weeks!

I've booked two holidays these past few weeks! And obviously just got back from Disney - so spoilt! My mum gave me Disney holiday for Christmas. My Dad gave me money for a holiday for Christmas, so me and Dave have booked a week in Spain in August.

We have also booked three nights on a boat in Amsterdam in July - I fancied staying somewhere other than a hotel! It looks amazing!

So I have a few things to look forward to - as well as moving in with dave in the summer.

I worked out if I could lose 2lb a week then I could be 175 by the August holiday. Need to stay on track now! We have a kitchen on our boat so I should be able to more or less stick to SW over that trip.

I'm so excited to move in with Dave over the summer! Been looking at gyms I could join as well as a netball club possibly as I need a way to meet some new people there as I won't know anyone.

My brother did a half marathon the other day for a charity that my family has in memory of my uncle. Both of my brothers have done half marathons for that, as has my step-mum and my dad has done stuff too - it's only me who hasn't. I always wanted to do a skydive for it but it says you should be a healthy bmi and so I think I will wait til then.

I have a bucket list and I'm so tempted to put a half marathon on it. Dave is really into his running and I would love to be able to run with him, so may try to aim for something - small steps though!
 
Bet I know what boat that is! Just north of Central Station? We considered it but it seemed too much faffing with ferries and then longer bus routes when ferries stopped for the evening. Exciting though, Amsterdam is great, you'll love it.

It's called Captains Cutter - it's only a tiny boat with just enough room for me and Dave, so don't think it's the one you are thinking of. If you google it you should be able to see some pics - it's so cute!

Thanks!

Well I haven't even started my work yet so I'm procrastinating at the moment!

I tried to have an earlyish night so I would be ready to work this morning but my housemate woke me up at 1:30 as she had no money for a taxi - was awake for ages then - fuming!
 
Procrastination from work has led me here to write my food diary!

B: 2 x bacon (f), 2 x egg (f), beans (f), mushrooms (sf), 2 x toast (HExB), spread (2 syns)
L: jacket potato (f), spread (1 syn), cheese (HExA), ham (f), beans (f), yoghurt (7.5 syns)
D: chilli (f) and rice (f), yoghurt (f)

Really want to go for a walk at some point but it is absolutely miserable outside.

I've just booked a free one-day pass at a gym nearby which has a swimming pool. Will arrange it for a day I have off and will use pool, gym and go to exercise classes until I collapse! Make the most of it!

I am really disappointed at the moment as things seem to not be working out in terms of living with Dave. The plan was for me to stay at uni until he finishes term which is about 20th July, then we go to Amsterdam for a few days. When we get back, we will look for our flat, I'll move from uni to there and have the Summer off with him, going to Spain in August, and then back t uni in September. I was going to commute the 1.5 hours by train and didn't think it would be hugely expensive. Turns out it is £1200 for the 3 months!! That is the same amount as I pay or rent here at the moment, so I can't justify paying rent to live with Dave, but also paying £1200 for the train!

So, my new plan is to find a short term rent for September to Christmas, then hopefully find somewhere to live together over Christmas. Then I start placement in January and could be placed anywhere so may not even be able to live at home for most of that! Grrrr!

Was SO excited for our special Summer together, and now it seems I'll be at least 1.5 hours away from him. We'll be able to see eachother, but my car is giving up and so I won;t have that over Summer so it is just going to be so muh more difficult. Was so excited - had picked my gym to sign up to, had found a netball team to join, was looking at flats and getting so excited together, and now it's going to have to be postponed for so much longer.

I'm fed up of living at uni really - was just looking forward to getting some distance from it, but I guess it could be worse.
 
I am a nightmare. Started OK yesterday and then had a muffin - fine, it's within syns. Went to the library. Was there for 7 hours. My friend went and got chocolate and I had 2 bars of Cadburys Caramel. Idiot. Then came home and inhaled the last 2 bars (multipack!). Then ordered an Indian as I had been working all day, and couldn't be assed to cook. Idiot! Then ate a LARGE bar of chocolate!!

I don't understand how I managed it. I just couldn't help myself. Such an idiot.

Was planning on changing my weigh day to Thursdays as its closer to me, and means I don't have to be quite so strict over the weekends. However, clearly I need to be strict with myself and so I am staying with Mondays. I'm going to go to weigh in today at 1pm and hope for the best. It looked like I had lost 2lb since weigh in, but because of that stupid take away I can't see that happening!

Whenever I get to this weight, I seem to sabotage myself - don't understand why.

My plan for this week is to be good with food. I can't go to Zumba tomorrow as I have a boat party to go to which means alcohol, but I'll try to be sensible. I'll make sure I am at Zumba on Thursday, and may try to do a double one but I do have a lecture that clashes.

I just need to get back on track! I'm not far from my Club 10 award so aiming for that! I have made a photo that shows the change from when I was my heaviest three years ago, and what I am now, and it is shocking - would like to share it on here but I like to keep it anonymous! Going to use that as motivation
 
So I've put on 1lb. Need to get back on track!

I decided this morning to weigh in and have a final blow out. On the walk to WI I realised I'm not changing at all... I don't need a final blow out! I'm constantly having them!

So, healthy food bought. I bought some chocolaty hifi bars to hopefully help my choc cravings!

I'm sat in group now and will stay for image therapy - only my second time. I really need to get home to do work but I feel I may benefit from staying here.

This HAS to be it now. I've done well, and I'm starting to ruin it.

Tomorrow will be difficult as I have my night out but I'm going to stick within my days syns for that. They'll be drinking heavily and having fish and chips - ill eat before I go and have one or two vodkas.

No excuses now!
 
Ahhhh talking to myself! Oh well... It's a good way to get thoughts out!

B: none
S: HiFi Peanut Deluxe (HExB1)
L: leftover chilli (lean mince (f), kidney beans (f), carrots (sf), onions (sf, tomatoes (sf), peppers (sf)), cottage cheese (f), salad (sf), tomatoes (sf), cucumber (sf), bread roll (HExB2), spread (1.5 syns), yoghurt (f)
D: spaghetti (f) with carrots (sf), peppers (sf), onion (sf), spinach (sf), green beans (sf), bacon (f) and Philadelphia Light with Sweet Chilli (HexA), salad (sf), tomato (sf), cucumber (sf). Yoghurt (f)
S: Teaser Bar (9.5 syns)

So... Today has been good! Like I mentioned earlier, I woke up, decided to go to weigh in and then have a massive blow out. Before going to weigh in I decided not to have the blow out - achievement number one!

Weigh in was bad. I put on a pound. This means in the last month I have stayed the same, put on 1lb and put on 2lb. Not good!

But, I handled it ok today. Ate well and decided to do success express as much as possible. I think obviously the extra superfree will be great, but I will benefit from the option of having 2 HExA and 2 HExB if I want. May stop binges!

Anyway night all!
 
Dave situation seems pretty pants! Can understand your frustration completely. Not really sure what to suggest there. At least it'll only be a few months and then you can find a place in December, I know it's still frustrating but it's just postponed, not off completely.

1lb on isn't really that bad and you've done so so well up to here. You know what you need to do so you just need to get on with that and that 1lb will be gone in no time. Don't be so hard on yourself hun.
 
Hi Hun, your not talking to yourself, promise just not managed to really be on here lately! Gutted for you about Dave Hun, I was desperate to finish uni, so I know how you feel but miss be so disappointing to not have it to look forward to anymore either. :-/
anychance Dave could move to you? Glad your back on it, and you didn't have your final blow out. That was great talking to yourself. How are you managing extra super free?
You still going out tonight? Xx

Well.... update on the Dave situation is that I think it is all going to be OK! I spent a long time trying to work out the train fare and I've managed to get it down quite a lot. Won't be sure until I get my official timetable of lectures through, but I also decided that I have the access to money in loan/credit card/overdraft etc and I would rather be living with Dave and be happy, than living on my own here and feeling miserable - even if it does cost more.

So... yay!

I've just done a post above about living with Dave - so looks like it is back on! Yay!

I'm managing superfree OK I think - I'm making sure I have 2/3 of fruit and veg with my meals, and have only snacked on fruit or veg.

I did go out last night. I had my implant removed and a new one put in yesterday, so I ended up with lunch at about 3pm. I started drinking at 4:30 - I know it's bad! I had vodka all night, but I did have LOTS of it! Had a really good night - danced and walked lots so hoping that has helped. I did have dinner out - a sausage with cheese and onions in a bread roll. So, obviously not SW friendly but wasn't the fish and chips that everyone else had!

I'm glad I went out though - I rarely do go out at uni, and it was nice to let go after 3 days solid of dissertation writing!
 
So, food yesterday was OK at the beginning, before the night out! I'm still quite happy with how it went - no takeaway at the end of the night, or mega snacking at home!

B: banana (sf), raspberries (sf), Activia yoghurt (f), HiFi bar (HExB1)
L: salad (sf), cucumber (sf), tomatoes (sf), ham (f), cheese (HExA1), bread roll (HExB2), spread (2 syns) cottage cheese (f), yoghurt (f)
D: 'Cheddar Porker' - sausage, with a bread roll, onions and cheese - no idea how bad that is!
Lots of vodka too!
S: HiFi bar - 6 syns

Today has been good -

B: toast (HExB1), spread (1.5 syns), yoghurt (f), HiFi bar (HExB2), fruit pot with melon, watermelon, strawberries, raspberries, grapes and orange (sf)
L: spaghetti (f) with carrots (sf), peppers (sf), onion (sf), spinach (sf), green beans (sf), bacon (f) and Philadelphia Light with Sweet Chilli (HexA1), banana (sf)
D: jacket potato (f), beans (f), cheese (HExA2), mushrooms (sf), green beans (sf), carrots (sf), onion (sf), peppers (sf), butter (3 syns), yoghurt (f)

A good day I think!! Might have a hot chocolate later on.
 
Aww yay! So glad you've managed to sort living with Dave.
 
yay, im glad about the living with Dave and how happy you are sounding again :-D. Might be me being dense, only ever used the pill, but why did you have to have the implant out to just have a new one in?
Sounded like you needed the night out hun, your a student and its a miracle as far as im concerned that you can do this, my willpower at uni was nil. way too many dominos, and wayyy too much wine! ha ha. your doing good! your sausage cheese and onion thing sounds soooo good!!

The implant lasts for three years so I needed mine replaced. It's such a great method of contraception - once it's in then you can forget about it for three years. It goes in your upper, inner arm. I find it stops my periods, although more recently they have started again - hoping this replacement will stop them again!

It's not the nicest experience having it in - local anaesthetic and a large needle to insert it, but obviously the anaesthetic stops the pain and it only leaves a tiny, barely visible mark afterwards.

Mine was painful yesterday though - three lots of anaesthetic and I could still feel it - usually I'm fine! I had to have the old one removed and some of my tissue had grown around it so she had to really yank it, to rip it off the tissue - I felt that!!

Definitely a great method though - I'm useless at remembering the pill!
 
Such a rubbish nights sleep!

I seem to have a cold, and a huge pain at the back of my mouth - thinking tonsils, though feels a bit different. Really prone to tonsillitis and I always get a kidney infection at the same time - no idea why!! So hoping and praying I won get either!

I'm going to do more dissertation work today, then a two hour lecture and then hopefully Zumba - though I may have to see how I feel after this cold!
