Sick of carrying 2 hitch hikers about, so this is my diary

[Lily42uk]

Roziee we can do lots, I am so determined to get this done this week, I am going to increase my water intake, use my syns, I have a really bad habit of not using more than 2 or 3 a day and we should really use about 10 a day, I am going to be more vigorous in my exercise routines and generally watch every single thing that goes into my mouth.
I found a documentary on you tube that apparently was first shown on BBC, called 10 Things you need to know about losing weight, it's in 6 parts and well worth watching, there are some great tips on there.
We can do this hun, I know we can so gl and speak soon xxx

Oh and I read a post on here by Squiddie that sets out exactly how Slimming World works and I just gave myself a little top up, it helps I find, to go over the "rules" especially when you have been doing it for a while just so you keep reminding yourself of the "mistakes" and can rectify them xxx

 

[Roziee]

Yes we can!

I'm going to drink at least 2 lites of water, going to increase my fruit intake and ensure I exercise everyday.. Even if its for 15 minutes. I had a good day yesterday so let's hope today is good too!

 

[Lily42uk]

Great, I also had a good day yesterday, and I am determined to have a better one today, if I don't get those 4.5lb of this week it won't be because I didn't try my hardest lol....

WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS ROZIEE, YOU AND ME THE SLIMMING QUEENS !!!! xxxxxxx

 

[Roziee]

Yes we are! I'm nit at work this week so it should be easier for me this week hopefully. The only thing I'm doing is going to see a doctor of some sort everyday but other than that I'm recharging my batteries, physically, mentally and spiritually so i can go back to work next week.

 

[Lily42uk]

Good for you sounds like a fantastic idea to me, gl to us xx

 

[Lily42uk]

Right so now I have decided to do my diary in 3 parts, that's my breakfast part, my lunch part and my dinner and supper part, because I am pretty sure I am missing off some syns which is slowing down my weight loss, so here goes with Breakfast, decided to go with the idea put forward on the documentary I watched and had a high protein breakfast:
2 eggs scrambled
tin of baked beans, with a dash of brown sauce (1 syn)
2 slices of bread, 1 from 800g loaf (4.5 syns) and 1 from 400g loaf, all I had in the house so had half my HEb and will use other half later. Had coffee with coffee mate (1.5 syns)
and a Tbsp of skimmed milk in eggs (1/2 syn) total for beakfast 7.5 syns
followed by hand full of cherries, strawberries and an apricot ...very yummy xxx

 

[Lily42uk]

Ok Part 2, had my gorgeous minestrone soup again for lunch today, surprise surprise lol syn free so yummy and so syn free I love it lol....followed that with Melon and satsumas plus a few more strawberries and cherries and a kiwi fruit yum xx

 

[Lily42uk]

Just had my tea and we had a gorgeous tuna stir fry with loads and loads of free veg, free tuna (canned), chilli's all for 0 syns but I did add 1 tbsp of Sharwood Chow mein sauce 1.5 syns and I drizzled about a tsp of chilli sauce over it 1 syn, as I hadn't put in enough chilli for me lol and then I had more strawberries, melon and cherries for a total of :
9 syns, have decided to use my 350ml of skimmed milk (HEa) and add a sachet of options 2 syns to make a nice hot chocolate for my supper, with a summer fruits alpen light bar 3 syns.
Making my total for the day 14 syns and a full belly with 3 hours exercising flat out (sweated buckets lol) and so far have drunk 7 pints of water ....will be up all night on the loo but hey it's worth it lol ...looking forward to tomorrow xxx

3 hours of exercise!!!!!? Wow!!!

 

[Lily42uk]

Yes 1 hour this morning and then another hour this evening followed by 45 minutes of zumba and then my weights, it wasn't a pretty picture but well worth the effort I feel fantastic xxxxx

 

[Roziee]

We weigh the same but you have so much more stamina than me!

 

[Lily42uk]

Roziee, when I started my journey I weighed 455lb ....I lost 6st over the last 3 years but with not a lot of commitment and definitely no exercise until I joined SW....12 years ago I had a major accident that left me disabled and 10 years ago the hospital discharged me and told me they couldn't do any more for me and that I would end up in a wheelchair but that they couldn't say when, so I came home and I gave up.
Then 3 years ago my friend was coming over from Australia and I decided I had to get some weight off...so I lost 5st by the time she arrived, but as soon as she left I went back to my old ways. Then 15 months ago after 45 years I gave up smoking and will NEVER smoke again, that made me think about losing the weight and in November I joined SW. At first I wasn't too excited about it and only really went because my daughter nagged me, but then my consultant Clive really pushed me and still does to lose the weight, so I made a huge effort, then he started to challenge us for the body magic awards and I am really competitive so thought I would try for the awards and never really thought much more about it.
December I started by being able to do just 5 mins and have built it since then and I am now more than determined that I will walk and not allow myself to be housebound like I have been for the last 10+ years.
Plus next year there are 2 more reasons for me being fit and being able to walk, apart from the fact I want to go out walking with my DH and my grandchildren.
My daughters are doing the starlight walk in watford on 11th June (12.5miles) and next year I want to walk with them, plus my youngest daughter is getting married and I want to be able to walk the long pathway to the church.
So I have gone from being a real exercise phobic to being an exercise lover, I am addicted. now that I can do it I want to do it more and more ....a lot more effort than I have ever made before is all it has taken and when I am finished every day I feel amazing, but it has taken time and a lot of pain and tears to get here xxxx
