Size 10 screaming to get out!!
- Thread starter Jubbly
- Start date
Grrr. Interview went OK but feedback from other people's has been much more positive than mine (along the lines of "exemplary" and "excellent" where mine was more "OK"). Felt quite slim this morning for the first time however have now messed up 
. First Jenine offered me chicken in Court as she said she'd had to cook goujons as her freezer had broken. Of course, being breadcrumbed, they are the work of the devil but it didn't stop me eating 4 of them. Then, seeing as how I'd had them, and seeing as how I'm eating dinner tonight, I thought well might as well have a slice of ginger cake and a sliver of Victoria sponge. Now they were the smallest pieces ever seen however this is not the point. Marks have run out of all their nice £20 offers for food tonight and I completly forgot to book a table anyway so wish me luck with that!! Also Boo's card isn't technically a Valentine's card but it's red with cats on so it'll have to do....
Hope everyone's day filled with romance or lots of single fun xxxx

xxxxWoah, FOOD PORN alert (it's like the good old days). Managed to get a table at our fav Indian last night which was lovely as always . So, seeing as I was on a mission I had: a tiger prawn poori which was delicious, half a sag aloo, half a naan, half a plain rice and a murgi massala (oh and two chocolates). Washed down with a pint of Cobra and about a third of a glass of red wine at home before I literally couldn't consume anymore. I thought I was being very delicate in the restaurant, trying to eat slower and leaving food when I wasn't hungry anymore (was stuffed very quickly) however at the end all I'd really left was about two small spoonfulls of curry. Boo had managed to eat even less and he's not even on the diet. Needless to say I felt extremely uncomfortable last night and this morning I still feel full of curry and am trying to wash it out with water!! I'm a bit gutted as I think it will have a major impact on tomorrow's WI. Although it was delish, I am getting impatient to lose quicker and now Boo's talking about inviting friends over this weekend which it will be nigh on impossible to avoid alcohol with....xx

There's absolutely no way I will be 9 stone 4lb by my birthday which is 2 weeks today . I want to be 9 and a half stone but realistically I probably won't even be that weight either. I think 9 stone 9lb (my next target) is probably achievable. And then 4/5 days off diet and I'll have loads to lose again *sigh*....
Last time I lost 16lb in the first month, this time I have lost 8lb in the first month and I started off only 6lbs lighter. I don't think my heart's in it as much this time.....must be those protein nibbles I keep having....

Had a sneaky peek at the scales yesterday and they were 9 stone 10 yay!! Also period has FINALLY come so that might impact on next week's WI (and phew, as I was starting to wonder where it had gone). Maybe I'll see 9 and a half for my birthday after all . Just been for a nice long walk with the dog and spring is coming hurrah. I'm making a lovely lamb kleftico for Boo tonight as I'm sick of not cooking and might have a mouthful or two myself (no rice mind). It smells lush in the slow cooker. Got into my size 10 skinny jeans and lots of compliments, but they are strangling my tummy a bit and had to undo them the other night ha!! Still think I looked fat in a photo last night though . Must be bloaty...Hope everyone's weekend is splendid with this lovely weather xx

Spent all day making delish food, had quite a bit of lamb (can live with this) but then felt left out and had a bowl of the choc chip brioche bread and butter pudding I made. That's defo not ketogenic . Why am I sabotaging myself? I wasn't even going to break diet for pancakes on Tuesday (and I LOVE pancake day). xx

Gah, OH NO. I tried to be good and everything and have ended up being quite bad. We were going to the noodle bar for a maternity leave/my birthday lunch. Not being able to have rice or noodles I was very good and ordered some satay chicken and BBQ ribs in Oriental sauce. Not only did I have a couple or four prawn crackers, which are defo NOT carb free, but the two "small side" plates I ordered were enormous and covered in loads of sweet, sticky sauce. And I ate it all of course (would be rude not to). So what was meant to be good intentions have made me all bloaty and popped my tummy out when it looked a bit flattish this morning. BAD BAD DIETER. AND I'm having dinner tomorrow. Absolutely zero chance of losing that 2lbs for next week and being 9 and a half for my birthday. xx

Thanks Gill but there's no getting over the fact that this weekend was a disaster and I'm only putting a line under it from today, when I feel slightly queesy!! I did have my dinner out on Saturday as, sort of, planned. Mussels, bread, chargrilled tuna steak with triple cooked chips and some sort of posh deconstructed lemon meringue thingy. V nice. Washed down with loads and loads of sweet, calorific boozy drinks like mulled ginger cider (?). Yesterday, hungover, wasted all the lovely sunny day lying around with dog then somehow managed to eat a pack of Scampi Fries (who even eats those?) whilst I was forced to watch football at the pub and then, the really bad one, a KFC when I got back to Essex as it was late and I was tired and lazy and should have just gone home but then Boo said "oh let's get a KFC". They have the calories content on the menu now - Christ Almighty. Over 1000 calories for a Fillet Tower meal. Still ordered it though.
So from today it's water all the way and Exante packs only. I feel really ill. I don't think KFCs are particularly good for you and if I'm going to eat they are really not the best choice as I have had very little nutrition over the weekend added to the consumption of alcohol. I couldn't get up this morning.
Now instead of being worried I won't be 9 and a half on Thursday I need to be more concerned about having put weight ON. Oh scales, please be a nice birthday weight - even a STS will do!!!! I did still get into the jeans this morning so that's something.
One solution to the baking problem is that I have started to cook dog cakes instead. No chance of licking the bowl out after making beef, carrot and parsley muffins!! xx

Woo-hoo!! Birthday scales were very, very kind considering last weekend's indulgence. I lost 1lb taking me to 9 stone 8lb. I know it's not target which I'd hoped for when I started, and it's not even 9 and a half (though almost!!!) but I'm happy with that as 32 is the slimmest birthday since 28 now hurrah!! Just had my fav "occasion" brekkie - smoked salmon and scrambled egg on bagel with real coffee (sorry, food porn as usual) and the diet is off for the next few days whilst I get whisked away on a surprise weekend by Boo tomorrow. Life is good xxx
