soccermom's lose 10 st diary :)

[soccermom]

thanks for popping by meli and shirleen, i'm sure we can lose that much.

I have set 7lb targets for myself, initially starting with 20 x 7 lbs but in reality maybe 21, but we shall see.

So far it has come off pretty easily, thats maybe because I have so much to lose, hope it doesn't slow down to soon

Today is a green day, I still dont like to eat to many carbs as they bloat me out, but I do like to up my calcium levels on a green day, so I have a nice big bowl of rice pudding so I can incorporate some carbs into my menu.

still have not upped my veggie intake this past few days normally I have loads , theres no excuse plenty of veg in.

The main thing is I feel fuller on less food now after 12 weeks, just because food is free and "unlimited" (dont like that word) does not mean I can eat for the sake of it, still have to watch my portion control. If I sit and eat 10 mueller lights and 10 bananas I would be pushing 2000 calories, this would not help me :break_diet:

Note to self: only eat when you are hungry and I mean hungry... not bored

So far this is working and I have genuinely not had proper hunger, at the end of each day I feel satisfied and full

Bit hit and miss today, was intending to have supper and a milky coffee (hea) tonight, but I fell asleep on the settee so not had anything

I know about the 1/3 supefree, but I didnt want veg with curry or kippers so just went for the fruit option.

It doesnt look like I had much, but I cant eat that much now, even after a small portion of rice I am struggling to finish whats on my plate.

So definitely not hungry and although I dont seem to be eating as much as others on the plan, I am not hungry so wont eat if i'm not

Have lots of veg penciled in to eat tomorrow, will go back to a red day as I like them best

 

[soccermom]

Back from holiday so diary will start again tomorrow, weighed in tonight and got a 3.5lb weightloss, i'm over the moon with that.

Managed to have a small chinese and indian takeaway and a few chips from great yarmouth market, they are the best

so I am delighted with the loss which is over 2 weeks, back on plan totally as from last Friday.

Thanks ozzie, dont forget the tortoise beat the hare i'm taking nothing for granted but I am so happy with my 3 stone 1 lb weight loss so far

 

[soccermom]

Well i've had my EE day not sure how I feel about it, had everything planned and then a friend asked if I wanted to go out for morning coffee at the golf club dont you know so had to rearrange my food for the day.

I only had a coffee but didnt get chance to have breakfast only had a banana while she had a breakfast bun filled with bacon, mush and toms , didnt bother me either I even gave her the biscuit that came with the coffee

Got back and had a meal so here goes

EE day

banana

gammon, salad, chutney (5 syns)

weetabix (heb), milk (hea), splenda

lamb casserole made with green lentils, carrott, onion, swede and pot, cabbage and mushy peas (5 syns for mint sauce and a little drizzle of gravy)

At some point I think I will be a bit peckish, but think it will be in my head because of my missing heb

Onwards and upwards for tomorrow and back to my comfort zone of a red day

You could have had some free green as well for lunch and some extra fruit for breakfast. I think that would have made you feel a bit more full.
What did you think of the EE?

Hi..thanks for dropping by.

I didnt intend just to have the banana for breakfast that was just a quick snack while making the kids breakfast I had planned mushrooms, poached egg and grilled toms for when they had left for school, but then friend asked if I wanted to go out for coffee and had 20 mins to get ready.

Had a look on the menu at the golf club, but there did not seem to be much to adapt so I left it.

Had a large salad for lunch with red onion, carrott, radish etc .

wasnt hungry just felt it might be psychological as I missed my extra heb

I will do EE again but will probably do it twice a week instead of 2 green. I like red better

 

[soccermom]

Not sure what happened last night, but ended up having an extra 16.5 syns just got a craving for a penguin biscuit so I had 2 :cry: and then an extra bag of quavers :sigh: need to make up for that so have kept to 6.5 syns today and for the next 2 days ( I like to have around 10 syns a day)

I also ended up doing another day of EE so I could add noodles to my stir fry for tea, I just hope it doesn't make me feel as bad as the white pasta made me last week

EE day

banana, pear, weetabix (heb) and hot milk (hea) splenda

2 egg omelette, beans, mushrooms, grilled toms + brown sauce (1 syn)

wotsits (5.5)

I think every so often that we all have to fall off the rails a bit. You've been so good that maybe it got a bit of naughtiness out of your system and will fire you up with renewed vigour and stuff .... Hmmm, I think "renewed vigour" comes from an ad for cleaning products brainwashed I am!

Seriously, don't beat yourself up about it, what's happened has happened and I'm sure you'll be back to your usual angelic self!

Incidentally penguins are one of the things I had to visit the British Lolly Shop for as I was missing them! That was pre-SW though.

I am going to try and start dropping the quavers/wotsits and have them only at the weekend, I don't really need them I just like them

I was on holiday in Yarmouth for a week visiting family and I didnt eat 1 packet and did not miss them one bit, but as soon as I get back I open a packet why is that ?

I'm enjoying following your diary. I am going to try some red days too as EE does not seem to agree with me (sadly).
