Suzyflo's food diary....back on the wagon, target reached, now I need to stay there!!

[suzyflo]

Hi - I'm back!! We've had a good time, not done much, just lazing about and relaxing. Haven't gone too crazy food wise, I could have eaten much much more than I did but from today there will be no more 4 course breakfasts and dinners!! there will be a definite reduction on the alcohol front too!

Typically my breakfasts consisted of a bowl of porridge (I spied a microwave in the restaurant so thought I might as well make use of it) cheese and tomato omelette, pancakes with honey & sweetener and rounding off with a large plate full of fresh melon and pineapple - all of that would see me through the day until the evening meal when I would start with food choices from the salad bar followed by 2 or three meat choices and vegetables then a couple of small cakes/pastries with cold custard and rice pudding from the sweets table, followed by a dollop of ice cream - all very nice! Alcohol wise I've mainly been having whisky and diet coke and sangria.

I've decided to leave weigh in for this week and will get weighed on my usual Monday next week, I did get on the scales but was greeted with an 'err' message, they need a new battery so i'll just get one as and when I remember, don't think I will have put on any more than a couple of pounds though as my clothes are still all fitting perfectly fine.

Hope everyone is doing ok

Hi suzyflo, sounds like a great break with lovely food and very good approach to enjoying both. He are you coping with the weather back home? Welcome back.

 

[suzyflo]

Thanks Quins, yes it was a great break, very relaxing. I'm not coping well with the weather now I'm back....far too rainy, especially yesterday!
Was back at work today and didn't like that much either...I'd like to win the lottery I think!!

Hi Emm, lovely to hear from you again, thank you...it's hard not to keep control, always thinking about food optimising, I'm like a stick of rock with 'slimming world' running all the way through the middle of me!! Sad eh?

Well done on winning the June quiz tournament....you beat me by 1 point, if only I hadn't had a week off on holiday. Grrrrrr!

Thanks but shallow victory that!!
Stick of rock sounds good to me...wish we..should I say me..could be as fervent with my dieting routine.

Way to go..Suzyflo!!..

 

[suzyflo]

Emm I've been doing slimming world for so long it's a way of life! You're doing ok, you're a lot less than when you started...keep it up x

 

[suzyflo]

Weighed in yesterday morning at home (I remembered to buy a new battery for my scales) and then again at the official group weigh in last night - the results were the same - 1lb on which makes me bang on target..very happy with that!

I've been a bit lazy this last week and not been recording my food, I've still been sticking to plan though. I will get back to recording from today as I don't want to get complacent and fall into bad habits, it's so easy to forget eating something when you don't keep track.

Yoghurt frenzy? Are the activa better than muller lite?

 

[suzyflo]

Ha ha, something like that! They have been on offer in Tesco, £1.50 for eight and I had 3 left that were just a couple of days out of date so I thought I'd eat them all. Also I don't like to eat anything too heavy on a weigh day!!

I like the activia 0% yogs, they are thicker and more tasty than muller but its a lot smaller pot, unless you get the activia 0% snackpots, they are fairly big...I love the banoffee flavour of these, well worth 1 syn in my opinion. I do like the muller lights but only ever buy them when they're on offer, actually I only ever buy any type of yogurt when it's on offer...I quite like the weight watchers ones as well and the irish yogurts, and shape delights. I eat a lot of yogurt!!
