Woah !!! Get you with all the planning (mmm lots of ideas for me to pinch too ) I too felt different this morning not having the scales looking back at me shouting 'get on weigh yourself... you know you want to!'. I feel more confident now they are away, I think the challenge is about trusting in the plan and to be honest not having the scales there really forces you to trust in the plan.

In a strange way I like getting to the point where we need a weekly shop as its like a fresh start with lots of new ideas.

I'm glad you're starting to feel better being on plan, slowly but surely

[Derbynanny]

Have had a very sad and trying day today, very emotional in general and have now found out that one of my lovely members died yesterday of a brain tumour :-( she was only 47 and only diagnosed a few months ago so so so sad. I think shocking on many levels but also the fact that she is the same age as me really hits home,

Need to stop picking NOW have had 2 small slices of soreen and 2 small pieces of flapjack and already eaten my tortilla for tea. Feeling really down but have to remember overeating will make it worse not better !!!

 

[gobolino]

Keep strong. You're right overeating will not help in any way at all. Try to keep strong and you'll feel better for it (I know its easier said than done). I love malt loaf, I've not had it in ages! You're doing so well to have stopped at 2 small slices.

Are you able to keep yourself occupied with food preparation (of sw friendly meals) ? Or are you in work ?

 

[Derbynanny]

Well I didn't stay strong at all :-(

BUT today i am not punishing myself just back to it and allowing myself up to 5 syns so I don't feel unduly deprived.

I am making myself go to weigh in and will not weigh before i go. I know it is a gain as in the last 2 weigh ins I have not weighed in and have been on the plan about 1/3 of the time.

The scales are staying away!

While unable to run I have decided to look more carefully at speed and superspeed foods trying to eat 5 or more a day and aim for some at least 2/3 meals a day and ALL snacks are going to include speed foods

Todays Plan
Yogurt and strawberries SS (1)

Lunch
chicken and Salad S(2 and 3)

snack (strawberries, plum with cherry yogurt 2 syns)SS (4) S (5)

snack
tomatoes and cucumber with ham (s6 and 7)

Didn't really feel like dinner so just having
42 g red fat cheese and half a melon (ss8)


hi fi bar (heb) and cheese
milk in teas (hea)
2 syns

 

[gobolino]

You've stayed strong on the no SP challenge An achievement in itself, its not easy.

Todays a new day and allowing yourself syns is definitely a good plan, to not feel deprived. I think you'll feel better for weighing in, even if its a gain, at least then you'll have a clean slate.

You've got to love a speed food challenge! It does make you think about getting more variety I think. Good luck for your weigh in.

 

[Derbynanny]

Tomorrow is going to be super busy so must think carefully and plan to eat !!
