The Princess Diaries (..and blog all in one!) **THREAD NOW CLOSED**

[Clareel]

Hey there, sorry you had a bad time getting your implant changed. I've seen a few being put in where I work and I'm not surprised it hurt! At least it's done now and you don't have to worry for 3 years. Next time take some painkillers about 45 minutes before your appointment and they should kick in so it's not quite as painful.

Well done on sticking to plan despite having a bad time - it's easy to turn to food for comfort when something like that happens and you've done really well to stick with it

Well done on your size 16 RI shorts being loose that's fantastic! I also think RI sizes are on the skimpy side, you'll be slipping into a 14 soon!

Have a lovely night with your friend tonight.

Thank you again Maggymay and Clareel for your lovely comments. You both are so supportive and wonderful!

My arm is feeling much better today, thank you. It is still a little sore and bruised, but I am managing much better Plus, I'm sure it's nothing a few drinks can't sort out

Have a great weekend both of you xx

 

[Clareel]

Glad to hear the arm is better, medicinal alcohol will definitely help hehe!

[maggymay]

Haha, yes a glass or 2 (syned of course)!! Cures all aches and pains! It's fabulous having a community like this, just knowing someone is out there, sending positive vibes your way really helps, doesn't it?! Have a fab weekend, girls and thanks xxx

Day 13, Extra Easy: 10/10/11

Well it's fair to say I overly indulged in alcohol at the weekend, and am now feeling VERY nervous for my weigh in tomorrow night. It's only my second week, which makes it worse - but to be fair, it was my cousins birthday (we're more like best friends) and I couldn't not celebrate with her! Also, I am planning on staying in for the next few weekends, in order to try and save for Christmas - this should keep me out of mischief and away from all of the naughties!

To make up for it I'm going to try and have lots of superfree today and tomorrow, and keep away from anything naughty! I would really love a loss on Tuesday (was hoping for 1.5lb off, so I could get my half stone award), but realistically I am hoping for anything but a gain!!

Watch this space xx


Breakfast:
2x Chocolate Weetabix (HExB + 2Syns) with 250ml Semi-Skimmed Milk (HExA)

Snacks:
Banana


Oh dear, I'm having a bit of a nightmare today! I have forgotten my bank card today and only have around £1.30 on me. I have MugShot's in my drawer, so am going to make do with them for lunch, and an Apple I have brought in. Thank God I am having Superfree broth for Dinner to make up for it!


Lunch:
2x Tikka flavour MugShot (2 Syns)
Apple

Dinner:
Superfree Speed Broth (Lentils, Carrots, Onion, Potato, Parsnip, Celery and stock) with an Instant Mash 'Dumpling'

Weigh In: Week Two

I was soo nervous going to Weigh In last night, after such a boozy weekend, but as I stepped on the scales I was pleasantly surprised..I have maintained

I was expecting to have put on, so I am happy with a maintain. I know I am stopping in over this weekend, so I will not have the same problem at Weigh In next week.

When I hop on the scales next week I want to have lost at least 2lb - although I only need 1½lb off to reach my half stone award. Our consultant has a '2lb lucky dip prize' - every time you lose 2lb, you put your name into a hat. At the end of Image Therapy the winner is drawn and will receive a small Slimming World related gift. On my first week back at group, I lost 5½lb and also won the 2lb gift!

My Current Mini Target is to have lost 21lb by Christmas. This is still acheivable with 10 more Weigh In's until Christmas, if I just lose 1½lb per week. I know I can do it!!

Hope everyone else who has Weighed in had a great result. Here's to a great week everyone, good luck xx

Day 15, Extra Easy: 12/10/11

Today I'm feeling really motivated Although I was pretty happy with a maintain last night, I want to dive right back into the plan and get the weight moving again. This week is going to be 100% back on plan, and I will shift at least 2lb next week! Here goes.. xx

Breakfast:
Activia FF Yogurt
Apple

Day 16, Extra Easy: 13/10/11

Good morning everyone, hope all is well. Not a lot to report this morning - I am still feeling very motivated and determined to lose my 2lb (maybe more!) this week.

Today I am also feeling particularly organised, and have pre-planned my lunch and dinner - something I don't usually do. I have been asked to go round to my friends, Katie, for dinner tonight with her and her boyfriend Sean. Feeling quite proud of myself that I turned down a syn-laden Mince dinner and instead offered to make Chicken stuffed with FF Cottage Cheese, wrapped in Bacon. Katie is going to get Jacket Potatoes and Salad to go with this - a delicious, Syn Free meal!

Hope you're all having a great week - good luck to anyone who may be weighing in today xx

Day 17, Extra Easy: 14/10/11

Today I feel so motivated! I'm so looking forward to a weekend in, away from alcohol. I'm determined to lose 2lb by Tuesday, and so far have stuck to plan 100%, and will continue to do so.

Hope you all have a great weekend, and don't overindulge too much xx


Breakfast:
3x fat trimmed Rashers of Bacon in 2 Slices of Hovis Wholemeal Bread (HExB)
Kenco Cafe Latte (4.5 Syns)

Snacks:
4x White Chocolate Mikado (2 Syns)


Oops, having a bit of a naughty lunch today, which is a lot higher in Syns than I would normally have. Also, I've noticed I haven't had any superfree today - something I need to change. Seem to have gone off plan quite a bit today, so going to class this as a 'Flexi Syn' day - ideally I don't want to use any more than 40 Syns today.


Lunch:
Wholemeal Roll (6 Syns) with Chicken, Bacon and Mayonnaise (10 Syns)
Bacon Wheat Crunchies crisps (7.5 Syns)

Thanks hun, hope you have a great weekend too! I'm sure you'll still do great, regardless of your evening out and wine - I managed it last week after a very boozy weekend, so if I can do it anything is possible :8855:

Well done for tucking into baked beans rather than something naughty! Great willpower

Do you have any nice plans for the weekend? xx

That's brilliant hun! Well done for being so committed and buying the countdown I'm thinking about buying a countdown at some point too, it's a good way of keeping yourself motivated when you know you've already paid for it.

Glad to hear your having a really good week and that you enjoyed your dinner out last night - that's the great thing about the plan, we're not restricted at all and can still go out and do the things we love!

Looking forward to hearing how you get on with your first week back on plan, keep me updated when you weigh in on Wed chick - I'm sure you'll do fantastically well xx
