You were right! Just WI this morning on a whim (usually WI Friday mornings) and I'm 11st exactly!! Can't believe I've not gained a single pound! Counting myself extremely lucky and attempting to convince myself not to be so stupid again. Want to get to target (10st) for my weekend away in May (17th-19th) as it's a good place to aim for, I think! Just worked it out and if I start WI properly every Sunday now, I have exactly 11 weeks to lose 14lbs. Is that reasonable?! I think it is... Just over 1lb a week :)


Yay, welcome back again Laura :D Ah, I'm feeling a lot better now, being sick sucks! Hope you're feeling better now though? I am getting back on it 100% tomorrow with you, we can do it together! xx
 
Glad you are feeling better! I'm still a little bit bunged up but nothing too bad! It's being around 4/5 year olds all week that makes me all germy aha! Yes!! Tomorrow is D-day (diet day) lol! I'm going to have to do some figuring out syns etc tonight! :) Hopefully we shall succeed!! x
 
I hope you've had a good first day back, too??

Managed to control myself, yay! Had major cravings though and been so hungry... Think it is literally just because I've told myself I'm back on the 'diet' :p Appetite has been rubbish lately so it's annoying it chooses now to come back with a vengence! Might let myself have a few extra syns so I can have a nice, Cadbury Tassimo hot chocolate this evening as I'm really craving something sweet :) It has a milk disc and a syrup disc so I might just count the milk as a HexA (nowhere near enough for a HexA, but a tweak nonetheless!) and 2-3 syns for the syrup :) (Ok, worked it out and no need to go over syns! Woop :))

25/2/13

Breakfast - Half a mango and 2 slices wholemeal bread (HexB) with butter (3 syns) and jam (3 syns).

Lunch - Rice noodles, prawns, mushrooms, spring onions, sweet chilli sauce (2.5 syns) and soy sauce.

Dinner - 'Fried' potatoes, Nando's marinaded (0.5 syns) chicken breast and salad with half a tbsp tomato sauce (0.5 syns).

Snacks - Rich tea biscuit (1.5), Cadbury's Tassimo hot chocolate (HexA and 3 syns).

Syns - 14

No exercise today as I have been very lazy and just schlepped around at home all day! x
 
Oh, and I have an interview at a nursery at 10.30 tomorrow morning :D Wish me luck! x
 
Well done for getting back to plan love :) I'm heading back AGAIN with my tail between my legs, why am I struggling so much?! I think the crappy weather has much to answer for.

Good luck for your Interview! I'll keep everything crossed for u xx

Haha I really need lots of bugging and support to keep going this time! Life is actually treating me pretty well right now!

I got the job I interviewed for back in February (the one mentioned in the last few posts on here) and I really loved it at first but eventually realised it wasn't for me. Finished there on the 2nd sept and now have a part time job as a nanny for two adorable 6 week old twin girls :D

11 hours per week but it is perfect to keep me going for now until I go to uni next year! :D

How are you? Been keeping up to date with your blog and posts on here and it looks like you've had a rough few months! How's your daughter doing now? Also saw about yours and hubby's anniversary the other day, congrats! :D x

Sneaking back in (AGAIN!) to have somewhere to write down what I'm eating ;D Back on plan again as of today, determined this time as I want to have a bikini body for my holiday in June! Going to Zante on my first ever proper holiday and I want to be comfortable strutting around in not much clothing! Haha, done a big Aldi shop this morning and stocked up on LOADS of vegetables and fruits (even got some new ones to try, papaya and passion fruit!) and some lean beef and a whole chicken!

SO excited for dinner tonight, and excited about the plan full stop :)

Day 1

Breakfast: Banana (woops, meant to have more but didn't have time before shopping).

Lunch: Jacket potato (2 syns on light butter) with a skinless jerk seasoned chicken thigh, cucumber, tomato and beetroot with 1/2 tbsp salad cream (round it up to 1.5 syns).

Dinner: Beef stew (1 syn on safe side for flour) -lean beef, carrots, onions, swede, garlic, leeks, celery, bovril, thyme - with mashed potatoes (1 syn for butter) and wholemeal bread (B).

Snacks: Coffees with skimmed milk and sugar (A and 3 syns), 12 flying saucers (3 syns).

Total syns: 11.5
