BLAH over ate Friday and Saturday again! I'm fed up of myself, truly I am.

Friday was a late night biscuit binge which ruined my good day.

Saturday was boredom eating my way through a day at athletics * sigh * followed by a Burger at a service station on the way home, and pizza when we got in.

BUT I'm going to try and set myself a mini-target of 28 days to get back to weighing in at 13st 7's on my own scales at home (was 13st 13.8 this morning), so a month to lose 6lbs. I just need a few good days under my belt to get back into it. I'm toying with the idea of just having a rolling 7-day menu too, so I know what I'm having on any given day....

Day 1: 13st 8.8lbs

Breakfast - 125mls semi-skimmed milk, muller cappucino and a banana

Lunch: 2 x chicken drumsticks, salad, kraft dressing (2 syns), ham sandwich (w/m bread = HE B).

Day 4/28 - 13st 11.2lbs (entirely my own fault as I had a biscuit & dorito binge late on last night)and this is quite good because at least it means that tomorrow I should be back under 14st on my official weigh-in.

Anyway - I don't know how I managed it but I lost 2.5lbs yesterday, which is my gain from last week. I'm half a pound down for the month now with one week left. I think my scales might be on their way out because they used to match my consultant's scales, and now they seem to be a pound heavier!

Total loss 2st 3.5lbs.

Breakfast: Overnight oats (blueberry yoghurt and strawberries)

Lunch: Mugshot

Dinner: smoked salmon, scrambled egg, salad, Kraft (1 syn), 30g cheese

Day 3 - 13st 13.8lbs (2.2lbs down on yesterday, 4lbs down on day 1!!!!!!) - hope it's not a fluke on my scales cos I'm extremely pleased to be back under the 14st mark.

Athletics today, so will be out of the house between midday and 5pm. I'm taking some healthy food with me, but I know if I get bored I will be raiding the family picnic basket. It's a meeting that doesn't run to a timetable and both kids are taking part on the same day so it's not actually as boring as the ones we have been going to. I say "kids" as my eldest is nearly 18, and he's got a lot of potential and his personal best for the 100m is 10.9 seconds with an average of 11.2, so with coaching and growing, we could be watching him at the Commonwealth games. I don't know if anyone is watching the athletics but 21-year-old Adam Gemili who is part of the relay team was running the same times as mine as a 17-year-old.

BUT - the days are still long and boring apart from the 11 seconds that he's running the 100m lol.

Breakfast: Omelette (3 x eggs, cheese allowance, mushrooms, onion, bacon and a bit of brown sauce) 1 syn

At Athletics: Grapes, Blackberries, Blueberries, mint yoghurt, 2 x alpen lights

Dinner: 2 x Salmon burgers (Lidl) - 4 syns, 3 x Linda McCartney Sausages, salad, Kraft (1 syn), 100g potato wedges (3.5 syns).

Snacks: 1 x bag of mini party rings (5.5 syns)

Thanks for the reply Vicky. 100m was 11.16s yesterday which is his new electronic PB (10.9 is hand timed)

Breakfast: Mugshot, banana

Mid-Morning: Grapes, Pom Bears (3.5 syns)

Lunch: Bacon, Onion, Mushroom Omelette with brown sauce (1 syn)

Mid-Afternoon: Mini Magnum (6 syns), 2 x Ginger Biscuits (5 syns)

Evening: 2 x Alpen Lights

I'm going to have a go at making that half-syn cake tomorrow, just bought all the ingredients in for it - yikes £7!!!! It had better be worth it.

 

[vix88]

Well done to him

Mid-Morning: banana

Lunch: Uncle Ben's microwave rice (3 syns), packet of Walkers pops (4 syns)
