Tinytootz food diary

Nah, nothing planned, as my hours don't allow it. Just a bit of company. The joys of working from home - I can work at his, drink tea, and watch Shameless with him I move house soon too, so pennies don't really allow for me to do much. But nothing wrong with cosy nights in at this time of year, soooo cold out there!

I know what you mean - I'm completely skint after Christmas, but I wouldn't want to go out in the cold and rain!
Sounds nice x

Day 4: 13/1/11 - undecided!

Thankfully, I went to the co-op last night, as I'm working at the OH house today, and I'm not cheeky enough to raid the cupboards Plus, fairly convinced it won't be healthy, he is obsessed with SF chicken!

Pineapple, apple and grapes

Co-op Orzo salad - no idea!

Chicken noodle soup - 3
Crispy chilli chicken - 12 (????)

Day 5: 14/1/11 - awful, awful day

I hang my head in shame. Friday was totally 100% awful. All day I ate 2 toblerone cookies, and a chicken and bacon slice from Greggs. How pathetic is that? Totally ashamed of myself. On the plus side, I did walk well over 6 miles in total......

Day 7: 16/1/11 - EE

[Tinytootz]

Well, 1.5lb put on this week. Proper gutted. It's the largest gain I've had since the start. But, it's no real surprise. Feeling a bit poorly today, I possibly ate too much fruit last night. But, my gain has kinda spurred me on to get back on board as much as possible. Having difficulty combining my diet with the OH. He has problems gaining weight. So, when I would have chicken noodle soup and chilli chicken, he would have beef fried rice, chilli beef, S&S chicken balls, punnet cherries, 2 fresh cream meringues and a cookie. That is after a lunch of sausages, bacon, eggs, beans, toast, black pudding, oatcake, twirl and crisps......

But, my money worries have started to go, so that helps me make more sensible choices! When I'm a little skint, I tend to choose the cheapest thing from a menu, rather than the healthiest.

Lets see how I do

Hi hun,

Sounds like you've really been struggling. I know I for one really need to be in the zone to stick to plan... so you need to ask yourself whether you are in the zone and if not don't stress about it!
This shouldn't be a struggle... and you need to want it to do it if that makes sense!

How was your weekend - were you working all weekend?x

 

[Tinytootz]

Hey. Yes, my usual working weekend. Spent it at the OH house, but he is super poorly at the min, so I'm at home feeling pretty useless. I am in the zone, it's when I'm away from home that the problems start. But I'm mentally getting my head round it. That is, until I move house in two weeks. Then I'll be a nightmare again

Massive congrats on your news. Strange how things happen, eh? I've started back on zee pill, so expecting weight loss to be even tougher now

 

[sarah83]

I never found going on and coming off the pill had an effect on my losses, but I know it can do... I'm just hoping my half off half on last couple of weeks is initial water retention... not just me being a fat piggy!
I know what you mean about changing routine, it really does make things so much harder - but planning and preparation is key! Maybe get a load of low syn treats in ready for the move... might stop you going over the edge.
** She says after eating a big Greggs cookie instead of the healthy pasta made for lunch **

 

[Tinytootz]

I have cupboards, freezer and fridge full of sensible low syn stuff. But it's when I'm away from them But I'm slowly getting my head around it, and have started taking stuff to the OH house to snack on, like Muller lights and fruit. And I'm teaching myself how to choose sensibly again from takeaway menus. Doesn't help when you have someone telling you that you are 'perfect' and don't need to lose weight. The same person who has trouble GAINING weight! *sigh*

Onwards and downwards (once again....)
