Weight Loss the Old Style Way! Part 7. Please read posts 1 and 2 before posting.

TravellingAbuela

Evening all - back from my four days at the caravan - all went well, sticking to my eating plan, until today! We went for a run to Ripon market before setting off back home at tea-time. We decided we would have late lunch there and I was all set to have a salad - but somehow a huge plate of beer battered haddock, chips and peas appeared in front of me! Not content with that I then succumbed to a box of Thorntons mini caramel shortbread squares! So tomorrow will be a serious damage limitation day and I shall brave the scales on Saturday! You are all doing so well with your weight losses I am hanging my head in shame!

evening all
back to update the rest of my meals:
lunch: pizza express doughballs, diavolo pizza and glass of vino.
dinner: roasted squash salad, grilled chicken, 2 small slices crusty bread and butter.

exercise: 2 hours of walking around shops, my legs are killing me!

tomorrow's meals:
breakfast: cereal, plain LF yoghurt, dried apricots
lunch: homemade minestrone soup (a la nigella, but surprisingly low fat :cool:)
dinner: not sure, as DH away, so just me to cater for. something with lots of onions and broccoli which he complains about when he's here. :rotfl:

exercise: will try and go for a swim, or possibly to a class. need to be extra good as off for girly day in london on saturday, including lunch and dinner out plus cocktails after the theatre (Wicked, so so excited ) so will probably not be good

slowlyfading ur breakfast smoothies sound lovely.

B: aldi exotic muesli with SS milk
S: plum, apple, WW hula hoops (last packet and I'm not buying any more!)
L: large portion LO HM vegetable Thai green curry with brown rice
S: free M&S choc & orange mini bite (90 cals, 4.2g fat}. There was two tubs full of these in the office and I was craving them all day today and yesterday so am pleased I managed to eat just one tiny one lol I thought of you and your strength love to paint!
minted lamb chop with vegetables
s: biscuits, bread and butter

Exercise: 45 minutes walking and 40 minutes spinning class (£1 trial offer). I have another one booked for next week but that will probably be the last as reluctant to pay full price!

Waiting until Tuesday for weigh in but my cheeks and collar bone seem to have a bit of definition. I keep stroking them to check but probably just wishful thinking!

If you fancy trying the soy yoghurts, I also like the Peach and Pear Alpro ones that come in a 4pack even though I have never been a fan of fruity yoghurts - but DH and DDs love all the flavours.

Thanks Boodle, will try those, shopping later.

Yesterdays weigh-in 10st 6lb, loss of one pound, slow but sure!

Have a good day all, lovely weather this morning

Well done Miss Penny Pincher, keep up the resistance! Funny you should say about your cheekbones, keep noticing my changing features(!) takes some getting used to doesn't it! Sparrer, very well done on reaching such a milestone, fabulous!

Morning all, lovely day here just right for having my carpets cleaned, so will spend some time in the garden getting exercise. Def 2 birds with one stone

Yesterdays -
B Slice fresh pineapple, dry fried egg on plain wm toast, small glass grapefruit juice
L Grilled pork loin chop, choc croissant
D Salad with 1/2 f cheese, last scoop of lf ice cream
Snacks banana, pear

Exercise - moving all the furniture from the lounge to the kitchen! Didn't know I had so much junk but all sorted out now

Thank you everyone for all the lovely comments, I am on a bit of a high but won't feel 'safe' til I've lost a few more lb - perhaps I should go on another cruise, you walk miles on those ships :eek:
Hope everyone's got the same weather as we have here

Afternoon all.

sparrer - very well done! :T:j

I had my weekly weigh-in this morning and it's STS. I'm actually very pleased with that as I haven't eaten particularly well and have done next to no exercise all week - the fact I haven't put any weight on bodes well for the end of my diet (which is a long way off, but I like to plan ahead! )

Last night's dinner changed as I came home early from work feeling ill and couldn't face cooking: luckily I always keep HM ready meals in the freezer so I had a portion of Greek lamb stew rather than succumbing to the temptation to buy pizza. :A Washing it down with the glass of wine I had intended to use for making dinner was less angelic, however!

Today goes:

B - none - I phoned in sick and went back to bed, and didn't wake up in time to eat breakfast (well, if you can't sleep late when you're ill, when can you do it? )
L - two white rolls (the 'cook yourself' variety which I got cheap from Approved Foods) with boiled egg, salad cream and cucumber; handful of cherry tomatoes
S - FF yoghurt with HG blackcurrants stewed with honey
D - macaroni cheese with bacon and mushrooms; two apricots (the ones from yesterday which I didn't get round to eating)

If I'm still feeling ill I might treat myself to a hot toddy before bed - any excuse, eh?

Have a good day, all.

Sorry you're poorly CCP, well done for STS.

I am feeling rather slim today after wearing a pair of trousers that I've either never worn having bought at a jumble sale to Slim In To or wore so long ago I don't remember. I found I had run out of belt holes and my jeans were falling down, so gave these a go and they fit great! Very happy with myself! Not so happy that the white linen trousers I bought in Asda yesterday fit perfectly but are so see through I can't wear them even with white or nude undies. Will have to return.

Today
- Toast
- Ryevita minis and RF humous
- Choc mousse x 2
- Club bar
- Eton mess (fat free, HM version)
- Gammon, new potataoes, carrots, asparagus, peas, gravy.

Dreadful food intake, I know.
Had pudding before dinner as I won't actually have dinner until DH gets home but I was hungry and had planned a pudding anyway so I thought better to eat that than extra!

Hi all, hugs to all those who are poorly or down, and congratulations to all those who have lost and especially those who have dropped down to a new stonage (bit jealous, but I will get there).

Been walking lots (as had no money for bus - got paid today).

Food today has been:

b: 2 wbx with nana
s: cherries, yoghurt, and alpen bar
l: tuna pasta with pesto, strawberries and yoghurt
d: paxo stuffed chicken thighs, corn on the cob and green beans - then meringue with fat free vanilla yoghurt and strawberries and raspberries - yum yum yum!!

Got offered double cream free with the strawbs - but I don't like cream so said no - not very mse but don't like to throw food away and most of the girlies at work are trying to lose weight.
