The Slimming World "Countdown to Easter"

WelshWoofer

Evening all!

Back from WI and can report 0.5 lbs off. It's what I deserve really as I have had wine, choccy and crisps this week - I think I have stayed with an average of 15 syns a day (just) but I'm a bit disappointed in myself really. I really didn't need most of the rubbish I ate. Still, I suppose its better than a gain?

In a funny way its given me a bit of incentive to try a bit harder this week - staying to group was good too.

Today's food was..
Breakfast - Oaty bar (B choice)
Mid morning - banana
Lunch - leftover beany chilli thing and a teeny bit of couscous (0.5 syns), mixed berries
Snack at WI - Hifi bar (B choice)
Tea - more leftover beany thing topped with half fat grated cheese
Snack - 1 choc dig (4 syns)

So that's 2 B choices, 1 A choice and 4.5 syns

Right off to find something to take to work for lunch tomorrow......

Am fed up with the 'wedding' we even did all wedding activities in class today i.e. cut and stick crowns, wedding meal menus, colouring union jacks and creating west minster abbey out of blocks and crates :eek:. Tomorrow we are off to local church to get 'married' oh the joys of Reception class :rotfl:

Sounds really fun!

Id say ignore ignore ignore!

SW is not about calorie counting but about making sure your body gets all the healthy foods it needs to sustain you without hunger!

Youve your day now... so why question it Ive never calorie counted at all on SW, why do I need to

I'm not someone who takes things on face value. If I take it as SW value, i've had a really off plan day. But doing SW alone has resulted in undesireable eating habits and yo yo weight loss/gain (for me personally, not saying its the case in general) so I'm throwing my all into my eating at the moment. If I take it on healthy eating in general its been reasonably good, calorie counting alone its too little, by my new values of eating when I'm hungry stop when i'm full and vaguely slimming world but not worrying too much if its above syns but still decent, Its been just fine

You should probably take into account that I am the person who spent 5 hours today merticulously collecting grass samples from a ruddy great field and is currently temporarily distracted from my otherwise terribly engrossing calculations for whether grass meets the nutritional needs of horses, right down to the last megajoule and with particular reference to vitamins and minerals, if there is too much resulting in toxicity, and even more intricately, whether its supplying too much of any which have a chain reaction down the line and cause false deficiencies of others!

In short, I'm blinking OBSESSED with nutrition from all angles at the moment, so that's why I'm questioning it.

Good lord I just read that back.... can you tell I'm rather stressy about my dissertation right now? :rotfl:

Skintslimmer - I know the end of PhD mild panic and mania too! It's been a while (more than 10 years for me) but I still remember the all encompassing trauma of the write up very clearly (painful!)

I would do anything to avoid all thesis based work, especially eating!
Good luck with the work!

DIZZY - You are an absolute SAINT - well done on leaving the eclairs alone!!!! Also the modifications on the wagon are fantastic - do we all have to chip in to pay for the upgrade?

I am still having a go at EE but I know I haven't lost anything this week (I know, I know I shouldn't get on the scales but I just can't resist) I am not blaming the EE plan though, I'm blaming my lack of willpower. I was SO good when I was getting to my target. I only gained a couple of weeks and that wasn't much but I am finding it so difficult at the moment to get back in that frame of mind.

Well done all you losers. Keep up the good work. x

Sorry for the multiple posts - I don't think I'll have a chance to do this tomorrow so to keep me on track thought I'd post the food planned today...

Breakfast - Hifi bar (B choice)
Mid morning - satsuma
Lunch - Mexican Savoury Rice (free), mixed berries
Tea - quorn sausages (free), SW wedges (free) and beans (free)

Possible snacks - skips (4 syns), kiwi, vimto lolly (2 syns)

Will try to pop on to update tomorrow - hope everyone has a good day.

Need to pop to the greengrocers tomorrow too as I'm virtually out of fruit - cardinal sin:eek::eek::eek:

Glad you understand the pain!

Its "only" an fdsc 5,000 word project, and its only supposed to be a pilot for next year's 10k one Its just snowballed Trouble is I chose a really interesting but hugely complicated subject, and in my tutor's words, I am trying to cram in an amount of work which is really more suited to a BSc project, and am going to attempt a PhD level project for next year's BSc! :eek: Trouble is, she's encouraging me!

I don't remember my BA dissertation causing anything like this much grief. Although if I remember correctly I deliberately chose an easy subject for that one :rotfl:

I (Inserts the phrase *used to* firmly here) eat to avoid doing college work too, but I'm in a better frame of mind now (and someone on here introduced me to the idea of sugar free sweets, so now if I'm in that mood I eat a small town's allowance of chewing gum instead :rotfl:)

A PhD, hey, hats off to you. :T

I too feel your pain!! my 5000 work based project has to be handed in on Thursday, when i also have to do a presentation about it. And if that's not bad enough I have my wedding to get ready for next week.....I didn't think about uni deadlines when we set the date for the wedding!!

Me too! I have 3 exams coming up in the next couple of weeks and need to get started on my dissertation and portfolio! I am swamped. Which is why im wasting time on here

:wave:

Back from my long weekend away (again). I haven't been toooo bad but still expect a gain this week. Hopefully not as much as the 3lbs that my weekend in Blackpool left me with.

Hotel breakfasts have been pretty good, lunches I've managed with fruit or salad but eating & drinking out in the evenings have been very flexi:o

Back on the wagon tomorrow, can't wait to get to Asda and fill my trolley with veggies!!

I can't beleive I forgot to mention this yday! I wanted a new pair of longer length jeans, found some in the sale in New Look for just £10 but they were the size below me. Thought I'd try them on to see anyway and they fitted :j I always get my jeans from NL so it must be tat I've lost a size rather than just different shop sizes!
