L: HM wrap with hummous, ham and salad, carrot sticks
S: apple, nectarine

Am going to the gym today after work
Forgot to mention the only saving grace for yesterday was that I did 1 hour weeding in the garden plus 1 hour dog walking!O/S weight loss 2.5 /10lbs (11st 8.0- 08.02)0 -
Welcome to the newbies, I love it when people join, it gives me a bit of an incentive to make more of an effort. Don't want to be shown up by the new girls!
B - missed, early vet appt. For the mutt, not me!
L - ham & pickle sandwich with hm wm and butter
Dinner - exactly as last night, it's more economical to make two and I never get tired of roasts
S - banana, 3 pink wafer biscuits
E - Dash to the vet, on to DD's, on to change an item in Asda, on to the PO and home. Phew, shattered already. Will be doing a minimum 4x5 mins on tm and if it stops raining the front garden desperately needs weeding before it turns into a meadow.
have a good rest of the day0 -

As it's the first if the month today I woke up feeling like I really need to put some extra effort into losing this weightI hate that I keep putting on and losing the same couple of pounds and I'm not really getting the results I want, although 5lb loss is still 5lb loss. I would like to make that at least a 7lb loss by the end of the challenge and then I will just have the 1st left to lose overall.
I had breakfast this morning which I don't usually do but I will try and have something for the next few weeksI had some focaccia with hmm soup at lunchtime but maybe I need to keep an eye on the amount of bread products I eat?
New month, renewed determination to succeed. Fingers crossed it works
B: porridge
L: hm vegetable soup, focacciapulled pork, hm coleslaw, spicy mushrooms
S: satsumas, plums, apple2016 Grocery Challenge January: £296.20/£300 February: £262.05/£3000 -

Knit Witch...6 birthdays :eek: I think I'd write the week off now
Well I'm still doing rubbish. There's so much !!!!!! going on at home that I can't focus on dieting. I'm yo-yoing between missing meals altogether because I CBA, eating chocolate instead of a meal, or having a meal but higher calorie than normal. I'm so sick of weighing things. I feel so stressed and grumpy that even when I eat something nice I don't appreciate it, which is a bit of a waste!
The only good thing I can take from this summer is that given how stressed and anxious I've been (don't imagine that your kids growing up means the worry ends, any of you) it's a miracle I've not put weight on. I suppose it shows my self control is working enough of the time to keep my weight steady, so it could be worse.
Had a meal out last night, I had 2 courses and felt so full afterwards my stomach hurtIt's an unwelcome side effect of dieting for so long, that I can no longer eat a big meal when I'm out.
If you could live one day of your life over again, which day would you choose?0 -
