Spring into Summer 2012 with Slimming World

cyclingyorkie

I'm back! I lost 1lb this week, but have been distracted with DD1 having a DLA tribunal yesterday. It was very stressful, but they have given her Lower Level Care. Didn't eat particularly well yesterday ( breakfast at 7, lunch at 2.30!) and did cave and eat some home made flapjack (lovely - but so not S/W!!!)

However today is a new day - so back on the wagon! Have had porriged with blueberries, strawbs, rasps, banana,apricot and nectarine! Homemade lentil soup for lunch and goodness knows what for tea!

Morning all,

Fab result Shellie, well done!

Penny - sorry to hear you're disappointed - could be muscle as Maman suggests.

CY - well done, good result considering your stressful time.

Vicki - not sure how much it will help but you can backdate the pre-pay certs by up to a month (last para here)

All going well food and exercise wise this week, much more motivated than last week! Having plenty of work stresses though - OH has to find another job and I want to as really coming to hate mine and resent my boss. Seen one I could apply for with an old boss but not sure I have the right experience and a complete lack of self confidence is telling me I shouldn't go for it ... got a few weeks before the closing date so we'll see!

EE today:
B: Bran flakes (B), milk (A), raisins (3.5), banana
L: Quiche, salad (0.5 for quorn sausage)
T: Soya lasagne (4.5 for cheese)
S: Yogurt, strawberries, caramel Rocky (5)

Gained half a pound! Can't work that out as I did 10 mile bike ride at weekend, 4 mile walk yesterday and have stuck to plan.

Sorry to read your disheartened pennylane. I think i would be too. I bet that you will have a fabulous loss next week though.

This is my first week back on plan and I don't feel as if I've lost a thing - WI for me tomorrow morning!

You & me both MM. I was motivated yesterday for SW & have woke up this morning not wanting to stay on plan. I did however stick to plan for my breakfast, and my menu is all set for the day anyway so i hope i dont veer off course today. I am going to make an extra special effort to stay on track.

Morning all

So yesterday was day 1 for me and i stayed on plan all day which i am so pleased about. I did have a mini waiver at around 9pm when i started cupcake wars :drool: however i stuck it out & brushed my teeth instead. This seemed to do the trick & the craving disappeared.

I also went to the doctors yesterday as i have had a large lack of motivation & have been quite unhappy recently. The doctor diagnosed me with low mood & anxiety. You have no idea how much i admitting this to anyone. In my head i see it as a sign of weakness. I know that is a very stupid thing to say indeed but its the way i feel . The doctor seemed to think i had been suffering from it for a long time but my brothers death had brought it all to the surface.
We discussed a number of possibilities and i will be having weekly CBT sessions to help me change my way of thinking about myself. I really hope they help me in some way.

Really sorry to go OT but i think it explains why i am today not in the SW frame of mind. This is why i am making an extra effort to not go off track.

So my menu today is EE

B - Grape nuts & skimmed milk (Hex B & A)
L - B Rice with turkey/veg & teryiake sauce (2.5 syns)
D - Potatoes diced up par boiled & then frylighted with onions, mushrooms and rest of gammon & a side of veggies

Snacks - pineapple, an apple, strawberries & a squished peach, a WW yoghurt (0.5 syns) & a meringue nest.

Morning all - home from Brum and knackered!

First of all, Shellie - wow wow wow lady. V v well done!!; CY nice wee loss there, well done; RFD - welcome back! as others have said the tiny weight gain that you've had is nothing; Blodwen - Endomondo is totally addictive isn't it! It gives such a buzz seeing the calorie burn creeping up.

Well, I went away on Mon morning, and had 2 really good days SW wise - chose wisely and topped up with lots of fruit having very few syns to speak of. Yesterday was different I had a really poor night's sleep on Tues night and woke up knackered and grumpy yesterday. We had to be on the stand the NEC by 7.30am but managed a healthy breakfast again - melon & strawberries then grilled bacon & beans.... all good so far.
By the time we got to late morning my mood was not improving as the trade stand was relatively quiet and the time dragged. I had a mugshot and a banana about 11.30am - again all good. At 1pm one of my colleagues came back from a meeting with a small tub of mint toffee ice cream each - probably 1/2 a scoop. It was delicious and I didn't have the will power to say no. After that I picked at small cubes of cheese that we had out as samples - I probably had 2 HEAs worth By the time we finished up and I drove home, I got in at 9pm ravenous and as soon as I went into the kitchen I couldl smell chips - OH & kids had been to the chippy earlier and there was half a portion of cold chips left - well you can guess what happened to them. I was so disgusted with myself I then troughed a lonely wee chocolate crispy cake that had been left over from Mam's party at the weekend too.

God girls, why do I do this to myself?? - I know in the grand scheme of things it's not as bad as it could have been but I am so disappointed in myself. So syns yesterday were 1/2 portion of chippy chips; cheese; crispy cake; 1/2 scoop of ice cream

Apologies for this long droning confessional - kick me up the a$$ please.

RFD - we're all here if and when you need to talk, cry, moan, laugh, punch a wall etc. And you are most definately not weak!

- that i cannot do lol, and wont. like you said, everyone has slips, and the important thing is not what you've done, but how you bounce back from it. Don't lose sight of the amount that you've already lost. one wee blip on the radar won't destroy everything. infact you're making me hungry re-reading it lol!!:rotfl:

look at it this way, you could have eaten a HECK of alot more, but you didnt. And you know where you went a little ski-wiff, so thats what matters.:j

p.s SHELLIE - ruddy schmecking fantastic - how the heck did you lose all that so quickly??!!!??

cycling yorkie~good news on DD's LRC.

Dont beat yourself up kandfs mam.

fluff1987 - i don't know, in truth it worries me that I have lost so much so quickly.. perhaps it's just running around after a toddler!

RFD - Better out than in. When you get stuck in a slump stuff keeps hitting you and you never seem to get out. Thats how I felt when I was pregnant and stuck in so many different things. My attitude was very much "Whats the point, nothing makes a difference" Though I nutted against the same wall so many times it crumbled in the end. Head hurts now though

KandFs mam - lady, having been through the Brum stay over NEC thing myself the fact that you stopped at half a bag of chips and a chocy bar is amazing. I suspect if you syn it out you haven't gone as bad as you fear and could probably pull it back quite easily. No butt kicking needed.

Blowden Thank you. "complete lack of self confidence is telling me I shouldn't go for it You come across so organised and confident.. don't persuade yourself out of something that is a step up, out and on!

CY- Stressful week and a loss.. go you!

Ok must run will try and catch up later - toddler shouting with frustration, broken dishwasher (comet) and chest of drawers (argos) to deal with!
