Crap weekend, worse one so far in my journey

Ive posted how little Ive been eating, probably posting how much Im exercising on top off

Anyways I had a shift at the coffee shop Saturday at 11, Park run at 9;30am so had to put a wriggle on - the morning after the night before. I had more then a few. So I got a PB but the cost was huge

Got in, a caramel slice shouted at me - you need the sugar and energy - swallowed nearly whole.  Rushed into work, no time to make anything, starving, light headed, felt pants, nicked a sausage off the barbie then even more cake

Pulled it back a wee bit with a healthy full of speed pasta dish that night, but I was still looking sweet food, I took a spoonful of fudge cake topping

Today has followed the same vein, Ive been really good food wise , but Im searching out sugar. I dont have a sweet tooth as a rule, but right now you cant fill me 

I know its exhaustion and once I get some rest, proper rest, like Im barely sleeping either, this will pass but right now Im feeling like a huge sugar mountain and Im finding it so unsettling 

Im thinking I might take a weeks holiday from SW but I also know if I do, Ill not be back

Suffice to say, Im really struggling today, at this minute. Hopefully tomorrow things will be better x

Sometimes this happens.
Keep plodding

@Longwalker sorry to hear you’re not feeling it at the moment.  So I got a PB but the cost was huge. Can I ask what PB is please? 

I didn’t post about my weigh in on Friday morning - 3.5lb off. So was really pleased with that! I am hoping to get into the next bracket soon. 

I hope everyone else is ok. Sending virtual hugs to those who need it today. xx

Great loss

Beanie at least you was expecting it 🤗

@Abbafan1972, great loss xx

Ive had a really chilled day, I felt extremely unwell dog walking this morning so knew I needed rest, and rest Ive done, job searched and admin stuff but the only exercise was dog walking and hes a pug so not fast and not long

Im just going to see this week out till weigh in on Wednesday, not going to panic or worry. Just get to Wednesday and start again on plan. Not saying Im going to go mad, but Im going to listen to my body and eat what it wants till then

@SingleSue, Id have inhaled the cheesecake if it was calling me that loudly

What was the booklet? 

Sorry, I don’t remember your previous post. Has the consultant left? I used to be on the social team at a Saturday morning group and was glad when I stopped doing it. 

ETA:- just seen that the booklet was a summer success one.

Normally we might have thrown caution to the wind and had a slice but we are in focused mode this week, I have 1lb to go to get to my 4 and a half stone certificate and middle son has half a pound to his five and a half stone certificate and we want them desperately before going away at the end of this week.

Morning all,

Sorry for radio silence. Spent 2 hours taking gardening rubbish to the tip on Sunday as bookable local site now charges £10 a visit, so had to queue for one in neighbouring town - then did a load of gardening/planting up etc. Managed to give myself a nasty blister on my thumb and went over on my foot/ankle so feeling a bit sorry for myself!

In London yesterday - didn't have any food to take with me so purchased M&S orzo salad, banana, pineapple plus two skinny coffees. DH did slow cooked pulled pork last night which I had with SW chips. I'm still over target range!

I think you're right @bubbs - I will need to join again which is £17 odd I can't really spare right now  Well done to all the losers - funny to see how those who are stopping group seem to be doing so well flying solo. I clearly don't have the discipline..... Don't want to stop going as I like my consultant and the group, plus less than a year now to DS1's wedding so I need to keep on track.

Glad your DDad is drinking @bubbs x

Food today will be:
B - Poached egg, mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach - P, S
L - Savoury rice, lettuce, tomatoes, brown sauce - free, S, 1
D - an adapted Tom Kerridge recipe - mascarpone chilli chicken with mini potatoes and broccoli - 2 syns
HEA - milk
HEB - skinny bar
Total syns - 3

Have a good day all
Coxy

Morning all, 

Sorry missed your loss @Abbafan1972 that was a fab amount!

We got told about the summer booklet last week in group @beanielou but theirs restrictions around who gets it?? from memory you have to be at target, slimmer of the week or month, bring a friend etc etc.  Don't think I'll be seeing it any time soon 🤣

Yesterday's 5pm meeting finished at 7!! - and I'm supposed to finish at 4/4.30ish so that's a couple of hours flexi I've gained!  The days of working late into the night and weekends to finish projects are long gone for me and January can't come quickly enough!

Today's food:
B - 45g bran flakes (HEB), yoghurt 0.5 syns, strawberries
L - tuna salad with pickles, nectarines to snack on - probably 1.5 syns for salad cream
D - gammon steak, baked potato, loads of roasted veg

Hope you all have a lovely day!
