First hurdle FALLEN

In fairness i have starved myself practically all day. I knew what was around the corner so i had made some sort of provision. I had a light breakfast and ate some popcorn for lunch to keep me going. The giddiness was brilliant, the first bite was undescribable!

I had a foot long subway, yes it was the devil food, yes it was 24 points for the whole thing but i dont care. i was very good today and im going to be very good tomorrow so all is well!

It MUST be the fact that i’ve just eaten that but i swear im just on a happy buzz. I know im wrecked tired but im looking forward to the weekend which makes a miserable change to when im just starving and moany!

weekend is upon us again

and the usual problems arise. We all like to let the hair down when it comes to the weekend. With food and a couple of beers, this is the hardest time for me.
Planning ahead with meals really doesn’t leave much scope for off the wall or spontaneous trips or dinners or trips to the pub. I’ve decided i’m going to go out for a meal and not bother with what ever it is i order, i’l enjoy it and not suffer the consequences!

5 Points of yumminess

Weight Watchers chicken Tikka meal. Ready in minutes and only 5 points and really is filling. Not only that but i was actually shocked at how nice it was!

The only thing with these meals are that they are pretty expensive but i did read somewhere that you can get Dunnes Stores own brand similar meals, called Healthy Living Meals for a lot less and they’re equally nice.

points

And what i am just after realising is now that i’ve slipped under the 13 stone radar, it also means i’m down one point on my daily allowance!

I really am amazed at how much that i have been swept up by all of this. From someone who would never have batted an eyelid after shoveling a burger king meal into me at lunch time now see’s me lookin at coworkers and saying

“eh do you KNOW how many points are in that!?”

But sadly , i dont keep it in my head sometimes and it just blurbs out.

My partner has been very encouraging with me and is helping me but sometimes i feel like a bit of a pet project for her but her support and enthusiasm is really helping me out.

one week on – result

one week on and i have lost 3.6 lb . I dunno how to feel about this, one major ish slip but a lot of hard work for the week. I dont know why but i had 5lbs in my head for some reason. I’m under 13 stone anyway and its the right track

Touch and go

Its a week today since I have started on this diet and with one major slip and a few instances of pure laziness.

Tomorrow is weigh day and although I am anxious enough about what weight I will eventually be i know i shouldn’t build myself up too much because of the little slips during the week.

In saying that i have been exercising a lot more than what i used to and that always is a good thing. Work this week has been hectic which has kept me on my toes.

There’s a leaving do in work tomorrow which i am not looking forward to as it usually involves a meal out and tea and cakes which im finding very hard to resist

Update tomorrow on weigh day! Wish me luck

mini slide

feeling suitably bored and sorry for myself i wandered into the chinese last nite. still with the diet in mind i only ordered something that was within my points and washed it down with one bottle of bud.
Bit angry with myself but whats the point on banking these points if you cant treat yourself!

Weekends Hurdle

 

Normally what the weekend brings is a mixture of over indulgence on alcohol and fast food and take away meals. I am fond of the weekend take-away , be it a bag of chips or a chicken curry.

This is my first weekend on the diet and It’s already on my mind. Its only 7pm and a mate has text me askin did i want to grab him a bag of chips when i head over to him later. Now he doesnt know im on a diet, i tend to fob people off with the whole ‘i had dinner earlier’ line.

But that aside i still have to eat something, within points that is 

nose dive

So soon to be lacking the required will power but last night i put all plans aside and went to the cinema and wasn’t as focused as i should have been.

When i think about it today I’m a bit let down with myself but am worried at the level of this. A slip up like this can really jilt you and your goals for the week which isn’t good. I’m beginning to understand the personal hell and torment that women,old and young alike go through. Its like a bug that bites you and doesn’t let go!

The weekend looks quiet and promising. I am really anxious to see the results next Wednesday I have to say.

fed and watered

my god food never tasted this good. A weight watchers tikka missala, 2 potato waffles and a crunch corner yoghurt .
I really feel better for it to but cant help but wonder if the whole empty feeling during the day is worth the hour of happiness before i go to bed?
Anyway, another day down!
