oh the challenge, before i forget

oh before i forget, me and a slimming pal on facebook were saying how fab it would be to get slimmer of the month, his group have a shield/trophey that they win if they get slimmer of the month, our consultant gets our slimmer of the month a bouquet of flowers, we were saying how good it must feel to get that, so me and Adam are going for it, and aim to get ourselves a slimmer of the month award, this isn't a competition against eachother, its encouraging eachother to get it, whether its the same month or a diff month, we would both love that achievement, so will be spurring eachother on!

friday, HOLIDAY TIME!!!!

Well today is holiday day, off for 10 days in Cornwall with the doggos to the beach and lots of walks, i LOVE my holidays, and can't wait to go next year and look a lot slimmer!!!!
However i will be enjoying this year loads too, got my shorts packed
On my last holiday i lost 5lb!!! EVEN THOUGH I HAD A TREAT EVERY DAY which you can do on slimming world, its fab!!!!
so i will do the same again, make good choices, take my hi-fi bars and a food diary, thats what helped, every morning i still had my yoghurt and fruit and a hi fi bar, then i would either have a treat for lunch, or a treat for tea, (either fish and chips, cream teas, pasties) the walking helped 100% and i only wish i could walk every day all day when i am home, would make the world of difference.
So i may well not update for the week i am away, as i am not taking my laptop, just my trusty camera for lots of holiday snaps!!!!!
see you all soon, have a good week x x x

wednesday 29th June , going to have a green day!

Well this morning I woke up and fancied a change, granted I'd been up through the night being sick, and had such a bad tummy because of these awful bites on my legs!!!
So today I maybe haven't eaten as I should because of that, for my breakfast I had a banana, for break 2x snack a jacks (4syns), for lunch I had cold rice, and baby new pots cry roasted, mixed with 1tbls chilli sauce (1syn), afternoon bread some French fries (4 syns) choc mousse, 1syn, 2 x satsuma, for tea we had a bag of chips from chippy between us! I had mushy peas over mine, however I did think about my b choices, had 2 w bread and a hi fi , I also snacked on a punnet of strawberries.

Tuesday 28th june

Hello Tuesday, today has been a great day slimming wise, for my breakfast I had a fat free activia snack pot, they are so much nicer than mullers, why haven't I discovered them before!!!! I had a banana, and 2 satsumas.
For lunch I had rice chicken,peppers,onion followed by a punnet of cherries.
For my breaks I had an apple, 2 snack a jacks (4syns) bag of velvet crunch (4syns)
For my tea I had salad, new potatoes and bacon, followed by a 2 syn gingerbread, and portion of 1 syn mousse and an apple and a satsuma, for my hex a had grated cheese over my potatoes at tea, and hexb hi fi bar on way to work

This week is always a tough one, the month end at work is a nightmare, loads of pressure for targets,then my system crashed!!! So got to finish 2 hours early!!
Tonight me and a lad called Adam on my slimming profile on Facebook have set eachother a challenge to get slimmer of the MONTH!! Tough challenge, but a good challenge so  watch this space!!!

monday,start of a new week and weigh in!!

Well tonight was weigh in, I knew I was going to gain, and I am made up that it was only 1.5,it could have been 4-5 if it wasn't for getting back on plan last week, so all on all today has been a good day, a bloody hot day, I was roasting in work, did a 10-6 shift, got a long 3 days now tue,wed,thur 10-8!! And late thur night we travel down to Cornwall, ready for 10 days without work, and I can't wait!!!!

saturday and sunday! weekends are the hardest parts

well the weekends (for me) are the worst parts, i do fab all week, and the scales say so, but then by monday night its not as good as in the week! 

grrrrrrrrrrr

that really does my head in, i KNOW when i go on monday i will have had a gain, with not going for 2 weeks, it has been a demon in disguise, it is so true when they say missing group is bad for weight loss, it really is, without group i always seem to cheat! not loads, just a little, but all them "little" cheats add up, so i am expecting a 3-4lb gain this week, but i am back on it 100%, and i am not giving up

I was nearly only going to be able to go every other week, due to work commitments,but i didn't want that, and luckily i now don't have to, so i am over the moon with that this week.

I currently do fixed shifts at work 10-6 every day (suppose to be), but i am swapping to alternate weeks of 10-6, 12-8, i can get so much more done in a morning, plus i always doing scatty shifts here and there, as if i need to do anything in the week i end up owing hours, as everything that needs doing is usually in work hours,so even though my doc thought the routine of 10-6 would be best, then i don't think it is, not anymore, the only thing that was holding me back was the group on mondays,luckily a bloke at work needs evey tuesday night off, so i will do 12-8 every tuesday, he will do 12-8 every monday, so it all works out better, so i'm a happy bunny

I sat with my slimming world books last night, sometimes its good to go back to basics, and i kind of feel like after 2 weeks off its like starting allover again, which i suppose is a good thing, its going so slow and i know my doctor said that due to medical reasons it will be,but u know the last 2 weeks i haven't been 100% and if i am going to lose this awful weight i need to be more than 100%, as the journey i know will take longer than other peoples, but hey my journey is my own, for my own reasons, no one elses, and i think that until you want to do it for yourself then you won't do it at all! 

And i do want this, more than anything, i feel like a thinner person stuck inside this horrible vile body that makes me depressed, and now i am learning to not feed that depression with food, but instead with a walk with the dogs, or a long hot soak in the bath, a fitness dvd, or some of my crafts, anything to keep me out of the cupboards!!!!

yesterday i was at work from 10-4, it was ok, took my food with me, i always do to work, then that helps loads, if i haven't got it i can't eat it, where as at weekends everything is here in the house to have, not particularly bad stuff, just stuff i can over syn on, like having 2 bags of velvet crunch instead of 1!!!! etc etc 

anyway today is a gorgeous sunny day, so its a day of gardening,not nice pretty gardening, but tough gravel moving/drive making gardening!!!! but all body magic!!

FRIDAY! OH HOW I LOVE YOU!!!!

Well today i started off really really tired! other half has had a bad week of sleep, so was up and down all night, then i woke up at 3am with our 2 dogs on the bed!!!!!
So after all the broken sleep i was knackered this morning.
Got to work at 9.30, had a portion of sw mousse (i had run out of yogs) with a banana and a satsuma
my first break at 11.45 i had a bag of quavers and a satsuma and a hifi bar, for lunch i had a chicken breast, with salad, well i say salad, i only like lettuce onion and peppers
i was so hungry today i has a bag of walkers baked at 4.15 break, and my other hi fi, finished work at 6pm, nipped to homebase for gardening stuff (day in the garden on sunday should do some good) then we popped to morrisons
Got home and wanted quick stuff for tea, so i had mr mash, with spring onions and peppers mixed in it, with 4 syn free pork sausage, and an apple for afters, and had 2 babybel chopped up into the mash.
Night time is when i get the munchies, so need to find ideas for snacky things in the evenings.


Today i haven't had any temptations to be naughty naughty, somedays i do, i have weighed myself and due to not going to weigh in for the last 2 weeks, i know i have put on at least 3lb, so i am gutted with myself for that, but i only have myself to blame, but i haven't been overly naughty at any point, so sometimes i wonder why the weight won't come off, i just have to think about what my doc said, that a pound a week is what it will be, and i need to not compare my losses to other peoples, my loss is my loss, and thats that.
Tomorrow i am at work, booooo! 10 am-2pm, and my boss is going to get everyone greasy take out breakfasts, so i have cooked extra syn free sausage, and will be taking them on wholemeal bread for my brekkie! and some fruit, so my plan is to be good, good, good
