Guess Who's Back

So, I've joined slimming world again, probably for the 2nd or 3rd time since I last updated this bit of the internet. Oops. And I'm pretty much back where I started. Double Oops. I'm not sure I can say something is different this time, but I can definitely say I was losing the plot food wise. I'm exercising lots, but have been making excuses for that to mean I can eat more, which is true to a degree, but if I'm doing 3 'bootcamp' sessions a week and not losing any weight then I think something needs to be done. Weigh in is Wednesday. Fingers crossed for a good one!

The Need for Speed

If I'm honest, I'm getting fed up with SW now, I seem to be getting nowhere fast. I listen to what other people eat and while they all seem to follow the 'Extra Easy' route, they don't seem to follow the third of your plate as super free (er, hello, peas and sweetcorn?!) and they all seem to be doing really well at it. I'm very strict about eating my veg, so am feeling a little bit disheartened with my very slow weight loss. Hurumph!

I'm toying with the idea of going back to doing mainly red days, as I know this works for me. I really want to speed up my weight loss, and think this is the way forward. So from now on I am going cold er, potato on the carbs. It's gonna be hard, but a necessary evil. Tips for low carb meals anyone?!

Weigh in tonight, and truth be told, am dreading it. Again.

Fresh Start

I've not posted for a while, but thats probably because I haven't really lost much weight recently, I managed to get to the 1 stone loss mark 3 months ago but I seem to be plodding along ever since (one on, one off, etc), and 'cheating' (myself) at any opportunity! It's weigh in tonight, and am kinda looking forward to it, there is no way I've lost this week after yet another festival, too much booze / bad food / not enough good food have put a stop to any weight loss, but I'm looking forward to the fresh start. I'm buying a 6 week countdown, and have no plans that will sabotage my weight loss. I have also picked up some pretty bad habits which I am writing down to name and shame myself, if I do any of these any time soon I shall slap myself silly!

Pigging out on a Tuesday night after weigh in, whether I lose or not. Why on earth would I do that?! Calories certainly do count on a Tuesday night, if I like it or not!

Sneaking food that I don't want or need, grabbing a chocolate bar while I'm at the till, pinching another biscuit because nobody saw me do it, having my daily cheese allowance and then grating the same again on top, none of these things will help me lose weight, they only make me feel like a crazy person!

Secret eating. Eating so secretly that even I don't know i'm doing it, we've probably all done it, and I mean getting so drunk, that the KFC/Pizza/Kebab you have on a boozy evening was a distant memory, so not counting it. See - Crazy!

There you go, enough of the promises, will update later on the weigh in.

Wish me luck!

update:
2 lb gain this week :( deserved though!

Biding Time....

So my plan to lose another 7lbs for christmas hasnt quite materialised. Had planned on exercising like there was no tomorrow, but it hasnt happened. Real life got in the way and have had far too much on. On the plus side I have lost 0.5 lbs for the last two weeks so I have another 1lb off, so at least its a step in the right direction. I'm also spookily prepared for christmas, so after a mammoth wrapping spurt today I'll have no excuses but to be 100% on track with the plan, and squeeze a bit of exercise in there too. Pray for me :)

In the Zone

Just back from weigh in and very happy with this week's loss, another 2 off, which is ace considering the amount I have consumed over the last week. Definitely a taster of what I want to happen most weeks so its spurring me on to do well again this week, and hopefully get my half stone award.

As an added bonus, I got slimmer of the week, and won the raffle in class, so came home with two big bags of fruit and veg! Whoop!!

Onwards and Upwards as they say!

Weigh in 2

So last weeks weigh in post was a week late, oops, must remember to record on here!

Didn't manage to get to class this week, been a bit of a rotten week with my husband's Grandad passing away suddenly, and the funeral being on the day of my class. Truth be told I was a bit too drunk to be going to slimming world that evening! Even so, have had a pretty good week on the plan, stuck to it every day so hope that it shows next week on the scales. Another good week ahead I hope!

Weigh In 1

So had a pretty good week, managed a 4lb weight loss even though I have eaten heaps this week! Initially thought that I had hoped for more as two weeks ago I put on 7lb in a week on all inclusive holiday so really wanted that to come off, but 4lb is still pretty good, and keep trying to remind myself that its a marathon, not a sprint!

Made quite a few 'takeaway' meals at weekend so that I didnt feel like I was missing out on anything, my fave being the mega meatball curry, with rice and salad, and a dollop of mango chutney (2 syns per tablespoon) it was yummy, and only synned food there is the chutney! Leaving more syns free for a cheeky vodka or two.
