And i lost 4lbs, dead chuffed that i have lost last week's alcohol gain and hopefully it's spurred me on as i only have 0.5 lb to get to my 4 stone.
Struggled a lot this week, i tink i am getting a bit bored, i have still stayed within points but the 'wanting' to eat bad stuff was around all week, i suppose i just have to be happy that i didn't cave in.
I'm going to trawl ebay and the net for some more recipes to shake things up a bit this week, it doesn't help that DH has given up on 'my food' and i have cooked him a few dinners this week i couldn't have (chip butties and full english brekkie), it's not so much that i wanted them, it was just so much easier and felt less of a diet when we were all eating the same......if that makes sense?
Anyway i can smell some lovely soup on the stove and i need my dinner, off i go!
Eeeek, well as expected i put on 1.5lbs
But considering i had 30 points on Saturday alone on booze i was never going to get away with it, and that's without all the food at the wedding.
We had a fabulous time, it was by far the best wedding reception i've ever been to, they played punk/oi music and karl and i danced nearly all night!
Had to laugh cos my leader doubted i knew what i had eaten after using 30 points for drinks alone and i replied 'Oh yes i ate half the buffet and had a burger on the way home',might as well be honest eh ? Lol
I have been back on track as of sunday morning but i seem to have been suffering from bloatedness since i was off sick last week, there must be a bug going round as a few of the girls have had it at work so hopefully that will subside by next WI.
Oh well, onwards and upwards.
Well after losing 1.5 lb this week i am 1 lb over the halfway mark!
Rather chuffed with that as i didn't think i would get this far and getting loads of compliments to spur me on.
Karl and i are witnesses this weekend for the couple that were our witnesses so not sure how this week will go, will i resist the drink??
We shall see.....
I have just updated my ticker and realised that if i lose 1 lb next week i am exactly half way !!
Well i lost 1 lb
I walked every day or night last week and i suppose it might have been a bit more but maybe it'll show next week and even if it doesn't i know my legs are toning.
I worked out that i walked the equivalent of from derby to leicester, not bad eh?
My leader was back from her hols so se presented me with my certificate.
20 weeks in and still focused, i never thought it would happen but i am really starting to realise this is a lifestyle change and not a 'diet'
Tonight we had a lovely Chicken Chasseur with rice and Banana and Custard and it totalled 8 points, you can't call that dieting!
As i say every day, long may it continue.
WI Wk 19 and i lost 2 lbs
Which means i got my 7th silver 7, 50 lbs loss , 20% AND i got into the 14's, i was so chuffed and it's spurred me on even more.
I've dropped a point of course but in a wierd way i am looking forward to learning to live with even less, i have to get out of the high point sweet treat of an evening, i started on 29 points so i am gradually having to re think what treat i do allow myself, it's certainly never going to be a snickers or mars bar again!
We had a stand in leader again today and she asked me how i had done so well (poor class having to listen to me talk again)and i still say it's going back to basics, cooking from scratch, no buying in anything that will tempt me and the extra walking.
Feeling really positive today, i just hope it lasts!
The patch went on, had an awful night with nightmares that seemed to go on forever, got up and felt great.
I got 5 hours in the day when the cravings started and they went on and on until i caved in :o(
Under certain amounts of pressure at home and i suppose i just have to be glad that at least the eating is on track, i've beaten this food lark and i am sure i will beat the smoking, maybe my time isn't right so i will try again, when i feel better placed.
