of me being a groupie with Daryl the guitarist from my 2 favourite bands, he didn't recognise me!
for anytime in the future i think a 'few' treats wont hurt.
Well we went to a gig on Saturday night, travelled to Bedford (90 miles away)got there at 7pm an hadn't eaten since lunchtime so hubby fell into a chippy and i ended up at the kebab shop next door buying a burger, not a good start, yes i had 10 points left but of course that and the many Smirnoff Ices later (2.5 points each) took me way over my points for the day.
Yesterday i was not too bad, cooked mum a roast dinner but went over my points again by the end of the day so this morning i have woken up, feeling all lethargic and knowing that today i MUST have some sort of detox and get back on the wagon.
According to the wii fit yesterday morning i had put on 3lbs, by the time i went on again last night(obsessed i am) i had put on another 2lb so thats 5 lb in a day!
Yes i know it wil be volume of food but by god it made me feel awful so today i take mum to Nottingham, put her on a bus home and get back on the plan with a vengeance!
and considering it's my week off it doesnt bode well or Tuesday when i am back to 5.30am wake ups.
Saying that its now 5.30am saturday morning and i am up, showered and dressed and about to go to Asda!
Well, the diet/maintainance malarky has been a bit hit and miss this week, after the scone episode, it only got worse on Wednesday, took Mum to Bakewell, had what i thought was the best choice lunch which was a Jacket Spud with Tuna
Oh no it wasn't!
It came with Butter (my fault for not asking) Tuna in oil and the Mayo was full fat, so i spent most of Wednesday with a stomach that resembled a washer on full spin.
Come Thursday i was desperate for a healthy day and all i wanted to eat for lunch AND dinner was salad, i just couldnt face anymore fat so that was a good day in points.
Friday we took Mum to Chester and for lunch i had yet another salad, not the most inspiring meal i have ever had, it came with potatoes or chips which i refused either, then all it had was tuna,lettuce,cucumber,toms and cheese (which i left)i make a better salad at home and that was £4.30!
Anyway today we are off for a walk in the Peak District today, then we come back and get ready as Karl and i are off to a gig in Bedford tonight, seeing as i have been up since 3.30am its going to be a long day, both trying to stay in points and stay awake!
Roll on normality.
Well today i had my first WI since goal and i STS.
Now of course that is good and that is the plan but it felt so strange after 50+ weeks of getting on the scales and hoping to see a loss.
The only downside is that i still earned 35bps last week and only had one extra point a day so it's not a lot if that's what it takes to maintain but i guess it's very early days and will take a while to settle down.
This week i have my Mum up from Suffolk for the week and after WI she wanted a cuppa so off we toddled into town and i succumbed to a Cheese Scone & Butter, then i got home and ate a Curly Wurly!
Now of course you would think that's not really that bad in the grand scheme of things but according to my stomach a few hours later, it is.
Its now going around like a washing machine and gurgling away, so i guess its safe to say i have been super healthy lately and even a little bit of naughtiness affects me.
Oh well if it keeps me on the straight and narrow it can't be a bad thing :o)
i have had since Tuesday.
So i woke up on Wednesday morning as if i no longer have a focus in my life.
Now i know that isn't true and now the real hard work begins but it's so strange when you have spent 54 weeks concentrating on a goal and then you are there, it's like....'what do i do now?'
Tuesday and Wednesday i went a bit over points, we're not talking massively,no huge treats, it totalled 5 points so relatively small but by Thursday i was determined to get back on it as i am not getting on that slippery slope.
Also this week i was talking to one of the 'skinnie's' at work and it turns out i am now only one stone more than her, now if she is skinny, i guess that makes me slim, but do you think i can work that one out in my head?
For so many years i have belonged to the 'larger lady' community (diplomacy coming in here lol) that i guess in my head, that's still what i am, i wonder how long it will take my head to catch up with my body?
But all in all it's been a fabulous week, Mum is coming to stay for a week tomorrow, i just hope she likes my ww way of cooking, she's 75 and i bet she's never used garlic or spices in her life so it could be interesting, she could go home very hungry! Lol
Off to prepare now, up at 6am on a Sunday, who'd have thought i would get back that energy i had so many years ago?
Another good reason for sticking with it guys!
Yippee, i have lost that 2lb
I really didn't expect it to be today so to say i was shocked is an understatement.
I had geared myself up for it not to be this week to try not to be too upset.
Now here i have to say thanks to Sally and also to Lynne (sp) who is the tandem weigher at class as they have both been absolutely fantastic.
I had to go up the front of not 1 but 2 classes as i stayed on to 'motivate' the next class.
Sally made me feel brilliant and for that i am grateful :o)
No special treats planned tonight and definitely not food 'treats' as they are what got me in this mess in the first place but hubby says he will have to get me something nice now, to be honest if he just has the foresight to go into Asda and buy me a bunch of flowers i would be impressed but i wont hold my breath!
I am so blinkin nervous now, i just wish i could hurry up and get to goal then maybe i could relax!!
So this week i have been out on my bike a lot, i have cycled 60 miles this week, 15 of them in one evening, i have been so hungry too, is it my body telling me i need to eat more of those pesky bonus points i wonder?
Dare i eat them, dare i not eat them incase i am not eating enough, oh my god it's all so confusing!
Chances are if i don't get a good loss this week and spend all next week on my backside doing nothing i will get a good loss(that's happened before)
It's saturday night, WI is on a tuesday and i already have 33.5 bonus points oh and i have gone over my points, granted it's only 2 but i don't know what to do for the best.
Sorry,i am waffling, somebody put me out of my misery NOW!!
