Thursday 26th May
Not been too good today as we went to Frankie & Bennies for lunch.
Breakfast: just a cup of tea
Lunch: potato skins, mushroom pasta & cinnamon waffle & ice cream
Tea: Piece of fruit cake and some peanuts.
Really must get back on plan tomorrow after today off. Cant afford to have to many days like these although if i can still lose this week after today, it proves that you do not have to be good all the time to lose weight. I recon it is the 80/20 rule.

Tuesday 24th - Weigh in day
Determined not to eat too much today before weigh in.
Breakfast: 2 weetabix with a sliced banana
Lunch Jacket pot & tuna mayo.
tea: Slimming world chips, fried egg & beans
Treat: fun size bag of maltesers from Charlie.
Tuna from lunch was cooked on the BBQ on Sunday but I didn't like it so I mashed it up with some low fat mayo and chopped onion and had it on a jacket. Remind me to stick to tinned tuna rather fresh.
2lb off at weigh in tonight. Very pleased as I am still not exercising. Hope I can keep going at this rate until out holiday.

Monday 23rd May
Got up a bit late today and had to take the boys straight to school then go to post office to post my OU assignment so missed breakfast so had to buy a cereal bar in the co-op or wouldn't have made it home. Still off work resting which is great, I feel so relaxed and happy that I never want to go back to work again. ha ha ha. Slightly fed up with myself at my little binge yesterday so going to try and keep busy as I can't do that again before weigh day.
Breakfast: Alpen light bar.
Lunch: Thai noodle Salad at Burford garden centre.
Tea: Chicken, salad & new pots followed by fresh pineapple.
Charlie has given me a pack of maltesers but I am saving them for after weigh in tomorrow night.

Sunday 22 May
Woke up bright & breezy this morning, so glad that I did not drink at the BBQ yesterday. Food diary for today goes like this
Breakfast: 2 weetabix with sliced banana
Lunch: tuna & low fat mayo wrap
Snack: nectarine and packet of snack a jacks
Tea - BBq pork chop with salad & new pots & pint of cider shandy.
Got peckish this afternoon and raided the cupboard. Not sure why I did it as I knew that it was bad but I just had to have something - 2 cherry bakewells and 1 packet of crisps & a packet of maltesers whilst James was swimming. I think I was actually thirsty not hungary so why did I not get a drink???

Saturday 21st May
Food diary again, please that I didn't snack yesterday. Nearly succumbed to a take away but the boys didn't want one so I had the fish instead. Not sure how my weigh in will go without exercising again but will try to be good between now and then.
Breakfast: Muller light and fresh melon & strawberries.
Mid morning: Pear
Lunch: Grilled chicken in a wrap followed by melon & strawberries with a muller.
BBQ tea at friends
Treat: one glass of sparkling wine & a sausage at the BBQ
Very please with myself for being so good at the BBQ. I only had one glass of wine as I said I would drive and drunk diet coke the rest of the night (and not too many of those as they bloat me). Food wise, I picked at the sliced peppers but avoided the dips & crisps. I had one sausage that was probably not good food, the rest was BBQ'ed meat and I even had BBQ prawns which were OK considering I do not like fish - in fact I am going to try to eat more fish so I have got some tuna out of the freezer to try on the BBQ at home tomorrow. - Why had I got Tuna in the freezer when I do not like it and do not know how to cook it!!! - When I started Slimming world again this time, I decided that I must try fish so I was very brave and held my nose and went to the fish counter in Sainsburys and got some - it has been in the freezer since end of Feb - until now!!!

Friday 20th May
Woke up very early today and couldnt get back to sleep so got up for a few hours before going back to bed. Hate it when this happens as I get so tired in the evening then. I have got an open University assignment to do today so hopefully it will keep me occupied so no thoughts of snacking to repel.
Again just a food diary today. Been good this week so far so hope it pays dividends on weigh in day.
Breakfast: Melon covered with a muller light.
Lunch: Ainsley Harriet's spicy cous cous. ( bit of a struggle as I had a late breakfast)
Tea: Poached pollock with new potatoes & green beans followed by fresh strawberries from the allotment.
Snack: packet of sweet chilli rivita bites.

Thursday 19th May
No exercise but feeling better, Still waiting on blood results before I can even contemplate asking the doctor if it is OK to go back to phys.
Breakfast: Sliced melon with Muller light yogurt
Lunch: Out at Harvester - Cajun chicken burget with Jacket pot & salad
Tea: Ham, tomato & cheese omlette followed by melon.
Didnt need much tea after eating out at harvester. Not been there for a while but they have got all of the calories listed on the menu. It really helps when picking what to eat. I would probably not had the cajun burger if the calories were not on there. I was heading towards a combo grill but even though the burger had bread with it, it was still better for me than the ribs & sauce.

Wednesday 18th May
Still no excercise so just a food diary again.
Breakfast: 2 weetabix with hot milk and a sliced banana.
Lunch: Tomato soup from Tuesday followed by a muller light.
Snack: Apple.
Tea: Peppered steak, slimming world chips & baken beans followed by melon.
I nearly succomed to the cake tin. I even put my hand in there but thought No I will have melon instead of Plum cuts it up for me. I then went to the co-op and again nearly succomed to sweets, I even went to the sweet aisle to pick what I wanted but thought about the melon I would have went I got home.
Then later in the evening, I found some malteser easter bunny things, again I nearly succomed but I looked at the calories - 531 for 100g and this bar was 30g, so a quick calculation in my head and I decided I didnt want nearly 200 calories so I get Plum them both. (had it been under 100 calories, I would probably of eaten it)
I was pleased that I resisted temptation 3 times in one day. - Just hope I can do that every day.

Superfree Tomato Soup (makes 4 servings)
2 tins of chopped tomatos
1 tin of carrots - drained
1 tin of baken beans
1 chicken stock cube made up with 1/2pt hot water
1 pickled onion.
Simply put all ingredients into a pan and heat then blend to desired consistence - or if like me, you are lucky enough to have a soup maker, put it all in the jug, whizz and heat.
So quick & simple but delicious. My husband says it is the closest thing to Heinz tomato soup he has ever tasted.
Not sure where this recipe originated from as I found it on facebook.

I'm back
What a start to my new enthused campaign.
After my funny turn at circuits on Wednesday, I went to the docs and he sent me to A&E and I got admitted to the JR in Oxford. Thankfully they ruled out all serious possibilities for the cause of breathlessness & pain but didn't pinpoint what it actually was. I have got an outpatients appointment to go to where they will test me under exertion to find out some more.
Good thing is that I haven't eaten any crap in the 3 days I was in (although I did feel the need for crisps & chocolate as I walked past the hospital shop on discharge.
I have not done any exercise and nor will I until after I have been to the docs on Monday. If he says it is OK to go back to the gym I will give it another go.
Tea tonight is meal for 2 for £10 from Tesco although I will no be having the wine and I got the cheeseboard as a dessert for Plum, so really it is only a main meal.
Will be back on the wagon tomorrow with my food so hopefully post again then.

Weigh in day
Well it was weigh in day today and I put on 1lb. It was totally expected as I haven't really got back into it after having so much time at home over Easter/ bank holidays but I am back focused now.
My menu for today was
Breakfast
2 weetabix with semi skimmed milk
Mid morning snack
Plum & 2 satsumas
Lunch
BBQ chicken Salad (chicken was a hot one from the co-op)
Muller light yogurt
Mid afternoon snack
Apple
Tea
Jamaican jerk chicken with boiled rice.
Today's exercise
Well it didn't go to well today. I went circuits where there was a lot of running involved. After a short while I had difficulty breathing and so went light headed and dizzy. I dropped out and sat sipping water until I felt better which didn't actually take that long although it seemed like a lifetime when I couldn't get my breath. Hopefully it is a one off but if it happens again, I will be off to the docs as it was frightening.

So fat
I meant to type so far... into the title but it came out as so fat - the truth always comes out I guess - so I have left it.
I have been going to slimming world on and off for a few years now. I do well then fall back into my old habits, so I have decided to use a blog as my diary and publish how i do at my weigh ins and also what phys I do in the hope that it will keep me motivated. This time I started at the end of Feb and so far have lost 13 1/2 lbs.
12 weeks til our holiday so aiming for 1 1/2 stone in that time. 21lb in 12 weeks is only just over 1 1/2lb a week which should be easily achievable.
I normally weigh in on a Tuesday night but will be weighing in on Wednesday this week. Just hoping for a maintain tomorrow and then start again proper for the following week.
