Today's very little food diary

Well with not feeling very well today I can honestly say my food today has been quite shitty!

Breakfast = 2 weetabix and milk with banana, tea

lunch = cauliflower and broccoli soup

tea = actifry chips and bbq sauce (2 syns)

not very much but at least I had superfree with my breakfast and dinner I just wish I'd of had a better tea time meal but I didn't have my soup until almost 3.30pm so no wonder I didn't feel like a meal and I'm trying not eat after 6pm at night.

I was advised by my doctor not to eat after 6pm and only to have small meals so it is difficult to do what he says and follow SW as I always make big portions and they tell me I can eat at any point and it doesn't matter. Its so annoying having two different opinions thrown at you.

Tomorrow will be a better day and I will try and plan my daily meals and time them so they are spaced out much better!

Until tomorrow x 

weigh in day and 80 day weight loss challenge

Today has been a good day!

Weigh in today and lost another 2lb which makes me 8.5lb lighter in 4 weeks (Y). So happy this means I got my half stone award at Slimming World but my consultant has ran out of the half stone stickers and certificates and due to the bad weather she hasn't had a delivery, so I'm going to have to wait to get my sticker (boo!)

Saying that the SW website was very encouraging and posted the following to me:

This made me feel so happy and motivated I said I'd go for 3lb next week because I'm only 5.5lb away from my stone award and I want to get it asap!

During the last week I have been using tumblr alot for helping track my weight (follow me at becomingmissslinky.tumblr.com) and also using instagram to keep a picture diary of my weight (@kellylouisemc). Using both of these has been very helpful and I will contiune to use them!

On tumblr I have found this cool thing called the '80 Day Weight Loss Challenge' and I think after every week of filling it in I will post it on here to see it all together week by week rather than individual days on tumblr.

80 Day Weight Loss Challenge

1st week

1.    Write your current stats: height, current weight and goal weight. Why are you losing weight? 23/1/13

Height = 5ft 3in

Current weight = 195lb (13st 9lb)

1GW = 180lb (12st 9lb)

2GW = 165lb (11st 7lb)

3GW = 150lb (10st 7lb)

GW = 139lb (9st 9lb)

UGW = 135lb (9st 6lb)

I want to lose weight for myself and for my health. I want to look good in pictures and not shy away from the camera! I want to be proud of who I am and where I have been and where I am heading to!

2. Describe your dream/goal body. 24/1/13

My dream body is Kim Kardashian's body!

I know I don't have big enough boobs to be like her perfectly but I think she looks hot and clearly works hard to keep her body in such great shape!



I can't wait till I have killer body like that!

I feel she is still curvy even though she is toned and slim which is what I want to be, but I know I need to work very very very hard to get that body shape!

3.    Is your UGW in an “unhealthy” range of BMI? 25/1/13

My UGW is 135lb (9st 6lb) so for my height this would give me a BMI of 22.9 which is in the healthy range!

According to the BMI chart I could go down to 7st 9lb before I class as being in the unhealthy range but I won’t go that far! I think I would look too ill.

My lowest weight has been 9st 13lb and this was about 3 years ago and I would like to get back to around this weight as this was where I looked my healthiest!

4.    Have a vegan day today. No meat, no eggs, no dairy, no animal products whatsoever. Give it a try! 26/1/13

I Couldn’t do it! :(  sorry to all vegans out there! How can they live off such little variation of food?!

5.    What is your favorite healthy food? 27/1/13

fruit - so much variety! and it's yummy

6.    What is your favorite unhealthy food? 28/1/13

Pizza or Chinese take away

7.    What is your least favorite healthy food? 29/1/13

Sprouts! Ewwwwww

So that is this weeks 80DWLC be updated next week!

Today's menu is:

Breakfast: 2 hifi lights and a banana. Coffee (HEx A milk)

Lunch: Apple, low fat supernoodles. Tea (HEx A milk)

Tea: Venison meatballs in passata with mushrooms and pasta

Snacks/syns: jelly/yogurt 0.5 syns, hot chocolate 2 syns, venison meatballs 12 syns.

Things are looking up

So lately nothing seems to have been going right in my life, except for my weight losses.

I feel so greatful for finally being able to lose me weight it has given me so much confidence even though I'm only 7lb or so down and this is showing in all aspects of my life.

I have gained a lot more confidence now and I am not as down and depressed as I was especially since me and my partner split up in September. Since then I feel like I've been on a downward spiral  Firstly I was wondering if it was my excess weight which made him leave or my constant questioning of where he was. I am still unsure but I found it hard to talk to other new potential partners, although there is one I've been seeing for a while now but it's nothing serious just fun but today I started talking to an old ex of mine who I haven't spoken to in years and we only went out for a few weeks. I feel like I can be more confident in speaking to him than I ever have done and I think it is all down to the weight loss.

Weigh in tomorrow and I cannot wait. I'm going early to help set up and do double weigh in as our class is so busy (75+ members in one session!). I will obviously post tomorrow what I lose but I'm defo looking for at least 1/2lb loss as this is all I need to get my half a stone award and I am sooooooo looking forward to getting this sticker and award it is the quickest I have ever gotten an award - 3 weeks!

Anyways I feel like this is going to be a good week, my scales are showing a loss which is always a good sign as they are near enough bang on with slimming worlds scales. I know I shouldn't weigh myself but I can't help it, it makes me less shocked for weigh in so I don't cry

Really excited about tomorrow!

Not so good a day

So today's food has not been great but then again I have felt like crap most of the day due to my recent illness and spent most of the day in bed sleeping which although I know sleeping is good for losing weight I don't think having 20+ hours is healthy for me but I guess it's the only way I am going to get better.

Breakfast: 2 hi fi lights and an apple. Water

Lunch: cheese on 1 slice brown bread (3 syns)

Tea: hot pot with mushy peas and carrots

Syns: biscuit 3.5, mikado 0.5, bread 3

Total: 7 syns

Not much super free today but then again I have been ill today tomorrow i am golf to add loads of super free in hopefully having a Tuna and cottage cheese salad will help add my super free in and maybe make some soup ( I have parsnips to use up so I may make parsnip soup but I've never tried it before but I may look in my little book of soups for inspiration )

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day

Xx

Just a quick blog tonight

As I'm not feeling 100% this blog will be short and sweet!

Today I have eaten very well even for my standards!

Breakfast: hi-fi bar, apple and green tea.

Lunch: BNS soup and a toffee muller light then for a snack I had new Special K cracker crisps 

21 crisps = 4.5 syns and they were yummy! I would tell anyone to try them!

Tea:stewing steak with carrots and new potatoes and mushy peas

Snack: highlights hot chocolate 2 syns

Total syns for today is 6.5 - very good!!

Weigh In Wednesday and Syns

Well another 2.5lb gone - was hoping for the extra half so I could have gotten my stone award but now it is in my sights and I will not allow it to slip away! Next week I will have a shiny new award and sticker - my first! I will be so proud! <3

Today we had an open weigh in and we didn't do the PDA stuff we just talked about recipes and how we felt and I was first up and I felt amazing to say the least! This is the quickest I have ever lost weight with Slimming World especially with being in the hospital, normally I put on while I am in there because of their crappy food but clearly I've been making healthy choices and my other days in the week when I was at home must of been great to help compensate for the shit I was getting in there!

Today's class made me think about Syns and this is because 2 women were feeling let down by themselves as they had been so good and maintained. One wishes she'd ate her chicken skin and one wishes she'd gone and had a pub meal and drank because her 'friend' maintained and then mocked her by saying 'should have come out with me'. To me that is no friend and she should have been more supportive you can see the woman was clearly upset by this but we all tried to reassure her it was OK.

So then I thought about my syns and realized how important they were to this diet. Synergy is where two things come together to make something great and our syns are there to use on un-healthier foods so that we have a nice balanced diet! So I was thinking what if I chose one type of syn a day/week to stick to, that way I'm changing up my routine and my body doesn't get used to the same syns.

Last week it was all about sausages as I had 4 of them over the week all at 3 syns each. This week I feel is a chocolate week. Today I used my syns to have a highlights hot chocolate (2 syns) with my A choice milk that was left over and 6 mikado sticks Dime flavor (3 syns) so that was my chocolate fix with only spending  5 syns. I know I could have had more but I felt full. I might do the same tomorrow or maybe have a kitkat (5.5 syns) the choices are endless.

I enjoy having my syns it makes me feel like I having naughty things on my diet when really they are a part of this diet which helps you to lose weight! When they stop working I will stop using them until then however I am going to say it loud and proud:

I LOVE MY SYNS!

It's a day late but here goes... Creme Eggs...

Yesterday my friend came round and brought me a 'care package' because I had been so poorly recently.

She bought me flowers, a teddy, dvds, magazines, a book and some pain killers I was very impressed as I assumed she would have brought me a box of chocolates which would have been like torture to look at and I would have eaten them straight away.

She said its because she didn't think I could still eat which is why she didn't bring anything round but then, then it happened. She pulled out a dreaded Cadbury's Creme Egg... the horror!

As to not feel rude I did eat the creme egg thinking the syns might not be too bad as I had already had 2 jaffa cakes and 3 marshmallows before she arrived then I looked up the syns and I could have cried! 9 syns for a stupid little egg! I was so disappointed and I didn't even enjoy it, urgh never again, next time I'm just going to kindly decline and keep it for later when I've had less/no syns!

Easter is a bad time of year for any slimmer but I am hoping to learn to say no to offers of chocolate.

I'll write my next blog tonight as this is a double dose because I missed writing this post yesterday.
