I can't believe how quickly they've gone - I don't really feel rested and I've got a very busy day ahead of me too!
So, food wise the past two days have been OK. Friday I was really good and I did over 90 minutes on the wii fit plus some time doing Just Dance. Yesterday I did a 2 mile jog again, with less walking breaks than before and in 23 minutes, beating my previous time of 25 minutes plus I did some more time on Just Dance. I also then went shopping with my Mum which involved a lot of walking around. Yesterday I had 24.5 points because of dinner but I enjoyed it and I think I needed it so I'm not worried.
My plan of food for today:
Breakfast - Half a galia melon, oat so simple with skimmed milk - 4 points
Lunch - Snap pot of beans on roll - 5 points
Dinner - Roast chicken, dry roasted potatoes, roast vegetables with gravy - 5.5 points
Snacks - Unsure yet...
Total - 14.5 points, with another 2.5 for snacks
Also aiming to do an hour on the wii fit and half an hour on Just Dance but I have a BUSY day ahead as I said so not sure if I'll have time!
My to do list today:
1) Take my poor cat to the vets :( (he's crying like he's in pain whenever he's picked up). DONE & he's fine :))).
2) Prepare the rest of the invitations. DONE some, will do the rest as the week goes on.
3) Finish reports. DONE.
4) Prepare some more resources.
5) New seating plans
6) Star charts and reward cards
7) IRONING!!!
8) Exercise
A nice long list there, won't be bored lol!
Right, ten positive things:
1) I had a lovely day with my Mum yesterday.
2) We had a lovely evening with her and her partner.
3) I've just had half a galia melon for breakfast.
4) I beat my PB jogging yesterday!
5) I got my flower girl a BEAUTIFUL dress for our wedding yesterday!
6) I got all of the bridesmaids ivory bags to go with their shoes and flowers :).
7) I had 24.5 points yesterday which is actually only 7.5 over for the day but I did a lot of walking and exercise so it should be OK!
8) I got some nice shoes yesterday which are like slippers lol, comfortable for walking around work :)
9) I also got a gorgeous dress too.
10) We're taking Snowy to the vets so he will be fine.
Right, I'd better get dressed...
Au revoir!

Mmm, maybe I haven't learnt my lesson...
Morning all,
I don't think I have learnt my lesson about the scales. I have still been weighing daily and it's soooo destructive, I have to stop! The scales on the morning of when I went to WI and lost 6lbs showed me at 9st 3.5lbs. The scales showed me at 9st 4lbs on the day I went to WI and lost 0.5lbs. The scales are still hovering between 9st 3.5lbs and 9st 4lbs and I have no idea why because I am being really good!!!
I have been drinking more water.
I have been having my 5 a day every day.
I have stopped eating fruit after dinner and have been eating more throughout the day and in fact, less fruit and more vegetables, so therefore less sugar.
I'm getting demotivated but I really don't want to give up because I'm sure I can see a difference physically, I just can't see it on the scales :(.
Anyway, I'm not in the mood to do the positive things today - not sure why but just don't feel up to it. I may edit this post later to do so.
Food for today:
Breakfast - Oat so simple golden syrup with skimmed milk and a small banana - 4 points
Lunch - Beans on a toasted roll - 5 points
Dinner - Chicken stuffed with Phildelphia light garlic and herb with ham wrapped round, with mushrooms and butternut squash - 4 points
Snacks - half a galia melon, hot chocolate, WW triple chocolate bar - 3 points
Total - 16 points
Exercise - wii fit
To do today:
1) Finish preparing all resources for Monday. DONE
2) Plan the rest of the week's lessons.
3) Do reports.
4) Do at least an hour on the wii fit.
5) Tidy up generally.
I'll be back later - au revoir!

I'm polishing my halo this morning...
Morning all!
Well, I had a fabulous day yesterday! Food wise anyway! Poor Phil had to go to the hospital for a blood test :( but he's OK, he's got bad stomach pains though.
Well, I went jogging and did the wii fit so exercise wise I did really well, cos I did 90 minutes in total plus about 20 minutes walking. All for 3 points though...
Anyway, I managed to stick to my fruit earlier in the day so my food went something like this:
Breakfast - Porridge and banana
Snack - Strawberries
Lunch - Beans on toast
Snack - Dried fruit mix
Snack - WW cereal bar
Dinner - out at Pizza Express
So when I got to Pizza Express, I was torn between the Pollo Verdure which I've never had actually, but which sounds very nice, or the margerita pizza leggera. The waiter recommended the pizza, which is what I had planned.
Anyway, my friends ordered a starter which I didn't!!! I really fancied garlic bread but I decided not to. Then I ordered water instead of diet Coke as I usually would, so all in all drank about 1.5l of water yesterday!! :) Then I had my pizza which was delicious!!!!!!! It was SO nice, the salad was lovely, except I have definitely decided I don't like rocket, but apart from that it was gorgeous! I then resisted dessert and had a cup of tea instead!
I was allowed 17 points yesterday and gained 3 through exercise and in total I had 19, so I ate 2 of my exercise points but that's fine. I am really proud of myself because in the past, I would easily have eaten other things, but I am showing tremendous willpower at the moment - fingers crossed it carries on...
OK, so, ten positive things:
1) Phil got on fine with his blood test - not like me as I faint!!
2) I did lots of exercise yesterday.
3) I had my F & V throughout the day, not all in a rush like usual.
4) I drank 1.5l of water.
5) It was really lovely to catch up with my friends last night.
6) I really enjoyed my dinner!
7) I resisted many naughty things :)
8) I got home before 11.
9) I wasn't too tired.
10) I read a lot of my book on the trains.
I won't bother with a list of things to do as I'm going out.
Food plan:
Breakfast - 1 slice of toast with marmite, 1 small banana - 3 points
Lunch - Unsure at the moment cos I'm going to my sister-in-law's
Dinner - I fancy a curry so probably a vegetable curry with new potatoes, mushrooms, onions, possibly carrots... I'm not sure yet, I may have an omelette instead with some butternut squash chips or something else. Who knows??
I shall see!!
Got lots of fruit for snacks too.
Right, I have to finish getting ready! Au revoir!

Lesson learnt!
Morning all!
Well, I went to WW last night and I lost 0.5lbs! So my scales at home must be inaccurate! Have I learnt my lesson? Yes!
The leader said 'Come on' when I'd only lost 0.5lbs (but actually the scales were sort of flickering towards a lb too so we'll see) but I explained that I had been really good. We looked at my food diary and I think it's because I've been eating fruit after my dinner, even when I'm not hungry because I'm trying to make up my 5 portions of F & V a day. Apparently fruit after a meal ferments in the stomach and makes you bloated, so that is probably why! Also, I haven't been drinking anywhere near enough water which definitely doesn't help. So all in all, we know why and we know how to move forward!
My leader wants me to lose 2lbs this week - I'll try my best because I would love that but I'm not sure I can lose 2lbs...we'll see!
So my targets for the week ahead:
1) Don't weigh myself at all - I didn't weigh this morning!
2) Eat fruit throughout the day, not after dinner.
3) Drink 2l of water per day.
4) Try to lose 2lbs!
My food plan for the day is:
Breakfast - Oat so simple with skimmed milk and a small banana - 4 points
Lunch - Snap pot of baked beans on toast - 4 points
Dinner - Pizza Express Margerita Leggera - 7.5 points
Snacks - 2 plums, strawberries - 1 point
Total - 16.5 points
5 portions of F & V - banana, beans, salad (comes with the pizza), plums, stawberries
Exercise - 90 minutes on the wii fit, some walking/a jog possibly.
Right, I have to run but I will try to update later!
Au revoir!
EDIT: Back after some breakfast - it was yummy! Plus a jog with a few walking breaks. I did 2 miles in 25 minutes but have no idea how good/bad that is!
Anyway, ten positive things for today:
1) I survived my 2 mile jog!! :)
2) Someone has just said that 2 miles in 25 minutes is good!
3) I lost 0.5lbs at WI last night.
4) I was able to say I hadn't given up and I had tried really hard and that although I hadn't lost more, it wasn't my own fault.
5) However I may have figured out why I only lost half a lb now!
6) I had a lovely day with work friends yesterday!
7) We went to one of their houses for lunch and she made WW chicken burgers because she knows I'm doing WW - I thought that was very, very considerate!
8) I'm about to do some exercise on the wii fit.
9) I'm making heart shaped cheesecakes this afternoon - dread to think what the points value is, but we shall see...
10) I'm seeing uni friends tonight.
11) My Mum's coming down on Saturday with her partner and she's going to help us finish the wedding invitations - two hitches mean they're still not done!
12) The sun is shining!
13) The cats are loving the sunshine!
14) Some of my plans have been altered for the week which means I have more time to do a bit of ironing and work and catch up with a few things.
15) I've planned a healthy meal at Pizza Express tonight which doesn't take me over my points :)
To do today:
1) Phone Mum to tell her about the invitation inserts. DONE
2) Go for a jog. DONE
3) Go on the wii fit.
4) Make heart shaped cheesecakes.
5) Phone my sister in law.
Right, now for the wii fit with a bit of Lady Gaga to listen to!
Au revoir...again!

Those pesky scales again!
ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
The scales are showing a half a lb gain again! In fact this morning on three different WIs (God, I sound obsessed!), I went from having put on 7/8 of a lb, almost 2lbs and then the half a lb. But I have heard with the scales that I've got, that they need warming up.
I'm getting really stressed in any case cos I know I've been really good this week and it seems as if every diet class I join, the same thing happens. I stick to it and then a couple of weeks into it, I put on weight for no reason or because I've gone over my points/syns/whatever. I only have to contemplate a piece of cake and a lb goes on my hips! (Well, not literally but you know...)
I'm getting stressed though cos there's exactly 18 weeks to go until the wedding (!!!!) and I still want to lose 12.5lbs! Realistically that's enough time but I want to be nearer there by the beginning of June for my dress fitting.
I'm also stressing because I'm worried Phil won't like my wedding dress. I think it's stunning and so does my and his Mum but I'm just worried.
God I'm a worrier???
Anyway, ten positive things:
1) We did our gift list at Debenhams yesterday and it was SOOOO much fun!!! We've picked out a beautiful dinner set and a beautiful duvet set and everything. I could get used to that kind of lifestyle lol.
2) We saw a lovely florist and we like the flowers we saw.
3) I did an hour on the wii fit yesterday.
4) I'm taking a break from it today though.
5) We're supposed to be having a BBQ today - the weather's not great though so not sure now.
6) My best friend/maid of honour has come up with a brilliant idea for my hen night - during the day, we might be shooting a pop video which I then get to keep, how wicked is that?!
7) I had a lovely WW pizza last night with some extra roasted vegetables - was very yummy.
8) I did some of my dances on Just Dance last night - so much fun!
9) I resisted buying new clothes yesterday.
10) We're finishing our wedding invitations today!
Things to do:
1) Go to church.
2) Do the wedding invitations.
3) Buy my friend a birthday present - didn't get one yesterday.
4) Help Phil prepare the BBQ/dinner.
5) Email Mum a list of the people who I need addresses for to send wedding invitations to.
Points yesterday were 19.5, but I allowed myself 19 anyway as I was on my feet all day and then I did 4.5 worth of exercise.
I had cereal with skimmed milk for breakfast, 2 low fat rolls for lunch and a packet of French Fries crisps, WW pizza with roasted vegetables for dinner, strawberries and raspberries for dessert and a small chocolate treat.
Today we're supposed to be having a BBQ so we're going to have chicken, low fat sausages and some other meat, I'm going to make vegetable kebabs and new potatoes too.
Off to have some porridge now! Au revoir!

Scales and how they get on my nerves!
Scales really wind me up! They predict how I feel and I really don't like that. I was ecstatic last week when the scales showed a 6lb loss, I was really happy! Now, 5 days on, the scales are showing a tiny tiny gain but it's REALLY bugging me because I have been so good this week! After weighing myself about 6 times this morning, they eventually went from showing a quarter of a lb gain to a half a lb loss. I shouldn't really even be weighing myself cos I get officially weighed at WW on Monday night. ARGH! My scales at home are even WW ones! I even feel slimmer too :(.
I need to think logically about this though cos if I don't, then I will probably throw the towel in, as in the past.
* I could be slightly heavier due to the exercise I've been doing.
* I'm not drinking enough water.
* I have been having trouble going to the toilet - sorry if that's too much information! I have taken something for this now though so it should be fine.
* I haven't been eating all of my points so maybe my body is in starvation mode?
* Losing 6lbs in a week is quite a lot for someone of my size in any case - it's a 1/3 of the weight I want to lose, so maybe my body is trying to balance things out.
Well, I have to say, writing those things down has actually really helped - seeing, in black and white, reasons why the scales may not be budging has helped me to stay focused.
Anyway, I had a lovely day yesterday! I saw my best friend and her little girl and we bought bridesmaid shoes - I ended up buying 9 pairs and will need to return 5 - long story. But I have got them shoes one way or another. We went for lunch and generally caught up too, it was lovely :). I'm seeing her again on Wednesday and we're going to the beach and we're going to have a picnic! I'm going to make a buttons cheesecake, yum yum - I dread to think how many points are going to be in it lol, but I'm going to have a bit and I'm going to earn it through walking, etc.
I now don't have a free day next week!!! Monday I'm seeing friends from work. Tuesday I'm either seeing a friend/my sister in law. Wednesday I'm seeing my best friend. Thursday either my friend/sister in law. Friday I think I'm going for lunch with my other sister in law. How and where am I going to fit in the work I have to do?!?!?! I'm gonna have to be very organised. Including with my food too. Monday I'll just have to be very careful with what I eat because I've got my class Monday night. Then we're going to a quiz night. Tuesday and Thursday shouldn't be too bad because my sister in law is doing WW too. Wednesday's picnic can be easily pointed in any case... I'll get some new potatoes, some WW crisps and cakes, fruit, meat. Friday's lunch with involve alcohol I'd have thought so I'll have to see about that one!
Anyway, five things to do today:
1) Do an hour on the wii fit.
2) Get a friend a birthday present.
3) Go to Debenham's to sort out our wedding gift list.
4) Go to the florists to get a quote for wedding flowers.
5) Do some ironing - this is a must!
Ten positive things:
1) I had a lovely day yesterday.
2) I've got the bridesmaids shoes.
3) They were in the sale :).
4) I had a nice, albeit small, dinner last night.
5) I'm having a nice cup of tea.
6) I'm about to go on the wii.
7) It's a bright sunny day.
8) I've planned to have a WW pizza for dinner, yum!
9) I've thought out the reasons why the scales may not be playing fair.
10) I feel much better for doing this!
OK, my food plan for today is:
Breakfast - Oat so simple with milk - 3 points
Lunch - an M & S sandwich or something as we'll be out and about - 5 points?
Dinner - a WW pizza with added vegetables - 6 points?
Snacks - Fruit, fromage frais
Not a secure plan for some sort of plan in any case!
Right, I'm off. Au revoir!

I'll get some new potatoes, some WW crisps and cakes, fruit, meat. Friday's lunch with involve alcohol I'd have thought so I'll have to see about that one!
Anyway, five things to do today:
1) Do an hour on the wii fit.
2) Get a friend a birthday present.
3) Go to Debenham's to sort out our wedding gift list.
4) Go to the florists to get a quote for wedding flowers.
5) Do some ironing - this is a must!
Ten positive things:
1) I had a lovely day yesterday.
2) I've got the bridesmaids shoes.
3) They were in the sale :).
4) I had a nice, albeit small, dinner last night.
5) I'm having a nice cup of tea.
6) I'm about to go on the wii.
7) It's a bright sunny day.
8) I've planned to have a WW pizza for dinner, yum!
9) I've thought out the reasons why the scales may not be playing fair.
10) I feel much better for doing this!
OK, my food plan for today is:
Breakfast - Oat so simple with milk - 3 points
Lunch - an M & S sandwich or something as we'll be out and about - 5 points?
Dinner - a WW pizza with added vegetables - 6 points?
Snacks - Fruit, fromage frais
Not a secure plan for some sort of plan in any case!
Right, I'm off. Au revoir!

Ugh :(
I feel sick. I feel a biy funny in general, tingly and not quite right. Think it's cos I was really hungry and then I had to get on a bus and think it's just generally cos of that but I feel icky.
Finally managed to get an important job done today and managed to plan all of my lessons for the first day back because I ended up going to work today and not going for lunch with my friend. Did meet my Mum and sister though which was lovely!
Just a short one today and with no list of things to do.
Ten positive things:
1) I haven't been sick although I feel it.
2) I'm not going to do anything tonight, just relax.
3) I enjoyed lunch with my Mum and sister.
4) I got a very important job done.
5) I bought a nice pair of flats in the Faith sale.
6) I'm seeing my best friend and her little girl tomorrow.
7) I enjoyed playing on Just Dance last night.
8) I jogged non stop for ten minutes on the wii fit last night.
9) My Mum is doing lots of beautiful things for our wedding :).
10) I spoke to my older sister via text this morning.
Food wise:
Breakfast: A WW cereal bar - 1.5 points
Lunch: Scrambled egg on toast in a cafe - 9 points
Dinner: Pasta, mushrooms and onions in a tomato sauce - 3 points
Snacks: Special K Mini Breaks, raspberries - 2.5 points
Exercise: 40 minutes walking
Total: 16 points
Right I'm off to hopefully feel a bit better...
Au revoir!
