thursday, got into planning
Well today is Thursday, and I am having a SUPER week!!!!
Lots of planning and preparing means I haven't been a single bit hungry, I have had loads of variety, and its bloody brilliant, absolutely loving it.
Last night we went to visit a friend who is waiting for a transplant, and is going through the mill, her partner of 29 years has left her, and she is devastated, so we didn't get in until 10pm,now in the past I would have ended up in maccys or KFC on the way home, or ringing fir a takeaway, instead I got in and cooked, the oher half had grilled lamb chops, I had a pork chop, we had it with roasted peppers,onions,tomatoes and mushrooms and I did a pan of new potatoes, with it being late we only had a couple of potatoes, the rest I put in a roasting tin, with frylite sprinkled with paprika, and today have them mixed with lettuce,spring onion and peppers with 28g grilled halloumi cheese and 2 chopped up rashers of bacon(cooked of course)
So for breakfast I had a change from my usual beans on toast and had a slice of wholemeal toast and 3 rashers of bacon, all the fat removed, (bacon free, toast 3 sins (I slice nimble) then for my 12 o'clock break I had my b choice a bag of Ryvita minis, at 2.30 I will have my lunch, I also have been drinking alot more water, and I think that helped

thirtsy thursday
Well hello Thursday, I am still doing good, went for a carvery for my father in laws birthday last night, lots of lean roast beef, and veggies, I put 3 roasties on my plate but didn't eat them, I had a small Yorkshire pudding instead, id rather have that for my sins, and I didn't have any desert, I didn't need to, I was very full, so it was a good day.
Now today my mind is good, but I rushed out of the house and forgot my lunch, so it will be an adventure in the canteen later to see what's available!!
Upto now I have had 1 slice of wholemeal toast,1 slice of bacon all fat removed, with beans, and a banana. I am hoping a jacket potatoe is available at lunch, fingers crossed, then tonight its chicken and beg stir fry with noodles, yum yum, can't wait!!!!

thursday the 3rd
Well today I woke up and was a tad I'll from last nights Chinese, it didn't agree with me somehow, so I feel a bit iffy today.
Plus I have to go the hospital to have my leg looked at after the dog biting incident, its very sore, and a bit gooey now!!
But diet wise it isn't going to stop me, I may not eat as much today, but I will eat what I should.
To keep me occupied when I want to be naughty I have my slimming world Ferrero rocher,I also found out an old school friend is doing the same diet, so hopefully we can swap hints and tips!!
Will update you later on what I have eaten today.
bye for now xx

wednesday night
So tonight I went to my friend Katys house and a Chinese takeaway was already planned, I chose chicken in a chilli sauce, rice, and salt and pepper chips were ordered so I did have a couple to taste,so I didn't do to bad, no prawn crackers, not a portion of chips to myself etc etc.
So all in all I am happy with that, I saved sins yesterday,some today and some tomorrow so it is covered, did half an hour walk again, and ready for an ace day tomorrow, night night

wednesday,well prepared
Well today I have come to work well prepared,had fruit and Muller yog for breakfast,and I am grazing on a bag of Ryvita minis, chilli flavour,which are surprisingly nice considering I don't like Ryvita.
I also have 3 slimming world Ferrero Rodgers, which I made last night, I think I need to have another go at them as these ones haven't stuck together, but they still taste good.
Tonight I am going to a friends house for Chinese, it was planned last week before I joined class, but I will be good, boiled rice NO chips,and will search the slimming world website for the lowest sin value takeaway possible!!!! But I did save sins yesterday,and I will again tomorrow so I don't have to ruin my first week!
I also have the docs today for a tetanus jab after being bit by next doors dog!!! And its very sore!!!!
But its all still good on the slimming front, I am tempted to weigh myself on my scales at home, but I will wait until class next Monday, I can't wait!!!

this time i will do it
Well, where do i start?
I have tried many diets before, and this time I WILL DO IT!!!!!
There has always been some other reason to not do it, my other half being ill (he has had 2 transplants), work being manic and busy, etc etc, i have tried and failed, this time I will NOT fail!!!!!
I have made it my goal in 2011 to do this, i joined a slimming group the week between xmas and new year, i couldnt stay for the meetings and had no support from the consultant so i decided i needed to join a different one my sister in law Louise (might as well be, we have been with the boys 10 and 8 years but just not got round to marrying them!!!) had recently started a new group not too far from where i live, i always said i fancied going, but dreaded getting on the scales in front of a family member, but in a way it will keep me going, i cannot fail when i have let someone i know see my weight, so i had to bite the bullet and go, i knoew it was the way forward for me, and it would keep me on track.
So last night i joined, bought a countdown and have all the food etc in my cupboards ready to do it, i have a lot to do it for, i want to go in a shop and chose the clothes i want to wear because i like them, not because they fit, i know it will be a long road as i have alot to lose, but i will get there this time, there is something different and i cannot put my finger on what it is, but something is, and i will do this for myself, no one else, for me, so watch this space!!!!!
