Jogging and Photo-tracking!

Well it's been ages since I've been on here, what a crazy couple of weeks I've had. The other week I did really well and had great loss of 3.5 lbs almost taking me down into the 11's - then I cocked it up last week by eating everything including dinner out at Table Table, KFC box meal, Massive BBQ and a great big fat cream cake, which all led to a gain of 4.5lbs - I'm gutted.

So I have set myself two goals this week

1. Lose as much of the 4.5lbs as possible

2. Start jogging

I aim to do these by going to the gym and using the treadmill to do a mixture of jogging and walking, taking it gentle as I'm not used to it and slowly starting to work my way up. At the moment I'm doing 3mins jogging followed by 2mins walking - I'm doing this 3 times = 15mins. I've done this the last three times I've been to the gym and apart from a little pain in my hips, I feel that I'm getting on ok. I am also trying photo-tracking this week as I have heard that if you have to photograph your food before you eat it you're more likely to think twice about it. I started on Friday (as I forgot to do it on Thursday lol)

So, here's FRIDAYS pictures:

Breakfast: 3 Weetabix and skimmed milk (4pts)

Costa Latte (1.5pts)

Mid-morning snack: Apple and 1/2 Muller Light Yoghurt (1.5pts)

Lunch: Jacket Potato with Seafood Sticks and Salad (4.5pts)

Afternoon Snack: Weight Watchers Victoria Sponge (1.5pts)

Pre-gym Snack: Weight Watchers Breakfast Bar (2pts)

Dinner: Weight Watchers Sausage and Root Vegetable Mash (5.5pts)

Sugar Free Jelly (0pts)

Total: 20.5 / 20pts

Slightley over by 0.5pts, but earnt 2pts in exercise.

I'll keep you posted on how I get on for the rest of the week

Slimmer of the Week

I won the cup and actually got to take it home, I'm dead chuffed, I've been after it since I first joined - I had a 3.5lb loss this week and it is 100% deserved. I have tried so hard and stuck to the plan really well. I have also managed to include a few treats like a Ben and Jerry's at the Cinema last sunday and two Chinese takeaway meals. I also went out for lunch on Wednesday to Wetherspoons (which has a lot of high-point foods). I had the 5-bean chilli which was absolutely gorgeous.

I have also done loads of exercise - been to the gym twice and done loads and loads of walking. Unfortunately I have lost my points pedometer this week and I'm really missing it, I want to buy a new one but the Pedometer Plus is pretty expensive so I may have to wait until pay day for that. At the moment I am working out my points using the activity slider and hoping for the best.

Saturday is my Nana's 70th Birthday Celebration and we are going out for dinner at Table Table so I am going to have a look at the menu online and work out some points.

Phew ...

Weigh in on Wednesday and I lost 1/2 lb, I was really suprised and relieved that I hadnt put any on after last week. I was really really naughty on Tuesday night after work : I was supposed to go to the gym after work and I accidently went to the chip shop instead. I was supposed to go to the gym tonight as well, but I felt way too tired. I really need to get back into my gym plan before it goes down the pan. I;m back to sticking to the plan like glue and I hope I can do it over the easter weekend. I've asked Jason to get me some flowers or something else, other than an easter egg as I really dont want the temptation ....

I havent purchased any easter eggs yet, think I might be cutting it a bit fine lol, wont really get the opportunity to get any til Saturday for my neice and nephews as I'm going to Leeds to meet up with my friend from Uni who I havent seen for a yr. I really hope she notices how much weight I've lost ..... I love it so much when I see somebody that I havent seen for a long time as they are the ones who really notice the weight loss.

OOPS! FALLEN OFF THE WAGON

It all started so well this week, but I accidently ate a KFC on Saturday, I was wiling to claw back the few points that I went over. Went out for a nice healthy lunch on Sunday ... counted all my points and was dead chuffed, until this big peice of Lemon Cake just fell into my mouth!! It's so annoying when that happens, especially when a big peice of Sticky toffee pudding follows ....

To make matters worse, a really nice guy at work bought me a bar of galaxy as a well done for giving up chocolate for lent, it was gorgeous .....

I'm defintely going to pay for this on Wednesday night on the scales .....

What a week!

Just started my new job this week, which has been absolutely fantastic, very exciting and extremeley exhausting. The people are brilliant and the company seems really good. It looks like I'll be working really really hard for my moneythough. The hours are long and so I've been taking plenty of food and low fat snacks to get me through the days, it's 8.30 - 5.30, which is only about half an hour longer than a normal day but it makes all the difference.
I am having a bit of an issue with the dress-code though, I'm limited to the colours I'm allowed to wear and unfortunately most of my clothes are pink. I've already asked my mum to raid her wardrobe for clothes for me to wear as I dont really want to spend money on clothes that will be too big for me in a few months.

I've had a great week following the plan and lost 2.5lbs on Wednesday at weigh-in, I'm relly pleased with myself as I won the slimmer of the week cup for the first time ever, which I've been wanting to get my hands on since I joined the meeting. My mum has it had it so many times, it's nice to feel like I'm getting something for all my hard work.
