My journey to good health....and a hot bod ;)

Back to 155lb :hurray: i'm aiming to be 153lb by next Sunday though I don't think that'll happen, its very rare my body will let me lose 3lb in a week but we'll see. If not, i'm happy with 154lb. So 153/154 for next sunday morning.
 
Well I haven't had the greatest day foodwise. I think the problem is that now i'm not at uni, im sat in the house all day. I need to get out and do things which will keep my mind off food. Some days i'm fine and those days where i'm up early (like 6/7) are days which seem longer and I eat out of boredem.

Today i've had.....

A packet of snack a jacks with a yogurt and weight watchers biscuits (approx 370 cals)
8 hot dogs in 4 slices of bread and a yogurt (approx 746 calories) (YIKES)
9 biscuits (thank god they have a small amount of cals in (15) (so 135 cals)
A cup of tea with 5 sugars (i've ran out of sweetners)

So, so far i've had 1251 calories approx (not including the tea)

Which means i'll have to have something ridiculously light and not fatty for tea. So maybe 2 scrambled eggs. I can't believe how much that hot dog sandwich added up to. I'll defo have to do my exercise tonight!! And I must make a mental note to pick up some sweeteners tomorrow.

I actually ended up having bacon with baked beans and sliced potatoes. I think that will take it up to around 1700 calories. Which isn't too bad really. I usually have between 1200-1800 usually nearer 1400, so I don't mind. I do plan on doing my exercise tonight though :)

It's so hard sitting around and not doing anything when you're dieting. I feel you, girl.
 
Heyy :)

I haven't had the greatest day. I can officially be mistaken for a farmyard animal ......a pig. I've done nothing but eat all day, but I don't feel guilty, its almost my time of the month so i'm used to having this period of time. Here is my hefty and embarrassing list....

A yogurt

A medium McChicken Sandwich meal with strawberry milkshake (I nearly had a fit when I found out how many calories were in the milkshake....650! Surely that can't be right? I'll never buy a McDonalds milkshake again.....EVER!

A cup of tea......with 10 biscuits (15 cals each) I have to try and avoid cups of tea because I can't resist reaching for the biscuit barrel.

A portion of melon.

4 chicken goujans (sp?) with baked beans andddd a yogurt.

Embarrassing right? Yeah. Yet I don't feel guilty at all.....I normally do if I slip up once, yet today has been a total fiasco and I don't feel even the tiniest bit guilty. It would have been ok if I hadn't of had that bloody milkshake. I do need to stop having these slip ups though.

God knows if i'll get round to exercise. I'm busy essay writing atm. I have 600 words so far....I need 2000 by thursday.

Stacey, HI, i never wrote in your diary before but i have a doubt...since you know that you're on diet, WHY go you to Mc Donalds?
Think about it.
You're a thinking girl, you CAN decide not to go to mcdonald. You have the strength to do it, i know that you have it! Find this strenght, because junk food it's like a drug and if you fall again in the tunnel it's very difficult to detoxify everytimes!

I wish you all the best ;)

Well in the past (within this weight loss journey) I have been known to lose more weight after eating a McDonalds than a day spent eating salad. Makes no sense right? I know I can resist if I want to, but I don't eat them on a regular basis so if I fancy one and know I haven't had one in a while, then I will have one. I'm in no rush to lose this weight (I have a goal of August/September) so a blip isn't going to put me off :) this period will pass and I will get back on track. I do everytime :) I have faith. Thanks for your input!!

UPDATE: Well I did start my exercise but gave up after 7 minutes. I literally had no energy to do it. So I gave up. I'm not very well and I feel like crap. Hello extra lb on scale tomorrow but at this point I just don't care. I've been having health problems the past few weeks (which I am dealing with but its taking time) and quite honestly they're starting to get to me, its making me feel like shit and I tend to make myself feel better by eating food I enjoy. I did want to exercise tonight but I ended up starting late because i've been doing my essay (which thank god i'm making progress) and then when I did finally start I realised I had no energy. Sometimes I can battle through anyway but tonight I really just didn't have it in me.

Staceeeey, where are you? I miss you. I hope you're ok. Come back soon. I hope you aren't gone forever.
 
Hey buddy, nah i'm not gone forever, I just needed some space from this site ....I love the support I get, but this week has been a real mess for me, so I feel like a failure whenever I report a slip up, so you know.

I'll be back properly soon. When I get back on track, i'm currently on my own 30 day challenge :)
 
Aw well no body is judging but i know what it's like to fuck up and then have to get away. Like.. in the past ive had a ton of weight loss journals here and every time i fuck up, i stop writing in my journal and start a new one. maybe you could start afresh :)
 
I really don't want to start a fresh, I feel like that would be me starting from the beginning which is a scary thought, haha!

Anyway i'm back because i'm back on track. Today I weighed in at 155lb, which is awesome, so i've repaired the damage i've done. I'm currently on day 2 of my 30 day challenge which is just me creating a set of rules tailored to meet my needs and weaknesses in the hope that i'll abide by them for 30 days which will hopefully lead me to a 8lb loss at the end of it. Fingers crossed! I'm absolutely DYING to get into the 10 stones. I'd be so chuffed to see 10st 13lb.8 on the scales. I just want to get into em, so hopefully that will happen this week!!
 
Breakfast
2 weetabix with semi skimmed milk

Lunch
Pot of noodles
Yogurt

Tea
2 slices of corned beef with cucumber and lettuce
Packet of snack a jacks
A yogurt

Snacks
Melon pot
1 large snack a jack.

I am a tad gutted about the noodles. It was an accident. On the box, in big writing was 100g, so I checked the calories and it said 170-odd, so I got excited and thought no way, so I checked again. Sure enough it said 170-odd. So I went home and cooked them, when they came out the microwave, I checked again, just to be sure and I couldn't believe it, despite it having 100g in giant writing, in the smallest of writing, it said 1/2 pot is 240g portion SERIOUSLY?! So I was a tad pissed at that but i'd already cooked it so saw little point at binning them. Luckily I only bought 2 pots but I won't be buying anymore!

On the bright side, exercise has been done.

Heeeey well done you being back at 155. I can't WAIT to weigh that some day. Your new 30 day plan sounds like a great way to stay on track.

Your menu for today looks yummy. You should feel really pleased :D
 
Thanks dearie! You will get to that weight one day!! It'll look awesome on you, not so much me on me because i'm a tad short! :p


Another lb gone, about bloody time :hurray: the scales are currently showing me 11st, so only 1 more pound to go and I can officially say i'm in the 10 stones :hurray: fingers crossed for sometime this week!
 
Hi Stacy, I've just read back to the post about the strawberry milkshake and wanted to comment on that :D

But since you've got things straight again, I should also congratulate you on sticking with it, not losing heart and coming back.

About the strawberry milkshakes. Yes I am not surprised at the number of calories. I think they make them with soft icecream which is alllllllllllllllllllllllll sugar. But i do'nt know what else they would put in it. Anyhow, even a milkshake made the old fashioned way with a scoop of vanilla, a pint of milk and a scoop of strawberry flavouring would be sinfully high in calories.

But i am such a glutton for strawberry milkshakes. I just love them. But they are no longer on my list of eatable foods. Which is quite challenging some days because around where i live, when i go to town i drive straight past a little food joint that makes the best strawberry milkshakes ever!

But hey, we're changing our eating habits and we can't afford to look back too often, right? :Angel_anim:
 
I can safely say I won't be buying anymore milkshake! I was stunned, I never considered drinks would have so many calories in them. I thought 300 maybe but not 650! Eek.

Yep great news on the scales, its my 30 day challenge, it's helping me stay focused :)
