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

Well it turns out in a week i'd put on 4lb. OMG! I ruined all that hard work. Stupid me. Though considering how much i've eaten, 2 burgers, chips, chinese, fish and chips, subways....I think I got off lightly with just 4lb. I was expecting it to be about 6 to be honest. So thats a kind of a bright side.

But whatever, I've had take aways galore and i've done what i've needed to do. So i'm getting back on track, though today wasn't perfect either.

Breakfast
A yogurt

Lunch
Noodles (though there wasn't many calories in that packet!)
Yogurt

Tea
2 weetabix with semi skimmed milk

Snacks
A mars bar
And 4 biscuits

Naughty Stacey!!!!

But I will be doing exercise tonight. I'm determined to get back on track. I want to move forward again!!!

Oh and as for the hospital, i've had a flexible sigmoidoscopy (not fun at all!) and they've taken some biopsies, so its going to be a few weeks until I get the results for those!

I expect i've gained about the same as you. It'll fall off as always.
Wtf is flexible sigmoidoscopy??
Hope you're ok. Glad to have you back.
 
I know, but its always disheartening to take a step back isn't it?

A flexi sig is where they put a camera up your butt! Lovely I know!
 
In the circumstances I think you possibly shouldn't be so hard on yourself. I hope these tests can end soon, they sound awful.
 
Thanks Amy! I'm not dwelling on it too much, just trying to get back on track :)

Today would have been a perfect day if I hadn't of had that mars bar. But never mind.

Exercise has been done :hurray:
- WOW warm up and cardio
- 100 squats
- 50 push ups
- 50 crunches
 
I'd love to be able to get out of the habit of weighing myself everyday. As you ladies know, I obsess over numbers. If the scales don't go down when i'm expecting them to, it puts me in a crap mood. So i'd decided to try and kick the habit and pay attention to the changes to my body instead. Even if I weighed myself every 4 days, i'd consider that an achievement because it would be a huge step from everyday.

Usually I wake up around 7, go to the toilet (ha tmi!) and then go downstairs to weigh myself. Its my routine, but now i'm trying to break it so today is the first day i've tried to resist weighing myself, I feel a little anxious but mostly excited because I can't wait to see the weigh in results in a weeks time (or 4 days or whatever) (you see what I mean about obsessing over numbers?) providing the days are successful ones. I'm going to try my best.

Fingers crossed for me, I really want to stop doing it everyday!
 
Well done on trying to break that habit. That's precisely why I weigh myself once a week- I can imagine the numbers becoming an obsession.
 
Thanks :) i'm hoping I can keep it up. It would be awesome to see the scales going down by 2-3 instead of a few points each day.

Today......

Breakfast
2 weetabix with semi skimmed milk

Lunch
A cereal bar

Tea
2 packets of ww biscuits
2 packets of snack a jacks
2 yogurts
A tuna sandwich (2 slices of bread)

(trying to get my calories up)

Exercise done! :hurray:
- WOW warm up and cardio
- 100 squats
- 50 push ups
- 50 crunches

Hello Stacey :waving:

You are doing great with your weight loss. You should be really proud of what you have achieved.

I too was a daily weigher and every morning like you I stood on the scales and felt like shit if they had gone up or even stayed the same. I noticed some days I could lose 2lb and the next day gain a 1lb and at the end of the week have maintained what I was 7 days ago - only to lose 2lb the next week. I was constantly obsessing over every lb, now weigh in is a weekly ritual (every Saturday morning). It was a really hard habit to break, and even now (6 months after the habit breaking) I still sometimes have a sneaky weigh in mid week to check on progress *shame* But the main thing is cutting back and relaxing about those numbers a little (although that is easier said than done and I really should practise what I preach!)
 
I totally hear ya! I too get disappointed if the scales have even stayed the same. It's only been one day and i'm already struggling. I had to talk myself out of stepping on the scales before (I knew i'd be depressed, it was evening, just after my tea and i'd had a lot of water to drink). No doubt i'll struggle tomorrow morning too.
 
So it's 8:30 and 1hr 15mins into my day, and its soooo hard. I'll be ok I think as soon as I get some breakfast down me because I know eating makes the scales go up so I probably won't want to weigh myself after that. I know it might sound daft but i'm quite proud of myself for even resisting 2 mornings. The urges on a morning to weigh myself are so bad, but like I said, I want to kick this habit! Wednesday is weigh day should I successfully get that far!
 
Thanks but I don't deserve it. I caved *bashes head*, and kinda glad I did, i've lost 2lb which is great :D I might just weigh myself every 2 days, then every 3 etc I don't think going for the straight week first off is gonna work.
 
Wish I was at the end of my weight loss journey. There are two blouses i'm loving from Miss Selfridge, they're gorgeous but I promised myself I wouldn't buy any clothes until I finish my weight loss (or at least in desperate need). How pretty are these tops........ I think they'd look lovely with a black mini tube skirt, either with leggings or tights and little ankle boots.
 
Today I would consider to be a successful one.

Breakfast
2 weetabix with semi skimmed milk

Lunch
Weight watchers chicken casserole
Yogurt

Tea
Grilled diced chicken with boiled potatoes and broccoli (yum!)
Yogurt

Snacks
4 ww biscuits
2 biscuits (23 cals each)
A cup of tea

Exercise will be done later I believe.

:)

EDIT: Exercise done :)
- WOW warm up and cardio
- 100 squats
- 50 push ups
- 50 crunches
