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

Well, I can honestly say that i'm in a right foul mood today. I've gone up a few points of the 5lb I was at. Like WTF?! I hardly ate anything yesterday (because I was out and food wasn't an option) and now the scales are telling me i've put weight on.....like how?! FFS! I'm really not impressed right now, if that were the fucking case I could have had that chinese! I'm really upset now, I know its only a couple of points but thats really not the point.

Oh and today I have to go to Asda to buy some ink for my printer because the stupid bloody thing ran out printing the last page of my assignment, how bloody typical is that?! Not only that, but I also have no clean clothes, i've washed them but the dryers were full so they're currently hanging in my room drying so i've got to go to Asda in dirty clothes. Today is not gonna be a good one, i'm already severely pissed off!
 
Thats very true. Thanks m'dear! :)

Today has been a good one, i've had......

A bag of quavers
A banana
A bag of snack a jacks with a packet of weight watchers biscuits and a yogurt
A packet of weight watchers biscuits
A scrambled egg
A yogurt

I know that sounds a lot but the calories don't add up to that much. I think around 1400 at a guess. Exercise has also been done! :)

Lets hope the scales are nicer to me tomorrow than what they were this morning!
 
Well another successful day!

2 weetabix with semi skimmed milk
A packet of snack a jacks, and weight watchers biscuits, a banana and a yogurt
A banana

My exercise has been done :hurray: and for tea I will be heaving either fish with broccoli and carrots or 2 scrambled eggs.

The scales weren't amazing to me today but better than yesterday.....I think I stand a good chance of breaking into the .4 tomorrow, ohhh yes!
 
Well quite honestly i'm pissed off. I've put weight on - so thats 2 nights exercise which by the way may I add that i've stepped it up a notch, and i've eaten healthy and the fucking scales have gone up. I don't care if it's only by .2 points, thats not the point, the point is they've gone up. Usually days after exercise I lose weight, not bloody put something on. Just makes me feel like the past 2 days effort was for nothing.

And the other reason i'm quite angry is that since yesterdays exercise did me no good, I wasted a whole evening exercising when I could of been working on an important assignment due in next week. And so tonight I can't do it, so quite honestly i'm feeling crap about myself because if the scales are going up when I exercise then they're definitely going up when I don't. Sorry for the self pity rant but thats how I feel right now.
 
Ugh it's BULLSHIT. You work out super hard and eat only a little and the scales go up. It's like.. wtf?
Sigh.
But you've still lost so much weight. and it's probably only your muscles retaining water. Don't worry. You rule.
 
Hey!!

*hugs*

Haven't check in for a bit!

It looks like you're doing great Stacey! You resisted the buffet (which, girl, that takes skills and determination!!!), you ARE in the 150's!! *happy dance*

And I know you are seeing a bit of weight gain, but that could be because you're 1) gaining muscle, 2) retaining water, 3) close to TOM, or even 4) just a simple and normal fluctuation!

We're all really hard on ourselves when we put in all the hard work and don't see the scale going down constantly...but you're doing great! Stacey, girlie, you're doing fabulously :)

Keep up the wonderful work!!! And I'm so proud of you! :) :)
 
Aw thank you ladies! I was in such a bad mood this morning ha, i've mellowed out a bit now.

Nice to see you back Jill!! We've all missed you on this forum, keeping an eye out for an update on your diary, I wanna know where on earth you've been hiding, you too judging by your sig are doing very well!! :hurray:

Ohhhh and foodwise what i've had today.......

A bowl of cornflakes with semi skimmed milk
A packet of weight watchers biscuits and snack a jacks
A footlong sub (chicken and lettuce only) with a packet of quavers
A bottle of juice

A successful day I reckon. AND i've spend my day in the library doing work so I might even be able to skip doing some tonight to do a bit of exercise. I'm happy with how today has turned out! :)

EDIT: Well it's currently 12:30AM and i've literally just finished my exercise now. I didn't plan on doing some tonight since I fell asleep and didn't wake up until 8:30 but then when 11:15 rolled around I went into panic mode and thought 'omg I need to do exercise tonight or i'll put weight on' so out came the exercising gear and i've just finished bopping around. Lets hope the scales are a bit nicer to me tomorrow than what they were today! I won't hold my breath though :rofl:

You know earlier today I was fed up and feeling like shit and I though you know what, i'm going to get a take away. I'm going to get a big greasy burger, some chips covered in salt and vinegar and a couple of cans of coke. I just didn't care, then when it came to it, I actually couldn't bring myself to do it, how crazy is that?! It's like the guilt had came completely early and strongly. Usually i'd have a battle in my head, should I get it? or should I not? But it was wierd, I just couldn't do it, no question about it. I kept walking until I was past the shop and headed for subway instead (as mentioned I don't have much in my sub or sauce or anything so fairly healthy). I'm actually quite proud of myself and happy that I resisted because i'm in a much happier mood now. Though it's not my TOM yet, it is next week and I usually get all the grouchiness a week early so i'm glad that I didn't give in this month! :hurray: ......I won't celebrate too early though, i'll celebrate once it's all over, ha!

Well again I feel upset and pissed off. Up again, by another .2 of a lb. I don't care how little it is, it still upsets me. So thats 3 nights exercise a) do no good and b) gone to waste. I feel so shitty! It's not even my TOM so I can't blame that. I hope i'm not going to hit a plateau every couple of pounds down, I can see me getting verrrry angry!
 
I'm finding today quite hard. My cravings are hounding me. My head keeps going 'go on Stacey, go get yourself burger and chips'. And then the other half of me is saying 'no Stacey, this is how you got yourself like this in the first place'.

When I was doing my A-Levels, during exam time I spent most of my time locked away in my room revising, living off take aways. I seen little point in wasting valuable revision time cooking. And here I am again this year trying to get a proper start on this huge essay that needs to be done for friday and the little voices are creeping in again. It doesn't help that I don't have much else in either, so its either take away or fish and veg. Obviously fish and veg is the healthier option, but someone I just don't think i'll be satisfied with it. But then i'm feeling guilty about wanting a burger. Ahhhhh! I hate these little voices, hate them, hate them!!!!!

EDIT: After writing this comment, I marched to the kitchen and forced myself to put some fish in the oven and prepare some vegetables :rofl: so no burger for me tonight! I'm sure the scales will thank me for it in the morning! ........whether or not they go down though is a different matter altogether. I don't think they will because i've done no exercise today, nor will I be doing any.

Today i've had.......

2 yogurts
2 packets of snack a jacks
2 bananas
A portion of cod with broccoli and carrots

So despite a little slip up (but not following through) I reckon its been a successful day.

I'm so completely stressed out at the minute though. I have to write a 3000 word essay by friday. So far I have 150 words. Wow! Ha. Problem is, I don't feel like I know enough about the subject to write about it. So basically i'm just going to waffle my way through the whole lot. Then I have another essay I need to get done for monday, thank god thats only a little one (500 word!). And then monday i'm travelling back home for a couple of weeks for easter. If by some miracle I manage to get the scales to go down this week and get all my work done, then i'm planning to reward myself with a gorgeous chinese on monday night. I know some people say you shouldn't reward yourself with food, but if anything since starting this healthy eating malarky, I try to see take aways as a treat. And if you can't treat yourself for being good and doing your work then when can you? So yeah, monday night is going to be chinese night if I get all of this done. Fingers crossed folks!!!!

Awww Hun I am sosorry you are finding it sooo hard at the minute!!!! I want to say how well you are doing resisting temptation to just binge on aburger!!

I can 100% sympathise with you. I don't have a f**ing clue whatsgoing onwith my scales, it just makes you think whatstge point, why am I exercising so hard and deprieving nyself of food I want when it's doing no good!!!!

But you just have to keep telling your self it is a) regardless of weight putting fish in your body rather Than a burger has a LOT of invisible health impacts on your body b) everyone. who diets goesthrough these stagesyou just have to keep your head down, keepgoing and power through it!!

I hope you are able to do this - I ate my own body weight at a all you van eat buffet with my parents last night!!!! Let me tell you IT WAS SO NOT WORTH IT!!!!

Chin up Hun!! X
 
Aw don't worry about the binge at the buffet hun! We've all been guilty of it at some point, just accept your mistake and move on, try not to dwell on it!

Thanks you for cheering me up!! :)

The scales themselves cheered me up this morning too, they went down :hurray: What i've found helps me to feel better if they don't show results is get the tape measure out. I realised yesterday i've lost another half an inch on my waist so despite my scales being pricks, I was doing something right!

I've realised that the last time my scales wouldn't budge was also at the end of the month in the 20s, now the end of the month is the week before my TOM is due, so i'm thinking maybe it affects me earlier than the actual time itself (because I get the hormones and cravings a week early too), hmmmmm, i'll wait to see the end of April, if it happens again I know i've definitely found the source!

Anyway, they went down today so i'm thinking maybe its over and i'm so so happy that I resisted getting that take away and a bar of chocolate. YAY! *happy dance*
 
Another successful day today!! :)

I've had.......

A bowl of cornflakes
2 chicken sandwiches (4 slices of bread) with quavers and a yogurt
A cup of tea
2 scrambled eggs

I will be doing exercise tonight also. I'm quite happy with today :)

EDIT: Exercise done :hurray:

Well things are definitely improving for me! The scales have gone down by .8 today which is fab AND my waist is measuring to be 32.5-33 inches. Just 3 weeks ago it was 36, so thats awesome! :hurray:

Oh and my bum and thighs (the fullest part) is measuring at 42-43. I think its about time I measured inches and what not! :)

Today has been a good day again! Woo i'm on a roll :p ......despite 1 minor slip up, which i'm not fussed about because quavers only have 88 cals per pack anyway.

Soooo today i've had......

A bowl of cornflakes with semi skimmed milk
3 bags of quavers (oops!) with a yogurt
A cup of tea
2 chicken sandwiches (4 slices of bread) and another packet of quavers. (oops!) I really shouldn't buy quavers, they are the one food that once I start I just can't stop. I love, love, love em!

To be honest, I think this is going to be another week where I don't eat much. With it being mothers day on sunday, i'm a tad bit skint! The good news is, I get paid on monday and i'm going back home sooo i'm sure my Gran will have plenty of food in - i'll kill her if she has a tonne of chocolate in. She's not actually that overweight, maybe by 12lbs or something, but she is crazy about chocolate, if she sees it on special offer she'll buy loads and my self control is tested haha! I am looking forward to being back though. Take a break from my essay writing for a while.....AND this time i'm taking my scales with me, we have carpeted floors there so i'm going to have to stand on a wooden stool to get an accurate reading.......at uni I have to stand on my desk, at home it's the stool :rofl: I really should buy some that you can use on carpet!

I'm not sure if i'll be doing any exercise tonight, i'm busy working on an essay still. I have 700 words, so 2300 to go for friday! *dies* I don't know, maybe i'll be able to spare an hour. We shall seeee!

EDIT: Exercise done *happy dance* though I did do the easier routine because I didn't start until 11PM so I didn't really have the energy to do my harder one. Ahhh well, exercise is exercise! :) ANOTHER successful day!
