Day 3

I forget the days and don't have time to check it... it's 2pm, and I've just had lunch, so I've not had lunch at 11.30 (I had a class). Today has been better, I was so happy yesterday evening and it really helps with weight!! Weighed 127.2 this morning so it's not as bad as I'd feared so far. As you can tell, the "not weighing self every day" is going SO well.

Today, porridge (150), soya caramel macchiato (150), salad (260), so 560. I'm hoping to remain under 1000 today. Yesterday I managed about 1200, as there were frosted cupcakes at the event I went to, and I ended up just eating frosting off about 4 cupcakes. I do love M&S sushi, although they've got a lot of healthy food, which I approve very much of.

Still got no laptop. FAIL.

This weekend may be a fail as I'm off away to a friend's bday. Hopefully getting my dance on though.

Failing?

I feel like I'm failing

My laptop is broken, so no blogging. Work is busy - I'm studying a lot, which leads to hunger.

Today - porridge (150), salad (150), chocolate (400 probs), cappucino (70). 770 is huge before a dinner, what am I doing? At least when I bake, I give out to lots of people.

I guess this is why I managed to gain like 4 lbs in 4 days - admittedly this was an evening weight after eating my ass in baking.

I must get back on the horse. When I have no money (so, er, now then), I won't be able to buy food (like mid-afternoon chocolate). And if I drink fizzy drinks (soda water and lime! Diet Coke!!) throughout my "dinner" time, I don't get hungry.

The mad thing is that when I do get hungry, it's not for anything in particular. There's no food that I really want, there's nothing really. Food is fuel (love that frame of mind). If I can just stay here, I'll be happy. It's been about 2 weeks like this.

Plan for the rest of the day = sushi from M&S. I can get a low cal small one. I wouldn't eat but I'm eating with a friend.


I do not expect to see a loss this week. I will have to weigh on Saturday as I'm away for the weekend. I will probably not even be the weight I was this time last week. Oh 126, please be mine.

Re-start. Day 1

SO Bank Holiday weekend in the UK was a bit of a write off. Whilst I didn't eat meals on Sunday, I did make A LOT of cake. LOTS. With a friend. Which involved sampling. Luckily, I started feeling sick part way through, so I couldn't eat any more. I also ate about 500g of butternut squash, which I know isn't high in cals (partic roasted with FryLite oil) - is about 200 cals, but it's still bulk and I still FELT big. Ugh.

So re-starting. Back on the VB diet where possible. new aims - do not eat more than 2 bowls of porridge in a row. Do not add honey to porridge. Try to do some exercise which isn't just walking. *sigh*. It's my own fault for weighing in last night, when the scales read 130.8. WTF? 4lbs in a day and a half? Crazy. Maybe it's water weight, I do drink a lot.
