Friday night thoughts II

So, WW hasn't been going at all well just now. I'm feeling really negative and can't shake it. I've been okay this week, but not great. Stuck to my normal meals but I've had to the odd extra thing here and there, and haven't tracked at all. The good news is I've been to the gym twice. The bad news is I planned to go three times.

I've no idea what will happen tomorrow. I've kinda done Discover plan, kinda done ProPoints, kinda not bothered, so really the scales could say anything. I've also lost my Weigh In card. No fricking idea where it is.

The final straw is I just looked out of the window and there's a good covering of snow over everything (I hate snow) and that scuppers my plans to wear my leggings (eg lightest trousers, and what I wore last week) to get weighed as I've no "snow friendly" boots I can wear with them. Oh le sigh. Hopefully I'll feel more positive next week. I've no idea whats happened but I've completely lost my mojo.

24 ta life....

I've been on WW now for 24 weeks and I can easily say this is the worst week I've had "on plan". The reason I'm putting "on plan" in speech marks is because I can't actually say I've been on plan this week. In fact, I have most definitely been off plan this week and kidding myself that I have been anything else.

I don't know what the problem has been this week. Saturdays, I always have a points free day. I eat what I like and I don't worry about it. Especially now as I've found that what I eat has drastically reduced in size from what I ate before. But I think it all kicked off this Saturday.

I went out for lunch as normal, and left most of my lunch because I was just so full. I can't remember what I ate for dinner, but I drank that night and had some "munchies" a;ong with it.

Sunday I was lying in bed thinking "I could really go something tasty and stodgy for breakfast...toast with loads of butter, roll on sausage...all washed down with a delicious capuccinno" and just then my friend texted me to see if I wanted to go out for lunch (yes, I was still in bed at lunchtime). I wasn't going to go, but the lure of the capuccinno was too much so I quickly jumped out of bed, showered and got ready to go out. I knew where we were going and my pre-WW usual there was a massive cheese toastie with vegetable soup. I'll just get the vegetable soup I told myself. Vegetable soup and a capuccinno. Or toast and a capuccinno. But when I got there I ordered my old faithful - the huge cheese toastie, with the soup. And when they brought the soup they brough an additional extra that I never used to get - crusty bread with real butter. I wasn't going to eat it. But I did.

I went the rest of Sunday not having much, but then decided to have a drink at night. I can't remember (not coz I was drunk but coz I wasn't counting points) if I had anything to munch with it.

From there on in the week has just spiralled - chocolate biscuits, rolls on sausage, full fat crisps, burgers, cheese. It's all just gone wrong. I can't believe I've let myself do this. I don't know why I did it. And it's pissing me off that I did do it!

I'm sure this week of overindulgence will lead to a gain on the scales tomorrow, and I have no one to blame but myself. I just hope its not too much, but as I sit here with two (yes, TWO) burgers and a lemon sweetie bar in my belly, I'm not holding out much hope.

We'll see how I get on in ten hours.

Quick post

Well all this week I have really, really struggled staying on plan. Last Saturday I deliberately rammed a shitload of fatty, unhealthy food down my throat even though I didn't really want it, and the rest of the week was no different. I've generally been crabby, work has been crap, I was fed up, I didn't track, I've not been to the gym and even though I tried to stay on plan but when it came to it, I don't know how many days I did. It's the first week I've really thought to myself "what's the point?".

When I went to WI this morning I was fed up. I was expecting to STS or even have put on. I got there late so I had to wait ages to get weighed. I was getting more and more pissed off standing in the queue and going over in my head why I was doing this and what I am trying to achieve, but generally just reiterating to myself that I didn't see the point. So finally (30 minutes later) it was my turn to get weighed and you can imagine my surprise when I dropped 3lbs! I honestly couldn't believe it. I was 1lb away from hitting my 2 stone off, and didn't expect to do it, and there I was - over it! 30lbs down. 30lbs!! Not only is that now 2 stone off it's also 15% off!

It was just the little boost I needed. Now I see why I am doing this. And I will remember the feeling when she told me I had dropped 3lbs this week. And that will spur me on through difficult weeks in the future

Weigh in tonight

This week I am weighing in early, as I can't make my normal weigh in on Sat. I wonder how this will work. I never weigh myself at home (I feel like I am the only person that does this, but I have no interest in the day to day number!) so don't know what my weight fluctuations are midweek. This will be interesting for me!

Tomorrow, tomorrow

I weigh in, tomorrow. You're only a day away....

I'm really not sure how I am going to get on at weigh in tomorrow. I've been bad this week - I've barely tracked (have tried to keep note of my points in my head), and in truth I know I've gone over by a few points most days. For some reason I've found it really hard this week. I've not been feeling great and most days I've woken up feeling sick, skipped breakfast and just had coffee. Stuck to my normal lunch, but then overcompensated at dinner. Probably all the bloody food lying in my stomach overnight is what's making me feel icky in the morning!

So I guess I'll just need to see how I get on. 23 hours and counting...

Ugh

I don't know why but I am really struggling this week. The last time I felt like this was about 5 weeks ago and I had a nightmare of a week trying to find things to satisfy my cravings that were within points. The problem is I can't remember which week it was so I can't even look back in my tracker to see what I did eat! I was definitely over points on Saturday and Sunday (Saturdays not an issue as I never point or track on a Sat) but I am pretty sure I was over yesterday and today as well and I can't face chasing. Normally I go to the gym quite a bit but I only managed once last week and the week before and this week I went tonight and had to leave after 15 mins as I almost was sick and passed out. I've no idea why I feel so crap and then want to eat everything (no, I'm not pregnant!). Ugh. Hoepfully this will pass tomorrow.

Struggling today

I really want to eat stodgy, fatty, calorific carb laden food today but I can't! Not sure what to have for dinner. I only have 8 points left, which is 2-2.5 than I normally have for dinner. Grr!
