Week 13

Week 13

Lost = 2 1/2 lb

Total Lost = 40 1/2 lb

Just 1 1/2 lbs off the 3 stone now :-)

That was a nice surprise this morning, didn't think I was going to do that well as I have missed so many meals this week.

I had Toad in the Hole with new potatoes and veg yesterday, real stodge and a bit of a worry but it was nice to have something that felt a bit naughty :-)

Most of this last week my food each day was the same:

no breakfast :-(  

bad

Homemade Humus and K Crisps with yogurt for lunch

Diet Curry and frozen fruit yogurt, (natural yoghurt and frozen berries mixed in blender) with a bought Meringue Nest for dinner

 My aim this week is to get my fibre levels back in the food I am eating to help the weight along.

Have a good week

Week 12

Week 12

Stayed the same :-(

The heat has got to me this week, who feels like eating in this temperature?  Not too worried though as it happens and it's normal every now and again

Have a good week

Week 11 plodding along

Week 11

Lost = 1 1/2 lb's

Total Lost = 38 lb

3 lb off the 3 stone mark  now.  Wanted to lose 4 stones by 31st of August for our event, it's looking like I may get close but it's a tall order as I need +2lb a week to achieve it.

This week had a couple of bad moments when I wondered if I will ever get there.  Put on my swimsuit for the first time and realised just how far I have to go, had a little cry about that but all I can do is keep trying.

Have a good week all

Week 10 So Sunny :-)

Week 10

Lost = 2 1/2lb

Total lost = 36 1/2lbs

Yay over 2 1/2 stone now :-)

I love this sunny weather,  I have been living on cottage cheese, french toast's (crispbread type), Natural yoghurt mixed with loads of fresh fruit and the odd proper meal.  

easy food

Still on 1500 cals a day 

This week I enjoyed  lot's of the summer fruits that are available, Gooseberry's from MY garden, Strawberry's, Peaches and Cherries.  Also had some delish Homegrown potatoes.

 My peas are nearly ready to pick.  They are  late this year but I do love eating them fresh from the pod :-)

Have a good week

Still losing and inches off

Week 9

Lost = 2 lb

Total lost = 34lb

Total inches off = 17 1/2"

That was a surprise, didn't expect to lose so much this week.  I have been busy though, gardening and maybe doing it in the heat is sweating it off :-) 

Going to try some new Weight watchers Sauces this week that I found on special offer, will report back on my opinion of them.

I really like the New Philadelphia Sauces, Mushroom or Garlic & Herb.

O'k it is 260 cals per sachet (only have half 130 cals) but with a chicken breast 150 cals, 100 grms cooked rice 130 cals,  it makes a 410 cal meal the same as some Diet ready meals you can buy.

Week 8

Week 8

Lost = 2 1/2 lb

Total lost = 32lb

Yay,my leg is healing well so I was back out gardening and grass cutting.  Think jogging round on my tractor cutting the paddock shook off a bit too...lol

Had a nice roast lunch yesterday, chicken, roast potatoes, yorkshire pudding and mixed green veg,  it doesn't hurt to have a treat now and again.  I did in actual fact miss breakfast so had some calories to play with anyway.

This week's eating fad was 1 small can Tuna mixed with sweetcorn, 0%mayo and seafood sauce on rice cakes, yummy

4 rice cakes plus tuna mix = 250 cals

This week's priority job is getting my veggies weeded. All this rain has caused havoc up there, but they are coming along well.  Looking forward to my New Potatoes, which are nearly ready to dig up and the Runner Beans and Peas that are growing fast.

Have a good week

Diet Flipper

Happy Thursday all

I think we all get a buzz when going to a diet group from getting stars, recognition points etc, it brings out the kid in us and it does work.

I made this today, I call it a diet flipper.  There are 28 flips which you turn for each 1/2 lb off that week and each has a motivational saying on it.  There are also a load of flips to mark each 1/2 stone off.

It's easy to make and here is what you need

• card (old cereal packaging is fine)
• pretty paper
• glue
• hole punch or Bind-it-all/Cinch if you're a crafter
• Binding wires, or you could use crocodile clips if you don't have the craft tools
• card to print onto, I used white but any colour will do that will go in your printer
  
   Cut 2 pieces of card approx 9" x 7" and cover in pretty paper
  fold a 4" x 7" piece of card in half lengthways to make the stand.
  
  If you have the craft machines use a piece of bind it all wire to secure the front and back, at the bottom as shown in the picture. If not you could glue this along the bottom edges only so it will be able to open as a hinge.
  You could also punch holes and secure with pretty ribbon or string etc
  
  Print the inspirational sayings or you can print these sheets which are already spaced out for you ready to print and cut.  These are on Mediafire, FREE and you can manipulate in word if you want to make any changes.

  Inspirational 3

  Diet stones off sheets 1
  Diet stones off sheets 2
  Diet stones off sheets 3
  
  I cut the inspiration quotes at 4" x 3 1/2" and the stones off at 3" x 4"
  secure with a clip or bind it all through the front and back at the top either side, this joins all the edges together.  Make sure you have them in order of 1/2, 1lb etc starting with a 1/2lb quote on top and the stones with the lowest amount at the top, i.e 1/2 stone.
  
  I added some star stickers to the one when you reach the half stone (7lb) off  quote and the last one, where you flip them all back and start on your next stone.
  
  Now you just need to lose weight and flip away, one quote per 1/2 lb lost :-)
  
  If you have any questions please contact me and I will try to help you xx
