Thursday

Weight 8st12lbs

I've been a bit slack with the posting...sorry! I have been a weekday dieter for a while as lots of foody and drinky events going on at weekends. Anyway...started a half DUKAN, half Kate-made-up rules diet on Monday!! Did see 8st 11lbs on the scales yesterday but it was 8st12lbs today. My rules...oatbran, semi-skimmed milk is ok, as much protein as want, low fat cream cheese, lettuce and cucumber ok, muller lights, lots of water, 25 minutes exercise every day, treat if needed!

Decided to have a little look at calorie intake too so might keep that up as was quite interesting to see on myfitnesspal.com

Lunch:: smoked salmon and cheese spread, cucumber, muller light
Dinner: 1 small pork loin, 1 1/2 kippers, half plate lettuce, muller light
Snack: twix 1 snack finger, tea

Day 29

Wasn't very organised today and didn't have much food in the house but got the shopping today so will get sorted now for the rest of the week. Felt a but bloated today but I think that is due to pigging out on the weekend. Exercise helped give me a bit of energy though!

Green day:

Breakfast: Oat so simple, semi skimmed milk (a+b)
Lunch: Packet of frazzles (5s?) apple, muller light
Dinner: Pasta with pesto (1) and 42g feta (b) and vegetables
Exercise: 20 minute jogging
Watercheck: 1.5L + 2 teas. Probably need to drink a bit more.

ABB+6syns

Day 28: - 7 lbs

Sunday: 9st 0lbs.
Been a bit slack for the last few days...I did have a sneaky mid-week weigh on Thursday and I had gone down to 8st 12lbs but I've been naughty all weekend so I reckon that is why I've gone back up to 9st.

Must get organised for the next week and get back on it. Not got as many distractions to the diet next weekend so hopefully I will be better this week. Went running Mon-Thurs but haven't done any exercise this weekend so must get back to that next week. Fingers crossed for nice weather! Aim for next week is to lose 2lbs. Come on 8st 12lbs!

Day 22/2

Didn't weigh this morning for the first time in a while. That was OK. So I wasn't 100% good today and not as organised as I should have been but lots of positives. Ended up doing a green day as didn't have alot of time for dinner and so ended up having pasta.

Breakfast: 28g oatbran (a+b) 1 boiled egg

Lunch: 2x Wholemeal bread (b) cheese (a) pickle and salad sandwich. Tea. Water.

I snacked on little sweets that were on the table at work-very naughty.
Dinner: Pasta with vegetables and a weight watchers sauce (about less than 2syns for the amount I had) Grated cheese on top- about 3 syns worth.
Also, I had half as much as Robin (which is half as much as I would normally have)

AABB + 5 syns PLUS the sweets I had (must be better tomorrow!)
Didn't have time for any yogurt for dessert or anything but didn't feel hungry.
Watercheck: 1L - Need to drink more tomorrow.
Exercise: 25 minutes jogging. 150 crunches.

Day 21/1 (total diet/slimming world): - 7 lbs

Weight: 9st 0lbs

Now I am following slimming world diet. I have ordered food shopping and made a plan for the week. Treated myself a little bit today so had a few syns. On slimming world I am going to stick to red days. You are allowed 4 healthy extras a day - 2 a options (milk and cheese) and 2 b options (which will be cereals, potato/rice for me on red days). You are allowed between 5-15 syns a day. I am trying to even it out to 8-10 over the week.

Breakfast: Oatbran porridge with semi skimmed milk (b+a), 1 boiled egg

Snack: mini roll (about 4.5 syns)

Lunch: Didn't have anything but had a Twix later (13 syns I think)

Dinner: Half jacket potato (b) peppered mackerel and salad. L/C L Cheese triangle (part of a)
Muller light.

Watercheck: 1.5L
Options check: AABB Total Syns= 17.5
Didn't get around to exercise today but have a plan for the next week to get focussed!

Day 21: - 7lbs

Weight: 9st 0 lbs.

I was going to stick to it but I am fed up and think I need variety so I am going back to slimming world dieting. I am going to take the following points of Dukan through to my new diet: Drink lots of water. F/F Yogurts. Stick with low carbs. Exercise 30 minutes a day.

Going to do the food shopping later and organise my food plan for the week. Will post my daily eating on here but not going to weigh every day anymore. Wish me luck!

Day 20: - 7lbs

Weight: 9st

Back up again. Poop. Slipped on the diet today...felt so demotivated by the lack of weight loss this week that I gave up on the diet so today I've been naughty. This is what I have eaten today...

Egg and cress sandwich, an ice cream, chips, salad cream, 1 twix finger, 1 mini roll.

Looking at it like this, I haven't madly over eaten - infact it doesn't look like that much food for a whole day so maybe it isn't as bad as I thought but of course its all the wrong things. Didn't find a wedding dress again today but I have learned alot about what shape dress suits me, which helps! I am going to get back on the diet tomorrow but with a PV day and I am going to make some changes. Make sure I exercise enough. Not going to weigh myself every day - will try only once a week (will weigh tomorrow and then wait till next Sunday).

Day 19: - 8 lbs

Weight 8st 13 lbs

Back and forth between 9st/8st13lbs getting boring now! Come on 8st 12lbs, I want to meet you! Did not do my exercise today because I hurt my toe and could hardly walk most of the day! Will try to get up and go out early tomorrow morning though before going wedding dress shopping!

Breakfast: Oatbran porridge, 1 boiled egg

Lunch: Had it quite late as wasn't hungry and was busy-2 chicken legs, 1 smoked salmon slice, bit of x/l cheese, muller light.

Dinner: 2 egg ham omelette, bit of x/; cheese, muller light.

Watercheck: 2+litres.

Day 18: - 7lbs

A good day today...have done what I set out to do and improved water intake and went for a 50 minute walk/jog. Estimated water intake today is 2.5-3L + 3 cups of tea. Also changed my oatbran to daily today.

Breakfast: 2 tbsps oatbran porridge, 1 boiled egg.

Lunch: Chicken and Ham soup. Muller light.

Dinner: Roast chicken, roasted butternut squash, lettuce, 5 cherry tomatoes, muller light.

Highlights mint chocolate drink (my not too naughty treat).

Chicken and Ham soup recipe

42g ham
42g mushrooms
2 medium corgettes
2 medium onions
1 chicken breast
3/4 pint stock made with chicken bovril/stock cube
2 tsp light soy sauce

This is actually a slimming world recipe. I just chop it all up and whack it all in together for about 20 minutes. Then I blend half of it and leave the rest chuncky. I get about 3 servings out of it but could be 4 smaller bowls. Yum! Enjoy!

Day 18: - 7lbs

Weight: 9st

Arghh! It seems my body has a favourite weight right now and it keeps going back to it. Must go for a run in a bit maybe thats my problem...not enough exercise and too much yogurt! and probably not enough to drink. Going to drink loads today. Mission! (Also, have been to the toilet now)

Day 17: - 8 lb

Weight: 8st 13lbs

Dieting is hard at the moment as the weight loss has slowed down since my first week! So...I broke my diet today...only two small things but I feel I must confess. I had a little mouth watering moment and decided to go for it and have 1 twix finger (113kcals) with  a cup of tea. It was nice. Anyway, I have also been a bit naughty as didn't do my exercise today but will make up for it tomorrow. So I have decided to make a change to my diet now as I'm not sure if my oatbran every other day is working for me so I am going to go back to having 2 tbsps every day now. I think I am eating quite alot really...probably too many flavoured yogurts?

Breakfast: 4 tbsps oatbran porridge with some cinnamon and sweetener. Activia yogurt.
Lunch: smoked salmon, x/l cheese spread, ham, 1 boiled egg. Activia yogurt.
Dinner: 2 egg ham omelette with a bit of x/l cheese spread (plus I added forbidden veggies as really fancied them and thought it wouldn't be too bad - 2 cherry tomatoes, 1 mushroom, 2 slices red onion. Muller light.

Drinks: diet coke, tea, 1x highlights chocolate drink, squash.

16 days: - 7lbs

Weight: 9st 0lbs

Yesterday: Oatbran porridge, 2 boiled eggs and cheese triangle, yogurt, mussels, steak, yogurt.

Today: 1 egg, ham, mushrooms, 2 cherry tomatoes, yogurt, diet coke. Dinner: asparagus, cherry tomatoes, 2 sea bass fillets, muller light.
