lose weight

Hmm…dunno what’s happening tomorrow, we may or may not be eating out. Which ruins my plans, because I base what I eat at my other meals on what i will eat in the evening…
We might not even eat out, which means we get back after 6 PM and will be expected to fix something up… I don’t want to eat my largest meal so late at night.

I’ll snack on healthy foods during the day and if need be, leave half my meal out.

so my eating is much better and i am definatley more active and so i think it must be the alcohol holding me back.

so i have decided to cut way back, plus should save sum dosh aswell as calories!

Summer must be good for me…......2 positive wiegh ins in a row. Down to 222..I am a little motivated now.

I’ve been eating a lot better since I’ve been in work but its only because I have more willpower at work. I am not about to go eating cakes in front of my workmates. I’m already conscious about what they think. I had 2 weetabix with soya milk for breakfast then a glass of orange juice about 11.30am and then iced water and a tuna sandwich on rye bread for lunch. No snacking! Yes! See when I want to I can stick to it. There’s no excuse. I’m going to have wholewheat pasta with tomato sauce and tuna flakes. I’m tired so I’m going to have a bath with a lush bomb, get in bed and read my book. A perfect evening. Good luck everyone x

Six years ago I managed to lose 14k with the weight watchers method. I just looked up an empty notebook, wrote down what I’ve eaten today and the points those things cost, and I’m starting all over again. I know I can do this, cause I did it before. And I need to do this.

I can have 22 points a day, today I had 13 so far:
bf: 2 sandwiches with chocolate sprinkles (a very normal thing to eat in the Netherlands ;)) – 4.5 and two glasses of raspberry flavored milk – 2
lunch: 2 sandiwiches with c.s – 4.5 and 2 cups of black tea with sugar 1

Dinner is probably about 7 points (boiled potatoes (2), vegetables (0), piece of meat (4.5)), so if I don’t take any cookies tonight, I already save up 2 points :)

I just saw the pictures a friend made of me during our holiday last week. I look absolutely horrifying on most of them… I sóó need to lose weight, soon. I was hoping that I had lost some pounds during my trip, because I always eat less and drink a lot of water and walk an awful lot, but I don’t think I succeeded. My weight might be higher because of my pms (i’m always 1k heavier then) but even when I take that into consideration I don’t believe I lost some weight :(

I really should get myself together.. I really would love to lose those 10k’s and feel as good as I did 3 years ago….

special k, no milk, banana, spinach tortilla wrap w/ roasted veggies, spinach, hummus, and feta, and an apple.

I forgot to eat dinner, I guess I wasn’t hungry. I didn’t work out yesterday, walked some though. BUT the day before, even though I royally messed up I managed to put in a one hour intense walk/run. It ended up making me feel a lot better about how horrible I ate that day. I still have a long way to go and sometimes I wonder if I’ll even lose weight. I’m uncomfortable in this body, it’s not the way I used to look, even six months ago I looked better. I need to keep trying and stay focused.

Obviously that last goal of 5 by august 1 was a bit of a stretch….I know I haven’t been eating very well lately. In about a week my hubby and I will be moving into our new home :) (our first) and needless to say, I’m packing…which is stressful for me. I’m trying out this new tactic (for me) to only eat when I’m hungry…which is a little hard b/c if i’m not hungry for lunch, for example, I still feel like I should eat something because I know I’ll be hungry later and I might not have a chance to eat then b/c I’ll be busy and then I’ll feel slumpish..etc. So, I guess I’ll just see where this goes. :)

So my pathetic little chicken patties contain a total of 592 mgs of sodium and to prove my boyfriend wrong the Big Mac sandwhich has 1040 mgs of sodium. That’s a HUGE difference, I don’t feel so bad now!

(wipes brow)

So I went vegetarian for many many reasons but I was happy to find in the frozen foods section of the grocery that they had veggie chicken patties until I read the sodium content! It has 590mgs of sodium in a little patty the size of my palm, and trust me my palm is SMALL!

My boyfriend said that they have MORE sodium than what’s in a bigmac from McDonald’s, which I plan on investigating today. I am so bummed! I would be eating healthier if I actually read these important things.

Filling my body up with salt is NOT going to help me lose weight but its so hard for me to eat veggie and NOT have some proccessed foods in the fridge. I can’t make EVERYTHING from scratch but I might have to start doing that very thing.

So now I have my chicken soy pattie for lunch and I don’t even want to touch it because of the sodium content. Boo and hiss!
