1230 - looking at the same old boring sandwich wrapped in tin-foil sitting on the desk infront of you. Depressed because when you take it out of the foil you know its not going to excite you, its not going to fill that cavernous hole that's in your tummy... Its depressing, has those sad little finger dents where you pushed down to halve it - diagonally, to try and make it fancy... well this is where your lunch time changes... keep reading for more!

Quick post before I head out the door...

So, WW  today - 

DOWN 2.5LBS - yes, that's right, bold, and caps and underlined... and a different colour font! I've also realised that I am no longer craving a caffiene fix in the afternoon - such as coffee or a diet coke, and that in a week i've had no diet drinks at all (or carbonated drinks) and wonder if they were bloating me long term - i always felt a bit more bloated when I drank them, but then assumed that it was normal!

I am so chuffed - as was my leader, she said, 'well done - see you did tell me you'd get that off now the last time you came'. I also am particularly chuffed as this means that I am now

2 POUNDS FROM GOAL. 

Next week is a birthday party for one of my best friends. It's a night away, and there's going to be copious amounts of alcohol, and some sort of food - as well as the following day, travelling, and therefore munching in the car. So - going to be smart about this - 10k run before we head down on Saturday - that's an extra 10 WW pro points for me and the dinner that night will not include any of the following:
  • bread
  • pasta
  • noodles
  • chips / french fries
All so I can get into this dress, or a dress that looks like that as the dress I have isn't online any more!! It's a UK10 - and I've been trying it on over and over again... I am planning on wearing it with black tights, gold shoes and a cream jacket.... but I DO NEED TO BE ABLE TO SIT DOWN IN IT AT LEAST FOR DINNER!

Breakfast the following day will also not include
  • bread
  • dairy 
  • too much sugar
but it will probably look like this, a lovely Irish fry-up, hangover cure and little bit of heaven on a plate... yummo

The scales...and wheat free day 3

So last night's dinner was hake, spuds and veggies, and then i followed it with a three point curly wurly - the best value (points wise) chocolate you can get - they take so damn long to eat! 

I needed a snack before I went running and had 25g of apricot, raisin and nut porridge (my first attempt at eating porridge as an adult), with some golden syrup to sweeten (we had no honey!). 

Yesterday the scales said 10st 3.2 (143 lbs), today they said 10st 1.2 - (141lbs). Note - the scales and home, and the WW scales never tell the same story for me. The WW scales are about 2 pounds over what I need to be. However, this is all good news on the wheat front - As I was not hungry yesterday, and at the same time I was not bloated, and I still showed a down tick on the scales. I even stood on them twice to make sure! 

Weigh-in day is normally Thursday, but it might be Wednesday this week as I might go see my mum on Thursday instead. We'll see! The last time I went I was 10st 7.5 on the scales in WW - and the week before I'd made it to 10st 5 (145 lbs) - which is only 2 short of my goal. 

I have to remember that when I started I was a WHOLE LOT HEAVIER... 


Taken in 2008 - long before WW was even on my radar...

June 2010 - 6 months before WW - so I was still gaining! 

November 2010 - still pre WW (I had to donate this leather jacket last year as even with a hoody inside it it was swimming on me - it felt good!)


July 2012... over 55 pounds gone! :-) (I'm actually wearing shorts!)
