Since Tuesday I've been back at my diet. On my diet plan I'm allowed 5-15 syns a day, aswell as a choice of 'free' food. There have been days where I have gone over my syns by just one or two syns, but I'm not feeling guilty about it. Today, I had all my syns with my lunch I was that hungry, I usually leave it until evening to eat my syns!?
But, mentally I'm struggling with it. I've got the hang of it. Lack of money has meant I've been relying on what we have in the house, so choice has been limited. The fitting of the kitchen was finally finished on Wednesday evening, so finally got back to oven and hob cooking, but my new oven is not as good as the old one!
The problem has been tiredness, every day I could either go for a nap early evening or I'm fallling asleep on the couch earlier than my usual bed time. I'm also a bit grumpy and short tempered, which is not really like me. I'm hoping this will pass as my body adjusts to the change in diet. I've had problems like this when I've tried low carb diets, but I think I'm having enough carbs this time? I do suffer from PCOS, which has seemed under control since having Isla, but previously my insulin levels used to go up and down depending on what was happening with my hormones (female curse).
I've made some nice dishes this week, strictly my own creations, one was a minced lamb curry with peppers, and the other has been monkfish with roasted vegetables. This is free food on the diet.
Once pay day has arrived, I will be able to get more food to add some more variety to the diet, and will try to get in more exercise.
I've been on the cross trainer a couple of times and I'm really struggling with 'the burn', which is holding me back from doing as much as I physically could. My poor muscles have forgotten what exercise is! I've got hold of some zumba DVD's to try. For now, I'd feel far more comfortable exercising in my own home. Also today I went onto wii fit, and just did the body test. I got a bit of a telling off as its been almost 2 years since I was last on - yeah I know! It was able to tell me I had gained two stone 4 lb since my last visit aswell. One good thing my wii fit age was the same as my actual age.
I'm hoping for a good loss this week, to help motivate me.
Glad you are still going at it though. When things get hard that's when I normally hit the junk food, or grab a kit kat or 2 with my coffee. I also had a few bad days ( Thursday, Friday and Saturday) and have also been grumpy and short tempered........maybe its something in the air lol, kinda getting it under control again now I hope. I am sure you will have a loss this week :) Any healthy change in the diet has got to be good. Got to be better than how I would of ate "pre Slimming". Thats how I try to see it anways. Which class do you go to anways? I do the Wednesday night one in New Elgin. Keep at it :) x x x
ReplyDeleteTuesday night at borough brigg's. I've just cut myself two slices fresh homemade bread and poured a half measure of vodka. So just gone over today's syns with this. Oops! Here's hoping the scales are kind to us x
