Last night I went to 'fat club'. I managed to lose 3.5lb since last weigh in, which was two weeks ago. I'm pleased with this, considering I had four days where I didn't stick to the diet due to stress.
I have had days where I'm still hungry after meals and syns, and not had free food in the house so have had extra syns, but I haven't felt guilty, and the scales seem to approve aswell. I think as my weight comes down I won't be able to do this.
Luckily, we've been paid so I've been able to stock up. I made chilli yesterday, which was absolutely gorgeous. It had cinnamon in it, which I've never put in before and lots of mushrooms and peppers. I was allowed a huge portion as a meal, so that's a definate plus to this diet. I also tried syn free chips the other night alongside smoked haddock and corn on the cob. I was very pleased with the chips, definately better than oven chips and a lot like home made fried chips. Got lots of fresh butcher meat in the freezer ready to make meals with. I'm currently defrosting chicken fillets but have yet to decide what I'm cooking for tonight. I bought an indian recipe book last night, so it's probably going to be curry. I do love spicy food, lots of flavour, and I have plenty of choice on this diet.
I stayed for the whole meeting last night, which I was quite nervous about. I don't really know the format of the meeting yet and didn't know what to expect. But last night was fine, we watched a dvd of inspirational stories, one guy had lost 25 stone! I am definately going to try to attend the meetings, but it takes two hours out of the evening, and I still feel strange leaving Isla?!
I have managed a little exercise this week, but definately struggle with the cross trainer with the burn. I got hold of some second hand zumba dvd's and have tried that. I definately get better exercise from this and less burn. My face goes beetroot with the exercise though. I'll definately be sticking to exercise at home for a while. Once the nights are lighter, I will get on the bike again.
It doesn't looke like it will be too long before the lighter nights, the days are stretching and the weather this week has been brilliant for the time of year. We have made a start with planting seeds etc, looks like we're going to have a lot of chilli peppers this year!
I'm hungry so I'll be off now for a plate of fat free yogurt and berries - free food!
