Third weigh in tonight, and I'm pleased to announce a loss of 2lb. Delighted again, especially as I know I have a bit of fluid retention this week. I'm finding it really easy to stay on track with the new pro points system. That 49 points set aside each week is great for the treats at the weekend. I feel like I'm dieting during the week, but that I can have treats at the weekend and plenty of them!
I have a girlie night this Saturday, food and drinks at a friends on Saturday, but I know how manageable this plan is. So the rest of the week I'll be good and allow myself treats with the girls! :)

First half stone whoop whoop!
Tonights loss was 3.5 lbs! I'm amazed. It's not been like me in recent years to do so well in the first couple of weeks. I usually watch everyone else get great losses in the first few weeks while I struggle on with a pound off each time. I'm very pleased and feeling very motivated!
I was worried about what the loss would be, but, obviously didn't need to be.
I went to Leuchars Airshow on Saturday and used my weekly bonus points all in one day, which is basically what I did the previous week, but I was guesstimating?! I knew the place would be full of fast food type vans, but between my daily allowance of points plus my weekly bonus I had plenty obviously! I even had two thirds of a bottle of wine at night.
So, here's hoping the next week is succesful too. I'm at the weight I got down to on the last diet, and I had a few extra pounds at the start of this diet too.

THIS TIME!
I started to diet again. Stress in life is reducing, hopefully some things are coming together and life is moving on! So, time for the diet to begin again.
I decided to try Weight Watchers rather than Slimming World this time. I definately prefer to count and keep an eye on things as I go. Mentally I get it into my head better?!
Iwent to my first class on Monday 29th August, and had my first weigh in last night. 4lbs down!
So pleased with myself, and I definately feel like I'm in the right frame of mind.
Wish me luck!

BIG FAT FAIL???!!
Well people, what do I say? For a month now I've not been on the diet - oooooops!
My mum visited a month ago with a massive tin full of chocolate toffee shortbread, and when I moaned at her, she told me the girls had asked for it so she made some. This was a huge tin full of it, I intended on having one to taste, well four portions later I gave up for that day! The next morning I ate more with my morning coffee and that set me off into a baking frenzy. I ate some of my baking, not too much and intended to get back on the diet. I was doing ok, but allowing myself the odd treat, which has just developed into all the bad eating habits from before.
I have had some stresses, and unfortunately I've resorted to my usual way of coping - chocolate and cakes.
I am hoping that this confession will help me to sort myself out again. I know Easter is coming up, and then we have a week's holiday next Saturday so I'm not going to be strict with myself yet. As soon as the holiday is over, I'm back on the diet,a nd in the meantime I will cut back on the treats.

Third Weigh In
Last night's loss was 1lb, which I'm pleased with considering I had the night off for drink on Saturday. I stayed for class despite being nervous about the format, but it was fine.
During the talk, the leader was reminding people about the plan, which is handy for older members who just plod along, I was surprised at the amount of people who still don't understand or stick to the plan. I was feeling pleased with myself that I've got my head around it and the psychology behind it, despite finding it difficult the first couple of weeks. I had been punishing myself at the start for not being quick enough to understand it.
I was hoping to buy another cook book at class, but they had none left. Last night's dinner was out of the Indian book again - it was Pork Vindaloo. It was lovely but mild, especially for Vindaloo.
I've had a couple of stressful days again, and last night I ended up eating a chocolate brownie that my husband had baked the night before and then a couple of chocolate biscuits. Today, I was good up until this evening. I visited my sister late afternoon and was hungry by the time I was coming home with nothing prepared for dinner, the car turned into McDonald's! Oops. I don't really like that type of food, but the hunger got the better of me.
Tomorrow, I hope will be a better day for me mentally, so I can stick to plan and not make any more mistakes this week.

Was I Good?
So, last night we went out with our friends on the town. We had fajita's for dinner, and I did end up having the tortilla bread and not rice - oops!
I stuck to drinking vodka and diet coke, and at the end of the night when my friends went to get their kebab and pakora's etc, I asked for chicken tikka and rice! The man in the take away was not happy at what I was asking for, for some strange reason, but I did get my request. It helped to soak up some of the drink and although it was almost free food, the oil was some extra syns.
I have been good today, back on diet. I haven't felt hungover, just tired. Tonights dinner, was a recipe from the indian cook book - Chicken Jalfrezi with rice. It was lovely, but next time I make it I will add more spice as it was very mild. Isla was loving the sauce with some rice.

Night Out
I'm apologising in advance if there is no weight loss this week as tonight I'm going out on the town!
I've been good this week so far, sticking to 15 syns, but tonight I will NOT be counting the syns in my drink. I intend to have a good day eating, sticking to the diet. I haven't decided what we're having for dinner yet, but I may just pop to the butcher this afternoon after my visit to the hairdresser, and we can have fajita's, but I'll stick to rice instead of the tortilla bread.
I can count on one hand the number of nights out we've had in the last few years, since getting pregnant, having a new born, Isla's diagnosis and treatment. We've never had a night away from Isla, just once when we all got noro virus in hospital and we couldn't be on the ward. If we have been out, we've always been conscious of the fact that we have a toddler waiting for us at home. I think we definately need the time off to let our hair down a bit, and get rid of recent stresses. So, I'm giving myself permission to have a night off, you never know I may get so sick I lose weight anyway!
I've managed a couple of zumba sessions this week and yesterday at work, I managed to get in quite a few action songs with the class I was teaching, so had some mini workouts yesterday!
So have a nice weekend everyone, I hope I do!
