Everyday Systems

I didn't want to fish out my old thread. It spans a few years of failures.
I am now 2-stonetoomany. I got a tough job. It is looong hours and little food prep time. I also have a staff room filled with cake.
I am sure that refined flour and sugar and potato chips/crisps are the problem. They are ...

Well I have been at home again. week 3 of laryngitis. No exercise.
This week has been tough. The kitchen is a mess and I am really depressed and anxious. This week I want to eat junk.

We had fish and chips on Tuesday which broke our no take away rule. I think we might have fried our chips and used ...

Week three almost green
So annoying that for two weeks of this I have had laryngitis. I am a teacher so I have been signed off of work.
That means movement has been minimal. But I have stuck to the diet.

In attempt to get better quickly I have been taking a green smoothie with my lunch.

a banana ...

I haven't posted for four years!!!!!!!!!

Ok I lost track of the diet.
I did the slimming world diet for a few weeks in 2013 and got down to 10 stone 6lb. Then stopped because I was fed up with counting sins and eating pretty much the same thing over and over.

I then did a teacher training year and ...

I managed the full four N days since starting.
Hubby made me eat a tiny snack sized poppadom last night-does that count as fail?

Anyway today my s's.
I've had two small sweets/candy. A chewy lolly and a small boiled sweet.
I plan to snack on bombay mix while watching a film tonight. I bought some ...

Well. I finally accepted my body for what it is. My weight obsession has ended.
But I am not happy with my eating habits.

I snack so much that I'm not hungry at meal times.
I at junk and takeaway when my kitchen is a mess.
I hav IBS and Pcos and ating so many sweets and potatoe crisps and takeaway ...

:(
Last week was awash with red marks on the habit cal. Not just for the diet but pretty much everything.

I have no idea why. But my weight is still stable so I'm not going to give up. After all this was about habit not perfection and pounds of loss.

I really care about the things I put on the ...

Into a new week. I feel more positive and more relaxed about it.
I don't feel worried or defeated by the weekend. I can't remember every s I had in the end but I know that they weren't excessive. It was like a regular pre s day diet. Probably more restrained.

My husband discovered that my jeans are ...

I had one bag of crisps

I had three chocolates but I didn't count them as failure. :wink:

I stepped on the scales a couple of times......must try harder.

We booked a holiday to spain in June and that's inspiring me right now. I will roast if I don't feel confident enough to wear less layers.

s ...

Ok so that's two s days over and Friday a falure.
But never mind.

This week I have a few goals from now till next sunday evening.

succesful n days all week
no standing on the scales
crisps and cornchips are s's.

Need to work on some of the habit cal habits I have going. I made those for a reason ...

I have a cheeseburger happy meal when I go. The salad dressing are high cal anyway so why not just enjoy what you like.
By going happy meal I get a regular burger and smaller serving of fries and coke. We go about once every month to two months.

Thankyou over 43.

This week I had two reds.
On tuesday we discovered that some chilled deserts we bought would not last until the weekend. So my slip up that day was simply one small trifle in a pot.

Last night I ate some chocolate and cheesy nachos. Friday is hard and actually we would rather ...

lols. Glad you liked it.

Ok 11 days in and my habit cal is a sea of green and yellow! hurrah.
At the weekend I had six chocolates and a big chunk of banoffee tart.

I feel slimmer. My trousers are looser. Surely that can't be right? Maybe I am imagining it and that just washed effect has faded ...

Ok......so no luck really last year. I think I was too fixated on weight and every time gained a pound in a week or even a day I gave up. Silly really I kow.

So I made a new year's resolution to stick o the no s diet. Just to follow it for the sae of establishing good eating habits. I know that ...

Not very daily am I? lol.

Doing ok. I ate a couple of things I probably shouldn't yesterday but no harm done. Today has been back to business.

I have kept up the twice weekly callanetics and even threw in a session of yogalates today.

Though not showing enough weightloss to be noticeable, there ...

1st of the month official weigh in. Although this is my first month and has not been a full month. I started on October 12th. At 154lb
Today I weigh 151lb. I have lost a steady 1lb a week which I am really pleased with. It means I could reach my goal by mid jan.

I need to list this weekend's s's ...

strange day....I know I've lost a little weight....I know I feel better in my clothes. But when I look in the mirror I still see fatness.
I know I still have a way to go so it's a bit of a reality check. At least I know I'm on my way. If I lose 1lb a week I will have lost my stone by mid January ...

Breakfast bowl of meusli
lunch-1 slice margeurita pizza, banana and a strawberry yoghurt.
Dinner will be beef stew and dumplings.

Tomorrow another birthday, another cake and possibly meal out or chinese take away. Small piece of cake for me and a sensible meal choice with one plate only.

I'm ...

I get stressed.
what is helping me is to make sure to take my vitamins (this helps me but may not be for everyone) and to do some form of relaxing exercise-I do callanetics from an old 80's book. Working the muscles has removed my stress headaches and neck pain which helps.

Camomile tea actually ...

Today....
Breakfast...full fat strawberry yoghurt.
Lunch burger king chiken bites and fries and fanta--did not finish it because I felt full. (my appetite doesn't seem so big.)
dinner a small bowl of home made pasta carbonara.
(eggs,bacon,butter,cheese and spinache tagliatelle.)

250ml bottle orange ...

yesterday was tricky bu I think I got away with it.

Breakfast-only a banana-we had to be out early.
lunch- pizza hut argh!!!! I managed a handfull of nachos, a tablespoon of each-pasta,coleslaw,potato salad. Then four pretty small slices of thin crust pizza.
Dinner-omelette made with chipolatas (3 ...

still going strong.
yesterday I ate one small jelly sweet and a pinch of fruit cake. I don't think they are big enough to count.
My weight has not really shifted significantly since last thursday but I'm not officially weighing till 1st of each month.

I started Callanetics from an old book. I have ...

I'm back again.
I am just too annoyed with my weight. It doesn't go up but ist's not where I want it. I want to lose just 1 stone (14lb) I want to do it by next spring but really if it takes a year so be it. No pressure.

I'm on day nine so far. It's going well. I had to modify it slightly to ...

ok so I was really naughty this weekend......
lots of honey roasted peanuts
a snickers bar
three packs of monster munch
2 kinder choccy snack bars
mixed raw nuts
pizza slice as a snack
500ml bottle cherry coke.
2 glasses of champagne
takeout chinese

um and normal meals......k so this was a bad ...

Thankyou. I have carried on and have not faltered.

I was given cake at pudding the other day and felt rude refusing so I had a smaller bit and will only have one s at the weekend. I have planned a snickers bar for this weekend. Last weekends treats were a small regular bag of m and m's and a bag ...

I have followed no s diet succesfully now for 11 days.
I snacked three times but those were two apples and one banana.

My treats at the weekend were a small piece of banoffe pie and a kit kat.
In the first week lost two pounds but so far this week I have gained 1. :(
I don't undersand, I have cut ...

I hit 157 which is 2lb lighter than my previous heaviest.

I have been no s-ing for three days. Not eating potato chips with lunch either-I have to cut these out as they are my major downfall.
Saving alcohol for weekend. Takeaways and good quality chips will be reserved for planned weekend treats ...

I don't know what went wrong. but I feel fat and unhealthy. I'm going to give no s my all in the new year and exercise more. I may blog in from time to time but mostly i hope to make a 1 year update next jan.

wish me luck lol.

Day 3.....Failure. Yay go me *sarcasm*

I think I succeeded.....I only ate at meal times although I had crisps with lunch...not good choices.

I have just set up with one of those veg box schemes hoping it will be good so I will be motivated to eat more.

Thankyou for the welcome :)
And the well wishes....I have a broken toe, I'm on crutches and it's taking hours to walk anywhere. :x Still it won't be forever.

I don't know what a habit cal is? a habit calender? I will read the forums more thoroughly and find out I am sure...

Yesterday... success ...

I am miserable with my weight and fed up of dieting. I am going to stick to the no s diet. I am unable to walk for the next few weeks but when I can I will make more effort to.
I cannot see me doing the shovel glove so I am going to try some exercises in a book I have for toning up.

I would like to ...
