Sabotage Frustration!

Went out today. Ate about a gazillion points.

I shared a bowl of chips with gravy. With a chocolate milkshake. THEN I had a piece chocolate cake. AND a skim cappuccino (yup cause the skim will make a HUGE difference after all that!!). Going to have to try and add up the points.

So frustrated! I want to get to 100kg before we have another baby. That has been my goal ALL year. But I'm not getting there.

Tonight for dinner is going to be rissoles (3pts) and point free stir fry veg to try and minimise the damage.

I need to work out WHY I do this to myself! I felt like crap afterwards. Things like milkshake and chocolate cake DO NOT agree with me - ie I'm on the loo, I get bad stomach cramps. I feel awful. I know this. Yet I still do it!

ALTHOUGH - I've had a think, and previously eating a huge amount was probably NORMAL. And I wouldn't have adjusted my eating habits tonight to adjust for it. So I do think that I have made a big step forward.

Fortnightly Menu Plan

Dinners

  • (Quorn) Sausages with mash and onion gravy
  • Sweet potato, red onion and feta frittata
  • Roasted chickpea and spinach curry
  • Corned beef with mustard chive sauce 
  • Veggie soup
  • Veggie pizza
  • Caramelised pork with sweet potato mash and apple

I also do a cook up with my mum every so often and freeze dinners. So at the moment we also have meatloaf, rissoles, soup, spaghetti bolognaise, penang curry, thai peanut chicken and some more I'm sure already in the freezer ready to go. I'd LOVE to hear of WW friendly recipes that freeze well :).

  • Leftovers
  • Eggs and vegemite on toast


Breakfasts

  • Weetbix

Snacks

  • Herbal tea (I bought a HEAP at the shops today - licorice; mint and lavender; honey and lemon; green and I'm sure some more!)
  • Yoghurt
  • Fruit
  • WW meeting snacks
  • Lite and creamy icecream slices (only 2 points!)
  • Jelly



Back on track

SW: 132.1kg
CW: 130.9kg
GW: 99kg (personal goal)

A couple of weeks ago I decided to give Weight Watchers a go. Decided that I need the people contact. I'm liking it so far, on Week 3. Lost 1.2kg so far, and hoping lots more to come! I've set myself a personal goal of 99kg. I don't think I've weighed that since I got married. I realise that there will be more kilos to lose after that - my WW set goal is about 55-65kg - but I'll just reassess what I'm happy with as the time goes on.

Went shopping today - for lots of healthy foods. Will be a good week and I'm aiming to see a bigger loss on the scales next week!
