Today I've decided that it's time to start on a diet as I weighed my self again last night and I was 15 stone although I think that I don't feel that heavy...I was that weight after having Edward...Though I have to admit we all over indulged at Christmas..and seeing as it's almost Spring I think it's time that I/we did something about it..
So were back on salads soup chicken and veg, with a little pasta and rice...and potato's once a week...it worked last time and some more exercise and couple of extra dog walks and baby walks...I think is needed..
Mind you the more I get out side will help me too...and of course I do have to be careful not to over do it...
I do feel like i've put on some weight I lose nearly 2 stone just before christmas and felt really good too...But I/we did eat far to much and didn't do to much exercise throughout december....to cold and wet....well that was are excuse...not good really....
So as from today were back on our diet...and yes it does work...
I will be keeping a dairy on this page of how I'm/ were doing....
We'll be having a weigh in once a week on a Wednesday evening...so I'll keep up posted on how we are doing each week..and what we are eating....
Tonight we are on boiled rice with homemade sweet and sour pork, with no fat on the pork all cut off...followed by a couple of apples....
So I hope this will help and encourage me and other people on a diet ...Good luck to any of you that are dieting I know it can be hard and you'll like me have days when you could eat lots of fatty things ...I know I've had a few of those....last diet I did....

Tomorrow we're on museli for breakfast homemade soup for lunch and fish and new potato's for dinner....
And if it's ok weather wise tomorrow i'm spending as much time as possible out on the nursery, moving plants around..and potting up seedlings....

ReplyDeleteWell today starts the diet properly, we've just had museli fr breakfast and later on this morning were all off for a nice walk, the weather is dull and over cast but dry.
Edward is still in bed a sleep so is benji...I'm determined to lose at least 2 stone by my birthday at the end of April....I must do..this extra weight is not doing my joints any good and is putting extra pressure on them...which is not good....
I felt very low last night...I didn't get much sleep either, kept on wondering how I'd got so heavy....I know why wrong kind of food and not much exercise throughout December didn't help...
I'm going to spend some time out on the nursery today..more cleaning and tiding up to do..
Were having chicken salad sandwiches for lunch followed by some fruit....
I think writing how I feel on this page will help me get through this first stage...I need some motivation and I know John is going to help but, I need to do this for my self.....

ReplyDeleteWe had a change of plan for our lunch we had a omlette instead which was very tasty John made them....
We also found all our weight watchers books which Johns mum had given us last year..we'd put them away to save space...bad move...
We doing the points diet...it worked last time...you can eat most things but you have to weigh out your portions and you have a number of points for each day I can use up to 28 points and John has 32 points he can use each day...We do try not to use them all up each day...we can save some points for if we'd like a treat towards the end of the week...It's a really good way of controling exactly what you eat...of course Edward get everything he needs as he does not need to be on a diet there not an once of fat on him....anywhere....
Jih is making dinner tonight kedigree with raw smoked mackrel and mushrooms onions and rice but it's all been measured out by me earlier...were on 5 points for dinner which isn't to bad...
We'll be having friut for pudding as most fruit have no points on this diet...
I'm still feeling quiet low regarding my weight..but starting to realise that this diet will be a good thing for both myself and John...
We had a brisk walk in to town earlier which I did not enjoy and was in a lot of pain when we got back....took more painkillers and i was not in quite as much pain...
I've had a short time out on the nursery today about an hour....did do alot jut a bit of sweeping up and moved a few pots around...
Edward has been asleep all afternoon but now he's running riot in the lounge..and shreading paper everywhere after I've tidyed up....

ReplyDeleteDinner was very tasty and we had quite a lot as well...we had an apple for dessert....
We're busy planning tomorrow nights dinner as we want something special we call it confusion food as were having a bit of chinese abit indian and some mexican dishes....
Breakfast and lunch are already sorted out, a treat for me of 2 coissants and John is having porridge...Not sure what we're going to have for lunch as yet but I'm sure it will be very tasty and filling...
I'm starting to feel a bit better about this diet..and yes John is giving me loads of support...Tomorrow if the weather is ok we'll be going for a walk...and I'm going on my exercise bike for 10 minutes gentle excrcise...Lady Sarah

ReplyDeleteAll is better today with the diet...I've only used 15 points so far today...which is very good and I've treated me and John to some cider tonight which is only 2 points per pint...which really good for use two as we love cider....We've ate quite well today we had ham sandwiches for lunch and I cooked pasta with 3 meatballs each for our dinner, it was very tasty too....I had a apple for my pudding....
I feel better today about the whole diet thing..more confident to get on with it too...

ReplyDeleteThe diet is going ok I'm much more confident that it is going to work..
We'd been eating quite well and I've not felt hungry at all...We went to my mothers for our dinner tonight which was very good...we had tomato and basil soup to start and the new potatoes carrots peas and homemade chicken pie for our main meal we had apple sponge pudding with cream for dessert it was very nice and we used our saved points so we could enjoy all our meal....
Tomorrow it's back to soup for lunch and fish and salad for dinner....
I also went on my exercise bike today and did 10 minutes on it which was enough for me today...as I have been in quite a lot of pain....

Wednesday 23rd Feb...
ReplyDeleteJust had a weigh in I've managed to loose 4Lb in one week, not bad for the first week...Will try to loose the same again this week too....
I'm just being careful of what we both eat and I'm still weighing out the food for each meal...So yes I think this diet might just work..I'm aiming to lose at least 2 1/2 stone by August for a friends wedding I might loose a bit more before then...I want to get back into a size 14...I was happy with my weight then....
John is being very helpful and encouraging and to be truthful I haven't felt much like snacking between meals either....
So I'll report back next Wednesday after my next weigh in....Lady Sarah.
Saturday 26th Feb..
ReplyDeleteThe diet is doing really well, I've lost another couple of pound since Wednesday, Which I think is really good.
Mind you I haven't been that hungrey the past few days I've in a lot of pain again...So I found that sleeping and resting really helps...I have to say that today though I'm rather hungry again...I've had some toast for breakfast and I having crackers and 10grms of cheese for my lunch, I think we'll have chicken and salad for dinner...Lady Sarah.

ReplyDeleteWell I'm really pleased with myself, the diet is going really welland up to now I've lost just short of 8Lbs, and I've almost dropped a dress size too from a 20 down to and 18...So I'm keeping up with the doeit now...it's easy to manage and It's working fpr me and John he's lost 10Lbs so far...We are both feeling better for losing just a few pounds....and I've been back on my excersise bike again today just for 10 minutes but if I keep doing that each day it will help and maybe in a few weeks time I'll be able to use the bike for a bit longer...I'm just having to be careful because of my knees...
i don't want another week like last week I hate not being able to do much, but that's what it like with my arthritis...I can have a few good weeks then back to lots of pain....anyway loosing this weight will help alot...and I'm aiming to keep it off this time....
I'm back on cereal for breakfast now, and soup and crackers for lunchand a good weighed out meal for our dinner...tonight it's enchladas and couscous.and may be a bit of low fat garlic bread....
I'll have to let you know what the weigh in is on Wednesday I'm getting quite excited to see how much I've lost over the past week...I'm aiming for and 4Lbs but not sure if I've done that this week...

ReplyDeleteWell I'm very pleased with how my new diet is working, I'm starting to feel more energetic and starting to do a bit more every few days...
We're having roast chicken with vegetables for our dinner tonight so is Edward, we had grilled bacon sandwiches for lunch which was a real treat as we've not had thoe for quite a few weeks...John is going to make dessert tonight an old favorite if ours semolina with jam....yummy, very few points in that as well....
I've lost another couple of pounds so far this week and found that I need a smaller pair of jeans now as my other wont stay up with out a belt...
I've also found that it's also getting easier to do thim=ngs outside on the nursery..although I still have to take my time and not over do anything or over stretch...As that makes everything start to ache again...
Tomorrow myself and Edward will be walking in to town to do a bit of shopping and then we have a busy day on Tuesday again were off to crewe late morning then I have my assessment and then we've decided to go to bridgemere straight after that then on the way home were going to do the weekly shopping the of to the local diy store for some timber to start building the office which we will start on Wednesday...
