Another BADDDD few days oh dear seem to be having a few of them recently! Think it because I'm still stuck as far as i know my scales say I am but didn't get to weigh in this week due to school parents evenings. So don't know properly how well I did but just last few days have been the worst i couldn't be bothered was craving fatty foods and gave in ( KFC er oh !) and I didn't count at all so not very good.
Back on it today ( always get back on the horse if I'm thrown ) but don't want to keep having these dips in willpower its not worth it have felt real rubbish with the junk food inside me so off swimming today and will go for a jog later
What is it ? Is it Hormones lack of losing so feel I'm getting no reward ? I know its all in my head I know that and i am weak giving in so need to get tough again

Soups
Soups a great way to fill up and a yummy winter warmer
I have soup for lunch most days now your genral tins can be full of sugar and salt n hidden naughtys so I buy WW ones the magority of the time but they are still pointed and can be sometimes thin and a small amount so make your own is really the best thing to do its satisfing to make soups and they are very healthy and good way to get lots of veggies in to the children.
I chuck any good combination of vegtables in ( all zero Pro Points :) ) and then us 1 stock cube which on the old WW plan they were zero but now count as 1 PP shame as its nice to have made a soup and no its zero Pro Points and then you can have that little extra treat for dinner such as some nice sauce or a choccy pud for example
But yay have just been having a flick through the WW shoping guide ( big shop tomorow ) and so glad I did just noticed that Oxo cubes and Knorr brand stock cubes ( only cubes not granuels or other stocks) are zero Pro Points as long as you only use 1 so yay my soups can be free again and it all helps :)

Stuck !!!
OK hello all I am a bit annoyed and quite baffled I have been for last three weeks stuck at a point and am just not losing weight last week i lost just a Had the week before that i put on a half this week I stayed the same!
Now it could be that naughty day I had this week ( told you I only have to be a bit naughty to spoil things, I have to be 100 % good or else there is not treats allowed for me and I'm not being hard on myself that's sadly the way it is ) but I was good after did lots of jogging ??? ( when i didn't want to as well )
Spoke to my leader who asked what I'm eating and she said east more carbs ???? WHAT ! I really don't want to as might put on and I really want to break past the three stone point and get well in to the 12 stone bracket. I eat a lot of veg and protein thought that was good ? But she said I am lacking in carbs so must have a little to make my diet fair and more balanced as it is in all other areas having little protein, dairy, fat and fibre each day but hardly any potatoes and haven't had rice or pasta for a while so I have to add little bits boooo :( ( they make me bloat)
I am also going to watch my portion size this week and am going to weight everything I eat and be so particular ( which is a right pain, I weigh a few things but guess at others but done that all way through diet so why is its that is it only slowing weight loss now ?)
Also found out my cereal portion is to big and have been counting it at 4 pp instead of the 5pp oops ! Thanks to my mate for spotting that but I dunno always since September last year been eating like that and steadily losing so I don't know ? Am just hoping that these little changes and continued daily exercise for a hour will make a difference if not well I am stumped and will be off to the docs as its getting annoying three weeks and no loss is sooo frustrating as I am behind target now and really want to catch up
Its tough and I think it may well be portion sizes but I don't like to feel hungry as my blood sugar tends to drop and I feel dizzy so am upping my fruit intake 2 and having two snacks a day instead of the one mid morning banana
Now having the banana in cereal to fill up at breakfast as portion is now much smaller
Then a piece of fruit mid morning
Lunch soup or sandwich with salad
Afternoon snack of some fruit or a ryvita
Dinner chicken, fish, WW meal or quorn meat substitute with lots of veg or salad and maybe a jacket potato and small portion of pasta or rice then a WW yogurt and or fruit !
That's pretty similar to what i was and have been doing all way through just adding more fruit and small sized dinners and adding carbs to dinner so will keep fingers crossed and hope for better week right I'm off to sweat and workout be for i go to work bye for now :)
BTW If anyone has any thoughts or ideas what could be affecting my weight loss snag or any comments that would be great and always nice to see comments from people and your thoughts :) Take care x

Learning to understand/ accept ( not like but accept!) the rhythm of my body
Well was weigh in tonight and am so close to losing 3 stone ( 5 pounds away ) that i really want to get to it and past it , get out of the 13 stone's n in to the 12's.
So I worked hard real hard this week stuck to my points didnt under eat had not much salt stayed well hydrated and exersise not just 4 times but every day for over a hour and I lost .... half a pound ??? !!!
Not best pleased but ok its hard to understand and dont make sense but the way metabolisum works and the rhythm of peoples bodys well they are all diffrent some weeks you lose and another you may eat and do the same but not lose its frustrating but the way it go's!
Now this is where I am pleased with myself and growing in my Weight loss journey as months ago I would of sulked and been so very down that I had put in lots of effort and nothing much in return but I sort of get that my body dose this from looking at my weight loss chart i go middle to high loss then nxt wk no loss or small loss n thats that.
A friend of mine has a metabolisum that just works so slowly and it's tough for her she is constantly doing the right things but the weight drops off at a slow pace than most but still it's going down and we have to remeber that we are doing well as my leader told me tonight
She said dont get down keep doing what you are doing and it will proebly show next week and if not maybe a trip to the docs to get checked over to make sure no problems that are hindering weight loss but looking at how my body works she said your efforts will show nxt week and it wont be for nothing.
So when the scales seems to let me down I just say ok hey ho I wont sulk n cheat I will keeps at it and not get dragged in to a war n love / hate thing with scales no matter the pace weight is going down and health is going up along with confidence and a new outlook on life and also a increased life than possibly was before and that one hell of a bonus :)
