Not sure what Taco Bell is/are—but if its one of your favouritesand you can include it in your eating plan-that sounds great !!
Not sue about today-just had breakfast–crispbreasds. cottage cheese and pineapple–but I have an awful feeling that I may not have lost anything again this week. Wondering whethere to switch things around—maybe start my day with cereal, and have crackers and cottage cheese at lunchtime—but I do not really like cereal much, this is the problem–and the few that i do enjoy are so loaded with sugar, I would never touch them now. Ill see what happens on the scales tomorrow–but I am not very hopefull. Even though Ive been taking my 2 dogs out for extra long walks everyday. !!
I am pretty sure I have not lost any, so I am writing out my weeks menu for the group leader.
However, my clothes continue to get looser on me–this morning I managed to get into one of the dresses I wore just after I got married–for the first time—and that was a very long time ago—i will admit it was a little tight–but I got it on fairly easily !!
I need to say that l stated that the gym was free. I found out yesterday, that it’s not, it’s a reduced price membership. The trainer’s instruction is free but you have to pay for the use of the gym plus a one off doctor’s referral charge of £11.
I had a salad for lunch and for dinner I’m making my son and his dad fish & chips with hushpuppies and I’m having a grilled tomato, cheese and avocado sandwich on whole grain bread and something else. Not sure yet. Maybe some shrimp.
i love avacado—I have not had any for some time—as I think they are not as good for me as I thought they were-
BTW what are hushpuppies ??? Apart fom shoes ?
Haha, no, not shoes. Hushpuppies are basically fried balls of cornmeal. Think of them as fried balls of cornbread.
Description: A hushpuppy is a small, savory, deep-fried ball made from cornmeal-based batter. Hushpuppies are frequently served as a side dish with seafood and other deep-fried foods.
I was at Slimming world today-unbelievably I have put on another pound !!
I am devastated—I took my food plan in and she says I am not eating enough–not enough to feed a sparrow-was her comment—but I just cannot eat big meals like she says-I have got to rethink things.
I woke up at 3.00 with stomach pains and feeling sick-and I am still feeling rough–my friend told me my face looked green–funny–thats just how i felt !!
Well, I’m not one to preach at people, but I’ve actually been wanting to tell you for some time now that you’re not eating enough food. Your body thinks it’s in a famine, so nothing on the inside is moving in order to preserve what calories you’re taking in.
If you find it hard to eat larger meals, try and pack more calories into smaller meals, such as making your small snacks and small meals more calorie-dense. I can make a whole plate of food that’s only 200 calories or I can make a small plate that’s 500 calories. It’s all in what you eat. But don’t eat junk. Quality is just as important as quantity. Eat more nuts and avocados, nut butters, homemade granola, that sort of thing. Add some extra olive oil to your meals as well. That will help boost your calories and give you a good dose of mono fats. Dried fruits, fruit smoothies (without added sugar) bananas, etc, are all good choices. Unless you’re also watching natural sugars. If so, you may want to avoid too much fruit.
Whole grain pastas are a good way to fill up on extra calories as well. Quinoa, hummus, beans, coconut and even olives are also good ways to pack extra cals into smaller meals.
Thanks for your advice Linda–I will take it all on board. feeling a little better now.
This morning I had 3 crispbreads cottage cheese, grapes and orange
felt too ill to eat at lunch time, but had scrambled egg, microewaved tomtoes on wholebread this evening.
I also bought an infusion water bottle to encourage me to drink more water.
practically everyone was very supportive and helpful this morning. I just have to rethink a few things.
Forgive me if I’ve missed it in earlier posts, but have you seen your doctor about how ill you feel most of the time and do they know what’s going on? I don’t imagine it would be easy trying to get more food in ya if you feel too sick to eat it.
Its ok Linda–the counselling is for something else entirely—but it just affects my moods etc.
Enjoy your birthday lunch Susie-I love Indian–a nice chicken Korma–my favourite !!
Funnily its my birthday tomorrow-Im going out for a pub meal–but Im planning to stick to mushroom omeltte and salad.
Also going to lunch today–a once a monther at church—but I am taking my own pasta and mixed veg salad–and yoghurt. It is the company I crave more than the food !!
I thought I would start off today with a change of direction-so started my day with fresh fruit, pineaplle, grapes, melon, a little low fat yoghurt, plus some low sugar granola [30 grams] I know granola is usually fiull of sugar etc but I saw this one on Sainburys saying less than 4% sugar, so i assumed it would be ok–175 calories for 35 grams-sounds perfect–but when I checked it on the Syns directory for slimming world, it gives it as 6 syns for only 25 grams—it does not make sense to me—plus it cost almost £4.00, looks like i will have to waste it now. How maddening.
Please don’t think l am crowing but l am quite proud to have reached the half stone loss the doctor said l should try to lose!
I lost two pounds this week and got a Slimming World certificate and sticker. To be quite honest, l don’t like this gimmicky stuff. I also hate the constant texts with happy clappy diet talk. I have not filled out the ‘what l eat’ sheets as l feel dieting should be effortless!
I have lost weight and l am happy, l don’t want the rest of the hassle!
