Round 2 Boot Camp Day 1

After boot camp and a wedding I started being silly with food again so today I will start boot camp all over. I started eating better yesterday although I did have some handmade cake but that was the only bad thing as refused wine 3 times and Chocolate - this weight has to come off and only I can do it. 

I bought some weight watchers scales as best reviews. I know you shouldn't keep weighing yourself but I was 11st 7 1/4 yesterday so already lost some ha!

Following the NBS Boot Camp Diet again (see previous posts) I had a yogurt for breakfast and 2 eggs, 2 tomatoes and onion to make an omelette for lunch followed by a cup of green tea. 


Trying to keep busy as both my boys home and always ask for snacks which doesn't help me at all. Sticking to herbal tea mostly today to combat snack attacks. 

Dinner was Salmon with a mix of peppers, onion, tomato, courgette and sprinkle of ginger. 

I have had an ice lolly with my boys after dinner which isn't on the menu but just 39 calories. Which I should have bent off with my frantic cleaning earlier in the day.

Day 3 Food Boot Camp

Wow half way through and it has been okay I have felt hungry like this morning but today started with Garcinia Cambogia supplement 30 minutes before  breakfast so had a tea.

Today's menu:

Breakfast is two boiled eggs as seemed like it was more than eating poached. 

Lunch was a little harder today as I was out with a friend. I tried to get some soup but they then said all gone typical so I only had a banana, plum and a bottle of water. So felt very hungry in the afternoon.
I did weigh myself and already lost 3lb I'm amazed but I have been on under 800 calories a day. 

Dinner was at my mother in laws who was very sweet and made a lovely salad with a mix of peppers, cucumber and salad leaves with Turkey slices which was lovely then an apricot yogurt for dessert. 

I've been pretty hungry today as I missed lunch so calculated my calories and it's only approx 534 which is far too low so I had a yogurt late evening.

Oh Blimey

Uh! I can't control myself, I start the day well with good intentions to be good with food then it goes out the window and I want to eat everything insight. I don't understand why I do it really.
I loved when I got to goal back in November and felt great being a comfortable size 12 but now I'm heading back to 14s and see the wobbly bits again. 
It's worse when stuck in the house on my own with my boys who then make me mad about something I can guarantee it so I head for food and it's always bad food. 
I just used my scales which are always wrong by approx 4/5lb and said 11stone 10lb it was 11stone 5lb other day. I know they aren't correct but it still gives me an idea eek! I definitely think I've put on a stone at least now. 
It's coming up to a year since I started weight watchers programme which was May 3rd. I still track most days but obviously haven't been good. It's actually been a rubbish year so far with food and me in general I need motivation.

Keep Eating

What the hell is happening to me I keep wanting bad food. Yesterday I craved a kit Kat but had 3 of them then wanted crisps and ended up eating 4 packets. Last night I munched on half an Easter egg with hubby. Today it's wispas I've had 4 eek! 
I can see in my face the weight gain. My stomach and tops of legs. I can't believe I've done this after all that hard work I'm just gaining lbs. I'm so unmotivated I'm just at a stand still I'm so unsure what to do next. 
I wish I could stop craving bad food as I'm tired, moody and feel terrible.

Clean Eating Day 2

Another day I can do this, feeling a little irritable and tired though so hopefully this clean eating will start making a difference.

Breakfast: Porridge Oats made with water and added blueberries. Herbal Tea.
It wasn't to bad considering I normally have it with milk. 

Snack: Elephant food nut mix that I started yesterday. 

Feeling alittle sick so didn't make a full lunch today. Maybe I'm being too healthy my body can't cope. 

Lunch: Flax seed bar, coconut and water.

Actually enjoyed the 9 bar very tasty. The coconut is pretty Moreish but not sure I should eat the whole tub as it's quite high in calories. How does that work, I'm not counting anything but even healthy food has calories. 

Snack: Lemon and Coriander Houmous with carrot sticks.


Dinner: Chilli Stir Fry with Quorn mince 
This was nice and had quite a kick to it. 

About 9pm though I started to feel hungry so out came the grapes. Can't give in to those malteasers in the cupboard I can't.

Clean Eating Day 1

Monday 9th - Start The All-Day Energy Diet inspired by Yuri Elkaim but I actually haven't got the book yet.


Day 1: The day started with fruit 
Not too bad as a full stomach from yesterday's takeaway. I have to eat lots of fruit and veg on this diet but too much fruit bloats me so see how I go. 

My snack today will be this Elephant Food ha! It's actually quite nice. 


Lunch: spinach, tomatoes, cucumber, beetroot, avocado, pumpkin and sesame seeds with splash of olive oil and lemon. Sounds ultra healthy but all I wanted was an egg sandwich.  


Dinner: Mix of roasted veg and lemon coated fish. The fish was good as had so much flavour but veg was alittle boring. Started to feel annoyed as all this effort because you have to watch weight. I need to enjoy food.  

Started to feel hungry in the evening so had a Ginger herbal tea. 

Day 1 complete Thank Good.

Weight issues

I'm struggling again to eat right I had lost 2.5lb since the Christmas and New Year  binge but I put on 3lb after weigh in on 30th Jan which takes me back up to 10stone 13lb eek! This takes me back to August last year.

I'm so unmotivated at the moment even though in March we have a mini holiday by the sea and its my 34th birthday which is approx 5 weeks away. I need to get back on track as I know I will feel down otherwise. I've loved fitting in size 12 clothes and getting rid of those size 16s so why am I jeopardising all my hard work. 

Some days I wake thinking right I'm going to be good today which I do but by the end of the day it's all gone to pot. 

Yesterday I started my 7 minute app exercise and today I woke up very achy  which shows I haven't exercised for a while. The app prompts you each day so I will make myself do it as it is only 7 minutes. By the summer I will be pleased I did so got to keep it going.

Weight Track Goal and Beyond

At week 30 on my weight lose journey I made it to Goal and over by 1lb. 
10 stone 5lb on 29th November 2014

Since then I have gone off track as I no longer have my weight watchers app so I started eating the things I haven't for so long like sausage and chips, chocolate, cake, proper crisps so I was surprised to have only gained 1.5lb on week 33 20th December 2014 which took me to 10 Stone 7.5lb. 
Then it was Christmas which meant family get togethers which included buffet food, alcohol, chocolate and roast dinners. I felt bigger and my trousers felt a little tight. At week 
35 3rd January 2015 I had gained 5lb eek! Which makes me now 10st 12.5lb. 

6.5lb over my goal weight now gutted but I had eaten badly so I should count myself lucky. I have now got a weight watchers calculator and diary so I am writing everything down I eat. First day went well but second day we had a relatives birthday which meant lunch and cake so I'm now trying but I keep getting chocolate cravings and giving in but I have given up alcohol for the month in aid of Cancer Research so hopefully that will help the weight. 

My aim is to lose all my gained weight and more by my birthday on 12th March. Here goes :)

Weight Track Week 9-12


Week 9: Gained 0.5lb (gutted)
Lots of exercise this week including fitness DVD, BuggyFit and walking. I calculated if I walk to and from the supermarket it is approx 3 miles.
I do tons of walking as I sold my car last year and the boys are getting heavier to push in the buggy so it's a great work out. I am also an Avon Rep so I'm always delivering, posting and collecting orders and books. I've been abit stressy with the boys this week so I have been snacking more again eek! So I guess that is were I went wrong as I nibbled on the boys left overs as well. I used all my extra 49 pp but thought I would be ok as I exercised. It seems to be all about food with me if I lose. 

Week 10: Lost 3lb 
I have had a better week with food after gaining the week before, I have kept the wine as a treat though. I haven't done the exercise dvd this week but have had one session of BuggyFit. I also have some of my extra Pro Points left. 
Reached 10% goal and received my keyring woohoo! 

I've been looking at pounds and kg and I've lost 8kg that's approx 8 bags of sugar that mad when you think about carrying that around with you all day. (156lb).

Week 11: Lost 1.5lb
Feeling good this week as I was curious about trying a size 12 dress on I saw so I put over my clothes and a woman said it looked nice and trendy so I had to buy it but the best thing was its a size 12 amazing it has been so long. I also tried on a denim skirt that I have had in my draw for at least two years and it is not tight anymore hehe!
I have booked a holiday for September which is roughly 10 weeks away and I'm thinking I would like a nice bikini so this will be my aim over the coming weeks as I would like to look good in one (no wobbly bits). 
17.07.14 Feeling Good.
It was hubby's birthday so we do have sausage and chips at the seaside but I shared with my two boys. Also friends staying over so more wine was had eek! I was good in other ways as I gave my chips away at dinner and refused cake and ice cream.

Week 12: Lost 0.5lb (wanted 1lb)
Bad week for wine I've got a taste for it now so I have switched to a light rose. I've walked and sweated a lot in the heat so that must help. One day I was really bad and had half a choc orange (I can't believe I did that) but my boys stressed me out so it was a way to make myself feel better.  
Started the 30 day shred again so just managed 3 days as started Wednesday. I increased the exercise but only had 1 weekly pp left which again shows its all about the food. Gutted I wanted to reach 11 stone this week so close.

Need To Binge

I've been trying to lose weight after having Joel 5 and half months ago which I have and calculated that it must be about 20lb that I have lost so far.

The last few weeks though I have lost all motivation I was steadily losing 1-2lb a week by walking lots, eating less and if I had anything bad I would share it. Yesterday it hit me that I have to stop eating so much rubbish as I'm feeling the pounds coming back on and I'm feeling so sluggish. I can eat a bag of sweets or a big bar of chocolate most days or if like the other day I ate a whole pack of Oreo biscuits. What the hell am I doing that's over 500 cals alone.
 I keep thinking why and when am I doing this and it does tie in when I'm extremely stressed with Ollie's behaviour. I at times get so angry inside I escape to the kitchen on the look out for anything bad I can get my hands on to calm me down and most of the time I'm not even hungry so I guess I'm comfort eating but if I carry on I'm going to get huge and I defiantly will not be happy with myself then. 

After reading a post yesterday on bingeing it actually made me feel better its not just me and it can be linked to stress or even depression.
 I'm not alone so today I have started using Myfitnesspal again as it logs everything I eat or any exercise I do to keep track, I did this before and it does help as you become more concious of what you eat. 
New day and new me (hopefully) I've already struggled as Ollie has been very difficult this morning so I've been so tempted to eat but I haven't given in. I hope I can carry on with the same attitude today.
