I suck

Posted by dolcifiori on July 19th, 2009 |Filed Under The Journey | Leave a Comment

Ya, so I suck. Big time! The wonderful 4lbs i lost is right back on there.

Oh man, why can’t I just frigging do this? It’s not like I don’t WANT to! I do, I just can’t.

My head is screwed to fcuk. I have a wedding to go to in a WEEKS time and i’m gonna be standing there like a frumpy lumpy bump and I know it. Its too frigging late now, which makes me quit even harder.

I’ve been trying to do slimming world but my head really just isn’t where i need to be to do it. I think part of the problem is that i “KNOW” it (or at least I THINK I know it). I am really considering switching plans. Switching over to something new -that i’d NEED to spend time on working things out -LEARNING. I am not putting any pressure on this coming week. I already have enough of that with the upcoming wedding. I’m aiming to figure out this week what i want (need) to do to fix this, with a view to “starting” something on the 27th.

I started to try and loose weight when i was 16 - that was 13 years ago and still i’ve achieved NOTHING. I can not possible spend another 13 years trying to figure it all out.

One week, one week is all i’m giving myself to straighten this all out.

Yes, I DO suck.

Moments of silence..

There are never many of those in this house. There is always something going on, always a buzz of something in the air, but right now - its silent and I like it.

This morning has been strange. Maybe its just lack of sleep thats caused it. We had a rough night last night, Lucy is choked with the cold and sneezing ever few minutes. It was 7am before we got back to sleep and then she woke me up again at 9:30 for breakfast. I had plans for today but to be honest I just want to be asleep again! Lucy is napping just now, so i’m just taking half an hour to relax while I have the chance.

Once she wakes up we’re going to head out to the shops and get some messages and i need to go to the bank. I was contemplating a Loch walk but i’m not sure if the rain will hold off long enough. We did a post office run yesterday which is I just worked out on the map distance calculator is 0.9 miles which is actually further than i expected it to be. We’ll see what today brings, i’m not pushing out the boat to be honest. Its just gone noon, so we’ll do lunch and head out.

Today i’m aiming for 2 litres of water but struggling already. I filled up my small bottle so i can take it out with me.

I had tea with milk & alpen for breakfast.

Not sure about lunch, maybe just a couple of slices of toast and some coffee i think.

Will update again later this evening.

CAKE….lots of cake…

Ok, there is still HALF a frigging birthday cake lying in my kitchen and not a damn soul to eat it! I had a little today with my coffee. Its good till the 4th August but I don’t foresee it lasting that long with out A) being eaten or B) being chucked in the bin. The sponge is lovely with its gooey mallow-cream but the fondant is rather sickly, even for my sweet tooth. Its times like this i wish my brother were around, he’d demolish it in a matter of minutes and there wouldn’t be an issue lol I detest food waste and It is my worst trait. Maybe i’ll have a little (and i really mean A LITTLE) with my coffee each day till the weekend then whatever is still there on Saturday can get chucked.

Today i’ve had:

NOT enough water - i need to try much harder with this one. Some days its easy but most days i struggle.

1 cheese slice roll

4 cups coffee (black)

2 cups tea (white)

1and 1/2 sausage roll and 2 cheese and onion pasties

1 treacle scone and 1 fruit slice

2 slices toast with peanut butter

TOMORROW

I’d really like to use up some polenta block i have in the cupboard that i’ve had no clue EVER what to do with. I just google some recipes and have a few ideas. Tomorrow i’m also gonna try the meal planning for a few days ahead as it worked perfectly last week and I’m hoping it will this week too. Its all about time and dedication - isn’t it ever!!

I’ve found the yellow brick road!

Ok so, yesterday being my 29th birthday had me thinking. If by some mere miracle i could manage to shift just 2lb a week for the next 52 weeks i’d be hitting my goal right on time for my 30th birthday! How awesome would THAT be!?!

So yea its a dream right now. Usually I always have these GREAT intentions that by 2 weeks in have totally fallen through and by 2 months in had totally hit the deck and no hope of any kind of achieving.

I really really want to do this, honestly you have NO IDEA HOW BADLY! I know no-one but ME can do this but i really need you guys to will me on in this quest. So come on and help me…sing along lol

Follow the Yellow Brick Road. Follow the Yellow Brick Road.
Follow, follow, follow, follow,
Follow the Yellow Brick Road.
Follow the Yellow Brick, Follow the Yellow Brick,
Follow the Yellow Brick Road.

We’re off to see the Wizard, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
You’ll find he is a whiz of a Wiz! If ever a Wiz! there was.
If ever oh ever a Wiz! there was The Wizard of Oz is one because,
Because, because, because, because, because.
Because of the wonderful things he does.
We’re off to see the Wizard. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

Happy Birthday to ME!

Last week I had a good week walking. I rested for a few days as i’d managed 7.5 miles over 4 days which wasn’t too bad going. Right now things are just too hectic around here to schedule in time daily and stick to it. I am trying to plan it in where i can, but just sometimes shit happens (and it rains!).

So this week I am aiming for 3.3miles between tue/wed/thu and possibly 3.5 on sat or sun depending on the weather.

making progress!

Well yesterdays coffee drinking plan seemed to have cracked it! :) I ate well yesterday and got in plenty of walking.

Breakfast: Alpen (B-choice) with milk (A-choice) and banana & strawberries.

Lunch: 2 slice toast (6 syns) and peanut butter (9 syns) and a banana on top.

Dinner: Scrambled Eggs, Bacon (without fat), mushrooms, plum tomatoes and a small slice black pudding (5 syns)

I KNOW i went over my 15 syns but i know i done a lot more excercise than I had planned to so i figured it would even itself out :)

I also done 3.5miles walking which was good :)

HOWEVER i was too busy to manage to do meal plans for today, tomorrow and saturday. So right now i’m off to make some toast and banana & peanut butter for breakfast then i’m right onto it!

Food & Excercise today

For breakfast I had 28g Alpen light with milk, banana & strawberries. (A & B choice) with coffee.

We’re finally up and ready and heading out the door on for a nice long walk. I decided to track a plan on google earth and it came up as 3.4miles so thats what we’re heading for today. I hope the rain stays away and the swans are out for us to feed on our travels as Lucy loves watching them!

Before we leave i’m gonna grab a couple of slices of toast and banana and a coffee. Then we’ll get the shopping for dinner on the way back.

The secret is in the coffee!

So yea yesterday wasn’t too hot foodwise, I cracked on the chocolate front. The headaches - wow, plus good old aunt flo is around and not helping matters. So yea chocolate was my sin yesterday.  I’m getting really bad headaches and possibly from caffine cutout so i’m going to try up my coffee intake to balance out the caffine thing and see if it helps. I only drink 2-3 cups of coffee a week so upping it to 1-2 a day won’t do me any harm. I just hope the solution is as simple as that, but we’ll see.

Yesterday we done another Loch walk and we’re planning another one today if we can get our butts in gear and get out the door! Will report back later and update!

PS: the meal planning thing is working out REALLY WELL! Althought i kinda blew it yesterday, it wasn’t because i was hungry it was just chocolate i craved. I need to do meal plans today for tomorrow, Friday and Saturday so i’ll be posting them later too!
