Weekend indulgence

So I weighed in on saturday. 77.6KG..Oh dear!

Saturday

Breakfast/Lunch : 2 small bowls of all bran with dried fruits (raisins, dates, pineapple, papaya, apricots)

Dinner: Chicken wrap and chips with garlic sauce and one piece of garlic bread and a Malteaster. Fail

Sunday

Breakfast: Bowl of all bran with dried fruits

Lunch: Can of cream of asparagus soup with 2 wholewheat bread thins.1 bag of Tayto onion rings.

Dinner: 1/2 tin beans, mushrooms fried on lurpack lightest, tomatoes, 2 poached eggs and 2 hash browns.

So yes I had a fry up for dinner but I used minimal oil, avoided sausages and bacon and tried to focus on veg. The worst things on the plate were the 2 hash browns and poached eggs.

I feel that I do better during the week down to daily routine.

So I have made my sandwiches for tomorrow. 2 Warbutons wholewheat thins.

I have agreed to go to the gym on Monday and Thursday. So hopefully I will be able to do so.

And for dinner tomorrow veg soup is on the menu!!

Night all, hope you all had a good weekend x

So today I have had an apple, 2 yogurts and my ham cheese and pickle sandwich. I used a wide potato peeler to thinly slice the 33% less fat cheese so there wasn't a great deal of it, just enough to taste.

I went to the hairdressers to dinner was a bit of a write off! I was very organised and made spicy parsnip soup, however I did think we needed a little something to go with it. So nipped to M&S before going home and picked up some bread and then 2 chicken legs and then some packs of wraps..Oops. we had a little picnic in the kitchen, although none of it diet food except the soup!

I have my gym membership for now and I am going to give it another go. I have been meaning to cancel my subscription however I don't want to rush into it.

So nothing more to report today except I hope to do better tomorrow!

Good Night! :-)

Changing..

Well I'm back.. and yet again Fat!

Over 2012 I made several attempts to restart the Dukan diet, and whilst it was a simple option when I was single.

I have found its not so easy to stick to when your part of a couple and the other half loves everything with carbs!

It took a while but I started accepting carbs back into my life and after some time I didnt feel guilty about it. I ate a sandwish everyday and had pasta, rice or potatoes most evenings.

We went on holiday last April and as usual I felt massive when we came home. I took action and went from 77KG to 69KG by September by following weightwatchers religouslty.. well almost!

Me and Dan bought a house in September and as you can imagine the diet started to slip.. yet again, sane old story.

So easterhe has come and the chocolate has gone, lots and lots of it and I am dreading the scales. I will do it, and hopefully can start taking action soon. This year we are not planning a holiday, money is tight due to our recent purchase.

One of the things about the Dukan that was  not ideal was the expense, I like meat but not enough to scoff it at every meal. I had to buy lots of smoked salmon and nice cuts of meat to enable me to stick to the diet.

With Weightwatchers I am hoping to diet on a budget. Saving and slimming is what I need to do.

First things first. I need to get my food shop down, in March I spent over £480 on food (doesn't include any alcohol) for 2 of us. I dont throw lots of things away but there must be ways I can save some money and I am going to have a play and see what can be done.

I have done weightwatchers many years ago and never thought about blogging about it, probably because I haven't really seen any weightwatchers blogs. I haven't really looked very hard to be honest. I learnt all about Dukan though a blog and thats where this is different.

I am currently spending £10.95 per month on the weightwatchers website and it is a resource that I dont use as much as I should with an abundance of recipes that I could do with trying.

Its worked for me before and I am determined to make it work for me again. Wish me luck, hoping to get down to 74 by 20 May 2013. I have a lovely Wheels and Doll Baby dress that Dan bought me for Christmas and I am looking forward to it fitting a little better.

Weigh in details will follow.. on Saturday
