Day 7

I can't believe that's it, a whole week has gone by and I have been mostly good, yes I've had some little slip ups however I would say on average I have been consuming less than 1500 calories per day therefore I feel I should have lost something. We'll find out tomorrow at the weigh in. I am thinking my scales are slightly dodgy and regretting not weighing myself at boots or somewhere that I feel may be somewhat more reliable.

Breakfast - Forest fruits shake, and as I suspected this was absolutely rotten!

Mid snack - small tub of hummus with some cucumber and a 30g piece of cheese

Lunch - Roasted pepper and tomato soup, and again this was rotten!!

Afternoon snack - x 1 scrambled egg, it was a large egg and was a double yolker.

Dinner - x 1 Duck leg with a small amount of parsnip mash (I know on the avoid list), carrots, roasted pepper, onion and courgette.

Supper snack - 30g soft cheese and some strawberries

Not much to update on today. I am thinking of getting some exercise in next week as my do in on Saturday and I am hoping to have lost a few pounds for then and just generally feel a little slimmer/more comfortable in my dress.

I have been painting, hoovering and cleaning for most of the day so I'm sure that has burnt a few calories, well I hope so!

Day 6

So as expected because of the weekend and inevitable lye ins the diet has gone to pit slightly.

I weighed myself when I woke up before it all went wrong. 76.8, so a 1.8 kilo loss over 5 days, not amazing but i'll take it.

Breakfast - I slept in so I missed this

Mid snack - blueberries and x 6 small salmon and cream cheese appetisers

Lunch - we went to subway and the other half had a foot long chicken temptation with sweet onion sauce, of which I had a bite.

I asked for a tuna salad box and was hoping for cheese and lots of southwest sauce, didn't get any cheese and they were being very stingy with the sauce so I think diet wise this was a good choice, it included to tablespoons of tuna mayo, lettuce, green peppers, some chopped olives, pickles, jalapeños, onion and cucumber.

Snack - x2 celery sticks with 30g soft cheese and wrapped with x3 slices ham

Dinner - Chocolate shake

So the other half ordered dominoes to eat whilst I enjoyed my shake although I did offer to cook him some dinner.

It arrived and I am not keen on the pizza but I love the garlic bread, of which he saved me 2 pieces which I accepted.. Doh! They were so good.

Now I'm eating strawberries..

Hopefully tomorrow will be better

Day 17 - PV Cruising.. still

yesterdays weight: 74.2kg lbs

Todays Weight: 74.6kg lbs Nooo!

Breakfast: oatbran with 1% fat milk and a tablespoon of highlights hot chocolate, maybe less next time it tastes more salty than chocolatey if im honest!

Lunch: mattersons twisted tails, hog roast flavour was utterly manky and I wont be going there again! I got a salad from the sandwich shop, lettuce, cucumber, egg, pepper, tomato, again a few half olives and a sprinkling of feta, and a pack or pork loin slices on top,,, yummy!

Dinner: My mum made roast chicken, and I made a mushroon gravy to accompany, it was good!! I had roast beetroot and my spiraliser arrived today so i had some carrot spirals too, was lush with the gravy and the crunch ;-)

Snacks: very bad I know. Yesterday I made a gluten free, dairy free orange and almond cake, infact I made 3.. miniature cakes that is, they are about the size of a saucer and i had 1/6 of one..it was soo good!

Summary: I feel really let down by eating that cake, and im trying to rationalise that I have consumed much less calories than I was consuming each day before this diet, and it's not like I went on a mental binge, but I still feel I have failed. I hope this does not affect the next few days, i want to pick up where I left off and have no more slip ups, this week atleast.

 I am going to see dolly, yes it is a sad dream of mine to see the queen of country live. so I am sure that I will have a drink then and I will have to be extra strict now for whatever slip ups occur during that couple of days spent in liverpool... Looking forward to decent shops, we currently have choice of about 8-9 clothing stores here..

Here is the yummy orange cake, which will be great for the stableization phase, oviously I am never thinking of overdoing it, but I feel this cake is a treat and will be a treat and is only 250cals per slice and is low on sugar and carbs in comparison to other cakes, and it only used 4 ingredients.
