A reminder to myself

After haven eating pringles and pate, I feel ever so sick. I am just writing this to remind myself that they make me really feel crap. Please, please, don't eat them again.

Last hurdle: day 1

Weigh in at the end of the week, last hurdle of the diet to get to under 70 for the summer,

Goal weight, 68, 65 kilos? I don't know... depends how I look with 68 and what fits.

Hard to get into a diet when you have been off one for such a long time. I can honestly say that whilst I have been off the diet I have not enjoyed any particular foods or felt more hungry,just been to lazy to eat properly or count up what I have ate, never got much pleasure out of the crisps I bought or anything, so I will be no worst off. I have to get down to it now and lose a bit before May and June go by.

Points:

2 crisp breads with 1 sante (1.5) (these special bread things only have 17 calories, no even the 26 calories the corn cake has)
1 digestive hacendado biscuit (1.5) (they have an extra 1/2 point for having more chocolate and being delicious)
1 chocolate corn cake thingy (1.5)
2 rounds of bread with fish thing in not much oil (6 points?)
(I am trying to be more aware of what I eat and chew more slowly).


and from then on I didnt count points, but I did control myself

I had, bran bake at work, a little bit of pasta with bread, 99 calories bar, a couple of biscuits, 1 sante on crisp bread

I am quite sure I didn't go much over my points. I felt like I needed to go and buy something salty like crisps or something of the particular, but I did stop myself by thinking about my motivations to lose weight and get into the habit of a diet.

So I take it from here, try to do even better and get into the habit of counting my points, Exercise vitamin tablets and water won't go a miss either.

Diet part 3: Day 4

I forgot to list my points today, but I did okay and eat the right things. And I did the long walk again today. So I am quite happy with how it is going. The walk is great, my ambition is to walk 3 to 4 times a week. I am planning a soup and very light lunch to make up for the romantic dinner tomorrow.

Diet part 3: Day 3

Cheese on toast: 1.5
biscuits (3)
rice cake (0.5)
cauliflower (3 the oil)
lentils (8?)
cheese on toast (3)
biscuit (1.5)
biscuit (1.5)
rivita with cheese (2)

I did 1 and 1/2 hours walking plus some yoga

I did take my vitamin tablet

So even though I was slightly over, I was happy, as I did loads of exercise today. Must keep it up and get better and keeping to my points, but I would much rather to go a bit over the points, that not count them at all or go into binge mode.

Diet part 3: Day 2

After one day of dieting I weighed myself, so I could have a first day weight. It was 74.1 kilos. I am quite happy with that, I was scared I was going to be a lot more. I have had some days of eating really really bad, salt and vinager crisps, chocolate, cakes, all sorts of rubbish, I mean, really binges, after I big binge all I feel is bloated and sick. Louise claims its psychological, but I don't really agree. She says if you were full up on salad and fruit you wouldn't feel the same as you wouldnt feel guilty. I think you feel bad because the food you eat has loads of calories and fat which your body doesn't need, and this food is also usually full of additives and other crap. I do believe you feel guilty as well as it is bad food, but I am quite sure it is not just psychological. I sometimes think Louise deludes herself with such issues. I don't argue them, I don't feel any need to be right, and prefer to have peace and nod and smile and say things like "It may be so".

I have payed a very high point price today for my healthy food. The salad was expensive because of the oil in the sauce I made, and the fish was also expensive because of the same thing, the oil. I only have 3 points left for tonight, so there will be pleanty of fruit going on.

As for the points, I am going to try to have 20 all the time. When I go under 70, I will have 18 points, so if I have already 18 points, I will find it really hard to shift the last kilos.

Points:

corn cakes (1)
cheese on toast (1.5)
biscuit (1.5)
salad (4)
fish + oil + egg (5)
biscuits (3)
rivitas with cheese and tomato (2)
rice cake (1)
biscuit (1.5)
cheese on toast (1.5)

Did exercise (gym for both stress and body)

Didn't take my vitamin tablet.

I am quite happy with this day, even if I went a bit over the points. The thing was that the food I had meant that most of my points went very early, so I didn't have any left afterwards. But I did exercise and persist with the diet, and the next day (as I am writing this bit the next day, I had gone down more than half a kilo and I was 73,5. I think that independently from the points certain food you digest them better , such as the fish and the salad, even if they were with some oil. So, on I go with my last part of the diet.
