Well, I've stuck to my resolution all week, seven long days, to not step on those scales. It was harder than I expected but it's weigh day and SW meeting and I have absolutely no idea whatsoever whether I have lost, gained or maintained.
I will know by five thirty!

Today's meal plans:
B: yogurt and fruit
The fruit will probably be apple, orange and a plum. It makes a change from tomatoes at every meal!!
SW: half a syn for the yogurt unless I have plain yogurt with some skinny syrup or similar.
around 220 calories
L: spicy bean and veg soup; apple
Another portion from the freezer and the apples are all from the allotment now so greatly chopped about. It's worth it though - they are delicious.
SW: one syn for the soup
around 200 calories
D: cheese and bacon burger, salad, SW style chips; kvarg
OK, so maybe rather OTT and I probably will cut this down when it comes to it but maybe now - I'll see how I feel.
At some point I rather fancy making these:

but in the actifry using a minimum of oil, not deep fried. I can give it a go anyway.
SW: one healthy extra A and one B, two syns for some mayo for salad and chips
745 calories - quite a lot but it works in OK
Body Magic: I have a swim booked today
Summary:
one healthy extra A and one B
around six syns
1165 calories
Hello Joy. I have never managed to go without stepping on those scales, well done. My consultant always says you get better losses when you only do it once at group each week. I can see how it would make one be more careful, ie if my scales show a weight the I think is ok considering what I've eaten then I think phew got away with it. If i don't know how I've done I theoretically should continue food optimising correctly. I can't wait, well I can but, to see how you get on today. x
ReplyDeleteI hope your consultant is right. I'm nervous! :-)

Well done, you obviously have willpower because of your weight loss. Good luck this evening.
ReplyDeleteI do seem to although where it has come from is anybody's guess. :-)

I am obsessed with a daily weighing. I don't think I could cope with a weekly weigh in.
ReplyDeleteI totally understand that - I think that if I hadn't been on target, I couldn't either. One of my less specific targets is to 'ease on down' and I guess it's part of that really.

Like Cherie above, I find a weekly weigh in near impossible. I spend in-wig he'd days worrying about what might/might not be happening! But daily weighing is depressing since not losing weight after an on-plan day is disappointing, even though I know that a daily Wright loss is unrealistic!
ReplyDeleteOur bodies just don't work like that, do they? They respond very quickly to what, when and how we eat more than the actual amount, I think, and what it holds on to from day to day has great impact. I know I can be three pound heavier if I'm a bit 'bunged up', for example.
DeleteWe all know a reasonable interval between checks is much more realistic but . . .
